S'up! Another one-shot about Leah and Sam. It's based on the song Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson. Enjoy! Please.
Already Gone
Sam looked at his ex-girlfriend for what he knew was the last time. Leah was dying. Leah was dying from cancer. The doctors said that there was nothing they could to help Leah and she will be dying anytime now. For no known reason, Sam was crying and he barely ever cried. Leah noticed him and gestured him to come closer. He did. He smelt her peachy shampoo in the air. He sobbed harder. Leah told him to hush and to listen to what she had to say. He nodded.
"Sam, you know that I have cancer, right?"
"Yes..."
"And that I am about to die, right?"
"Yeah...."
"Well, don't worry. I'll be OK."
"No you won't! You're gonna die. HOW are you going to be OK!?!"
"Sam, please."
"NO."
"I'm fine. Please just listen to me."
"Fine."
Leah smiled. She turned on her iPod and pressed play.
Remember all the things we wanted?
Now all our memories, they're haunted
"Remember when we wanted to get married? Remember when we said that our wedding was to be the most gorgeous thing that would ever happen in La Push? Remember when you said that we were going to have 6 beautiful children together? Well, now we can't and our memories are just killing us."
We were always meant to say good-bye
"I guess you and I, Sam, were never supposed to be together."
Even with our fist held high, yeah
It never would've worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die
"No matter how much we fight it, no matter how much I love you, we can't ever be together ever again."
I didn't want us to burn out
I, didn't come here to hurt you, now I can't stop
"I didn't want to let us go and I didn't get cancer just to watch you suffer. I love you. I really do and it doesn't matter to me if you don't love me back."
I want you to know, that it doesn't matter, where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
"Look, no matter if I deny it now or later, I have got to leave you, let you live your life freely, without me holding you back."
And I want you to know, you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
"Sam, you couldn't have loved me better, really. No one else loved me as well as you did. But I want you to start a life with Emily, so I'm gonna leave."
Looking at you makes it harder
But I know you'll find another
That doesn't always make you wanna cry
"Everytime I look at you with her, it's so hard to let you go, but I'm gonna keep trying because she makes you happy, and I really just want you to be happy."
Started with a perfect kiss then
We can feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
"Even in the beginning, when we were together, I knew it was too good to last. No matter what you and I do, in the end, we wouldn't have been able to be together."
I want you to know, that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
"Please, just let me go Sam. You have to get this, no matter if I live or not, I can't still be part of your life."
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone
"You were, are, and always will be the best thing that has ever happened to me. My time with you was the best and I wouldn't trade it for anything else in the whole world, but now, it's Emily's turn."
Already gone, already gone, already gone, yeah
Remember all the things we wanted
Well, all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say good-bye
"Remember all the things we had been through? When you disappeared? When you came to take me to the prom? When I broke my leg and you missed your soccor game just so you could stay home with me? Even though we have been through SO much together, destiny didn't want us together."
I want you to know, that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
"Sam, please, don't cry, for me. I know you love me, and I love you too, but your love for Emily is stronger, and you've just gotta listen to your heart. Please Sam, don't make my last few minutes hard for me. Make Emily happy. Remember, even if I'm gone, I'll always be with you, forever. When you are in doubt, look up at the stars. You will find me cheering you on. When you need help, go to the ocean and listen to the cries; you will find me giving you advice. When you are sad, think of all the times we have had together and you will be happy. And when you are happy, go to my grave and tell me why you're happy. You'll feel me giving you a hug and a kiss. Remember Sam, even if I'm not here, I'm here.
But I want you to move on
"Good-bye Sam. I'm gone for now, but I'll always love you."
So I'm already gone
And with the last few words being sung, Leah's heartbeat slowed down, until finally, it stopped. Leah was dead. Sam held on to her hand while silent tears ran down his face. When Emily came in, she knew at once that Leah had died, and she left Sam to his dead for a while. He didn't leave Leah for two days. Finally, Emily had to dragged Sam to the car and drove him home. At the funeral, Sam slipped a note in Leah's hand before they closed the lid.
Lee-Lee, I love you. Forever and always.
Forever, Sam
Sam brushed away tears as he sang a verse of his ex-girlfriend's favourite song.
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach back to the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh, darling, I wish you were here
