When the wait came up after the girls had taken there seats Leah noted he was male. Perfect. She made sure to note how his jeans fit him and stored it away for later when the guys could hear her thoughts. But still...mmmm..the waiter could fill his jeans.
"Two bacon double cheeseburgers, with large fries, and a side of cherry pie please." No, She was not ordering for Bella as well, she was just ordering for her self. She wait for Bella to order, knowing the guy might not believe she was going to eat all that alone.

Bella knew werewolves had a big appetite so she wasn't surprised with Leah's large order. "I'll have cheeseburger, small fries, and a coke," Bella said to the waiter.
She didn't pay that much attention to the waiter as she ordered. After all who could ever compare to her Edward? His perfect body, face, his beautiful topaz eyes.

"Yeah! One of them too!" Leah called out as there waiter walked away. She only meant the drink but didn't really care if he brought her a copy of the rest of the meal Bella had ordered.
"So, you've known Jake since forever right? I don't remember you ever coming around." Which would make since, Leah was older by a few years and might not have hung out with the younger kids. "So tell me something embarrassing about his kid days." Something she could hold over him, she hoped.

Bella didn't really hang out with Jacob when they were kids it was mostly his sisters Rachel and Rebbecca. They were usually put together by Charlie and Billy while they fished for something to do. She didn't really remember seeing Jake that often.
"I didn't really remember much about my times down at La Push I remember Jacob's sisters though," Bella replied trying to remember that far back. She remembered Jacob telling her about her two sister's already got married.

"Right, the..."Pause. "...Twins." Leah knew them twins, and almost evened them. THEY got out before things got weird. If she had done the same, and not stayed for Sam, she could have a family right now, and not be bitter and heart broken and trapped in teenage boy's heads. "Smart kids." It sounded an off handed comment but Leah knew it wasn't.
"I was hoping for some dirt on Jacob. Something to tease him about." Leah admited with a small smile. "Nothing to bad, I wasn't asking you to betray him or anything..." Even if you've left him high and dry a few times. Leah thought but this time managed not to say.

Bella didn't have any 'dirt' on Jacob. He had been there for her when she needed him most. She knew Leah wasn't asking her to betray him, but she had felt like she had before. She sighed and notice the waiter bringing their food.
"Looks like it's time to eat," Bella said looking at Leah. As the plates were place in front of them with their drinks.

"I wasn't try--" Leah let the now no-longer-hot-but-annoying waiter set all the plates down and drinks down before speaking.
"Need anything else?"
"No beat it." Leah said in a playful but firm tone. The guy laughed and walked away. "I wasn't trying to make you think I wanted to insult Jacob or anything." She wanted to but didn't want Bella to know that. "It's sort of a pack thing." Leah had seen in Jake's mind how he had used that same excuse before with Bella. Maybe it would work now for her.

Bella had heard that before Jacob had used a few times. "Of course it's a pack think," Bella responded before taking a sip of her coke. She was thirsty they had been out for a while now.
"I really don't have anything negative to say about Jake," Bella said being a bit defensive for her friend.

Leah could tell that Bella was a bit put out with her over the whole Jake comments. "Maybe we shouldn't talk about Jacob." Or the vamps, or anything personal. Leah started eating while she thought of something new to talk about. "I doubt you had time to sight see, but...I'm not really a fan of silance...So umm...How was the weather in Italy?"
|

Post by bella on Dec 11, 2008 22:58:46 GMT -5
Bella nodded her head agreeing not to talk about Jacob. The mention of Italy made her shiver from the memory. "It was...nice," Bella said a bit unsure she didn't like to talk about her visit to Italy. She couldn't have been any more happier when she had seen him that was one good thing about the trip. She would think about the positive aspects, as few as there were.
Edward holding her kissing her on top of the head, rubbing her arm to keep her warm. "It was sunny," Bella added remembering Edward's plan to just walk right into the sunlight.

"Yeah?" Leah gave a nod as she took a bite. "I like the sun." She did like it sun. On the rare warm days here it was wonderful. She liked the weather here, but she loved it most when it was warm out side. "Did it smell like Italian food?" Leah asked trying to keep it light. She knew (from Jake's mind) that why ever Bella went had something to do with leech boy, and the cliff. Leah did not know the whole story and nor did she really want it. "I like Italian food."

"Italian food?" Bella said slowly. "No I don't think so..." Bella didn't like to talk about Italy the memory of the were still fresh in her mind. All those people that were brought infor the Volturi ran across her mind she closed her eyes for a moment. The Volturi frighten her and with good reason.
"Let's not talk about Italy," Bella said opening her eyes and talking as calmly as possible.

"Ok." Leah said and wondered what they could talk about. "Why don't you tell me more about this Victoria vampire. Maybe I will learn something and be ready for when she comes back. I hate how she keeps getting away!" And man...did Leah HATE how she keep getting AWAY. With a passion. Damn the vampire. Victoria hunted in La Push and she was going to pay with her un-dead life.

"There's not much that I really know about her," Bella said calmly. Bella knew nothing was going to happen to her with everyone protecting her, but she didn't want anyone to face and her it was to dangerous. "I'm sure you know she was James' mate and that's why she after me." Bella said this quickly and took a bite of her meal.

"Sure Sure, hell hath no furry and all that." Leah said almost dismissing the drama behind the why Victoria was after Bella. "I just wondered if you knew anything about her. What of these gifts some leaches have, could she have one?" Besides being a pain in the ass. "Perhaps any fears? What do the blo-- What do the Cullen's think her weakness are?"

Bella thought about if for a moment she didn't recall anyone telling her about Victoria's weakness and she didn't have any special talents.
"She doesn't have any special talents," Bella said thinking about it. "They don't really tell me much about her. I'm sure you can figure out why," Bella knew that they didn't her to be concerned about Victoria. They could take care of her and she shouldn't worry herself over it. She frowned she wish she could be of some help she felt utterly useless.

Leah was silent for a few moments. The she spoke as if confussed, as if she had missed the puch line to a joke. "No...I can't figure out why." Dramtic pause, "Why?"
If someone was after Leah you bet her furry wolf butt she would know every detail she could about them. She would want to be ready for when they came and if someone tried to keep anything from her, any information that could save her life later on, then she would explode when she found out. Not be all calm about it.

Bella sighed, "They don't want me to worry. Bella frowned, "Although it's a little late for that. They say they can take care of it." Bella wish she could be of some help knowing more about Victoria. She wasn't worried just for her vampire family, but Charlie, and the werewolves. "Let's for a few hours not have to worry about this, Bella said with a small smile. "Anything interesting happen in La Push lately?" Bella asked she hadn't been there in a few days.

So they could not talk about Vamps, Jake, Victoria, or travel. Leah was running out of topics and was rather glad Bella at lest moved them on to another one. It was shocking hard to talk about casual things with someone who you had to watch what you say around. "Ummmm...." Leah thought for a moment. "Jared and Quil imprinted." Bella knew Quil. That was a safe topic?....well, as long as Leah left her opinions out of the topic it was safe. Poor little Claire....

Bella remembered Jacob telling her about that. If she remembered correctly it was a two year old, that was still a bit weird to her. It was a strange concept Imprinting. Then she remembered that Leah and had been sweet hearts and he imprinted on Emily. Bella still felt sorry for her, how painful it must be.
She had been tortured with pain when Edward left her. She quickly erased the thought. "Jacob was telling me about that, it was with a two year old wasn't it?"

Leah tired not to smile but it was sort of funny. Of coarse, thinking about it reminded her she would never imprint or anything and that made her bitter so the smile did not stay on her face long. It was replaced with a scowl. "Yeah, poor kid." Leah was silent for a moment and then keep going, "Jared too. Not on a kid but, imprinted. Some girl in his class that he never noticed until he got all wolf. Now she suddenly is the only thing he can think about."

"Imprinting is a bit odd," Jacob had described it as love at first site, but stronger. It was strange to care for someone with no apparent reason. She wondered briefly what drew a wolf to that person. Just as Leah had said Jared had known the girl, but never noticed her until he was a wolf.

Leah inhaled and tried to stay casual. She was not going to rant out on Bella about being a dead end, and trapped and how she wanted to imprint. It wasn't fair! Sam should have imprinted on her, but something was wrong with her apperntly. She wasn't able to cary on the gene. Damn it. "It can be. Some of us are better off with it. Jacob could at lest get off the leash you keeping him on." Leah spoke with out thinking, trying to hurt Bella they way she was hurting.
Sighing Leah waved her hands, "Sorry! That really came out with out me thinking about it, ya know? I just think, Jake--and the pack--would be better off---It would be healthier if he could move on. Ya know?"

"I wish he would," Bella whispered. She really wanted Jake to move on and find someone that is worth his time. It was hard to be his friend when he wanted so much more from her. Something he would never have. She would always want Edward and nothing would change that.

"Yeah, I wish he could." Leah said could and not would because, as Jake had pointed out once, he had seen about every girl in La Push. Nothing earth moving had happen. He was not going to leave La Push / Forks until Bella was 'safe'. Which meant, he was not going to move on, or get a life anytime soon. "Bella, look, I am not the biggest Jacob fan out there. I've said that once or twice today alone. But I've seen his head, and I know the road he is on. I've been there, I am there, I live it. It would help if you gave him a push. Told him to try to move on. Draw lines and let him go."

"I've told him exactly how I felt," Bella said serious. She had tried so hard to tell Jake that they were just friends, but it wasn't enough for him he always wanted to be more. "But he wants to be more and I tell him we can't, but..." Bella trailed off no matter how many times she tried to tell Jake he would keep trying to get her. She loved him yes, but not in that way like she would a brother or family member. It use to be so easy to friends with Jake, but things have been getting difficult the line of friendship and something more blurred more and more.

"Yeah, it's the but that keeps him from moving on." Leah said bitterly. "You have to make him believe it. Make him see it. He is in limbo, and your helping him hang on even with your hints that it will never happen. Your doing more harm then good to him Bella. You need to make him see." Leah was sure that Bella wouldn't do a damn thing differently. Heck, maybe she liked the attention.

"That's easier said than done," Bella replied. Jacob could act like her friend one day and want to more the next. Their relationship was difficult. She wanted to keep him in her life she didn't want to give him up. And all she was doing was hurting him. She didn't know what else to do. She couldn't imagine life without him. But wouldn't that be easier for him at least. To give him a chance to move on? Bella sighed she knew nothing would change at least until she became a vampire and then would Jake still want to be her friend, or even be around her?

"Think of it like a band-aid," Leah said, thinking it slightly funny that she was comparing Bella's relationship to band aids, but her face showed no humor. "Do it in one quick and clean action and it will hurt for a bit but then your able to move on. A clean break from you would let him heal and move on!"

Post by bella on Dec 18, 2008 22:49:14 GMT -5
"Clean breaks don't always work," Bella said this frowning her voice serious. She remembered all to clearly when Edward left her. She closed her eyes at the memory. He had tried to give her a clean break, but that didn't work. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes.
She looked at Leah, "And what if he never heals?" Bella knew time would heal it, but what if it didn't. Her depression when Edward had left her made her hurt and she knew that pain would have never gone away if he hadn't come back. She knew Jacob didn't love her that much, at least she hoped not. Maybe he would heal if she let him go.
