Here's the story of Leah, her resurrection after the heartbreak and how she finds love again. I have a lot planned for this story, and I can't wait to post it. *excited like a pup* M for language, for now.

Summary:

When the world as you know ceases to exist and fear creeps up your neck until you can't breathe, those you have learned to trust and love, leave you bleeding on the ground and turn their back on you and you're denied the right to know why, you don't have much of a choice than blame yourself and hate your very existence; but little do you know that knowing the truth could be much worse than being left in the darkness of ignorance.


The truth about love is it's blood, and it's guts
Purebreds and mutts
Sandwiches without the crust
It takes your breath, cause it leaves a scar
But those untouched never got never got very far
It's rage and it's hate
And a sick twist of fate
And that's the truth about love

-The truth about love, Pink


Chapter 1: When she gets furious

67 fucking days have passed since that day.

The day when I learned that I was an utter fool and love is nothing but a death trap that engulfs anybody that is foolish enough to step into it.

The day Sam fucking Uley left me and started his blissful life with Emily fucking Young.

The said Sam and Emily once used to be my boyfriend/almost fiancé and cousin/best friend but not anymore. They are nothing more than a memory now; they are in the past and buried.

The funny thing is I didn't ask for any of this; Sam asked me out first, he followed me like a lost pup until I'd say yes, he confessed his love first and at last dumped in the pouring rain so he could date my cousin Emily. Well, at least dramatic effect of the pouring rain wasn't his fault; if he'd waited for a sunny day to break up with me, he'd have had to wait forever in this fucking town, where you can count the sunny days of a year with your fingers.

Emily was family. She was the closest thing I had to a sister and every time I think about how she had agreed to be Sam's girlfriend, my blood boils with agony that only revenge could quench.

She didn't agree right away to date Sam though. She resisted -or so it seemed- to Sam's incessant pleading and begging to accept him. It seemed pathetic of him, in contrast to the Sam I knew; Sam who was stubborn and had a backbone.

But then one day she got attacked by a bear and hospitalized, the next thing I know is that the whole town's whispering about how Emily and Sam are an item. If only I could find that fucking bear….

Like how every gossip is sewed with a bunch of lies to hold enough attention, they were rumors that Emily and I had a fight and this relationship was a payback. But my family knew very well that wasn't the case.

Emily and I never fought. Not until I heard she agreed to be his girlfriend. Sam and I never fought before either. Well sometimes, may be over the remote or something as silly as that. So I guess he didn't dump me because of any feud that cropped up between me and him.

But Emily and Sam fought. When Emily was still my sister, every time she met Sam she fought with vigor I never knew she had, for breaking up with me over her. I was pretty proud of her for her temper. I felt loved when she stood up for me.

And one day she goes out of her way and agrees to be his girlfriend, leaving me heart broken and wretched.

Now here I am, driving to my home after work, very dull and gloomy as I have ever been.

A lot of aggression have been brewing in me lately that I am sometimes afraid that I might lose myself into this ocean of hatred.

I try to take my mind off the never-ending inner monologue/internal bitching of Sam and turn on the radio. I tune into random stations and caught my favorite song, which so happens to be fitting to my life right now.

The truth about love comes at 3am
You wake up fucked up and you grab a pen
And you say to yourself
I'm gonna figure it out, I'm gonna crack that code
Gonna break it break it down
I'm tired of all these questions
And, now it's just annoying
Cause, no one has the answer
So I guess it's up to me
To find the truth about love
As it comes, and it goes
A strange fascination with his lips and toes
Morning breath, bedroom eyes on a smiling face
Sheet marks rug burn, and a sugar glaze
The shock and the awe that can eat you raw
If the truth about love

I sing along with chorus part and my voice fills in my small confinement of my Peugeot 308.

I think it just may be perfect
You're the person of my dreams
I never ever ever ever been this happy
But now something has changed
And The Truth About Love is it's all a lie
I thought you were the one, and I hate goodbyes

I pulled over in front of my home and climbed the porch steps. As I reached the top one, I hear my parents fighting over something. It must be about me, as it has been so lately. Another day in heaven, I think to myself.

"You CANNOT tell her Harry!" my mom screamed at my dad.

My dad, ever the patient one, replies calmly, "Rather us than anyone else, Sue"

Oh this gotta be interesting.

I open the door and confront them myself. Mom seems to be worried and dad, as though he is preparing himself to do something he had to, against his better judgement; the kind of look he had when he told me my dog Pebbles, died 3 and half years before.

"Leah", dad says.

"Dad, what's up? I heard your very enlightening conservation", I say with heavy sarcasm, more out of habit. "So please tell me what's going on?" I ask with exasperation dripping into my voice. This is not the first time they hold information back, `to spare my feelings', and this is not the first time I beg them to spit it out.

"Leah, honey" My dad calls and looks me in the eye for a few seconds, almost contemplating if he'd made the right choice. I lets out a long breathe and continues.

"Sam and Emily got engaged today"

And that was the final straw. I snapped and did something I'd forever regret.


I know you guys already know what happens next. Probably the first couple of chapters go according to the original story but later on my imagination takes over.

Please leave a review.
