PERFECT SYMMETRY
56. Say when
"Is there a specific reason you wanted us to come here?" Leah asked settling on the edge of the fountain.
"Did you know that's where my mother saved my father?"She dropped out of the blue pointing to the clock tower a couple of feet away.
Having no idea what she was supposed to say. Leah only shook her head.
"Yeah, aunt Alice showed me when I came for Christmas" Nessie said seriously. She took another spoon of her gelato.
"This is so good"She beamed.
"Best ice cream I've ever had"Leah agreed.
"When are we going back?"Nessie asked.
"You say when"Leah said.
"Is it okay if we go home already. I miss everyone"
"Nessie , I thought you were going to think about your aunt's request" Leah said reminding her of what she had promised to Rosalie.
"And I have"She pointed out, reaching out her hand for Leah to take. Leah sighed and took her hand. She had been trying her best to get Nessie to stop using her power, instead of words, whenever they were discussing serious matters. Leah knew she needed to learn to speak her mind without having to show her thoughts.
Suddenly she could see the palace, and the variety of vampires, the books, musical instruments, paintings, sculptures, the different Cullens in their daily activities and then she was back in La Push, and she was showing her the school, her classmates, her teacher, the beach, the grocery store, the playground, the park, their house, other kids, Claire, Jake, Leah.
"I like it here"Nessie said when Leah released her hand. "I love my aunts and uncles, and my grandpa and grandma are the best. But I want to go home"
"Nessie"Leah said having a lot of trouble to find the words she wanted"They are your family"
"And you are my family too, you said say when…" Nessie said starting to get upset.}
"Leah pulled her up into her lap and laughed a little bit. "Yes,we are your family and we love you. We'll go home if that's what you want. But you need to talk to them, especially with your Aunt Rose."
"Okay"
"Okay, then. Now is there a reason why you brought me here?" A devious smile appeared on Nessie and she nodded, jumping off her lap, and opening her little purse to search for something.
"Jake told me to give it to you in this exact spot" She said taking out a letter .
"What does it say?"Leah asked frowning looking at the envelop which clearly said Leah and was in Jake's handwriting.
"I don't know. Open it" She giggled turning her back on Leah, and playing with the skirt of her dress. But Leah suspected, Nessie did know. And from the faces she was making, it was probably something stupid and corny.
But the letter had instructions, directing her to a certain spot in the fountain. And there, she found the stupid and corny. The letters L and J, and 4ever were carved, inside a heart.
"He's such a loser"Leah said laughing and shaking her head.
"But you love it"Nessie taunted her. And Leah stopped fighting the big grin, and nodded. She loved it.
Even if it was stupid and corny.
