Okay, so here's is the not-very-long-awaited sequel to Forever Broken. If you haven't read it, this won't make a whole lot of sense, so go read Forever Broken! And, you don't have to read it, but I'm also writing a little Seth story that takes place in La Push between the time Leah leaves and the time this story starts! Go read that too! And…ON WITH THE CHAPTER!

I was crying.

More specifically, I was crying while watching the end of The Notebook. And Cassie was laughing at me!

"It's a movie!" she exclaimed.

"It's a romantic movie and it ends so sadly!"

"You just cried because it makes you think of Jake," she said matter-of-factly, and I knew she was only half joking.

"Whatever," I said, glaring at her. I hated it when she was right about these things. I mean seriously, couldn't she for once be wrong about when I was thinking about Jacob Black? She knew that I thought about him when I watched romantic movies, and when I saw wolves, and when I heard a dog bark, and in the morning, and when I talk to Seth, and at night…Ok, maybe I think about him all the time. But still!

I sighed. "Maybe you're right," I said. "But what does it matter. It took me three years to get over Sam. I just need two and a half more years!"

"But you could never have Sam," she said. "You can have Jacob."

"No!" I said loudly. "I can never be with Jacob! He will leave me just like Sam did!" I was just about to go into a full-blown angry rant, but at that moment Haley started crying and the phone rang.

"I'll get it," we both said, standing up, though we were both talking about different things. I walked into the kitchen and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Leah!" my mother's familiar voice cried on the other end.

"Mom?" I was thrilled. My mother had barely called me since I left five months ago. It was hard for her to see me so little.

"Leah, I have the most wonderful news!"

"Really, what?"

"I'm getting married!" she practically screamed. I squealed with happiness.

"Who?" I asked excitedly.

"Charlie Swan." I didn't particularly want to be step-sisters with Bella Swan, but if it made my mother happy, then so be it.

"And there's more," she said happily.

"Yes?"

"I…Honey, I want you to be my Maid of Honor!"

I squealed again. "Of course," I said, without thinking. But then reality hit me. "You want me to come back.

Silence. "I'm not asking you to stay," she said quietly. "But it would mean the world to me if you would come and stand beside me on my wedding day."

I thought it over for a moment. "Mom, you know how hard that would be for me. I…just give me some time to think it over, okay?"

I heard my mom inhale deeply before saying, "Sweetie, take as much time as you need, just please say yes.

-

"Why not!?? Cassie practically yelled at me.

"Because I can't go back there."

"Well, why not!?"

"Um, hello, I left Jake at a restaurant after I tore his heart out to save mine. Not to mention I could be facing a custody battle for Samantha. And the wolf thing!" I had to tell my best-friend and roommate I was a werewolf. It would be too hard not to, even though I hadn't phased since I left La Push.

"Remind me again, why did you leave Jake?"

"What would happen when he imprints? What if he's already imprinted?"

"He loves you!"

"He thought he did. But the universe thought different."

"Leah?"

"Yeah."

"Go! I'll come with you! I made friends with the pack when we were there! And Emily will want to see you! Go be your mom's Maid of Honor."

"You really think that's best?"

"More than I think that you should never eat flavored lip balm."
