AN: Hi all I have read some Leah/Paul Fic's and liked them but there's not that many and so I thought I would write my own -RGreen

Here, here will I remain

With worms that are thy chamber-maids; O, here

Will I set up my everlasting rest,

And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars

From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last!

Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you

The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss

A dateless bargain to engrossing death!

Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavory guide!

Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on

The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark!

Here's to my love!

O true apothecary!

Thy drugs are quick. Thus, with a kiss, I die.

- Romeo and Juliet

Chapter 1 – The Way It Hurts

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts I love the way it hurts

Leah had been staring out to sea, not realising that hours were slipping past her. She could have been standing on the cliff side for days and wouldn't really have known. There was so much pain coursing through her body that her brain just couldn't register it, so it didn't and almost seemed to shutdown completely. Just when it seemed that she'd gotten her life back on track her world had come crashing down around her. Emily was pregnant.

Emily had always been more like a sister to Leah then a cousin and Sam well Sam had been everything, he had been Leah's first true love. The thing that hurt the most was the fact that she had started to honestly hate two people that she once loved more than life. If only they were not monsters, then Sam would have never imprinted on Emily and Leah would be the one carrying his child. Now Emily was giving Sam something Leah could never give him, a child.

Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

One more step that's all it would take, all that pain she was feeling would fade away. Leah swayed unsteadily and prepared to take the step forward. Standing at the edge more thoughts flooded her head and made it hard to concentrate, if she took the step soon there would be no more pain, no more heartache and no more loneliness.

If she hadn't been so lost in the sound of her own heartache she would have heard someone approaching from the east. As a werewolf all of her senses were heightened but at that particular moment she couldn't hear anything over the beat of her own heart and the crash of the waves on the sharp jagged rocks below. Unanswered questions were filling her mind, would Sam miss her when she was gone? Would the others in the pack really even care? Paul would be sad to see her go, she knew he pretended to hate her and always went out of his way to be a jerk whenever he had the chance. The truth was that he had always been there for her especially after Sam had left. Leah knew she could always vent her anger to him and that he would always give her the fight she was looking for. She saw Paul every day, they patrolled together as he was the only one that could handle her on a bad day. Sometime she would patrol with Seth but not that often because he couldn't stand to be around her for long periods of time. Running with Paul seemed to be the highlight of her day as it made her forget all the pain for a little while and be free.

Paul was massive, really gigantic and much taller than Sam was; he was swift and dark-eyed. Paul really was the typical tall, dark and handsome if you like that sort of thing. When transformed into his wolf form he had dark silver fur and was one of the biggest wolves in the pack to date. Paul was just as aggressive and confrontational as a wolf and usually always the first to join a fight. He did have a tendency though to phase when he gets angry and has trouble phasing back until he has calmed down.

Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie

Leah just wanted the pain to stop so much and she swayed forward once again but this time letting herself go. Without warning she felt strong arms wrap around her waist and something hit her with a lot of force from the side. Leah hit the ground with a thud, all the air rushed out of her lungs leaving her winded and confused. Wasn't it all meant to be over? Why was she still in pain? A sharp voice penetrated the fog that clouded her brain, the voice so heart wrenchingly familiar. "What the bloody hell do you think you're doing Leah?" Paul's large overly warm hand came up and captured her face forcing her look at her saviour in the face. "Tell me why Leah… NOW!" he demanded. "You know why," Leah said her voice sounding broken and weak. Normally it was defiance or anger that laced her voice but today she sounded dead. She tried desperately not to look Paul in the eye afraid of what she would see in those beautiful eyes of his. She had known Paul her whole life; he was Sam's best friend and would have been the best man at her wedding to Sam if it had ever happened. Now it was more than likely he would be Sam's best man at his marriage to Emily.

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife
In my windpipe I can't breathe
But I still fight
While I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right
It's like I'm in flight

Paul kneeled in the mud holding Leah tightly to him. What the hell had she been thinking? How could she even think of doing this? Didn't she realise how many people she would be hurting by doing this. Paul had never even had an inkling that she was so depressed and he certainly didn't think she would try to take her own life. His whole body shuddered at the thought of her death, it made him so angry that he almost phased there and then.

'Pull yourself together ma, the girl needs you!' Paul thought to himself trying to calm down so as not to phase. He looked down at Leah and saw the pain reflected in her beautiful dark eyes and knew right then he would do everything in his power to make her happy and keep her safe forever. Feeling like he was gravitating closer to Leah a warm glowing heat suddenly filled him.

He had just imprinted!

He had just imprinted on his best friends ex!

His head swam and his heart raced as he looked into the eyes of the women that he loved more then life itself. He knew in that moment he would die for her.

High of a love
Drunk from the hate
It's like I'm huffing paint
And I love it the more that I suffer
I sufficate
And right before im about to drown
He resuscitates me
He resuscitates me

It had started to rain while they were on the ground; it nearly always rained at this time of year in La Push. Despite her unnaturally high body temperature Leah started to shiver and moved closer to Paul resting her head on his shoulder. "I'm not going to let you die Leah," Paul says swinging Leah into his arms and started making his way away from the cliff's edge. Paul began to run with her in his arms heading straight for his place, there was no way he was taking Leah to her house like this and he was defiantly not going to take her to Sam and Emily's house.

His place wasn't much but it was his and he liked it. Kicking the door open he shouldered the rest of the way in and made a beeline for the bathroom. By the time they got there Leah was shivering excessively and Paul sat her gently on the side of the bath. He reached out and started to take her jumper off. "What do you think you're doing Paul?" Leah asked through chattering teeth trying to inject some venom into her voice. Her own hands stretched out to keep her jumper on by tugging down the hem "Don't you have any decency?" She questioned him callously. "You're freezing Leah and in shock! You are getting in the shower to warm up whether you like it or not!" Paul told her in a dominate tone that showed Leah he was the Alpha of this situation. He started to strip her and then himself not caring about modesty. Helping her into the shower he followed closely before wrapping her in his arms and holding her close.

Here we go again
it's so insane
Cause when it's going good
It's going great
I'm Superman
With the wind in his bag
She's Lois Lane

As she began to warm under the hot jets of water from the shower, she began to sink back into the insanely large body behind her letting the strong arms that were around her tighten and bring her further into his warmth. Leah thought about the events of the last hour and began to regret every second. She was extremely strong willed but in a moment had given in to the ache within and let it take over her whole being. She was knocked out of her reverie by a soft voice, "I thought things were getting better." Paul buried his face in her hair and inhaled deeply, "Why would you do that to your family? Haven't they been through enough pain and loss?" Leah pulled herself out of his embrace and turned to face him, not caring about there nakedness. "It wasn't about them," She said defensively showing Paul a glimpse of her normal rebellious self. "I...I just couldn't...I didn't want to be alone anymore!" Leah looked down ashamed of her weakness. She felt two warm hands take hold of her face and lift it up so that she was looking directly into his eyes. "You are not alone Lee. You have never been alone," Paul said with a look of pure devotion and love on his face "You will never be alone again, I will never leave you."

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts

It was at that moment Leah realised why Paul was acting so insanely out of character. He had IMPRINTED...ON HER Leah Clearwater. She couldn't look away from his dark eyes, hypnotised by his intense stare. "I'm in love with you Leah Clearwater, now and forever," Paul declared the truth of his word all over his face.

"Please don't ever do anything like that again. It would kill me if anything happened to you." As Paul had been speaking they'd been been moving closer and closer together like two magnets attracting. In those few seconds before he pressed his lips to hers Leah felt all of the pain and loneliness leave her body and felt her heart open just a little letting Paul weave his way in. The instant his lips met hers it was like fire, hot and intense. She felt like she was burning alive with pleasure and was sure the same feeling was shooting through Paul. Leah pressed her body closer to his and wound her fingers into the hair at the back of his head. Paul felt like his brain was exploding, every synapse firing like crazy. He loved every little thing about her; her skin, her hair, her face, her hands and her heart.

Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

An: Please review and tell me what you think! Yes there are lemons coming in the next couple of chapters don't worry. I would love some feedback but if you have cruel things to say just don't say them because the reason i haven't written a fic in a long time is because of a vicious review that ripped my heart out so I stopped, honestly i really don't fell like doing that again so if you don't like my fic don't read it, its as simple as that - RGreen
