"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."
Right! And she's supposed to be so mature beyond her years! Plus she's laid up on the sofa with every vampire, Seth, and Jacob hanging around to protect her and she thinks that Leah is what she ought to be worrying about?
"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.*"
It's also REALLY stupid. When Leah tells Jacob that she wants to get away from Sam, she explains that she doesn't want to be the clingy ex-girlfriend that no one can get away from (seriously, those are pretty much her exact words). And here we have Sam acting like the crazy jilted ex-boyfriend who stands under the girl's window, screaming to be taken back. Meyer, do you know who else did that? Ed "Plan 9 From Outer Space" Wood. Really. I guess if you really wanted to be fair, it's more of a case of Sam wanting to get the three of them back rather than running around as possible opposition. But that just makes what he did even more despicable. He tries to use their grieving and widowed mother to guilt them into coming back and then tries to use Leah's feelings for him to manipulate her. I wholeheartedly support southerngaelic's decision to shoot him and I might recommend aiming for his unmentionables. Imprinting be buggered, let's see him continue on his bloodline after THAT.
"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."
Me neither, but they were just all acting like they could never go home again ever. Not even for like a quick visit or to get more clothes or food or something.
