Characters belong to S.m

Weep for yourself, my man

You'll never be what is in your heart

Weep, little lion man

You're not as brave as you were at the start
Rate yourself and rake yourself

Take all the courage you have left

Waste it on fixing all the problems

That you made in your own head

But it was not your fault, but mine

And it was your heart on the line

I really fucked it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

-Little Lion Man/ Mumford and Sons

It Was Your Heart on the Line

"Just give her five more minutes." Jacob ran his hands through his thick short hair again as his eyes searched the tree line.

"Face it Jacob, she's not coming." Bella sneered while putting the final bag in to the trunk. Jacob stood a few feet away with his back turned on his new family impatiently waiting for his Beta to see him off. They were leaving for Alaska today and it was his last chance to see her for the next while. For the next long while. His heart sank as he thought about how long he would actually be gone for.

He knew Leah was angry with him. He even understood it. But this was his final day and he always thought she would be the first person there to help with bags, get everything shoved into the tiny over expensive car and then throw her arms around him refusing to let go. Part of him knew that it was a long shot but he had still hoped. The last time Jacob saw Leah was the day he commanded her to stay in La Push. It had been three weeks since that day and each moment that passed without her by his side made his heart clench. She would be here right? He thought to himself. Leah was always there for him and always had been.

"Jacob we really must be going."

He looked over his shoulder at Edward reading his face for any sign that the she wolf was on her way. When he saw Edward shake his head he knew that there was no chance Leah was coming. Just as Jacob turned around he heard the familiar sound of paws hitting the ground. He froze and turned back around while a large grin spread across his face. He knew she'd come. Leah was his best friend and even if she was angry with him she would still come say goodbye. He meant more to her than she let on, he knew she wouldn't let a petty fight come between them.

Jacob jogged over to the tree line ready to embrace his best friend when he noticed the sandy brown wolf. He glanced behind Seth looking for some sign that the other Clearwater had come as well but was left unsatisfied. The large canine rose on his hind legs before phasing back into his human form.

"Hey Jake." Seth tried to give off his usual happy persona, but Jacob knew Seth was coming to give him bad news. He could see it on the young man's face. His eyes looked tired and hsi face was etched with worry.

"Listen- Leah, well she. She wanted to come really she did but- She's just upset right now Jake." Seth came closer and lifted a large hand to grip Jacob's shoulder in a comforting manner and offered him a small smile. Seth had begged Leah to come knowing her absence would hurt Jacob. But she had refused. In fact she refused to even phase back. She spent every moment patrolling running herself into the ground in order to forget that her dreams had been tossed aside once again for the rest of the pack. If Jacob wanted her to fulfill her duties, then she would. She would use every waking moment to prove that not even Jacob Black could break her. She was stronger than him. Stronger than all of them.

"Is she okay?" Jacob really didn't want to know if Leah was hurting. He couldn't take her hatred. She meant so much to him. That's why he couldn't let her go. She would leave La Push and go to England and never come back. He would probably lose her to some successful man and would be forgotten. As if he never existed. Just the thought of it left his heart burning. No, he couldn't allow that to happen.

"Yeah Jake, she's alright." Seth knew the truth would only hurt his alpha and as much as he cared for Jacob, he also knew if Jacob phased and tried to approach Leah, it would only make matters worse. If lying to Jacob would protect his sister, then so be it. Seth had seen Leah be tossed aside over and over. He watched Sam break every promise and her heart. He watched as Leah put on a brave face during his cousin's wedding. A wedding that should have been her, and then he saw her break apart again all because of another imprint. Jacob Black's imprint. Seth has seen Leah suffer enough. He could not allow it to happen again.

"But listen man, you should really get going. Looks like they're waiting for you. So I guess I'll see ya around alright?" Seth reached forward and gave Jacob a quick hug before heading back to the cover of the trees. With one last glance Seth phased and ran towards the treaty line.

Jacob stood frozen and unsure of what he should do. He really wanted to phase and try and get Leah to at least say something to him but the sound of honking caught his attention. Bella had shifted over her husband and began pressing her palm against the steering wheel with a scowl on her face. A scowl that matched the one Renesmee had on her lips. They had never looked so simillar. He gave them a grimace of a smile before looking through the forest one last time.

"Jacob, you really fucked up this time." He sighed to himself before walking to the car. He slowly slid into the back seat with his imprint and leaned his head against the tinted window.

"Mommy, why didn't Aunt Rose and Uncle Em come say good bye. " Renesmee asked as she fidgeted with her new ipod.

"Because sweetheart, Aunt Rose had something else to do." Bella replied without looking away from the mirror she had in her hand. Renesmee seemed upset with this answer and gave a pout while crossing her arms over her chest.

"Why did she go to see Leah? We're the ones leaving!" Jacobs's attention was pulled from the passing trees as he met Edward's eyes in the rear view mirror. Edward gave him a look of pity before focusing back on the road; while Bella tensed waiting for Jacob's outburst.

"Blondie went to go see Leah? When?" Jacob could felt his pulse quicken while his body began to tremble. His heart squeezed painfully at the thought of Leah replacing him with the blonde vampire. Since when had they become so close. Why was she allowed to see Leah when he couldnt even get within a hundred yards of her.

"Does it really matter Jacob?" Bella replied in a bored tone." If she wanted to see you or talk to you, hell, even have anything to do with you she would have come by. But she didn't. She didn't come say goodbye and as far as I am aware you two haven't spoken in weeks so forget it and forget her. It is time to move on from this place and from that life. You have Renesmee now."

Jacob's eyes widened at her words. This was not the Bella he knew. This vampire in front of him was cold and uncaring. Did she not understand that Leah was a vital person in his life? He needed her just like Bella once needed him. Just as Jacob opened his mouth his hearing picked up on a distant howl. A howl full of pain and mourning that shook him to his very core.

It was Leah.

"Pull the car over! Damn it pull over now!" Jacob screamed while he threw open the door and leapt out before the car had come to a complete stop. Before Jacob knew what he was doing, he had phased and was running full tilt towards his home.

His tongue lolled out of his mouth as he began to pant.

Leah? If you're here please just tell me.

Jacob waited and listened for any sign of her while he pushed his body faster towards the familiar land.

Leah please. Don't shut me out I need you. I'm sorry.

There was still no answer, only silence. Jacob slid to a complete stop and waited for some sign that Leah was there with him. Jacob heard footsteps behind him and he knew Edward had followed him.

"Stay if that's what you need to do Jacob. I will never expect you to drop everything and come with us." Jacob turned around to meet his eyes before dropping his head in defeat.

She's not coming is she?

"No Jacob, I'm afraid she's not." Edward replied sadly before making his way back to the parked car after leaving a pair of cut-offs on the ground . Jacob sighed before phasing back and following the vampire. He sat back down on the warm leather seat before shutting the door tightly behind him.

"Of the all the ridiculous- really Jacob? Are you finally ready to grow up? Because another stunt like that and I may just throw you out myself. You had Renesmee worried sick. Now let's go." Bella huffed while she crossed her legs. Nessie looked over at Jacob with a pout before turning away from him.

Jacob ignored her angry rambling while the fought the stinging in his eyes and the trembling of his lower lip. Leah didn't come. He had hurt her for the last time. She had given up on him and it was his fault.

He really fucked it up this time.
