Sam's Point of View
Chapter 4
I looked over at Emily, lying asleep in my arms… She was so beautiful, and I loved her deeply. But I felt awful for doing what I have done to Leah. She was my first love, and I still love her. But I imprinted on Emily. I broke her heart.
Now Leah was gone. She left and Jake is angry. He won't even talk to me… The last words he said to me were, "You made my Bata leave!" and that was true. It's my fault that Leah had left her home, her only family, and the few friends she had.
My heart was heavy, with guilt so I touched Emily's unscarred cheek. Her skin was so silky smooth and I smiled at her. "I love you." I whispered in her ear.
Her eyes fluttered a bit, but she didn't wake. I really should go home. I thought to myself..
I kissed her cheek and then slipped out from under her.
I slipped out the window and ran home to find an envelope on my bed. There was no return address; there was no name other than mine on the outside.
I opened it, and found three pieces of paper. I could tell that they had been pulled out of a spiral bound notebook, from the little rip on the otherwise tidy edge.
As I unfolded the papers, I sighed knowing who this would be from. Leah.
Dear Sam Uley,
I stopped writing so suddenly last time, because I couldn't write anymore in La Push. I wanted to send it, so I'm continuing now.
This won't be the last thing I send to you. There will be more. I hope you are enjoying our could have been story. And I hope you and Emily are happy…
Love Always,
Leah
I ran my fingers through my hair and then dropped the letter on the ground. I turned to the next page and looked down the page.. This page was written in pencil, unlike the letter that was written in purple ink. I could see the tear stains on this sheet of paper, so I knew that she had only got a hold of herself in time to write the letter.
I smiled at him, my eyes sparkling. "Hey, Sam."
He took my hand and smiled at me. "You look beautiful, Leah." He told me, pulling me out to the car.
"Oh, thanks, Sam. You look quite handsome yourself." I told him, kissing his cheek before I sat down in his car.
He walked around the car to sit beside me chuckling. "Thanks." He said, turning on the car and pulling out of the driveway.
"Where are we going?" I asked, looking at him curiously.
"Well. I thought we would have a pick nick on the beach." He said, smiling at me.
"Sounds nice." I said, looking out the window. I loved the beach. It was the perfect place for a date.
"I thought so." He said, laughing at my expression. Sam knew me so well. Everything from my favorite place to be (his arms) to my biggest fear (losing him).
He drove silently, until we got to the beach and he smiled over at me, before getting out and walking swiftly around the car to open my door. He took my hand when I was out and then opened the backseat, pulling out a basket before closing the door again.
"Let's go." He said, pulling me into the sand. We walked until we were a few feet from the water and then he sat the basket down and opened it. He pulled out a blanket and I helped him spread it out on the sand.. I sat down first and pulled my shoes off. Sam smiled at me, before sitting down beside me and opening his basket. I was sort of scared. He wasn't the best cook. I laughed quietly to myself and he looked at me, specialty.
"What?" He asked me, pulling a couple sandwiches and then two bags of chips out of the basket, fallowed by a couple of bottles of water.
"Nothing." We were safe. He could make a sandwich.

We lay there, looking up at the dark sky my head on his chest and his arms around me.
"Hey, Leah?" He asked, playing with my hair.
"Yeah?" I responded, smiling at the warmth that seemed to radiate from his skin.
"Will you go to prom with me?" He asked, and I could hear the smile that was playing on his face.
"Yeah." I said, looking up at his face.
"Yay." He said, and kissed me. "Love you, Lee-Lee." He whispered against my lips.

So. This chapter was shorter than the last one, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway. :)
Yep. They're going to prom… So, we'll meet back here for that.
… REVIEW. It'll make me update faster. It really will.. This isn't my favorite fanfic I'm working on now, so it might get left behind. So, it's up to you to keep me writing. You see if I know people are reviewing, and wanting to read more then I feel slightly obligated to write. :)
I swear I am trying to remember to review at the end of a chapter when I read a fanfic, now that I know how it really does keep a writer writing and well it's just a nice thing to do. I'm in a bad habit of reading a chapter and then just moving on the next chapter or the next fanfic on my list, then I get mad when the writer doesn't update soon… :) I'm working on that. I promise. No I swear.
Till next time, this is Leah4Life sighing off (actually I'm about to work on my other fanfic!).
