PERFECT SYMMETRY
44. Not a kid.
"You can't possibly be serious"Sue starts getting agitated, and Leah only lets a bark of laughter rumble through her chest. There's no hint of amusement or happiness in the laugh, so it only serves to trouble her already perturbed mother.
"Let me guess"Leah puts her finger, pretending to be thinking really hard. "We're too young to be in love, we work together, he has an imprint..."
"You need to stop right now young lady. I don't care what you think you know or how angry you are. It wouldn't matter if you were ten or forty. I'm still your mother, and I deserve some respect"
"Fine. If you want to be respected then don't meddle or pry into things that don't concern you" Leah said opening the door of her kitchen "Do you honestly think I'd be interested in anything you'd say about this?"
"Leah-"
"I'm not"Leah cuts her off. "You don't get a say. Seth should've known better than open that stupid mouth of his."
"Well you're just going to have to hear me anyways"Sue said closing on her, and matching her temper " You've got responsabilities now kid"
"Stop calling me kid. I'm not a kid. And I don't need you telling me I have responsabilities. I know." She paused to take a deep breath " I have two girls to care for, and boys I'm responsible for. I've been dealing with them on my own. And I've been doing fine. I don't need ou telling me shit about it."
"Leah-"
"I'm not finished mom"Leah said shaking her head "No one gets to question my decisions, especially you. Whatever happens between Jake and me, he and I will deal with it. All you need to know is that I love him and he loves me"
"I will not have you talk to me like that"Sue said boiling with anger "I just hope you realize what you're doing before it blows up in your face Leah"
"Mom.."Regret starts sinking into Leah, when she how visbly upset her mother is.
"No"Leah flinches when she hears Sue's strangled voice "I came here hoping to reconcile with my daughter, and instead I get this brat yelling at me and talking to me as if her problems were my fault"
"Well it seems you tried to reach out, three years too late."
"Leah-"
"Just close the door on your way out"Is all she says before disappearing through the staircase in the kitchen.
a/N: another crappy update... it's not going to be rainbows and sunshine... and i am very conflicted when it comes to sue. i know she's described as a tough character, and while i've always praised and encouraged this quality in women, i don't think it would suit well for their daughter-mother relationship.....pay me no mind.
btw i didn't like the trailer of the movie at all..... it's like weird im not even excited about it....:S:S last year i was going all twi crazy about the wolves... and i've managed to be even more digusted by bella/edward.
