Chapter 2
"...Here it goes again, Put on that deserving tone and don't forget that this was all your fault. It's breathing down your neck, you know you've got to let this go. You're such a wreck and now it starts to show. Cause all you can't deny
is held inside And when we go, we say goodbye, and then we run, We run away. From all we can't deny is just a lie. And when we try to just get by We just can't get past ourselves..." -"Matter of Time" by Cartel
I arrived at Leah's shortly already hard and the thought of our inevitable upcoming rough sex. Her house was empty besides her. I expected it to be at least minisculy akward but it felt casual as I walked in and plopped next to her on the couch as she blankly watched TV.
"My life sucks." she admited blandly.
"I know, so does mine," I agreed. We had the weirest understanding of each other, our situations were really very alike but yet we fought so much and she mad me so mad sometimes.
"So who did what?" I asked.
"Does it matter?" She snapped.
"Maybe..." I said almost questioned.
"Seth just can't understand why I do the things I do, Emily acts like I should be over Sam and like Its all my falt even whan she tries not to. I don't actually like my friends and are all so stupid. Mom thinks that i've been stupid about evreything and thinks that I should natural be doing great @ school even though I don't care and I miss half for the pack and skip the rest. My life makes no sense. My mind makes no sense." She bust out.
"Leah! These people are your family! They love you and the thing is they kinda have a right to be mad your a total bitch! you don't let anyone in!" I screamed at her. She looked shocked and actually upset. I almost wanted to take back the things I said, almost.
"Jake... I'm trying to let you in..." she murmured. It stug. I felt bad. For once, I felt bad. Like I was the bitch not her. Like maybe, I should stop. Stop being so heartless.
"Leah...I'm, Leah...sorry." I mummbled with my thoughts in a disaray.
"It's okay. You shouldn't be." She replied.
"I kind of get you. I won't say that I know what your going through because I don't ,but Its different for us. The pack just had it so easy. Most of them were forcefully pulled into love that isnt really love even though they think its great. In love you have a choice. Sam choose Emily. Bella choose that filthy bloodsucker. We just are different. We don't have that and we are not going to get that." I said trying to explain my thoughts.
"Jake, you were right, I'm a bitch and I hate my family for nothing. Your right, but Why? Why are you always right? Its stupid, you shouldn't be right, your logic shouldn't make sense to me when it makes sense to no one else, but it does." Leah growled, "I hate it."
"I hate it too. I hate how it feels good to fuck you, to hurt you. I let out all my anger. It works and we use each other, but it works. In the end we both feel better." I said leaning back against the couch but still staring at her face.
"I know. It helps and what helps us is all that matters." Leah agreed. She sounded selfcented and bitchy but...she was right. So right, but I said it anyways.
"Wow, bitch much?"
"Shut the fuck up!" she said glaring at me like she always did.
"Make me." I teased. It worked. She crashed on top of me, her mouth smashing in to mine. I tore parts the peices of her clothes off as she ripped apart mine. We tumbled to the floor and her head made a giant crack on the coffee table, sending thick shards of glass to the floor beneath us. The shards dug into her back and my hand making her buck her back and exhale in to my mouth sharply. I breathed in her hot breath and felt the burn of our skin engulf us. I smashed her hard against the wall slowly pulling her up it with me. Her heavy burning breath was so hot it stung. Her legs twisted tightly around my hips and I pressed her harder against the wall smashing her closer to me. Her nails dug down my back like before and I groaned in satisfaction.
Leah's POV...
I leaned over Jake to grab the ringing reciever off my bedside table.
"Hello." I said breathlessly into the phone.
"Hey Lee, It's Emily, Umm..." Ugh, I should have known Sam would tell her, "I just wanted to talk to you about something." I knew what that something was, in fact I was in the process of doing it and I really didn't want to stop and talk about it. Especially with Emily. Jake groaned hearing her voice, knowing that I was probaly going to get my ass up and walk to Sam and Emily's house to talk to her in person rathre than on the phone.
"Sure, I'll come over, just one second.." I said then sighed. Jake grabbed the phone from me and I wacked him over the head while protesting. I was almost afraid of what he might say to Emily ,but he didn't put his mouth to the phone instead he covered it with his hand, muffling it.
"Leah, listen to me, Emily just wants to see if your alright. Be nice!" Jake said, emphisizing nice. I glared at him for a moment, how did he know she wastn't just going to bitch at me?
"Just do it. Trust me." He said and winked as he got up and pulled his black sweat pants on. I sighed and he shook his head and loped out the door as he shouted one last thing to me.
"See you soon."
"Whatever." I mumbled but I was almost sure he didn't hear me. I rolled out of my bed and trugged to my bathroom. I turned on my shower twisting only the cold water nob. My temperature still haden't wavered and I needed it to get lower, closer to our ''normal'' temperature. I pulled back the curtain and stepped in feeling the freezing rush of water glide over me. The sudden short burst of steam as the opposite temperatures touched was something I'd witnesses earlier whan Jake and I had tried to cool off so it didn't surprise me. I untangled my hair and rubbed in some shampoo and conditioner roboticly as the water started to undo the knots in my back and soothe my bruised skin. The purple imprints of Jake's powerful hands had already faded alot and the bit marks running up and down my body were just soft pink imprints. When I was done I took long than I had ever taken to get ready not wanting to hury to Emily's. I blowdried my long hair that when almost down to my waist then I straighted the flippy ends. I didn't bother with any make up besides some eye liner as usual because my thick dark eye lashes stood didn't need any mascara and my perfect copper skin was in no need of foundation.
Finaly I biked over to Emily's nervously. Hopefully Sam wasn't there but Emily probaly relized I wouldn't reveal anything with him there. I might as well get iit over with I thought to myself as I jumped the porch steps two at a time. Emily opened the door and half smiled so I plastered on a matching fake smile.
"Hey," Emily said as we sat down in the breakfest noke, "Ummm, I just wanted to... see you." she said lying, wanting to ease into the subject of Jacob.
"Um, okay." I said akwardly when took a bite of an apple from the counter filling my mouth so she would have to do the talking. She obviously haden't inticipated this and she paused akwardly. I remmembered how close we had been, before we had never been akward, she was like the sister I didn't have, but that was before Sam imprinted on her. That was before he broke every promise he'd ever made me.
"I'm sorry, I just really want to talk to you, you never tell me anything anymore." she said sudenly.
"I wonder why?" I said meanly silencing her. Jake had told me to be nice and I definently wasn't being anywere close to it. So, I forced myself to do something I normaly would never do.
"I'm sorry Emily, I really am. I don't know why I'm such a bitch." I apoligised.
"Leah, your not a bitch! Some times your life sucks so bad that you just have no other choice but to act like one." Emily said.
"Thank you, Emily, but could you get to the point of this visit?" I said cooly.
"Ummm, okay, so you and Jacob?" she started clearly confused at the idea.
"Yes, Emily I am fucking Jake, and?"
"Well, you two arn't exactly best buds, well, it really seems like you hate each other I don't see how this... relationship helps either of you." Emily said finaly making her point.
"I don't hate Jake, it just that, we fight alot becausue there is ALWAYS something to fight about. Both of our lives suck and we kind of have the same situation going on." I told her. Maybe this would help, I thought. Telling someone other that Jake and Seth how I feel.
"Situation?" Emily said. I couldn't belive it, she seriously didn't get it, she seriously didn't think her little fairytale happily ever after was part of my big problem. Bitch.
"Emily! Ah, situation??? Hello!?!?!? Neither of the people we love choose us! Bella choose that leach and Sam? Sam picked you! The one person who was like my f-in sister!" I screached, shaking all over threatening to break something. I have to get out, out of here. Maybe to Jake....
"Leah!!! Come back! I wasn't thinking! I didn't think you meant that! I'm sorrry just...please!" Emily screamed after me as I rushed out the door. My feet lead me straight into the trees, but also right into Jacob's huge chest. I plummled onto my back and Jake pulled me back up and started hissing at me before I could ask why he was there.
"Leah, go back! Talk to her! She made a mistake and you flipped out! Apologise again and talk to her. Tell her things...tell her the things you can't tell me." Jake said holding me at arms length peering into my eyes.
"Why? She dosen't deserve my effort." I said and shrugged him off.
"And you think I do? She deserves more from you than I do, she loves you...like a sister. Go back, please." Jake said almost begging toward the end.
"Fine." I said then turned and stomped off in the opposite direction of Sam and Emily's house.
Jake's POV
Her pouted lips hufed as she stomped away and I couldn't help chuckling at her childlike annoyance. She was so ammusing when mad. So cute.
