Chapter 5: Leah Helps Everest; Jake's Big Announcement.
Leah's POV
I felt tears rush to my eyes i must have heard wrong there was no way that Everest said that she loves me, there is just no way that those words came out of her mouth. Holding back my tears i walked out of her room and rushed over to Jake i probably had the biggest smile on my face because asked me why i was so happy.
"She said that she loved me, Everest said that she loved me!" Jake looked at me like I was crazy.
"Wait Everest said that she loved you!?" Jake asked me in disbelieve, I only nodded my head as tears finally escaped my eyes. "That's great Leah I can't believe maybe she finally has learned to accept you for who you are".
I only smiled as Jake brought me into a tight embrace i was just too happy however part of me had a feeling that this might not last, but that didn't matter for now i was just to happy that she actually said that she loved me. "I'm just too happy you have no idea how happy I am right now I could just…", I acted like i fainted only to have Jake catch me.
"Nope you're not dying on me yet", I didn't respond to Jake yet. "We'll i guess i have no choice i have to give her mouth to mouth". Before i could respond Jake pulled me into a kiss that i was more than happy to return. "Well would you like at that i guess i brought you back to life".
"I guess you did maybe you deserve a reward", I only smirked before I began to lead Jake towards our bedroom. Let just say that we had a very VERY fun night. The next morning when i woke up Jake was gone i looked at my clock and it was 7:45 with a huge yawn i got up and went downstairs. Everest was in the living room watching TV in her pajamas. I hated to do this but i did say that her grounding was only over for yesterday besides we had a lot of work todo. I walked over and grabbed the remote out of her hand and turned it off.
"Hey what was that for!" Everest exclaimed giving me her best glare.
"No TV today Everest remember you have a lot of work to do today", I took the batteries out of the remote and went into the kitchen. "I'll make some breakfast while you get started on some of those missing assignments".
"Why do i have to do school work Jake said that i didn't have to go to school today?" I sighed it was going to be a very long day.
"Everest the only reason why we agreed to this was so you could spend the day catching up on school work", I pulled out a frying pan. "Excuse me!" I heard her mumble something under her breath that sounded an awful look like. "Shut up".
"I didn't say anything to you Leah jeez you're just so…", she broke off her sentence and began to mumble again.
Honestly i was tired of this I never did like when people said things behind my back so i stormed back into the living room, "Everest i want you to look at me right now young lady!'
"What do you want!" she snapped at me.
"What i want you to do is stop being so disrespectful to me you are a child and I am an adult, so now i will not put up with your disrespect do you understand me!" Everest only chuckled.
"Whatever", I walked over to her and firmly but gently grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Everest I don't know who you think you are and i know for a fact that jake raised you better than this but if i have no choice i will call him and let him have a little chat with you understand", Everest only nodded her head and I let go. "I want you to go to your room and get started on your school work".
"Fine!'' Everest stomped back to her room clearly upset about this.
I only rolled my eyes and began to get started on breakfast once I had finished i went to go see if Everest was doing her work. I noticed two things one the binder of her school work was laying outside her room, and two the window was open and Everest was nowhere to be seen. That girl is in so much trouble when i find her.
Everest POV
Listen i'm normally a well believed girl it's Leah that brings this side out of me it's not my fault that she is so annoying. Anyway if you're wondering where i am I currently building a snowman in the backyard, it takes Leah so long to cook there is no way that she'll ever realize that i'm outside. I just love snow there is nothing better than snow but there is only one problem my coat is in my closet and i didn't really thing to bring it with me, But i have my sweater and hat so i should be good.
"EVEREST!" I turned around and saw a very upset looking leah standing in the backdoor.
"What do you want!'' I called back.
"Everest get inside this house right now!'' Once again Leah has to ruin my fun i stomped back inside the house past Leah but she grabbed my arm and dragged me to the bathroom.
"You're going to take a bath it should warm you up", Leah told me.
"I'm not cold Leah", I told her.
"I don't care", Leah walked towards the door, "I want you to take a bath and when you're done put some clothes on we have a lot of work todo".
"Fine", once my bath was done I came out and changed into a pair of jeans and a white T-Shirt, Leah was waiting for me with a book titled History and that stupid binder out here.
"Let's go from now until 10:00 were doing history", I groaned but followed her to the living room.
"What about breakfast?" I asked.
"Since you decided to go outside without permission i've decided that you'll eat at 10:00", I was livid I decided to get up and go make myself a bowl of cereal if Leah wouldn't feed me then i will feed myself. Leah grabbed my arm and pulled me back down, "you're not going anywhere until you finish at least 5 of these assignments".
I groaned but i decided to get to work, "you're just so mean to me", surprisingly history wasn't really that hard i actually finished all my assignments! "See i'm done Leah!'' Leah picked up my work and looked them over one by one.
"I'm impressed Everest you did amazingly well great job", Leah gave me a huge smile and i couldn't help but smile back. "Now i'm going to warm up breakfast while you get started on your math". I got a little nervous math isn't my strong suit.
"Wait Leah!" I stopped her before she left the room, "um can you help me with math please".
"Of course but first you need something to eat", Leah came back with bowl of oatmeal for me.
"Thank you", I said before digging in however i didn't know that it was very hot and ended up burning my tongue. I felt tears rush to my eyes that really REALLY hurt!.
"Everest are you okay!" Leah was imminently by my side.
"Get away from me!" I shouted as tears fell from eyes, but of course Leah was too stubborn to leave me alone She lifted me up onto her lap.
"Let me see Everest", I tried to push her away but Leah refused to let me go. Finally I showed her my tongue, "let's see it doesn't seem to be badly burned does it hurt a lot".
"No shi-", Leah put her hand over my mouth she looked down at me with a stern look on her face.
"What did I say would happen if I caught you swearing again?" I rolled my eyes.
"You said you'd wash my mouth out with soap", Leah only nodded her head.
"That's right and I really really don't wanna do that so please don't swear anymore", Leah told me in a nicer voice. Once I finished my oatmeal we started on the worst subject in the world math, "Everest can you explain to me how you're missing almost 100 math assignments".
"I don't like math so I will never do it", I explained.
"Everest that is not good at all just because…".
"Can we please just get started I don't want another lecture especially not from you!" Leah sighed and we got started first we did the adding and subtracting money first followed by adding and subtracting word problems. Surprisingly they we're all very easy and I was done in 30 minutes I had finished 15 worksheets before Leah decided it was time of long division.
"Alright Everest what exactly don't you understand about long division?"
"Everything about it".
Leah POV…
I could already tell that this wasn't going to be easy to do and sure enough I was right we probably spent 2 hours on this one worksheet and even then she wasn't understanding it. I tried to teach her the easy way but even then she didn't understand how to do it, I was starting to figure out way she wasn't paying attention. Everytime I tried to get her to focus on her work she was either A. looking out the window or B. drawing a picture.
"Everest you need to focus i've thought you 2 different way to do it and shown you how to get the answers on 5 problems. I've gone as slow as I possible can but you still don't get it", she just shrugged her shoulders and went back to her picture. I grabbed the picture she was drawing, "Everest you need to focus!"
"Can we take a break?" Everest asked me.
"No we can't take a break because you have yet to do any work!" I said.
"Don't yell at me!"
"I didn't yell I just raised my voice", I told her.
"That is what you always say!" Everest looked away from me and I sighed. I tried to get her back on track but once again she decided not to listen. "You know what i'm done!"
"What do you mean?" I got up from the table and walked away. "Where are you going Leah you said that you would help me today?"
"Yes I did but it obviously clear that you don't want my help so i'm going to my room to read and I expect that that one worksheet is done when I come back", I walked in me and Jake's room sat down on the bed and started to read. My phone began to ring as 3:30pm.
"Hello Leah speaking".
"Leah yeah it's Jake".
"Hey Jake how it it going today",
"It's going good I just needed to tell you that i'm gonna be home at a little late".
"That's alright Jake I know how busy you are".
"Okay then i'll you when I get back I love you"
"I Love you too".
Jake always did make me smile it was just turning 4 o'clock when I decided to cheek on Everest when I went in the living room she wasn't in the living room. So I put on my coat and went outside I expected to find her far away but no she was sitting on the porch covered in snow. I could see her shoulders shaking so I went to see if she was cold but the closer I got I could hear what sounded like crying. Everest turned around and her eyes were red and puffy.
"Go ahead and say it Leah i was and you were right!" I shook my head and say down next to her. "Go on say i'm stupid go ahead and say it".
"Why would I say that", I wrapped an arm around her.
"Because it's true", she rested her head against my side sniffling all the while.
"No it's not", I stood up and lifted her up into my arms.
"Yes it is", Everest wrapped her arms around my neck and I shivered they we're ice cold. She rested her head against my neck and I felt tears she began to shake in my arms.
We walked back into the house and I placed her on the kitchen counter, "Everest listen to me I want to help you I really really do but if you keep shutting me out then how can I".
Everest looked up at me, "you really do want to help me". I nodded my head and she held her arms out towards me. I gave her another hug before I set her on the ground.
"Now go change out of those cold and wet clothes so we can finally get started", She nodded and changed her clothing. We got started on the worksheet again and she finally got it.
"You did it Everest great job", I praised,
"Thank you Leah", Everest said with a smile, by 7:00 we had finished all of her math assignments I left the room and start on dinner and when I came back she was asleep on the couch.
"Enjoy your nap Everest you deserve it", I was almost finished with dinner when a very tired looking Jake walked in. "Welcome home Jake", I walked over and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"Hey Leah I have huge news where is Everest?" Jake asked.
"Right here", Everest walked in stretching her arms.
"We'll here is the news for the last couple days i've been seeing different people and it's finally official my mountain is being turned into a national park!"
"That's great Jake!" I said with excitement.
"What is an nationally park?" Everest asked.
"Basically a nationally park is a place set aside for animals and plants, it protects places of naturally beauty", I explained.
"I'm also flying out to yellowstone national park to meet with a couple more people", Jake said excitedly.
"Cool i'll go pack my suitcase", Everest started to leave the room when Jake stopped her.
"Hold it Everest i'm afraid you can't come", Everest expression went from happy to sad very quickly.
"Why not?" she asked sadly.
"This isn't a trip to have fun on I have a lot of business today and no one would be able to watch you that is why you're gonna stay here with Leah", I nodded my head, I knew that this was very important to Jake and I knew how busy she was gonna be.
"Wait so I have to stay here with Leah while you get to go to yellowstone!" Everest said a little upset.
"Yes", said Jake.
"That's not fair not fair at all!" Everest stormed out of the kitchen and into her room.
We'll that could have gone better.
