I do not own Twilight it belongs to the talented Stephanie Meyer
I do own Linda though :)
Blindside
Leah
Leah ran like crazy.
Her mind blank with shock, the memory of what just happened playing over, and over in her mind.
Her body felt heavy, and her mind dull and stupid.
Leah Clearwater felt blindsided.
Leah was in shock.
Her body began to slow, as her flight or fight instinct, that her shock activated died out.
In doing so Jacob, and Seth were able to catch up.
Seth thoughts bubbling with joy and excitement.
Leah this is amazing! You imprinted, your amazing you know that the first female wolf and now you imprinted! You know that was rude of you, I think you really worried Issac. Come on, let's head back and you can talk to him.
Shut up Seth!
Why did you two follow me anyway I left for a reason!
Leah I know this came as a shock, none of us thought you would imprint. Least of all you. But you did and we need to talk about it. Phase back it'll be easier that way.
Fine!
Leah didn't have the temperament to fight with them.
They phased back, Jacob and Seth far enough away to respect Leah's privacy.
They met in the middle, Jacob wearing cut off jean shorts.
He must've sent Seth off, Leah was grateful.
Leah basketball shorts, and a sports bra.
''Leah.'' Jacob called to her, like she was an animal, that would bolt any second.
Leah scoffed, raised her right eyebrow, and said in the same tone he did.
''Jacob?''
Jacob sighed, and ran a hand through his hair.
''Talk to me Leah. I mean I'm not anywhere near as optimistic as Seth but I thought you'd be a little happier than this.''
It was Leah's turn to sigh.
''I am. I think.''
''You think?''
''I….. this just doesn't make any sense Jacob! Like at all. Why the hell would I ever imprint? I'm a genetic dead-end and a volatile werewolf! I mean what is this? Did the fates decide ''Hey it's been kind of boring lately. Let's go screw with Leah Clearwater's life again.'' I mean what the fucking hell…..''
Leah trailed off in a huff.
''Ok.'' said Jacob
There was silence for a while, if you didn't count Leah's trampling the ground as she paced.
''Leah, we don't know if you're a genetic dead-end, you could-''
Leah stopped pacing and stood up stick straight.
''We don't know if I'm a genetic dead-end?'' her voice was quiet and cutting and effectively quieted Jacob.
And Jacob knew he did not say the right thing at all.
''I don't get my period, you know, sometimes I wonder if the reason I'm a wolf and don't get my period anymore is maybe... Maybe because, I have an unnaturally high testosterone level or something. Or maybe I was born with two genitals, and my parents had to pick one and chose the wrong one. Because this, what I am. Is unnatural Jacob. I'm a freak among freaks, and I've accepted it. I figure I help here, and take everything day by day. I thought who knows, maybe I'll leave one day, when you guys don't need me anymore. Or maybe if you left with the Cullens one day, I'd leave with you. Maybe when I left, I could pretend to be normal and find someone normal. Someone who wouldn't leave because ''reasons,'' and then turn out to be a werewolf. That I could be free. But now everything's changed and the center of my universe is a mischievous curly haired boy.'' Leah said in the beginning sounded self-deprecating, the middle tired and defeated, the end resigned and when she mentioned her imprint fond.
''Leah, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that, and none of us think you're a freak. I don't have answers for you. But I'm here for you, we all are. But you can't ignore your imprint it will hurt the both of you. He was worried about you, you know? Asked if you were ok?''
Leah despite herself relaxed as he spoke and perked up at the mention of her imprint.
Jacob knowing her well, answered her unasked question.
''Yeah, he did Leah.''
''Thanks Jacob.''
''Don't worry about it.''
Sorry I took long and it's kind of short….
I just felt like if I added more it would end weird.
Nah just messing with you, you did get a bit of a time skip and a switched POV though.
Linda
After the bonfire, Isaac was really distracted and seemed withdrawn.
Joshua noticed it too then again, he probably noticed it before she did.
Linda felt bad, so she called the boys up to her room, and they watched netflix on her laptop that way their parents would never know.
She thinks it helped a little.
Or she hoped.
She loved Isaac and Joshua, she was the middle child, between energetic Danny and mischievous 'Lena.
If it wasn't for Isaac and Joshua she'd probably be lonely.
Embry invited her to meet some family friends of his the Cullens, the following weekend.
This time without the twins prompting, she asked if they could go on her own accord.
Still a little worried, about Isaac.
Embry God bless him was all for it, saying Jacob, Seth, Quill and Leah would probably be there too.
Isaac's eyes lit up mischievously, and Linda incorrectly guessed, that it was because he wanted to plan pranks with Quill and Seth.
The time came for them to go, it was a bit of a drive and they had to use Linda's phone's GPS.
But when they got to the house it was massive and beautiful.
Linda as she said was brain-washed by the all the hgtv shows her mom watched.
Took note of the architectural design as well as the decor.
She and her siblings had actually done some diy stuff at her family home for themselves and their mom.
Linda was fairly efficient with power tools.
When they knocked on the door it was opened, by a girl that made Linda's mind scream.
Pixie!
She then she heard someone laughing, but whatever.
''Hi I'm Alice Cullen and it's so nice to meet you! I love your peacoat!''
And the next thing she knew she was pulled into a gentle hug, like Alice was afraid to break her.
Not that Linda wasn't used to that, there were only four people who she knew you actually gave her strong hugs.
Her mom.
Her dad.
Danny.
and 'Lena.
Everyone else always said they felt like they would break her, with how tiny and small she was.
She didn't realize what they meant, until she met someone with a similar build to her, who was younger than her and therefore smaller.
And then she was kind of like ''OH.''
The next person she met, made her instantly relax.
''Alice let her go. Hello I'm Esme welcome to our home.''
Thank-you Esme.
Linda usually gave people hello and good-bye hugs but Alice made her feel ambushed.
''It's nice to meet you Esme, you house is very beautiful.''
Linda extended her hand for a handshake but recieved a hug instead.
Is everyone in this family a hugger.
Esme introduced Linda to her husband Carlisle, who did not hug her, thankfully.
Allowing Linda to get her bearings.
Alice dragged her to be introduced to her fiancee, Jasper.
Who Linda instantly like he just had a calmness about.
She smiled genuinely and told him it was nice to meet him.
Apparently he was from texas too.
Linda wondered where, in fort worth, she never met anyone with an actual southern drawl.
It made her want to laugh, he fitted the stereotype of a southern gentleman way too well.
Why 'Lena and her, had realized long ago that all of their Tias and girl cousins dressed like cholas* when they were in high school.
Linda and 'Lena hadn't, but a lot of them lived on the Northside and a lot of there friends did.
She had to tell 'Lena about him.
She then met Emmett, who joked how she was shorter than Alice and Linda just sighed and said she was shorter than a lot of people.
She met Rosalie, who at first made her feel a bit self-consciences.
Before she was like screw that, she would never care enough about how she looked to put in that much effort.
Instead it made her smile and think about how her mom always wanted her and Lena to have long hair and look their best.
Lena kept her hair short like Linda but was better at makeup than Linda was.
She then met Bella, Edward and Nessie.
They were really nice, Bella seemed a bit shy.
But that was ok, Linda was sometimes too.
Nessie and her had to be broken out of conversations of books.
Embry, Jacob, Seth and Quill showed up a little bit after the whirlwind of introduction.
Linda hadn't even noticed Leah wasn't there till' Isaac brought it up.
Sorry that you didn't get to see the interaction between the twins and the Cullens. I might do that next chapter, again I apologize for taking longer than usual. Hoped you liked it though.
Oh by the way chola basically means girl gangster in spanizh as opposed to cholo which would be guy gangster.
The chola look is usually dark make-up and shaved off eyebrows. My own Tias and girl cousins, some not all in highschool, did their make-up very chola, but kept their eyebrows. There's also the way chola's do their hair, I don't know how to explain it. You can google it, but sometimes the pictures are a little exaggerated.
