A/N: Sorry this took so long. I've been working my behind off and I'm trying to start school so wish me luck. Leah's POV is kind of short but it was more fluff to get all sides of the story. I have some suprises around the corner. This chapter was suppose to be up yesterday but my account was acting up. Hope you enjoy.

Faceless Moon Chapter 5

Leah's POV

I stepped out of the shower almost feeling like a whole new woman. I wrapped a towel around myself, then headed to my room where my radio started to play Motivation by Kelly Rowland. I turn the radio up, bobbing my head to the beat while walking to my dresser and picking out my pajamas which was merely a pair of boy shorts and a camisole. I then, took the towel out of my hair drying it as much as I can in the process. While the song played, I couldn't help but think back to the first time Jacob and I made love. Not only could I not "feel my legs" but Jake ended up having to carry me back to my house after we made love for 2 days straight in the forest. That was the day he told me he loved me. I shook my head to get rid of the memory that haunted me for so many years and got back to my hair where I applied some hair moisturizer to keep it soft. As the song changed I was startled by my cat, jumping on my dresser. I picked her up and held her in my arms while I walked down stairs to do some last minute cleaning up. I had a long day ahead of me. No one knew this but I'm in medical school. I actually will be taking my last exam tomorrow and if I pass I will be graduating and doing my residency at Forks Regional Hospital. I've put so much into this and somehow I've been able to continue without anyone knowing. Seth doesn't even know and I tell him just about everything. When Jake left I needed something to do in order to keep my mind busy. Jake hurt me worse than Sam ever did and I knew if I didn't do something with myself I wouldn't survive this time. So my decision to go to medical school was a breeze. La Push needed doctors and the fact that most of us were wolves and Carlisle was now in Alaska, we could use a "supernatural" doctor to tend to the broken bones and new coming pups. So I decided I would be that person.

I finished my BA and applied straight to medical school without anyone finding out. It was tough at first. Going to classes in Forks while running a pack, working thirty hours a week to keep up with bills, getting over Jake, keeping an eye on Billy, and making time for Paul has me pretty much worn out. As much as I love Paul, he was more of my release than anything. He helped me escape from the stress of reality and relish in the pleasures of my fantasies. He knows just what to do to set me free. Only thing is my reality, as much as I hate to say, never goes away. So that's why I'm did what I did. I knew that one day I will have to get over all of my hurt and pain and go on with my life. I'm happy to say that I'm just about there.

After cleaning the kitchen and straightening the living room, I head back up stairs to pick out my clothes for tomorrow. I checked the clock to see what time it is.

"10 o' clock!" I need to get to bed, like now. I went to my dresser, grabbed my brush, and brushed my hair one last time before going to bed. As soon as I was done I turned the covers down on my bed getting under the covers in the process. I chuckled as Fluffy, my Persian, jump at the foot of my bed, curled into a ball, and fell asleep. Turning off the radio and lamp, I wasn't too far behind her. As I was falling into a deep sleep I suddenly heard a rattle at my window. I turn to find Paul balancing himself in the tree by my window. Why didn't he just come thru the front door? It's not like he doesn't know where the spare key is.

"It's open." I yelled to him. He pushes the window open and jump through.

"You could have just used the front door you know. Seth isn't here." Seth knew about us and wasn't really pleased.

"Yea I know but I wanted to come in thru the window. Like I use to. You miss me?" He climbs in behind me pulling me to him and wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I saw you earlier today," was my response.

"So…you still didn't answer my question."

"Yes Paul, if that makes you feel better. Now go to sleep. I have to get up in the morning."

"Oh there will be none of that tonight." As soon as those words left his mouth, I was on my back with Paul above me nibbling on my neck. Damn it felt so good.

"P-Paul, babe, I have to get up early tomorrow. I have things to do." I felt him chuckle against my skin as he worked his way down my neck to my breast then to my rock hard nipples. Gosh, he knows how to persuade a girl.

"Trust me, babe. You'll be on time for your test." He stopped then and looked at me through his eyelashes. I could only imagine what was going through his mind right now. Slightly sitting up, I focused on his reaction as he started to kiss down my body again unphased and a bit amused.

"You knew. But how? How come you didn't tell me you knew?"

"The same reason you didn't tell me in the beginning. I figured it was something you needed to do for yourself and when you were ready to tell me, you would." He pushes me back down then continues to play with my navel until finally reaching my sweet spot.

"Uhh…Paul…I-I'm s-sorry I didn't t-tell you. Your right I-I did have to do it myself. P-Please don't be mad." I somehow was able to get all of that out while Paul suck, nibbled, bit, and licked on my bud.

"Mmm…Don't worry, Lee. Mad does nowhere near explain how I feel right know. Proud is more like it. Now shut up so I can show you just how proud I am." He didn't have to tell me twice as I enjoyed this sweet pain.

The next day I woke up to a weird howl outside. Turning over to see Paul was gone, I checked the clock, right on time. What was all the fuss about? I can't possible get to my test on time if I have to check this out. I guess I have to go check it out, ugh! I jumped out of bed, downstairs, and out the back door. As soon as I had the cover of the tree line I phased. Mind link was immediate as I rushed to the howl.

"Ok, what happened this time?" I asked Paul, who I could only feel the rage vibrating out of his mind.

"Seth, imprinted on my sister. I'mma kill him." I laughed.

"Wait-to-go, Seth. Paul, calm down." I commanded him. "It's a good thing. Seth, finally imprinted and I know he will be good to your sister. Isn't that right, Seth."

"Of course, why wouldn't I be? Now can you please tell Paul to get off of me." Seth shouted.

"Paul, get off of Seth and go on your patrol. Seth, go home. I have to go so if you need me you know what to do." With that I ran back home.

"Oh Leah, have you heard from Jake? I haven't heard from him lately. I'm starting to get worried. He usually checks in on us by now." I mentally scowled at Seth for even bring his name up.

"No, Seth I haven't and don't want to…ever. Now I have to go. Congradulations!" I quickly phased out then. I didn't want to think about Jacob. He left us and we are doing fine without him. Maybe, by the grace of god, he decided to stop phasing. Ok, I cannot start thinking about him. I have a big test today and I will not let him ruin my mood. I made it home just in time to get ready. I grabbed my books and did some last minute reviewing while I drove down to the university. Now for the test that will determine my already predicted future.


Jacob POV

"Hello?" I answered my cell for the hundredth time since I hit Canada. I was now in La Push passing the old super market my mom use to drag me to in order to help her with the groceries.

"Hey Jake, have you made it to your dads' yet?" Mason. I should have known. He's called me like 10 times in the past 4 hour asking me the same question. I was alittle annoyed and grateful at the same time.

"No, I haven't made it to my dads' yet but I'm about 10 minutes away. Hows the shop? Has anyone quit yet?" Mason laughed.

"No, not yet. The shop is fine but Nessie came by looking for you. She tired to get me to tell her your location but I pretended I didn't even know you were gone. After about an hour she finally fell for it...I think. The funny thing is...Jake, she didn't seem sad at all. She seemed more mad than anything. Have you talked to her yet?" Mason asked. Hearing him tell me Nessie was looking for me had my blood boiling and my heart slightly aching. I know she's hurt but the imprint was gone between us. She's with Nahuel now. She just needs to forget about us.

"She called me but I didn't answer. Then she texted me saying she needed to tell me something. What ever she has to tell me I don't want to hear nor do I care what it is right now. The only thing I care about at this moment is Leah and getting her to trust me again and getting her back. Thats it." I can feel my anger starting to get the best of me. I refuse to let Nessie's dramatics break my mood right now. I was about to see my dad after 7 years of being gone.

"You don't have to tell me, man. I understand. I just thought about something. What if Leah is at your dad's house? Didn't you tell me she goes and check on him every now and then?"

"Yea I thought about that too. So I called him to see how he was doing and see if anyone was there. No one is right now so thats why I'm rushing to get there now so that won't change. He still doesn't know I'm in town though. I wanted to surprise him. Speaking of surprising him, I'm pulling in now so I have to let you go. Thanks for checking in and being such a great friend, Mason. Maybe oneday you could come and visit?" I asked. My heart is racing now. I'm alittle afraid. What if I go in and my dad rejects me? What am I talking about? Man up, Jake. You can do this.

"Well good luck, man and don't worry about anything up here. I got this. And I just might go and visit. Just tell me when and I'm there. Talk to you later man. Bye." I shut off the car as I hung up with Mason.

Taking a deep breath, I got out of the car grabbing the little present I got for him in Canada and stepped up to the very familiar door. It didn't feel right to just walk in after so long, so I knocked instead knowing deep down inside I would be scolded for it. I could hear his wheelchair roll up to the door as he let out an annoyed huff.

"Who is it?" He asked. Ok that was odd. He usually just let people walk in. I wonder why the change of heart. I didn't answer. He opened the door then and I froze.


A/N: I was going to just have Leah's POV but I thought I would add Jacob's arrival to La Push as a cliff hanger for the next chapter. Hmmm...I wonder why he froze. What will happen next? Chapter 6 up soon. Enjoy.
