Leah's POV:

I left the Cullen's house at around three in the afternoon. It hurt to have to walk away from Emmett, but I told myself that I would see him tomorrow. That was when I would have to tell him that I imprinted on him. I was nervous, but excited.

Nervous, because I didn't know how he would take it. I had no idea how he would feel about me, or if he even liked me at all. I felt like I was in sixth grade again. I was tempted to have a friend ask him what I needed to know. But I knew that was immature, and decided to do it the old fashioned way.

I was excited, because then everything would be out in the open. Emmett would know his options and we would go from there. But, that brought us back to why I was nervous. It might not turn out well.

I shrugged off the feeling of anticipation and phased back to my human form. I walked a few feet and into Emily's house. Sam was there, and they were all over each other. Kissing and hugging. They had no clue that I was even there. But, I realized, it didn't bother me anymore. I didn't care what they did. In fact, I was sort of happy for them.

I cleared my throat, and Sam spun around to look at me. His eyes widened, and he took two very large steps away from Emily. She knew all of what had happened in the past couple days and reached over to grab his hand. He looked confused.

"It's okay, Sam. Pretend like I'm not even here. Well, the way you two looked when I walked in, maybe you shouldn't." I laughed. Sam grinned and we all walked into the living room. I wanted to tell Sam before I told the rest of the pack.

"Sam, I have something very important to tell you. Please, keep an open mind." I warned. His expression turned wary, and he sat back in his chair.

"Spit it out, Leah." Uh oh. His alpha voice made an appearance. This wasn't going the way I had wanted it to.

"When we were at the Cullen's yesterday, and Edward pulled me outside, something happened a few minutes before that. I had gone up to check on Emmett. When he turned to look at me, I... I imprinted on him, Sam. I imprinted on a vampire." I said quickly. I peeked at Sam from under my bangs. His face was a deep red, about to turn purple. He was shaking and looked like he was about to phase. I stood up, grabbed him by the arm, and dragged him outside. If he hurt Emily again, he would never forgive himself.

"LEAH! HOW COULD YOU IMPRINT ON A VAMPIRE! ESPECIALLY THE STRONGEST ONE IN THE CULLEN CLAN?" Sam yelled. I cowered under his alpha tone. I got a hold of myself and stood tall, looking into his eyes.

"I don't know Sam. How could Jacob imprint on one? How could Quil imprint on a two-year-old? It just happens. Believe me, if I could control this it wouldn't have been him, but what's done is done. Let's get over it and move on, Sam." I said authoritatively. He was surprised that I was so calm.

"Well, what do you plan to do? Do you think you two could actually be together?" he snorted.

"Yeah, I do. I think that if he's willing to try, then we could. And I don't need your input to do it!"

"Whatever, Leah. Do what you want. But don't come crying to me or anyone else when it doesn't work out. Nobody wants to hear you whine." Sam said. I walked off in the other direction.

I was about two blocks from the house when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I spun around and saw Seth. He had a big grin plastered on his face, as usual. Good. I needed to be around people with a good attitude.

"What's up, Leah?"

"Nothin' much. How was your day?"

"Good. Now what are you hiding from me?" Seth asked, raising his eyebrows.

Seth always knew when I had a secret. I wasn't a good liar, and I wasn't good at faking facial expressions. I decided to cut right to the chase.

" I imprinted on Emmett Cullen." I said quickly. I cringed, awaiting a response like Sam's.

"Okay. Whatever." But then again, Seth always surprises me. I hugged him as tight as I could. He was the best brother in the world.

We walked the rest of the way home in silence. I was- no pun intended- dog tired and I longed for the warmth and comfort of my room.

I walked through the door and bee-lined to my bedroom door. I didn't want to go over every detail of my day with my mom. I loved her, but she was just too nosy.

I grabbed my Three Days Grace CD and turned on Never Too Late. I fell asleep to the lyrics and the steady rhythm. My dream would not help me with the next day.

*Dream*

I took the stairs two at at a time up to Emmett's room. I crossed my fingers and held my breath as I opened up his door. "Emmett?"

"Yeah?" he said, sitting on his bed. He was reading a magazine. I didn't want to just drop all of this on him without giving him a slight warning.

"Can we talk? It's important."

"Sure, Leah. What's wrong? I swear, I won't tell anybody. But, there is the Edward issue." he said, smiling.

"There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just put it out there. I imprinted on you, Emmett." I said.

"Ewww! I could never be with a wolf! Are you nuts?" Emmett yelled, walking out of the room with a disgusted expression.

And then I woke up.

*End of Dream*

Wow, thanks subconscious! What a confidence boost! I calmed myself down and thought about the situation rationally. Emmett was a nice guy. I would explain imprinting to him, and he would understand. Or at least that's what i told myself.

I pulled myself out of my bed. I wanted to look nice today and patrol started at 8:00. It was six. I had a lot to do, and not a lot of time to do it in.

I dashed to the bathroom and turned the shower on high. After I was done with that, I put on my tie- dye purple blouse, jean jacket, and flared jeans. I put my hair up in a half up, half down style. I put on mascara and purple eyeshadow. I thought that I had done a good job. I didn't want to phase, because then all of my work would have been for nothing. I took my mom's car and started the long drive to the Cullen's.

I thought about what I should say. I wouldn't just throw it out. I would explain imprinting to him first. Hopefully then he would get that it wasn't voluntary and I didn't want this to happen. Yeah, that's what I would do.

I drove along the twisted road to the Cullen's driveway. When their house came into view, I started panicking. I took deep breaths and tried to get rid of the need to throw up. Here goes nothing.

I climbed out of my car and jogged up the stairs. I said hi to Bella and played with Renesmee for a few minutes. I didn't want anyone to be suspicious. Then I snuck up the stair case and to the first door on the left. Emmett's room.

I stood straight and tried to look confident. I tapped on the door hinge and peeked through the crack in the door. Emmett smiled at me, and motioned for me to come in.

"What's up, Lee?" he asked. I loved that he already had a nickname for me. We had become friends within the last week. It made me wonder if he felt the pull of the imprint, too. I had asked Emily about that, and she said that she had. That might make things easier on me.

"Nothin'. I just wanted to tell you something. It's kind of important." He frowned and nodded for me to go on. Then I remembered that there were quite a few vampires down stairs that were probably listening to us right now.

"You want to go somewhere?" he asked. Sometimes he almost convinces me that he's the mind reader.

"Yeah. Let's go."

We took his jeep to the nearest park. No one was there, because it was supposed to rain soon.

"Emmett, I'm not sure how to tell you this." I muttered, looking at my shoes.

"You can tell me, Leah. I'll understand, whatever it is." Yeah, sure. He said that now, but he had no idea how big this was.

"When werewolves meet their soul mate, they imprint. When they imprint, gravity isn't holding them to the ground, it's that one person. That person is their world and they would do anything and be anything for them." I explained. Emmett looked confused.

"Well, what are you saying? What does that have to do with me, or anything, really?" he asked.

"I imprinted... on you." I felt tears behind my eyelids.

We were both silent for a long time.I glanced at him from under my eyelashes. He was dumbstruck. I couldn't tell how he was going to take it in the end. It was his call now.

"Leah, I can't do this. Rosalie just died. I just... can't." he said. Then he shook his head and walked away. I watched him get in his jeep. He took one last look at me, with a pained expression, then drove away.

And that's when I let the pain pull me under into a waterfall of tears.

I am soooooooo sorry guys! I'm an awful person. I've had a lot going on lately, and I won't get into that. I'll just say it's been hectic. I'll try to update more often, but school's starting soon, so I might not have a lot of time to update. Please bear with me. Updates will come, just not on a daily basis, or sometimes weekly. Anyway, I hope you guys liked this. I hope it was worth the wait. And since she's given my story publicity, you guys should go read donna79's story The Best Friend Finally Gets the Girl. I beta for it and it is a really good story. You guys'll like it. Review please!
