A/N: Ok I really should be working on my other stories but this idea came to me and just seemed to work. It is just kind of a drabble. Please, please, please review, because I really appreciate feedback.
There was a time that I and Sam were happy. There was a time I could and would write down Mrs. Sam Uley over and over again. I would write it in different fonts, in order to find out what I wanted on the wedding invitations. Of course that was back then, back when I knew I was going to marry him. That was pre-werewolf time.
I am looking through a box of high school stuff. The stuff that meant so much to me at one time. I guess deep down it still means something to me. The box has a lot of pictures and a lot of knickknacks. My yearbook is in it. The thing glares at me accusingly, as if I should have been looking at it every week. As if it wouldn't have caused a lot of pain.
With a deep breath I carefully take out the plain yearbook and look at it. It hasn't changed in the past few years, it is still deep brown leather, it still even has the sticker my best friend at the time, Audrey put on it. For a few seconds I just stare at it. Then slowly I open it. The pages are still bright and glossy, pages still have fingerprints on them. It hasn't changed at all. Surprisingly there is no dust on it even after all these years.
For some strange reason I want to laugh….and cry. It was all so incredibly simple back then. I wasn't a werewolf. And Sam wasn't imprinted and married to my cousin. Looking back it just seems like another world. My memories from back then are clouded and hazy now, other things have taken over.
I flip through the pages and sigh when I see my picture. Around my picture is a border of hearts. Sam had been the one that had drawn them and you could tell it was a guy had drawn them. I trace my fingers over the hearts. It was a good thing that I had I just found this, if I had found it before now I would have destroyed it.
I go to the next page and Sam's picture is there. Emily and I had drawn the words Mister Right around his picture. I had drawn a small border of hearts to frame his picture too. Once again this was before Emily was married to my ex. On the next page there is Seth and Jake. There pictures make me laugh, they both look so scrawny! Jake's hair is still long then and Seth looks like a five year old in 13 year olds clothes.
What I see next hurts the most. The picture is of me and Sam. To be exact, me and Sam kissing. Above our picture is a banner and written in script is Love Birds of the Year (Most likely to get married) Clearly they had no idea about the horrors of imprinting then. Because if they did they would not have printed that.
I feel my eyes stinging and I let out a whimper. I refuse to cry over him. I don't need to anymore. I am over him now. It just hurts to see that. To be forced to relive the moments so far gone into the past. I take a deep breath and try to calm down.
I see clearly again and let out a sharp sigh. Once again I take a deep breath. I go back to the page with Jake and take out a pen. With a smirk I sketch simple hearts around his picture. I leave the page with me and Sam alone. I also leave he border of hearts around his picture untouched. In short the only thing I change is Jake's picture.
After changing that I close the yearbook. It was ok to look back in the past but I needed to look to the present. I hear the door open downstairs and hear Jake call out "Leah, where are you? We are going to be late!" I let out a laugh, put the book back into the box and run downstairs. I lunge at Jake and kiss him. The boy looks shocked at my affection but shrugs it off. "Love you Jake" "Love you too Leah"
A picture of us was never in the yearbook but we are the real lovebirds now.
A/N: Well, what did you think? Review please!
