THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OF YOU WHO REVIEWED LAST CHAPTER … TO THOSE WHO DIDN'T PLEASE REVIEW I REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING …
LEAH
As I looked at the framed picture of Sam and I that rested right on my night stand, I couldn't believe that he was graduating today, I was happy for him, he had worked so hard in order to get a scholarship and escape the Rez.
I would miss him of course, he was following Rachel Black's footsteps and moving to Seattle, my heart quenched at the thought of spending so much time away from him, but this had been his dream even before I had ever come into the picture, and I refused to be the reason for him to throw it all away.
I was determined to join him after I finished high school, I would follow him and continue to give myself to him, because I loved him, and I was willing to do anything for him.
"Leah, Mrs. Uley is here" my mother called from downstairs.
I got up quickly from my bed and looked at myself in the mirror, I looked decent. I grabbed my purse and hurried downstairs where Sam's mother was waiting for me, she had the biggest smile on her face as she gushed to my parents about how proud she was of Sam.
"Oh, hello Leah, you look beautiful, no wonder my son is so enthralled with you" she told me as I made my way to her and hugged her.
I laughed at her comment as I kissed my parent's goodbye and ran to the car, the ride to the school consisted of Mrs. Uley continuing to speak highly of Sam, while I nodded and laughed at her enthusiasm.
Truth was the whole graduation thing was bumming me out, it seemed like it was just one day closer before Sam would leave, and I wasn't ready to say good bye.
Once we arrived at the tribal school, I followed Mrs. Uley to our small gym, the gym was pretty packed by La Push standards at least, my face brightened and all my worries disappeared as I saw Sam enter the gym with his cap and gown, he looked so happy, as he blew a kiss In my direction.
His mother and I sat down and watched the whole ceremony while bouncing in our seats waiting for them to call Sam up to get his diploma, naturally he was last.
"Sam Uley" the principal announced.
I stood up alongside his mother and cheered as Sam took the diploma in his hands and looked straight us, showing off his stunning grin as he walked down the stairs and walked to his seat.
The graduates threw their caps in the air and celebrated as the entire gym erupted in applauses.
I was on my tippy toes trying to find Sam through the sea of people, his mother was clutching my hand as she pushed and shoved trying to find her son.
"Mom! Lee!" I turned to see Sam walking towards us, his mother let go off my hand and ran to him engulfing him in a tight hug.
He smiled sheepishly at me as he comforted his sobbing mother. "Oh, Sam I am so proud of you" she cried.
"Thank you mom" he told her as he released her and placed a kiss on her cheek.
His mother wiped away her tears "Oh, I am going to go get the car, meet me up front you two" she told us.
She walked away leaving Sam and I alone, we looked at each other for a while, both smiling so much I thought our cheeks would explode, with one large step, he took me in his arms and spun me around.
I giggled as he set me on my feet, he bent down and planted a gentle kiss on my lips "I couldn't have gotten here without you" he whispered in to my ear.
I smiled as I cupped his face in my hands "You would have accomplished all of this without me Sam. Don't underestimate your abilities to be great" I told him.
He pulled me up against his body "You make me feel great" he whispered huskily into my ear.
I laughed and pulled away from his hold, I grabbed his hand and led him outside "Your mother will be wondering what took us so long"
He chuckled as let go off my hand and wrapped his arms around my waist, walking behind me to his mother's car.
After the graduation, Sam and I went out on a celebratory dinner with his mother, don't get me wrong I loved Sam's mom, she was a strong woman in my eyes, she had raised Sam on her own after his good for nothing father abandoned them.
She was probably my second favorite woman in the world, right under my mother.
She had accepted me like I was already part of her family, I remember the first time Sam took me home and introduced me as his girlfriend, his mother had shrieked so loud I thought I had ended up partially deaf. She didn't stop rambling about how her and my mother had predicted it all along.
So like I was saying I was seemingly enjoying our little feast, but my insides were begging for some needed alone time with Sam. Especially because he kept rubbing my legs with his hand that rested discreetly under the table.
"So what are you to planning to do tonight?" his mother asked us.
Sam grinned at his mother while he gripped my thigh, I squeaked causing his mother to look at me like I had some sort of deficiency "Nothing much, mom, just hang out" Sam told her.
She shrugged, "Well as long as you two don't get in any trouble, then I don't mind" she told us.
After we finished dinner Sam dropped his mother at home and drove me down to the beach.
"You know what you were doing during dinner wasn't very nice" I scolded as I walked past him.
He chuckled as he scooped me up and carried me to our driftwood tree, he placed me on his lap and kissed my shoulder "I can't help the fact that you drive me crazy Lee-lee, I just can't get enough of you" he teased as he bit my shoulder blade.
I slapped his arm "Sam, be serious!"
His face burned into my mine as he took my face in his hands "Lee, I love you, and I am completely serious when I tell you that I am crazy for you, there is not a moment during the day when I don't think about you, about holding you and talking to you, don't ever think that what I say to you is not the truth"
I looked down "Sam, I am scared" I whispered.
He lifted my chin forcing me too look at him "Lee, please tell me what has you feeling like this?" he asked anxiously.
I looked away towards the ocean "I am scared about you leaving, I mean I have always hated those girls who are completely dependent on their boyfriends, but I am scared to be without you, I feel like you are going to take a part of me is going to be missing while you are gone" I looked down and fidgeted with the hem of my dress, ashamed of my weakness.
"Leah, please look at me"
I reluctantly looked up, his face somewhat blurry behind the tears that I was shedding "Lee, I know that the whole distance is going to be hard, but I know that our love is strong enough to endure it, and it's not like I am disappearing forever, I am going to come and visit you every weekend" he kissed my hands "We are going to make it"
I smiled at him as he stroked my face wiping away my tears "You promise you want fall in love with a prettier girl while you are in Seattle"
He chuckled "My eyes only see you babe"
I wrapped my arms around his neck "Good, because my dad and Seth will hunt you down"
He buried his face in the hollow of my neck and kissed it "You have nothing to worry about, unless I have something to worry about" he asked me as looked up at me with a pout.
I kissed his lips "You have absolutely no competition at the moment, but I will let you know if something comes up" I taunted.
He growled as he scooped me and ran towards the water "SAM! STOP!" I screeched.
"You asked for it Lee- lee" he shouted as he threw me into the ice cold water.
I felt his hot arms grab my waist and pull me up, grinding my body against his, my teeth where clattering from the cold water, Sam however looked completely at ease.
He kissed me and heat instantly poured through my body, his lips were scorching hot. I pulled away stunned realizing that every inch of his body seemed to be as hot as his lips.
"Sam, are you sick?" I stuttered.
He grinned "Of course, why?"
"You are really hot" I told him.
"Am I?" he winked.
I hit his arm "Sam, I mean temperature wise, you are burning up" I pointed out.
He shrugged "I feel fine, but let's get you out of this water before you get sick"
He carried me to the shore and placed me on the sand, I was shivering from the cold but once his arm draped over my shoulder the sudden heat from his body engulfed me.
As I looked up at him, I was flabbergasted by the fact that I had noticed that Sam had grown taller and his face seemed to have aged. I shook away my thoughts, realizing that I had been so caught up with his impending departure that I had failed to notice his changes.
"I love you Leah" he whispered as his eyes turned to me.
"I love you too Sam" I breathed.
His head bent down so that his lips could reach mine, he kissed me and shivered at his cool touch, especially because I was so damn cold, his hand trailed up my wet body as he moved his body so that he was hovering over me.
His lips left mine as they continued to indulge my body with its heat, warming my body up slowly.
His hands pulled up my dress, and then proceeded to pull down my panties, and I fumbled with his belt begging him to enter me, before my body exploded from desperation.
His hands grabbed my wrist and pulled them over my head as his kisses grew fiercer, I moaned as he finally slipped inside of me.
We lay on the sand blissfully holding each other, my legs were tangled with his, he stroked my hair as he we looked up at the stars that you could only appreciate if you lived in a small town that didn't hide them away.
"Sam, you won't leave me, right?" I asked him as my finger traced his chest.
"Leah, I promise to never leave you, I am going to be yours for the rest of my life, you can trust me I will never lie to you"
I sighed "Thank you"
Sam and I stayed at the beach for hours enjoying each other's company; we were of course interrupted by my parents and their curfew.
Sam drove me home and kissed me a very passionate good bye before going home.
My cheeks hurt so much when I got home, my dad was waiting for me on the couch completely asleep when I walked through the door.
I laughed as I walked up to his seat and kissed his forehead, his eyes fluttered open instantly "How was your night princess?" he asked me as he pulled me on his lap and hugged me.
I hugged him back "It was great daddy, I am so proud of him"
"Sam's a good boy princess, I know that I might seem a bit hostile towards him, but I can't help being over protective about my little girl"
I hugged him tighter "I know daddy, but you know that you and Seth will always be my number ones, right?"
He nodded as he kissed my cheek "I love you princess"
"I love you too dad, good night" I hugged him and went upstairs to my room but not before I talked to my little brother.
I knocked on his door and when he didn't respond I just walked in "Seth?" I called out, the only sounds answering me was his snoring.
I giggled as I tip toed towards him and kissed his forehead, "Love you Seth" I murmured in his ear.
He draped around my shoulder and with his eyes still closed pulled me down so that his mouth hovered over my ear "Love you too sis" he whispered.
I smiled as I left him to his dreams; my own sleep was peaceful that night, my dreams all revolving around my family and my future with Sam.
Of course my dreams were put to halt the next morning when I was woken up by my frantic mother "Leah, wake up!" she urged.
"Mom, what's wrong?" I asked her while I rub the sleep out of my eyes.
"Leah, Sam is missing"
