LEAH'S POV

I looked out to the horizon, watching the sun slowly set. I leaned my head back as I felt the water mist and the cool breeze blow in my hair. I sighed in content. This was the only place where I went to escape my pain. Those long months of Sam, my father's death and my menopausal status, this was where I came to escape. Everything looked so peaceful. Sitting on the cliff reminded me of my old-life, where everything had been simple. I was happy then. But that felt like another lifetime.

My life began to change drastically when Sam left me for Emily. My heart was torn as I lost my reasons for living. I began to act like a bitch. I hated that they pitied me. Pitied me because of what sam did. But I didn't take it. I will not be pitied! Day by day, I slowly lose the strength to move, to eat, to sleep, to talk, everything- shielding away from everyone. I spent my nights crying over him. This kept going for a course of two weeks when I collapsed. My brother, Seth was told to bring me dinner when he discovered me on the floor, barely with a heartbeat. My parents rushed me to the hospital and I was told that I collapsed from stress and the lack of nutrients. My family monitored my eating habits for 3 weeks and I was very annoying. My brother approached me in tears one day. He made me promise to never do that again and asked me to tell him what happened. I told him about the break up and how she left for Emily. Seth comforted me since ever and he took care of me since. I love Seth.

Things began to get real shitty when I was in an argument with my father. He was upset, no disappointed that I was acting this way. He told me to forget about Sam and that it was for the best. I was furious and I started screaming at him. Next thing I know, I was a wolf and my dad got a heart attack. Its all my fault! Why does God hate me? And it's bad enough that Sam is my Alpha and I could hear every single one of his thoughts. There was no privacy when you're a wolf. Every thought was out in the open. They all pitied me, I knew it.

I shook my head from my thoughts. I missed my old life. Being able to do whatever you want without worry, being able to wear clothes without having them shredded, able to go to school, and hanging out with friends. I missed that! All I ever do now is patrol, phase, rip a dress, phrase, rip a dress, eat, barely sleep, phrase, rip a dress.

My thoughts were interrupted by a sad, angst howl. I recognized it. It was Jacob! I quickly took off my dress, tied them to my leather cord, and phased. I ran looking for him. I was worried. Jacob was one of the people that I actually like. He was different from the others. He doesn't join in when the pack is making fun of me. And he actually cared. A nice guy like him doesn't deserve to have this heart broken. Poor guy fell in love with Bella Swan, but refuses to acknowledge that she loves the vampire. Stupid girl, she was blind to see that Jacob was such the better option and it pained me to see that she kept hurting him. I ran faster when I saw him. I had to make sure that he was okay. He doesn't need to become a harpy like me. He deserves so much more. I caught up to him and I started to speak.

JAKE POV

My head was pounding was I ran through the forest. I needed to get out of her! I don't understand why Bella couldn't love me. I felt my heart shatter when she went back to his arms. Dodging the trees, I headed towards the La Push border. I need space to think. All a sudden, I was joined by a small, grey wolf. Leah...

"Jake, forget about her! She isn't worth it", I scowled at the voice.

"Leah, just leave me alone", I hissed and I sped up. She continues to follow me. I knew it was useless to keep running, so I slowed down to a stop. Leah took the opportunity and jumped in front of me.

"Jake, don't do this. She doesn't deserve you. Think about how much you had done for her and what did she do for you? She broke your heart and treated you like trash. How can you still love her? The leech came back and she went crawling back to him. She didn't even stop to think how hurt you would be. All she did was use you. GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL!!!! You don't need to be in pain." She said exasperatedly. She nuzzled my flank. WHAT THE HELL?!?!? Since when did Leah become nice. "Very funny, Jacob" she muttered. She was starting to scare me. I inched away from her.

"Who are you and what did you do to Leah?" I asked her. She looked offended and lowered her glaze.

"I can't be nice and support you", she retorted. I stared at her. Her green eyes were filled with hurt and concern. I felt bad for doing that to her.

"I'm sorry, Lee-lee." She flinched at the sound of her old nickname and shook her head.

"I don't want you to be miserable like me. Sam was my everything and I loved him so much. When he went missing, it was like I lost my reason for living. I cried myself to sleep every night, hoping that he would come back. After a few weeks, he returned but he was different. He was taller, more muscular, and his long hair was cropped short. But every time we spoke or touched each other, I couldn't help but feel that he was reluctant about everything. He was too careful about me and it was worrying me. So and I asked him about it. He refused to answer. Then, Emily came to the reservation and Sam and her immediately clicked. Sam looked at her like a blind man seeing the sun for the first time. One night, he came to my house and said that we could he together anymore and that there was someone else. And I knew that it was Emily. My cousin... " her voice broke off and that was the first time she revealed her true self to me. Underneath the cold facade that she always wore for her family and the pack, was a broken girl that was dying inside. I never realized how hurt Leah must have been. First bring left by her boyfriend, losing her father, and then becoming the first female wolf. Her secrets were then exposed to everyone in the pack. I didn't know what to do to comfort her. I took a big breath.

I nuzzled her neck and licked away her tears. "Shh... its ok! It's ok! Let it all out!" She continued to sob into my fur. "You're a great guy, Jake. Don't run away, we need you here. She chose the leech. She rather give up her family and friends to live forever, It's her loss. She didn't know what she had. Don't give up yet! There is someone out there" She told me.

I thought about what she had said. It's true that Bella chose him over me. A cold, bloodsucking leech... I was a better choice, a healthier choice. Regardless of how I mended her up, she still ran back to him like nothing has ever happened. I love her so badly. The way she can fall down because of everything, the way how her laughter can make my heart race, how adorable she looks when she gets angry, how her soft brown curls caress her back and how beautiful her pale porcelain face smiles at me. She was my love. But I know that I haven't imprinted on her. Does that mean that I wasn't destined to be with her? And if I love Bella, shouldn't I let her be happy?

Leah pulled back from our embrace and nodded. I thanked her and I started to run off. "I'll be back, Leah. I promise" I was near the edge of the La Push border when Leah interrupted. "Jake, WAIT!" I stopped and waited for her to come. "There is a bonfire tomorrow. I want you to be there." She asked quietly.

"Sure, you see me there." I assured her. I gave her a wolfy grin and she smiled.

"Thanks Jacob! And can we kept this conversation to ourselves?" she asked.

I nodded and I ran away from there. "See you"

I pounded my legs further into my surroundings as I allowed my wolf instincts to take over.
