/And he only gets how Leah feels NOW?!? Do Meyer’s dream men all include the intelligence of a dead fish and the empathy of a pile of garbage? And on top of that, he never acknowledges that he was being sulky and making people miserable himself when he was rejected!/
Because he's a self-centered jerk who has a delayed sense of empathy.
/Anyway, why is Bella so scared at the sound of Leah’s name? It’s not like Leah’s in the room or anything, and it’s rather pathetic. Jacob comments on how weird it is that Bella is so scared of Leah, but is perfectly fine with Rosalie hanging around. Bella goes into a snit fit over this, because how dare he insult one of the vampires?/
There's also the fact that Rosalie likes her now. Bella's afraid of Leah because she knows that Leah doesn't like her and can't stand the thought that somebody might not worship the ground she walks on. Remember how she was so upset when Edward glared at her back in "Twilight?" Bella was also afraid of Rosalie in "Twilight" and "New Moon" because Rosalie didn't try to hide the fact that she couldn't stand her. That's what makes Bella such a spineless, snobbish coward: she can't stand it when non-pretty people are nice to her (Mike, Eric, Jessica, etc.), but the minute that somebody doesn't like her (Lauren, Leah, Rosalie), she cowers and hides behind the big strong men.
/Bella takes the cup and slowly starts getting ready to drink it. She admits that she thinks that it smells good. What? Meyer that’s…that’s just wrong! And creepy!/
Not to mention that, again, back in "Twilight," Bella had made such a big deal over the fact that she was afraid of blood. She freaked out when Mike pricked his finger, fainted, and had to be carried to the nurse's office. But all of a sudden, when faced with the idea of *drinking* blood, she's perfectly fine. How does that make sense?
/In which case, that seems rather presumptuous of Bella, doesn’t it? She’s basically telling Jake to help himself to something that technically isn’t even hers./
Maybe, in her mind, she reasons that since she's a Cullen now, she's entitled to their property and whatnot. But since when has Bella taken other people's wishes into consideration? She has constantly let Edward sneak into her house without her father knowing, she threatened to move out if Charlie didn't accept Edward, she parked her car outside of Jacob's house and just *waited* for him to come out (if that's not creepy, I don't know what is) even though Billy had made it clear that she wasn't welcome, she harassed the Blacks by incessantly calling them, and she barged right into Jacob's room while knowing that he was sick despite Billy telling her to go away. Bella feels that she is entitled to *everything* and doesn't care about other people's feelings, which is why I believe that she is just as much of a sociopath as Edward is.
/WHERE THE FLYING FRIG DO YOU GET OFF USING YOUR OLD NICKNAME FOR LEAH? THAT IS SICK AND WRONG AND CRUEL! YOU KNOW FULL FRIGGING WELL SHE STILL LOVES YOU AND IS HURT! AND WHAT, YOU CAN’T GET HER TO COME BACK UNLESS YOU FLIRT WITH HER? BAH!/
Which is why I wholeheartedly agree with southerngaelic's wish to shoot him with silver bullets. Not only was that uncalled for, that was beyond *low.* Sam has been disregarding and belittling Leah's feelings this whole time and *now* he feels bad and wants her back? What's wrong, Sam? Feel bad that you don't have a scapegoat anymore, a convenient whipping boy (or girl, in this case) to bear the burden? That's right, Leah's not there anymore to criticize you or be less-than-happy with your arrangement with Emily, so if anything goes wrong, you don't have her to blame for it. You can't justify or excuse the madness of imprinting by saying, "Oh, Leah's just a whiny, bitter sore loser" anymore. You know what people tend to call the individuals who rail at and verbally abuse their spouses/partners and then whine and sulk when they leave and try to use passive-aggressive pleading to cajole them to come back? ABUSERS.
You make very good points about how Meyer devalues family and how Jacob and the Clearwaters should go home, but to be honest, I don't blame Leah for wanting to get away.
