Chapter 6- Back Together
Jacob's POV:
I layed leah on the couch gently, trying not to wake her from her sleep. she seemed so peacful, angelic even. But she
wasn't like that 30 minutes ago as i played the memory of her dropping from a cliff in my head over and over again.
Flashback
"NNOO!" I screamed as i saw Leah drop to her death plummetting 20 feet of a rock cliff. I couldnt bear to watch it! there
was to much pain from both her and me. there was not time for reaction so i recovered by jumping in after her. I could
feel the wind on my face as i went into a diving position. i had done this plenty of times with my friends but Leah never
did and i figured that she wasn't trying to save herself now. I was now underneath her in mid air. I grabbed her as
tightly as i could in my arms but she was screaming like bloody mary and would not stay still.
"Let.. me... GO!" she cried out.
"No i...!" but i didnt have time to finish as we dropped underneath the ice freezing water. I was barely holding on to my
own breath. finally my head came up.
"Leah! where... are you?!" i managed to say wwhile treading water and choking on my own breath. Then i saw her. she
was floatig. her back was towards the water and her face was halfway in the water and halfway out. panicing for her life,
i swam as fast as i could and grabbed her before anything else could happen. As i dragged her out of the water, i could
sense her movement. A spark of hope jumped inside of me. she wasnt dead!
Flashback ended
I sighed. how am i ever going to get over this memory? oh wait! I'M NOT!
I rubbed my neck wincing as a felt pain rush up to my head.
"Must've hit my head on a rock or something," i muttered to myself and looking back at Leah who was still sound asleep.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked straight at me.
"Am i dead?" she asked my and i couldn't help but chuckle at that one. she glared at me with her murder eyes.
"Ok ok sorry! no ur not dead. we are at my place. Billy's not suppose to be back for another day or so. he went on a
weekend fishing trip with Charlie."
"So.. I'm not dead?"
"Did you not just hear me?!"
"Jeez alright! No need to overreact."
"Says the girl who jumped over a cliff and nearly killed herself." Leah rolled her eyes and gave a "hmmph!" i put my
hands up in defense but then lowered them as i looked at Leah knowing we both wanted to say some things to each
other.
"You know what i'm going to say, don't you?" I asked her.
"yes and I already have a response for you." she said. " I know it was stupid to risk my life for you because you are not
worth it and I think it would be best if we don't see each other anymore."
"Exactly! So.. wait. what?"
"You heard me."
"You don't want to be with me anymore?"
"Jake, I'm not falling for any guy anymore! don't you see what a guy does to a girl! He torments her until she can't take
it any more and she dies inside and what does he get out of it? A couple of laughs and a great joke to tell his friends!"
"I'm not like that and you know it!"
"You sure about that? cause what I saw, is you, trying to please your friends to make a big joke from this whole
situation!"
"so what are we suppose to do about it? we live in the same area and in a pack together! You can't avoid me forever!"
"That's why i'm leaving."
I suddenly got lightheaded on my feet. "You... what?!"
"I'm leaving La Push. For good this time."
"Why?!"
"You know why!"
"No i don't! Now give me a good reason now!"
"Jacob quit shouting at me! This is not about you!"
"Leah!"
"Fine! i'll give you a good reason! It's because i hate this place and I cant stand you! In fact, i can't even bear to look at
you for one more second!"
"Well if you can't look at me why don't you just get out now!?"
"I will!"
"Good! now get out of here!" I yelled at her and she stomped out of the house as i stood in the middle of the room, not
knowing what to do. As i stood there, I felt a drop in my lower right chest where my heart was.
check that, where it USED to be.
Leahs POV:
As i began stuffing as many clothes as I can into one bag, I began thinking how my life was a blur. All of the things that i
have done, I just couldn't wait to get out of here. Just then Seth popped in my room stolling happily and whistling.
"Hey sis watcha..."
"I'm getting outa here," I said stuffing one of my jeans into my bag. "I can't take it anymore."
"You can't just leave and..."
"Oh yes I can! I'm old enough now Seth and to be honest, I should have done this a long time ago."
"Leah I need you."
"No you don't. Seth this is a new start for both of us. You can't be trailing after me all the time and taking all the blame
for what I have done. You need to learn how to grow up without me."
"Leah, I need you. mom needs you. After what happened to dad..." I felt a familiar pain in my throat that always
happened before i cried. I know mom was goingt o take this badly. But i left her a note, and Seth was here to explain it
since he saw me leave. She would understand. But this was ging to leave another hole in her heart.
"Mom will be fine Seth. She understands how I am and she knows this was going to come one day. But you need to take
care of her. She needs you too."
"You're not ever coming back are you?" I paused on the question and stopped packing. I looked at him straight in the
eye and tried to tell him in my most firm voice.
"No I'm not. But I will contact you by writing letters and calling you every night." As i grabbed my duffle bag full of my
clothes and item I packed, it felt heavy, kinda like me.
"See ya Seth," I Said to him. We both bear hugged each other and then went are seperate ways.
As I got into my truck I breathed deeply. It felt good to get out of hear. I can start a new life and have no worries. The
only thing I regretted leaving behind, was my family.
