PERFECT SYMMETRY

64. Your something

She's almost finished packing, she's just missing one clothing piece. And searching for it, has taken all morning, She needs a dress. She's been going through her closet, while Nessie and Claire run in and out of the master bedroom, playing tag.

So maybe she doesn't exactly need it, but she honestly can't picture herself getting married in a skirt or jeans. Maybe Jacob doesn't care what she's wearing. She's almost sure that she could say her vows naked and he wouldn't mind. In fact, he would probably encourage her to do so, if she voiced her thoughts.

"It's okay, you can come in" She says without turning to her guest, as she stares at her closet for the thousandth time.

"I still can't get used to the fact that you guys hear everything"Rachel says quietly stepping into the bedroom. She feels a little unnerved when Claire and Nessie stop completely what they were doing and just stand and stare at her. She tries giving them a small smile, but the two girls are having none of it. She thinks Nessie is actually glaring at her.

Rachel clears her throat loudly, and the small girl only crosses her arms in response, Claire imitating her as well. Leah chuckles at the three of them and shakes her head, turning away from the closet.

Rachel is relieved and looks up at Leah "I wanted to talk to you"

"Say hi to Rachel and go pack your toys, because Jake will be here any minute now" There's a hint of amusement in Leah's voice, but the tone is still stern. Both girls mutter a brief hi rachel, Claire more enthusiasticly than Nessie and run out of the bedroom.

"I'm sorry" Rachel says quickly "I screwed up again. And once again I took it out on you"Leah stops her mid sentence and wraps her arms around her friend, who breaks down into quiet sobs.

"It's okay Rach it's me. You could practically tell me to fuck off, and I'll still be here. I love you" Leah whispers in her ear "And when you're ready to talk about it. Im going to be here to listen and help if you want me to" The reassuring words are comforting and soon enough, they're both laughing. Reminiscing of how some things haven't changed, and it's like they're still thirteen.

"I've got something for you" Rachel says pushing the small bag she had been carrying towards Leah. "My brother told me all about your crazy plans, and while I certainly do not approve being left out" Leah pulls out a beautiful dress from the bag "It was mom's wedding dress. And since Becca and I coudln't wear it because of our height, or well our lack of , I thought it would fit you"

"I don't-" Leah was speechless but Rachel was having none of it

"Save it, You love it, and you'll wear it. It'll be your something old and something borrowed."

"What's this?" Leah asked taking out a small velvet box

"Oh that's my gift and your something blue" She opened it to reveal a pair of sapphire earrings "And I should warn you, that im throwing you guys a wedding reception as soon as you come back. And no, you can't do anything about it"

But there was nothing Leah wanted to do about for once, she was willing to sit back and enjoy.
