Anger and the Artist

Disclaimer: I own none of the characters from Twilight I only own the plot for this story and Kim's family and Erin.

A/N I thought this would be up earlier than this but life once again got in the way. This is Leah and Caleb's story. But a few things to mention:

For those that have not read my other stories Caleb is the older brother of Kim and features in my story Unignorable love a Kim and Jared story. Now I hope as I have wrote it so it is not necessary to read that but do if you want.

For those who have read my other stories, there are no spoilers for how Erin and Embry's story and Jake and Nessie even though there are similarities. They did not get together like how I wrote in the incredibly cheesy Kiss and run. And I have had to slightly alter Unignorable love. Not so much it needs rereading. Just that Kim's family is returning to La Push after ten years away. They moved when Kim was seven and Caleb 10. It's explained here.

For all this is T rated for the moment but since they are all older it might change to an M but I have not decided yet. I might just write a one shot separately. But I'm not sure please tell me what you think. Also this will be slightly different from my other stories I hope you will all enjoy it.

Sorry for the long A/N this will not be a normal thing.

And the another little twist just to add to Leah's problems.

Planes and CAT boots

Leah's P.O.V

It's worse when I'm on my own. For so long I have lived with everyone in my head I miss it. I hate it but I miss it. Silence is painful. I miss them; I miss laughter, real laughter not the laughter of the small ignorant idiots who find everything that each other say funny even when it isn't. But I can't go back. I should send a plane ticket to mom like I did last time and all the times before. Not this...

"Your boarding pass please" I hand it over not letting it go easily making the overly perky woman pull till I released. "Thank you I take it back after she checks it over and walk towards the plane the slight breeze making my hair blow in my face. It was too my shoulders now it always got in the way always sticking to my lip gloss. Why had I ever had it long, why didn't I just cut it?

I don't like planes, being cooped up stuck next to someone who falls asleep and drools on your shoulder. Mom knows this and Seth could just come out to see me too it's not like Jacob or

"Sam!" my heart beats tenderly, it didn't rip me in two anymore "Sam don't run down the aisle like that" I went to his and Emily's wedding unfortunately I wasn't there for the birth of his kids. Now that hurt, the sounds of a child's squeal and giggle. I close my eyes blocking out the sound and sight of a happy mother and child. And that was why I'm on a plane home being hit by a CAT boot from someone's bag, not because I missed the fresh green of the forest or the guys but my mom. I needed my mom.

I thought I had it all. I stopped phasing three years ago completely , I met the man of my dreams not my imprint but nearly perfect, Dan. blonde and blue eyed a little too thin and at first to pale too much like a sucker but he was kind and ready to settle down. He was the one who finally let me stop phasing. He wanted kids. At first I freaked out but when I stopped phasing everything started again. I thought it was possible but this last year we had tried and nothing happened. I freaked but nothing was wrong with either of us and...Well let's just say that's why Dan wasn't perfect in the end. The apartment still smelled like him. Damn wolf genes.

"Excuse me I'd like to leave the plane at some point"

"Yeah and you'll leave through the window if you don't stop bugging me" I snap in defense I hadn't even realized we had landed. Add a glare and problem sorted; well she shouldn't have hit me with her shoe. I gather my stuff and brace myself. The air was damp and cool and fresh. It felt so good to be out of the city, the air always fume filled. But it was the furthest place I could get without being too far for me to get home quick. And it was more that I didn't want to be around forest, as no forest meant a place to phase easily. Turns out local parks at night are just as good. Entering the small air port I look and sniff around for my family but hardly have a chance before I'm bombarded.

"LEAH" I wince as my name is boomed at me.

"Hey" I say under the pile of arms and bodies. Who was this glad to see me? Finally I shrug free of everyone and look to see who everyone was. Seth was smiling at me goofily. I smile back it was so good to see him again I missed him. Christmas wasn't enough. Then there was Embry, Paul and Colin.

"Hey" They say back.

"Mom says she's really sorry she couldn't be here but Charlie needed her help last minute with something" I nod.

"Got your stuff" Someone says running up to us and I notice it was Brady. I smile at him as I grab my stuff from him.

"Thanks" I say and quickly head for the door. The sooner I was out of the air port the better. The air was cold and damp as we arrive at the car park. I spot Seth's knackered old truck instantly and head quickly over there. Even if the cold didn't affect me the rain sure did. I wasn't use to it like I use to be. I do take the time to breathe in deeply savoring the clean fresh smell. Hoping to rid my brain of the scent of my apartment. Dan leaving me didn't hurt as much as Sam had. But then maybe it was that knowing I could imprint anytime meant I didn't give myself to him completely. No that wasn't it, maybe I had just used up all my bitterness and anger when Sam left me. It wasn't imprinting, I didn't fear it and I didn't wish for it anymore like I once had. Now why was I thinking of imprinting? And why was that pang to imprint there again? There was no way I would imprint in La Push no one had moved there since Jared's imprint Kim had moved back seven years ago. I shake my head as I dump my suit case in the truck before turning and waiting for the guys to arrive. But like the guys they were they were looking at the diner across the road.

"Leah you hungry?" Seth asks hopefully while giving me puppy dog eyes. I was in fact starving but I couldn't let them know that.

"Jesus still ran by your stomachs hey? Yeah sure I could eat something"

We took over the diner all over us cramped around a small sticky table tucking greedily into burgers, chips and onion rings plus all the sauces you could think of. It's now the guys finally have the guts to ask all the questions that they've wanted to the moment I arrived.

"So" Embry starts off "three years?"

"Yeah three years" I nod taking another bite of my burger.

"What's it like?" empty boring quiet brilliant. Only two could I say.

"Well it's great and quiet!"

"It must be you're mellower" Paul adds.

"Really?" I ask I knew I wasn't bitter but I still had a temper. Dan hadn't liked that but then I didn't like him putting his feet on the table.

"Yeah it's quite freaky actually" I laugh at that.

"Yeah well none of you have pissed me off yet" I wish I had a camera their faces were brilliant I knew most of them had expected me to blow up at the last remark but I was too at ease.

"So what about you guys. How are you all?"

"Well Erin and I have settled into our new house well, Jared and Kim are doing ok as well they just moved in to theirs three weeks ago. Erin told me to say hi by the way and to come over" Embry had a dreamy expression on his face at the mention of Erin. I smile.

"Sure tell her I'd love too it will be nice to see her after all this time"

"Leah it is weird" Seth says slowly looking at me like I had a second head.

"What?"

"You're just so calm, so relaxed it's well yeah freaky"

"I told someone who bugged me I'd throw them through the plane window today!" I say suddenly feeling the need to defend myself.

"Yeah but before you might have actually done it"

"I-" I cut off as the door opens and a huge shadow falls across the table. I look up and up to see Jacob. He was smiling and I don't think, I stand and rush over to him. Its then I notice the girl next to him. Long copper hair, brown eyes inhuman beauty. Renesmee.

"Jake! Nessie!"

"Hey" Jake says and grabs me in a hug. We had left on good terms, he was a good friend being in his pack had helped me so much. I hoped I helped as well in a little during that dark time. Looking at Nessie I feel the urge to smooth my hair. She was perfect but not exactly like I thought she would turn out. With aunts like hers I thought she would be a lot more girly. But instead she was dressed in a baggy blue top and ripped jeans and a long black hoody. She was the only blood sucker I could talk to normally and actually liked. The Cullen's I could bare but I was still bitter on Jake's behalf and all others red or golden eyed were a no no. So I hadn't changed that much. And I only like Nessie because of what I saw through Jake's eyes and that she made him happy.

"Hi" Nessie greets me smiling shyly.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"Welcoming you home, we wanted to get here earlier but unfortunately the bunny broke down"

"The bunny?" I ask confused. Nessie's cheeks turn a very pale pink.

"Erm my car, when I was younger I wanted a car like Jake's rabbit and on my sixteenth birthday we started to build my own and well it just become it's nick name" I nod not fazed by the sixteen I knew I hadn't been gone that long.

"So why now have you decided to grace us with your presence?" Jake asks once he was settled and had ordered four more burgers.

"Erm" Now what to say? I didn't want to go telling the world about Dan and me. "Mom wouldn't come out to me this time"

"Uh huh I'll get it out of you later, so tell me what you been doing all this time" I take another bite of burger before I start to tell them the very boring details of my job.

Caleb's P.O.V

The one thing if I had to pick anything about La Push that I hated would be the rain when you had to walk the mile and a half to your car. But today I would have to run since I was going to be late to Kim's. The paint was heavy in the bag and I was afraid it was going to break through the plastic or the thin straps were going to break through my fingers. I swap hands as I step in a puddle. Great just great. The only thing I liked about the rain was that I could tell people that it was the inspiration for my latest work. When in fact it was more my own personal little rain cloud. Something felt missing in my life and I had no idea what it was and an even more annoying thing that had happened lately was that I felt like something big was about to happen. I don't know what but it was driving me mad. The constant nagging that something was coming.

"How long has it been?"

"About six years"

"Whoa" The deep voices sounded familiar as I come closer to the corner I quicken my pace suddenly and weirdly very interested in the conversation. I peer around the corner to see Embry and Paul talking to each other leaning again the wall. I only knew these guys because of the amount of time they had spent at our house and food they had eaten at the restaurant. They were big friends with Kim, Jared and my brother Kellan. I move back around the corner and lean against the wall the same way and listen.

"Yeah wonder how they got her to come back? Think they told her the truth?" Embry asks.

"I dunno but I'm glad, I hated it when she was here but when she went I missed her, at the end she wasn't so bad and we need her right now"

"Yeah I think getting away from Sam helped her a lot" Sam? Her? That could only… She was back. Leah was back! I feel my lips curl in a smile and my mood lift. Leah was back. It was a secret I had never told anyone about. But my first and longest lasting crush was on Leah Clearwater. We were in the same year until we moved states when I was 10. But ever since pre-school when she hit me on the head with a plastic hammer I had had a soft spot for her. When I heard she went out with Sam it still hurt even though I wasn't there. She had never really noticed me but then I had spent most of my time in the art room even at that young age. And then when I finally moved back and sorted out the family business I hadn't seen her well only at a glance but she never saw me. Then it was her turn to move away. When I came back it was to here Leah and Sam weren't together and that Leah turned bitter and angry. But she was still beautiful and I still watched her. Jesus I sound like some stalker, I'm acting like a stalker listening to a conversation about her when I should be heading over to Kim's. Skye and Pixie where probably already there. I push off the wall and step forward and straight into someone. The paint in the bag swings forward and I hear the dull thud as the tin bangs into their leg then the low huskily whispered curse. I knew that voice. I look up and feel my mouth drop open. She was even more beautiful than before. When I had returned a few years ago her hair had been short but now it was long. Brushing past her shoulders falling in straight silk locks. Her hazel eyes were wide as she looks at me. Did she recognized me?

"Sorry" I blurt out "Sorry, sorry sorry" I couldn't seem to stop apologizing.

"Caleb Bell?" She whispers seeming not to believe it was me.

"Erm yeah Leah" I say amazed she knew who I was.

"What the hell are you doing?" I wince at the snap of her words. She had started to shake slightly.

"Erm sorry I was just about to turn the corner I didn't see you-"

"No I mean what the hell are you doing back in La Push aren't you suppose to be some big wig layer in New York?"

"No I never went to New York I'm a-"

"Never went!" She nearly screams at me green sparks glowing in her eyes.

"No I-" But I never finished my sentence before she turns and sprints away from me her long legs carrying her quickly. I watch her till she darts into the woods. Whoa. What the hell had just happened there? Deep laughter shakes me out of my thoughts and I turn my head to see Embry and Paul laughing at me.

"What?" I snap.

"Not you" Embry manages "Oh I got to tell Jared this" Embry says before turning and walking away no doubt to tell Jared but what? I could ask him tonight.

"Paul?" I ask.

"Not my place to say" Then he like Embry walked away. Leaving me confused as hell.

Leah P.O.V

This couldn't have happened. I went to buy some goddamn tooth paste as I remembered I forgot mine and I end up bumping into Caleb Bell! My first crush before Sam and end up imprinting on him! My head was whirling every single emotion you could ever feel, anger, fear, happiness swirled and bubbled inside me begging for release. I could feel my body shaking, losing control to the magic that swam in my blood, even as I shouted at him. Watching his chocolate brown eyes widen in shock. He was taller than me and I was freakily tall and it felt weird to look up to someone after all the years looking down at Dan. He never went to New York. Why did that make me mad as hell? His hair falls into his eyes and he shakes his head slightly to move it out of the way but the hair remains in place. I have the urge to brush it away, to see if it feels as silky as it looks.

"Never went!" I shout instead to keep my mind off thinking how unsettled I felt.

"No I-" I couldn't listen to anymore. I couldn't stand here looking at my imprint. My future, my life had just been turned upside down. I run off feeling my body shaking and I make my way to the safety of the woods. Had I really felt like I wanted to imprint ever? Why? I was bound to this person now and forever in La Push. It felt too good to be home and surrounded by the guys again. But I ran away from all this, I needed to live my own life and I couldn't do it here where everything reminded me of the freedom I had when I was a wolf. I hated it, sharing thoughts and the danger of killing vampires; sure it was thrilling but who that was sane found that fun? And the control the alpha had over you! I didn't want that but I still missed the speed, the strength, the connection you had with nature. I feel the old out of control need to phase take over my body in a surge of heat. Then in explosion of clothes and fur I was four footed again. I feel myself calm slightly. Voices invade my head.

"Leah?" Seth

"What the hell?" Kellan one of the new wolves from the last major battle and Kim's older brother and shit Caleb's younger brother.

"Caleb what about Caleb?" I hear Kellan ask distantly. I shake my head like I had first done when I heard the voices. But like then they remained.

"Oh my God!"

"Shit" I hear Seth and Kellan shout in surprise when I can't help but relive the last few minutes. I imprinted on Caleb Bell. I had been devastated even at 10 when he moved away and when his family moved back I had hoped he would be with them. Then maybe his smile could have found its way through my dark bitter heart and I would be happy again. But he hadn't. I thought he was in New York. I had given up hope he would return. I didn't know he had. If he didn't go to New York to study law, where had he gone then? I needed to know everything about him. The need to know everything was overwhelming.

"He ended up with our grandmother; he got a job and studied art part time. He's an artist now he's doing ok, lives just on the edge of the rez" Kellan explains to me. I nod. Absorbing it all I smile. He always did like art. No wait a second…Anger takes the place of the bubbling happiness I had just experienced. Anger at him and of imprinting. Great just great I had imprinted on Caleb Bell an artist lay about. He was settled in La Push and scraped by on selling some paintings. He wouldn't want to leave and I would be stuck here. And he made me phase! Three years! Three years I remained two legged and without a muzzle but one look at him and bang I'm wolf girl again. The old familiar sour burn of bitterness fills my chest. I couldn't forgive this.

"Caleb isn't a lay-"

"Kellan south!" Seth suddenly interrupts. I focus automatically and my hearts almost stops. A sickly sweet scent burns my nose. Oh hell no.

"Blood sucker" Kellan growls.

"Kellan chase it away from the rez head north, I'll meet you there, Leah cover Kellan" I blink feeling frozen for a second till Seth snaps again. "Leah!" I start to run hoping I remembered how to kill one it would really suck if I couldn't. Actually this all sucked! I had a feeling mom had a different reason for not coming out to see me this time. Why had everything turned so complicated?

Life really did hate me.

Caleb's P.O.V

I listen half to the rest of my family and Embry and Erin, gush over Jared and Kim. My younger sister was going to have a baby. I was going to be an uncle. I was happy for them I hadn't seen a bond and love as strong as Jared and Kim before, and they deserved this happiness the beginning of their relationship hadn't exactly been perfect. But the rest of me was thinking of earlier with Leah. What had happened? Why did she react like she had, like she was angry at me for not going to New York? I didn't even know she knew I went to New York. But then mom did boast about it. What had I said? She looked at me like she hated me but for a second I had seen something else. Something softer before it was taken over by shock then anger. She was so angry she shook. But the bigger question was why all of a sudden did the feeling of something coming just go? I felt settled, like everything in my life had fallen into place. For the first time in years I felt like everything was going to be fine. And I was scared as hell.
