Leah's POV
"Daddy please?" I beg Charlie in my best Daddy's little girl voice. Sure I'm 19 but it still works! Sometimes. Not so much when you're trying to convince him to let his other little girl live with her boyfriend when she's 16 and he's 19. Not that he doesn't love Sam, he does.
"Leah no. Sam doesn't even work. He would be living off the team and I don't even like Bella being supported by them."
"But that's not true! Sam helps his mom with the bakery and he has money saved up and in what? 3 months he'll be working with you. He was actually already planning on getting his own place so that when Bella was old enough and ready to move here he'd be ready for her. He loves her and he's probably not even going to want to take any of Phil's or any of their money. Don't you think she would be safer and happier living with Sam than with me or alone." I see his expression change and I know I'm going in the right direction.
"Come on Daddy, you know if she doesn't do it now she's just going to do it as soon as she's old enough. If you LET her do it she might be more forgiving…" I know I have him now.
"Let me discuss it with Mom OK but I still don't like it." And just like that I win! Mom has already said she thinks it's a good idea. Poor Bella needs all the love and support she can get Mom said, and Sam is the best person for that. Then I asked Sam if he would be OK with it and he was of course like hell yes! And his mom thinks it's a wonderful idea. She's just as in love with Bella as Sam is.
Bella is going to be so happy! Hopefully she's not too broken to be fixed. I can hear how miserable she is whenever I talk to her on the phone. She cries a lot but tries to hide it. She's been through so much in the last couple of years with her mom dying and now this.
Sam told me about her kissing Brady and I am so glad he could get over it; I doubt she can handle much more right now. Sam's a good guy and I hope they last.
My mom comes home and I hear them discussing it and there is some yelling and sighing and finally Charlie saying fine! Then storming out of the house.
"Well that went as well as can be expected. I hope this works Leah. I hope Sam doesn't hurt her and I hope this makes her more forgiving towards your dad." Mom tells me and I tell her Sam would never hurt her. Not in a big way anyways, maybe just in your everyday men are stupid ways but her forgiving Dad is a whole other story that I'm not sure has a happy ending.
I text Sam and let him know and also to make sure he has the flight info and he is good to pick her up.
Bella is coming tomorrow with Phil's hot best friend Alex; I'm hoping he comes to visit Bella often. Seth is over the moon happy that's she's coming back and Edward and Jacob are excited too though I'm not really sure why with those two. They obviously have no chance with her. Embry is happy she's coming back because Sam is kind of a jerk without her around.
I'm happy she's coming back because I really like having a sister. I'm usually surrounded by boys and it's nice to have someone not so immature even if she is younger. And maybe I'm happy that Alex is the one bringing her.
