So What

BY:OZZIE13

I do not own anything Twilight related. If I did, I would have killed Emily.


She smiled that fake smile for the fifth time that night. She sat by herself watching the newlyweds dance their first dance. Her pain was consuming her, but this was her show, she had to pull this off, but the pain was slowly eating her alive. She held her head in her hands praying that she wouldn't break down, but then again why would fate go easy on her now.

--

A warm hand was on her shoulder; she looked up and saw the groom. He smiled weakly at her, he knew he was causing her pain, but he just wanted one dance.

Leah got up and Sam led her to the dance floor. He put his arms tightly around her waist, she didn't know where to rest her arms, Sam slowly moved her arms around his neck, and went back to holding her tight.

To an outsider, they would have been the 'it' couple.

Both looking at each other as the memories came crashing in. Leah's eyes watered and her hold on him became tighter as if, if she held on tighter to him everything would go away – Emily would go away, but this wasn't la-la land this was the real world.

The pain shot straight through her heart and she started breathing hard, she couldn't do this.

"Leah?" Sam whispered. "Are you okay?"

Leah didn't want to pretend anymore this was the real world; there was no need to pretend, so she shook her head no. Sam frowned.

"I'm sorry." He whispered. Leah's tears rolled down her flushed cheeks slowly.

"Don't be." She told him, because so what if he was sorry – it didn't change anything.

"I never wanted this to happen. Lee... I never wanted to hurt you."

"So what if it hurts me, so what if I break down... it's not going to change anything Sam." Leah whispered her grip loosening. Finally she dropped her hold and slowly walked away and headed straight towards the greenery.

--

She knew she had completed her show; she stayed and faked a smile. Now she knew what the next step was – moving on. She went to the secret meadow they shared and knew he would come soon.

--

When Jacob Black wrapped his warm arms tightly around her she knew she would be fine.

So what if it hurt her, so what if she breaks down? So what if this world kept on pushing her to the edge, she knew she was going to be okay, because she found her place – Jacob's arms. Cause all Leah Clearwater wanted was to be happy.

Maybe, just maybe this time she will be.


I was listening to Leona Lewis - Happy, and this happened. Hope you like it.

As always,
