Amazing quote:
For a**holes with girlfriends:
While you're ignoring her,
Another guy is giving her attention.
While you're giving her problems,
Another guy is listening.
While you're too busy for her,
Another guy is making time for her.
While you're making her cry,
Another guy is making her smile again,
When you're not sure if you want her,
Another guy has already figured it out.

I'm getting fixed?
Am I broken?
Chapter 3 The next day
(Leah's POV)
I sat on the couch in Sam's house with Paul and Embry on either side of me. We were having a pack meeting today. I was not happy. I had to cancel my lunch date with Lucas for this. But I probably canceled anyway, to go stay with Molly. She must have been really hurt from what Bella had said. I'd never heard Molly say anything mean about anyone, heck I don't think she even had a mean bone in her body, she was that nice. At shopping malls, people would screw up and waste our time but she just laughed, smiled and said it was fine. There were people that went in front of her in line and she didn't say anything. Once a baby had dropped a toy and instead of walking on, she ran over, picked it up and gave it back to the mother. We saw a pregnant woman trying to reach something on the bottom shelf, and Molly ran over and got it for her. She was selfless. She never complained, nor whined. Yet she was brave. She spoke up when something wasn't right. And she wasn't afraid to say something even if it was the same as someone else's. I couldn't understand why Jacob wanted Bella. I'd shown him what happened and he had just said 'she was having a bad day.' I though any guy would be happy to have her. That might be why Paul liked her. He was now her best friend. He hadn't phased in anger since he met her. And he hadn't slept with anyone either. She changed him and for the better. He was nicer to people, wasn't as rude and cared. We all noticed. It was amazing. Seth wanted to meet her. I had said, that I would bring him the next time I went over. Which would be tonight. I had been shocked when Lucas told me there was a bedroom there with my name on it. He said I could stay whenever I wanted. Molly had already put the stuff I bought in there and decorated it. Lucas dad admitted that he'd rather me stay in his room, but my parents wouldn't approve of it. It was a massive house. I'd asked Lucas one day why, and he'd told me his parents got 50% of every ones tax dollars in North America. And his father had won the lottery and pasted it down to his children when he died. He had died when Lucas 3 years old in the military. His mother had been turn into a vampire when he was 5. She had attacked Molly and they'd killed her after knowing Molly was okay. Lucas explained why he wore a necklace every day with a plain stone in it. He explained the whole gift thing to me. I of course wanted to see, and found out his gift didn't work on me. Because I was his true mate. I smiled at the thought.
"Now I won't even say anything to you Paul, except I'm disappointed." Sam said, in his alpha voice.
"I didn't do anything wrong. We kissed, yes. I've taken her out on dates before. I didn't harm her." He snapped back.
A low growl started on the other side of the couch. Jacob.
"You don't want her, remember. You can't have her and Bella. She loves you, you know. And you won't even give her the time of day. And then if she wants to have a relationship with someone cause you haven't opened your eyes to see what's in front of you, you get all pissed off. I haven't done anything wrong except make her happy." He snapped at Jake.
"But she's my imprint. She's my responsibility." He snapped back.
"You won't even give her the time of day. She thinks you hate her. And by the way you act, it's like she's a vamp or something."
"I never wanted to imprint. I want Bella. Sure she might have been a bit snappy the other day but-"
I cut him out. Furious.
"A little bit? Molly went home in tears, hating herself. Lucas told me the last time she phased without control was when she was 12! She thinks she did something. The girl is one of the nicest and happiest people I know! Jacob, you keep breaking her, and she won't repair one time. And she'll be broken, used and hurt!" I spat at him.
"Leah sit down!" Sam yelled at me.
"No. He treats her like crap and I'm sick of it. I see her every day and she asks me if he's okay. She cares and he uses her!" I spat back at him.
Jacob looked at me.
"She asks about me every day?" He asked, quietly.
"Yes!" I snapped.
"Leah, stop." Sam ordered.
But it was my imprints little sister and my best friend.
"No."
The packs eyes widened, looking at me.
"What?" Sam asked, shocked.
"I said, no. I'm leaving. You let Molly be hurt every day and you don't care."
"If this is about you and I, put it aside. Jacob will figure it out."
"No he won't. He wants Bella. She's with the Leech. If it was her or Bella, he'd pick Bella, and Bella would pick the vamp."
"Shut up, Leah. You know nothing." Jacob snapped.
"Really? I don't? I see her close to every morning hugging her pillow, half the time with dry tears. I see her trying not to think about you when anyone says La Push!"
"What?" He asked, breathless and shocked.
"Leah, stop." Sam snapped at me. I was done. He treated me horribly for too long.
"You know what? No. You won't do anything and I leave. What's your choice, Sam? I leave or you do something."
"Leah-"
"Wow. You must really hate her. I'm done."
"Leah, I can't force-"
I spun around and walked out. Sam shouted at me to come back, but I kept walking.
I phased and ran to Lucas's house. I got to the living room before Lucas embraced me. I was crying. He whispered sweet nothings in my ear until I calmed down enough.
"What's wrong Lee-Lee?" He asked softly.
"Jacob was whining and I got mad. I started telling him about Molly and Sam stepped in. I told him to do something or I'd leave. And he didn't do anything, so I left."
"You are amazing, you know that, right? Thank you, I can't believe you did that." He spoke quietly to me.
I looked at him, smiling.
He smiled at me and dipped him head closer to mine.
His lips brushed against mine softly. I felt sparks. It wasn't like any kiss I'd ever had. It was soft and gentle yet fierce and hard. I wanted this moment to last forever. He pulled back, and looked at me, worried. Was he worried I wouldn't like it? I smiled softly at him. His smile grew bigger and he hugged me. I was in heaven.
(Molly's POV)
I was in hell. The ache in my chest hurt more than normal. Was Jacob hurt? Was he sick? Stop. He doesn't care about you. Today I was going shopping with Leah, I think it's a weekly thing for us. I slowly walked down stairs. I stopped when I saw the La Push pack in the living room. They looked up at me. Jacob was there with an open seat next to him, but I don't think he'd want me to sit there. I wondered where Bella was today.
I sat down next to Paul and he smiled at me before pulling something out behind his back. It was a Charlie Brown comic book. I squeaked and leapt up, grabbing it from him. I sat down and started reading. The guys were looking at me weird. Lucas laughed and explained to them.
"She loves the Charlie Brown books, she has like over 200 of them."
After I finished I started listening to the conversation. Leah asked me now that I was done.
"Are we still going shopping?"
Um, yah.
"Ya I just have to go eat."
Paul looked at me.
"You're going in that?" He asked, looking at me pj's.
"Is there something wrong with what I'm wearing?" I asked.
He looked at me to see if I was serious.
"You're going shopping in your pyjamas?"
I sighed.
"No. I'll change after I eat."
He nodded as I got up to go to the kitchen.
"My mom didn't give me breakfast this morning because she thought I was eating too much. The werewolf eating thing sucks." Embry complained.
I turned to look at him.
"Do you want me to make you breakfast?" I asked.
He looked at me wide eyed.
"You're willing to make me breakfast?"
"Ya, I cook for Paul and Leah every morning."
He stared at Paul.
"You've been hiding her from us, Paul."
Paul chuckled and said.
"I know. She's our chef."
Suddenly a blue jay appeared at the window.
"Hey, look there's a blue jay at the window. I think he likes us." I said, looking out the window.
"Oh, wait- never mind, he just pooped." I said
Paul snorted.
"You have a very odd mind, my friend."
I smirked.
"Watch it Paul. Or you won't get breakfast."
Paul's eyes widened and I laughed.
"I'm coming. I'm coming. Please, please, please don't." He begged.
I turned and walked to the kitchen with every one following me.
Paul and Embry sat down on the stools at the island, while Leah sat, tucked into Lucas's side. I smiled at them.
I started to fry eggs, bacon and on another flying pan, pancakes.
Ben came to the kitchen, just woken up with his hair messy.
He sat down beside Embry and the island.
"You're up late." Lucas noted.
"Yeah, well, I had patrol at 12 last night."
"Then why aren't you still in bed?" Leah asked.
"I smelt food."
I grabbed 6 plates and stacked them with food.
I gave everyone their breakfast before sitting beside Paul and starting to eat.
The boys made conversation while we ate, but I didn't say anything.
Why were they here?
Did Jake still hate me?
Was he still with Bella?
I didn't know. I'll have to ask Leah latter.
"Ben, you going into town?" I asked. He looked up and nodded.
"Can you get 3 cartons of eggs, orange juice, icing sugar and bread?"
"Ya, what you making?" He asked.
"Cake."
"Awesome. What you doing today?"
"Shopping." I got up and put my dishes in the dishwasher. I got changed and went back down stairs. Out of the corner of me eye, I saw Jacob looking at me. He probably wanted me to apologise to Bella for- for what? Who knows?
Leah looked at me and asked.
"You ready?"
"Yup." I said, popping the p.
We said goodbye to the boys and left. As soon as we were in the car and driving I asked how he was.
Leah sighed and looked at me.
"We got into an argument last night."
"What is he-are you okay?" I asked worried for her.
"I left the pack."
"WHAT?" I exploded.
"I left because Sam wouldn't do anything. He sat there and harped on Paul for kissing you, not Jacob for treating like dirt."
"He didn't treat-"
"Yes he did. But I left."
I was silent.
"I'm a lone wolf."
"No. You're a part of my pack now. They don't know what they gave up." I snapped fiercely. My mother wolf was kicking in.
"Do you think they'll accept me?"
"They guy accepted you into the pack the day after Lucas imprinted."
"Really?"
"Yes."
When we got back both packs and the La Push elders were sitting in the living room. Leah ran to Lucas's side and he tucked her into his side. I walked over to Paul and sat down beside him. Bella was sitting beside Jacob and I released a low growl only Paul could hear. Paul looked down at me and raped an arm around me.
Billy spoke.
"We had come to retrieve one of the La Push wolves. Leah Clearwater."
Both me and Lucas spoke.
"No."
Billy looked at us.
"It's not really an option."
I leapt to my feet and snapped.
"Like hell. She's in our pack now. You guys hurt her and didn't take her seriously."
"No, she's not." Sam said.
"We'll fight for her. We have at least 6 times the amount of wolves. You wouldn't be smart to do that."
"You would hurt your own imprint." Sam said.
"Then maybe the bond will break and I'll be free to love who ever I want." I spat.
He looked shocked.
"We could have help of many vampires."
"And what's your point? You're weak? I already knew that! Our pack is strong and will crush yours." I snapped.
"You'll hurt Paul."
I froze. Growls started from my pack. I looked back at Paul.
Jacob growled.
I turned back to Sam.
"He can make his own choices."
"I would fight with them." Paul said, from behind me.
"You would betray your own pack?" Sam asked.
"If you won't let us make our own choices then I will."
Sam growled.
"I see your loyalty is weak."
"It might be to an alpha that's not the real alpha."
Billy spoke.
"The real alpha is not in power now because he doesn't have the experience."
I snorted.
"That's stupid."
Sam looked at me.
"The real alpha is Jacob."
I froze.
He smirked and said.
"That's what I thought."
I started to shake.
"Yes, and I wish I had never imprinted!" I snapped.
Billy gasped.
"Is that really true?" He asked.
"Yes! I'm in pain every day and I want to be free! I want options!" I snapped.
I spun around and ran outside, phasing as soon as I got out of the house.
I hated not being free.
I hated Bella.
Jacob hated me.
I hated Jacob for putting me through this.
He hated me.
He hated me.
And I hated me for being so weak.
(Lucas's POV)
My little sister was always a calm wolf. Jacob had changed her. She was sad, she phased in anger, which she hadn't done since she was 12. And I hated Him for it.
I stud and snapped at Jacob.
"My sister gets insulted by your alpha and you say nothing. You're a horrible imprint. My sister hasn't phased in anger sine she was 12!"
He looked at me and asked.
"How old is she now?"
"You don't even know your imprints age?!"
He looked down at his hands.
"She's 15." Paul said.
Jacob looked up, shocked.
"She's not 17?"
"No, is that why you didn't want her? She was too old? Well, she's younger than you. What, now you don't want her because she's too young. You're a disappointment to your last name, Black!" Paul spat.
Jacob started trembling.
Billy shouted.
"We came here to talk about Leah."
Ben snapped.
"She's not screaming bloody murder, is she? She can make her own choices. My sisters hurt and wants to break her imprint. She wants to break it, no matter what. You've caused my sister and our alpha female pain. And I'm sick of it. Get out of our house!" He yelled at them.
Billy said, gently.
"Now, we can-"
"I DON'T CARE! I SAID GET OUT!" He yelled, shaking.
(Molly's POV)
I don't understand.
What did I ever do to deserve this pain?
My chest felt like it would split open.
My heart felt heavy.
My heart rattled in my empty chest.
I felt empty.
I felt nothing.
Was I even anything to anyone?
Would they care if I was gone?
Lucas had Leah and they would be fine.
Ben and Paul would imprint and be fine after a while.
And there was no one else.
The pack would get over me after a while. Leah would become the alpha female.
And I?
I had no reason for living.
Jacob hated me any way, and would end up with Bella. Edward would be hurt and find a new mate.
And I couldn't stay and watch them be happy every day. It would be worse than Leah, Sam and Emily. Leah hadn't imprinted on Sam. And if I knew Bella, she would rub it in. Hard.
She'd kiss him right in front of me and everything.
There would be a new definition of hell.
Then again I doubt it could get any worse.
Jacob wouldn't care if I died.
Would anybody?
Maybe I had cheated death when my mother tried to kill me.
Should I be dead?
Would I have another chance and love?
(Lucas's POV)
"We will fight." Sam had said before he left.
My Leah looked so heart broken. She looked like she was going to cry. I would kill Sam and Jacob. Sam had hurt my Lee-Lee. He would pay. And Jacob had and still was putting my little poor Cheetah through hell. She was hurt now and when I tried to help she broke even more. She was breaking and I couldn't do anything. I could only watch her get worse and worse. And my Leah was now hurting too.
"Shh, shhh. It's not your fault. Sam is an a**hole. He will not win." I whispered to her.
"I-I- I don't want my brother hurt. And Molly won't forgive you if you hurt Jacob."
"They won't. We can hold them down or I will fight Sam one of one."
"He'll kill you, Luke."
"Have faith, Leah. I am a real alpha."
"I don't think he'll do that."
"He can't back down from a challenge."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. My Leah I only just found you, I'm don't giving you up now."
"You're amazing, you know that?"
"You're the amazing one. You're smart, funny and you understand me. You're beautiful and you don't even know it and that's one of the reasons I love you." I confessed, afraid she would leave me.
"You love me?" She asked, breathless.
"I love you and you don't have to say it back but I love you." I said.
She kissed me and pulled back moments later.
"I love you, too." She whispered.
My heart exploded with happiness.
We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello, "
Little did I know...
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'"
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, oh.
'Cause you were Romeo – I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet."
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you, "Please don't go."
And I said...
"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'
Romeo, save me, they try to tell me how to feel.
This love is difficult but it's real.
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess.
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'"
Oh, oh.
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...
"Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think."
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...
"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad – go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'"
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you...
