The Brother I Never Knew
Chapter 16
fusedtwilight: Here is the new chapter. I know i have been dragging it out but i promise in another two chapters he will have phased
Leah P.O.V
I was in my room getting ready..
I had put on a pair of black jeans and a nice black shirt that went to my elbows. I had taken a liking to black. I blame it on Alice. I was going over my make up when Seth came in.
“You ready yet?” he asked.
“Almost let me finish.” I said.
“It’s been a while since I saw you wear makeup.” He said.
“I know, how does it look?” I asked showing him my face.
“You look great; you know I’m really proud of you Leah.” Seth said.
“Why?” I asked.
“Because you’re getting your life together. You’re so much different then what you used to be.” He said.
“Thanks I guess.”
“No seriously you’re not as angry as you used to be, you’re taking more responsibility in your life by helping with the pups, and now this. Before you would have told Sam to go to hell but here we are going to his place for dinner.” He said.
“Thanks Seth. I guess I just reached a point in my life where I was tired of letting this damn wolf thing control my life.” I said.
“But you still love him don’t you?” he asked.
“Yes I do. I know he imprinted on Emily and there so happy together. But so where we, I can’t just forget all those memories we had together Seth. All those times he would look at me and I had to look away because he made me blush. All the times he would get out his guitar and sing all these songs he made for me. All those times we would make love and…sorry.” I said seeing the sick look on his face. “I know I should just move on and try to forget Seth. But if I just forgot then that would mean that all those times we spent together where just a lie. That just because it wasn’t imprinting that it didn’t mean anything. You don’t need imprinting to find true love Seth, I can’t forget, I won’t forget. Being a wolf may have stolen him from me, but it will never steal my memories of him. But I want them to be happy, so for my love for them I will try harder to ignore the pain. That’s all I can do, ignore it.” I said.
Seth walked forward and gave me a hug “I think you’ll find someone Leah, you deserve happiness.” He said.
“Thanks, so you know Jamie. Sam’s brother?” I asked.
“Not personally, I have seen him at school though.” He said.
“How is he doing?” I asked.
“He’s…..fine I guess.” He said.
“Explain.” I said.
“Well I mean he is a good student, gets good grades but he’s quiet. He never gets in anyone’s conversations, never gets into any fights. He’s just there.” Seth said.
“Does he have friends?” I asked.
“I think, he hangs out with some of the more popular kids. But I never see him talk. He just sits there and watches everyone else like he’s learning something.” Seth said.
“Learning?” I asked confused.
“I mean, the way he acts and moves it’s like he’s copying us. Like he’s trying to learn all he can about us so he can fit in better.” He said.
“You don’t like him?” I asked.
“It’s not that I don’t like him. I just feel uneasy about him. Like there is something about him that I should be weary of.” He said.
“Like you don’t know how to act around him. Like he’s hiding something?” I asked.
“Yeah how did you know?”
“Sam feels the same way. Even I feel uneasy about him. Have any of the other students said anything?”
“Well the human ones seem oblivious. But I and the other younger wolves feel the same way. We haven’t tried to welcome him because we feel so uneasy about him.”
“I take it you have noticed his unique condition of late?” I asked.
“Yeah, it’s obvious he’s going to phase. I don’t know why, I mean there have been no new vampires and he wasn’t here when the Volturi showed up.”
“But he was around a vampire recently, or rather a half one.” I said.
“Nessie!” Seth said.
“Exactly, maybe her being only half-vamp effected his gene differently than ours. Normally to my knowledge it doesn’t take this long for one of us to phase you know... Maybe her being half and half works differently than a full vamps effect on us.” I said.
“Maybe, but I know one thing for sure, I’m glad he won’t be on our side when he does.” He said.
“Oh come on Seth I’m sure he’s just lonely.” I said turning my back to him to fix my hair. Truth was I was glad to. I had the same feelings about him that Seth and the others had. Something was up with this kid. Where we the only ones who noticed? Was there something about our wolf instincts that where warning us?
We where the protectors of La Push. We protected our home from the monsters. Problem was vampires aren’t the only monsters.

Jamie P.O.V
I was in my room getting ready.
I was trying to decide what to wear. It wasn’t a special occasion so I decided not to over do anything. Normally I didn’t try to go all out but Leah was coming and I wanted to impress her. I had to wonder to myself why I was so fascinated with her. There was something about her eyes. I had always been good at reading a person. There was a saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul... Personally I didn’t believe in a soul. When you’re dead, you’re dead. But for me the eyes are the windows into a person’s head. All I had to do was look a person in the eyes and it was so easy to see what they were.
Leah’s eyes told me she had been through a lot. But she had risen above it all and it had made her a stronger person. I respected that strength because I respected pain. Pain made us strong, or it would destroy us. It was a good way to weed out the weak. Life was all about pain. You ether embrace it or it kills you.
I was well aware of how much older she was then me by five years. But I wasn’t trying for anything romantic. I was just tired of having to be around such mundane people who had no idea how difficult the world was and just indulged in there comfy lifestyles. Maybe it was the fact she had experienced true pain and something in my sub-conscious recognized that.
In any case I needed to hurry up. No need to be late after all, even if I did live here. The only thing I was not looking forward to was the fact Sam’s mother was going to be there. I had not seen her since the night I got here. But from the conversations I overheard between Sam and Emily she wasn’t pleased with my presence in her family’s life. I wasn’t going to waste any time trying to charm her, she was to consume by her hatred for my father her ex-husband to ever feel anything but contempt for me. I was expecting high emotions and a possible fight with her tonight. Good for me I can play the poor sad abandoned guy route on the others. Why try and earn brownie points when you can use someone else’s hate to do it for you?
I was satisfied with what I was wearing and went downstairs. The one called Jared and his woman Kim where already here. I had noticed Jared was around a lot. I had a feeling he was trusted by Sam a lot. Kim was an okay girl. She was a very fragile girl emotionally and was very girly girl. I noticed Jared was very protective of her; he looked at her the same way Sam would look at Emily. Like he was a blind man seeing the sun for the first time in his life.
“Hi Jamie.” Kim said waving at me.
I waved back at her. Kim may be weak willed and lacked any inner strength but she was at least polite. I had nothing against Kim. Although her needing Jared as a source for her inner strength was typical of someone who was house wife material I appreciated her ability to always know the rules and regulations when in someone else’s home. Which is more then what I can say for some of the other yahoo’s running around here.
Jared was an okay guy. He had always been polite to me, and was pleasant to be around. He was also surprisingly well educated. I found him a good source to blow off steam. If ever I got tired of hanging around idiots (like those I call friends at school) I could always rely on Jared for a smart conversation. I was curious as to why he never went to college. I knew he was smart enough to go far in the world. He was one of the few people around here I believed could do great things if he could escape this gloomy place civilization forgot.
“Is Leah here yet?” I asked Kim.
“No not yet, she should be soon.” She said.
”All right thank you.” I said and then headed for the kitchen. Emily of course was there and was getting the roast ready. “Need a hand?” I asked.
“Yes thank you, could you get the plates ready?” she asked.
“Sure.” I said.
I grabbed the plates and headed for the table. Sam was sitting there, I could tell from the look on his face he was deep in thought about something.
“Penny for your thoughts?” I asked.
“Nothing worth money over.” He smiled.
He watched me as I sat the plates on the table. I found it disturbing. There was something about the way his eyes followed me. Like he knew something and he was going to talk to me about it. Sure enough.
“We need to talk, sit down.” He said waving to the seat across from him.
“But I have to set the table.” I said.
“This won’t be long.” He said.
I sat across from him. It wasn’t a good sign he wanted me across from him. It meant he wanted to observe my facial features when the talk began. Good thing I was a master of this little game.
“I got a call from your school earlier after I got back from home. They received your school records and they found some….disturbing information.” He said seriously.
Crap I know where this is going. I had always feared they may find my old school records. There was information on them I would rather not be revealed.
“I think I know what this is about but please go on.” I said my face expressionless.
“I hate to pry, but why do you think your principle is now scared to have you around the other students?” he asked. His eyes stern but his face smooth.
“You tell me Sam.” I said staring right back.
“Okay, care to explain why you stapled a girls face to a chalk board when you where in second grade?” he asked.
Ah yes that little incident. “I was new to the school; there was a girl who kept on making fun of me for wearing hand me downs. I warned her to stop and when she persisted I showed her I meant business.”
His eyes went from serious to shock in a split second. But then they went back to their more serious look.
“Is there a particular reason you couldn’t have just gone to the teacher?” he asked.
“I was young and emotional. I made a few mistakes.” I said.
“When you where in fifth grade you where suspected in assaulting another older student. He denied it was you even though all the evidence pointed to the contrary.”
“To be truthful I did assault the older kid. I had a friend who was being picked on by this older student. I promised my friend I would protect him and I waited for the kid to go home. I ambushed him and broke his arm and cracked a rib or two. He needed a lesson, not a slap on the wrists.” I said.
Never once had I shown any emotion in my eyes or on my face. I was beginning to think maybe I should change that. He might feel sympathy for me if I showed tears. I could play this out as being the result of my upbringing. I could then point out I hadn’t done anything wrong since I arrived and was looking for a second chance.
“There are other incidents Jamie, other reports of violence and brutality.” He said.
“I am sorry you had to find out this way Sam. But I was afraid if I told you, you would turn me away. I haven’t done anything to make you think I am a bad person.” I said,
“I don’t think you’re a bad person. I have read from these reports you have moved dozens of times. And from the reports on your mother I know you didn’t have the most stable life. But I have to wonder how long before you blow up again?”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“I talked to Brady today; he told me all about your little speech.”
“I found him to be annoying; he kept on trying to get me to talk to him and disrespected Leah. So I told him what I thought.” I said shrugging my shoulders.
“I’m in a tough spot right now. So far you have been a model student and excellent brother. But now I find all this out and after your little spat with Brady makes me worried.” He said.
“I understand.” I said.
“We will talk more about this later.” He said standing up, “Go see if Emily needs help.” I nodded and got up to leave.
We all have our little secrets… If Sam new about the stuff I did off record he wouldn’t hesitate to send me packing. What to do now? I had to be extra careful now. Sam’s faith in me was rattled and I could not afford any more revelations about my past. I would have to work extra hard now to prove my worth. My back up plane was Emily. As long as I could stay in her good graces Sam would never let me leave. Which I was counting on.
Something told me though tonight was going to be very interesting. I had always had a gut instinct which had allowed me to survive. And it was telling me something was going to happen that would change me forever. Who knows maybe it had something to do with Leah.
