Chapter 1 - Leah's point of view.

"I love you lee-lee" he whispered. I looked into his deep brown eyes, and reached up too kiss his soft lips. He smiled and put his hand through my long dark hair. We led across La push beach like every Sunday afternoon, the sun glistening off his black shaggy hair, I had the perfect view of his face, his features were so perfect, he had the most amazing strong jaw line and beautiful tanned skin, his body was soft and warm, If I could of led here for hours making a list of every perfect thing on Sam's body I could and I would.

"You know I love you right?" he asked, his eyes were full of concern now, as if he honestly thought I didn't believe him. I smiled, but noticed he was deadly serious. His face was fixed on mine waiting for my response.

"Of course I know, silly billy" I touched his smooth burning skin with my finger tips, and saw his beautiful shaped lips curve into a slow smile. It almost looked like he had to force the smile as if he didn't really want it too be there. He noticed my curiosity at once and leaned down too kiss me, he knew I was ready to ask what was wrong, and he knew I could always tell when he was lying. I didn't care now, our lips were moving together passionately. I wanted so much for this kiss too last forever, these were the types of kisses Sam knew I couldn't resist the kisses where I wanted to do things which are obviously not allowed on a public beach.

"Do you want too.. Er.. maybe.. come to my house? My Mom and Dad are out, Seth's out I think, but its up to you?" Ugh I sounded so desperate. This was something he usually asked, but it was never In my house, I very rarely had a empty house for that. Sam lived with just his Dad, his dad left his Mom when Sam was just a kid. So his house was almost always empty, His dad was an alcoholic, so he was either at the pub or passed out on the sofa. I knew it annoyed Sam, but he would never talk about it.

"Not tonight" he answered. What was so different about tonight? He turned away from me and led on his back his hands resting behind his head. He didn't look at me, but I knew he felt my eyes on him.

"Why? is there someth..-" Sam interrupted as soon as he noticed what I was going to say.

"Come on lets get you home" He grabbed my hand and walked silently across the beach, not looking at me or showing any affection at all. I wanted to ask him what was wrong, why he was being like this with me all of a sudden. But I knew it wasn't worth it, and he would tell me if it was something bad. We walked in silence for another five minutes and then we reached my house. He finally looked at me, and again struggled a smile.

"Are you sure you don't want to come in? They have all gone to Seattle for the night, visit the family you know" My Mom and Dad had left me to babysit Seth for the night, I could of gone but I knew I would miss Sam, I couldn't deal with that. Sam looked at my house, and then back at my face. He stroked my cheek and leaned down for a kiss, I knew then that that was a No.

"I can't, I have stuff to do, I'll call you" That wasn't a good sign.

"Okay.. well, I love you"

"Love you too" and then he was gone, he was running, he must have been in a rush, it seemed as if he was gone before I had time to even blink. Something was changing, I didn't know what and I didn't know why, but I could feel it, this wasn't the Sam I had fell in love with.
