I cringe at the sight of love...

One big problem is that every single person in my pack has imprinted over time..... one hundred years have passed.

I'm not just talking about Jake's pack either, but Sam's pack too. There is no where to run to.

Except maybe away, but I can't leave now... Seth's going to get married.

And I'm his big sister.. Really all he has left. Mom died a few (more like 80) years ago.

Despite how much it will hurt me to go to that wedding and let that girl take him away and see all the love and happiness, I'm going, because I love my baby brother. If I love anyone I love him.

So I can't leave. That's not even an option.. Mostly I stay in my little house (I've moved away from mom's old house, in order to give it to Seth and Lisa, so now I'm living in a little house off the Cullen house. They built it for me.. as a sort of birthday present.), staring at the pages of books that Edward or Dr. Cullen have recommended (no romance.. they are smart enough not to get that started), but not really reading the words. Once and a while one of the Cullen's would stop by and talk to me, and I've grown quite found of Alice. She is very good about nottalking about Jasper... The others, well, they can forget who they are talking about and start jabbering on about their lovers.

Then I am forced to turn cold and they slowly get the picture and stand up.. "I guess I better be getting back." They usually say as they go.

Oh, but Alice, she's different. She is thoughtful and understanding of my anger. So, she gladly never talks about Jazz. She has broken me on fashion. I honestly like shopping with her now. It is amazing, but it's kind of fun.

Anyway, right now I'm in my little house with a book on my lap trying to make the blur of black focus out to be words, but I couldn't. I was crying. Today we (Alice and I) were going to look for dresses... for the wedding.

That's what Alice does. When in doubt go shopping.

Nice philosilphy, but right now I don't think its going to help. She's taking me to one of those big wedding places, the ones with the big white dresses hanging everywhere, and I just don't think I can take that.

Oh, Alice.

As if on cue, there was a knock on the door and I could feel my heart sink into my stomach. "Come on in, Alice." I said, wearily, closing the book in my lap.

It was then that I noticed the sent- not the sickly sweet vampire sent, but the husky, woodsie werewolf sent... Seth? Weird.

The door opened and I gasped.

Not Seth...

"Sam?" I gasped, slightly. I hadn't seen Sam in over three months. I really try not to see him at all, but... it's hard. You know, well, wolves.

"Hey, Leah." He said, slinking inside... Behind him was his youngest son, Ralph.. The only time I'd seen him was at the hospital... He had been seventeen for fifteen years. His eyes were pale green just like his mother's and his hair was dark brown.. He didn't really look like Sam at all.

Ralph looked at me once, his eyes bugged out, and then he quickly adverted his eyes so he was staring at something just above my head.

WHAT?! What's going on?

"Expecting someone else?" Sam asked, flopping down on the couch in front of me. "Like Alice Cullen?" He asked, flashing me one huge smile.

"Yeah.." I murmured, eyeing his son. He sat down on the couch beside his dad and looked anywhere but at me.

He was a wolf, of cores.. He was huge, and his presence frightened me. I couldn't help but wonder if he knew about Sam and me... before.

But that was a dumb question, of cores he knew. He was a wolf. He could hear his dad's thoughts.

"Huh." Sam murmured, looking at the book that was sitting right beside me. "I don't like you getting so close to the vamps.. It worries me."

"Alice won't hurt me." I told him, frowning. "She's my only friend."

"Really?" He asked, eyeing me curiously.

"Yeah, really."

"Huh." He murmured, frowning deeply over at me. "Ralph.. Go outside. You are kind of freaking her out." Sam told his son.

Ralph nodded and ran out of the room, looking relieved. "What was that about?" I asked.

"No idea." Sam answered, looking out the door after his son. "He's been acting strange for weeks now.. He insisted on coming with me today, though."

"Any real reason your here? I mean Alice would not think this outfit acceptable for shopping." I told him, gesturing to my jeans and the sweat shirt I had thrown on this morning.

"I see.. I was sent by Jacob to find out for Seth if you are coming to the wedding." He responded, not looking me in the eye. Instead, he stared at the bookshelf behind me.

"Yes. In fact, Alice is coming over to drag me shopping for a new dress." I told him, with a frown.

"Dragging?!" Alice said, walking through the door with a huge frown on her face.

I sent her a pleading look and she nodded with a smile.

"Ah. Well, great. See you then, and have fun shopping." Sam said with a smirk. He stood up and left.

"What's up with the littlest Uley?" Alice sang.

"I have no idea." I responded, hopping up to go change.

"You better go change.. Nice choice by the way." She said, beaming at me. "You've learned well."

I laughed at her and skipped off to change. Alice somehow always made me feel better.

Short first chapter.. Sorry. And sorry to anyone who has been waiting for a chapter of any of my old stories and hasn't gotten one in a month or so.. I got bored with it.

Oh... What's wrong with Ralph?!

Hehe. I know.

*NOTE* Ralph is of no real relation to Leah. This is not Emily's son.. :) Just thought you should know. ! :)
