Hey guys! I was planning to make this a multi-chaptered fanfic so review & let me know if I should!

Summary – Leah and Jacob get into a fight. Leah loses her memory and Jacob is the only one there to help her. It will be a long, surprising road back to recovery. BLACKWATER!

Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing

JACOB'S POV

This sucks. Its bad enough she had to leave me, but did she also have to choose someone else to be with? And did that someone else just have to be a leech? Why couldn't Bella see that I am better for her? I would never hurt her or leave like he did. I saved her and brought her back to life when he broke up with her. I was there for her constantly for months when she needed it most and where did it get me? Alone.

"Aw look, poor little Jacob is running around feeling sorry for himself."

I was running through the forest in a rage. I had phased as soon as I was healed enough to be able to handle it. And as soon as I did, I had started running. I wasn't running away..I was just running. I needed to clear my head and be alone. Of course, as soon as I was finally able to enjoy the fact that it was just me and the forest, I heard that voice in my head. The voice of someone I didn't enjoy talking to when I was happy, let alone depressed.

"Leah, I really just want to be alone."

"Why? So you can think about how your precious Bella left you and ran off with the bloodsucker? It really is kind of pathetic, Jacob. I mean, you literally fell so deeply in love with Bella and then, as if you meant absolutely nothing to her, she abandoned you to be with the person she actually to think, he's a leech! Must make you feel pretty worthless, unwanted and maybe even forgotten, huh?"

She could feel my anger building. I knew Leah was only saying this stuff to get a reaction out of me. I tried so hard pushing the feeling away but she continued on her little rampage, pleased with the fact that she was making someone else feel as bad as she did all the time. I just wanted her to shut up and leave me alone. So, I said the first angry words that came to me.

"Wow Leah, you really worded my situation well. But than again, I guess you know what you're talking about, considering nearly the same exact thing happened to you not too long ago. How does it feel knowing that as much as you thought Sam loved you, he could forget about you and run off with your cousin without even thinking twice? I guess the love you felt for him wasn't really a mutual feeling afterall."

And with that, as quickly as she had entered my mind, she left. I guess my words hurt her as much as I intended them too because she phased back without even throwing a clever come back at me.

I know I didn't mean the words that I said to Leah, she just caught me at a bad time. As bad as I was feeling right now though, I managed to feel a little worse when the guilt sunk in. Sure she had started the fight, but that was just how Leah was. She used her mean attitude to deal with the heartache. Usually, I would know better and just let her rant but today was different and she should realize that.

So I continued running. I buried the guilt and the pain and ran until I could almost forget the feeling of my heart breaking.

About 4 hours later, I decided to go to the Clearwater's house. I knew Leah deserved an apology. I know we are always bickering with eachother over something and maybe it was just the fact that I was so empty inside, but I truly felt bad for the things I said to her this afternoon. Sure she brought it upon herself but in reality, she was dealing with the same situation I was, heart break. Sam left her the same way Bella left me and as much as it pained me to even think it, Leah and I were actually a lot alike.

I opened the door without knocking, as usual, and found Seth in the kitchen, as usual.

"Hey Jacob! How are you doing, man? I heard about Bella and all that and I feel really bad. Things will get better though. You know I'm here if you need me but you're a tough guy. I doubt this will slow you down!" he said quickly and cheerfully. Typical Seth, always energetic and positive no matter what the situation. It was hard to wallow in self pity around him.

"Thanks Seth. I'm doing fine..Like you said, things will get better. Hey, is your sister home? I gotta talk to her."

"Uh yeah , she's in her room I guess. She got in a couple hours ago but she didn't say a word to me, went straight upstairs and slammed the door. That's Leah for you though, always the delight."

"Yeah tell me about it," I mumbled. As I turned to go find Leah, Seth called my name.

"Wait Jacob," his tone was serious. "I don't know if you heard but my mom planned a little trip for herself. She really just wanted to get away 'cause she's been having a real hard time here in La Push and especially in this house ever since my dad..you know. I didn't want to see her go away for 3 weeks and be all alone so I offered to go with her. She probably would rather be alone but I don't care, I hate seeing her like this. I told Leah about the vacation but she opted to stay behind and watch the house. Well anyways, I know very well that she can take care of herself and can handle pretty much anything, but if you wouldn't mind keeping an eye on her, that would make me feel better. I know I'm the youngest in the family but I still feel like I need to step up and be the man of the house now and make sure everyone's ok I guess. Leah's real tough but just make sure she's ok while my mom and I are gone, ok?"

"No problem, man. Your mom will be alright, a little trip away will probably do her some good. And I know you could use a vacation so enjoy it. Don't worry about Leah, I'm sure she won't need me but I'll check up on her for you," I reassured him.

After my talk with Seth, I went upstairs to talk to Leah. I knew their house well so I had no trouble finding her room.

"Uh Leah? It's me, Jacob," I said as I knocked on the door. "I came by to apologize about earlier. Can I come in?"

No answer. I wasn't really surprised though. "Aw, come on Leah. You know I've been having a tough time lately and I didn't mean it. Just open the door and let me talk to you. Please?"

Still nothing. Boy was she angry at me. The least she could do though was hear me out. I told her I was here to say sorry so why wouldn't she just let me get it over with?

"Alright listen. I know you're stubborn but this is really unneccessary. I made you feel bad so I came to fix it and in order for me to do that, you're gonna have to let me in. You have 5 seconds before I open the door myself," I said. Clearly she wanted me to leave but I wasn't going anywhere without talking to her first.

"1…2…3…4…5…" I waited a couple extra seconds but than my patience wore out and I opened the door. However, all I found was an empty room and an open window.

She was gone.

REMEMBER TO REVIEW AND LET ME KNOW IF I SHOULD CONTINUE IT :D
