Sam's P.O.V:

It had been a few days since Will and i had nearly kissed and i hadn't been able to talk to her properly since it happened. I had seen her a few times whilst out and about and we had exchanged pleasantries before she normally left with either her dad or brother and every time i saw Billy give me a sorry look. But i could understand why she was doing this, i mean she didn't want to hurt Leah and that's perfectly fine.

Apart from the fact that i know to stop Leah from hurting she's hurting herself instead and that really doesn't sit well with me and it makes me angry to think that she's hurting. The imprint wanted me close to her and i really wanted to be close to her, after being able to talk to her and laugh with her for two weeks it made me see how brilliant and perfect she is. And now i feel like a massive part of me is missing because i can't be near her because she is too loyal to Leah.

Right now i was sat on my bed having just woken up after getting a couple of hours of extra sleep seeing as i had been running patrol before i met with the council last night to discuss the Cullen's. They had told me they would be living in Forks permanently for the next couple of years and hunting on animals instead of humans. They had then reminded me of the treaty which stated that as long as they didn't bite another human then we couldn't cross the borderline between Forks and La Push and neither could they.

But their permanent stay also meant that a lot more wolfs were expected to phase in the next three years or so and they had given me a brief idea about who they thought would be most likely to shift. Jacob and Quil were obvious choices since Jacob's grandfather was a chief and Old Quil said his grandfather had shifted too. Then there was also Paul Lahote whose father came from a family almost as old as the Black's in our tribe as well as Jared Cameron. Harry had also expressed his worries about Seth but he told me he doubted Seth would phase until he was about 17 anyway so he still had a couple of years yet.

I was glad at the thought that i wouldn't have to deal with all of this on my own but i didn't like the idea that there would be guys younger than me having to deal with this kind of stuff. So i had decided to try and sleep to calm me down and try not to think about Will. But that didn't end too well when it turs out i ended up dreaming about our future together and i woke up wanting nothing more than to see her, even if i didn't talk to her, just to see her and make sure she was okay. That would be enough for me.

I was wearing just a pair of denim shorts when i walked into the kitchen to get some coffee and try and wake myself up. I looked around my small kitchen and that's when i spotted a letter on the table that should have been for Billy and i was confused. It's not like La Push is actually big enough for people's letters to get sent to the wrong house. I decided i would drop it off at his later and hopefully i would be able to see Will there too and maybe even have a conversation with her.

I was looking through my stacks of DVD's searching for something to watch when i heard a knock at the door and i stood up confused. Nobody really comes around mine and it can't have anything to do with the council because i always get a call from either Harry or Billy about that. So i walked over to the door coffee cup in hand.

When i opened the door and saw Will stood there though i couldn't help but smile and figure out what had happened. I'm guessing Billy had had the letter sent here and said i called and asked for somebody to come and pick it up for him. May the spirits bless that man, i was going to have to find some way to thank him for all that he was doing for me.

I saw Will smile up at me and push her glasses up her nose and i felt myself grin down at her. She looked beautiful like she always does and i had missed her so much that i just wanted to hug her and never stop but i decided against that since it might creep her out. The best part though was that she looked happy to see me and like she really wanted to see me instead of just being here because her dad had asked her to. And that made my dad hell it made my week!

"Hey Will." I said still smiling and taking in her beauty which caused her to blush slightly and i loved it when she did that. It was something i had never seen her do before.

"Hey Sam, still not sleeping?" She asked with a smile as she looked down at my coffee as i stepped back and let her into the kitchen/dinning room area then closing the door behind her. I watched as she dropped her keys on the counter and leaned against it to face me and she was so comfortable here. I liked that she felt at home here and it made me wish that she would call this place her home one day.

I shrugged my shoulders in response. "No i'm sleeping, just trying to wake up from a nap. I was gonna watch a film actually, feel like joining me?" I asked watching her and hoping she would agree because i really wanted to spend some more alone time with her even if we did sit in silence for the whole film.

I watched as she looked down in thought for a moment before looking back up at me with a smile and nod of her head. "Yeah, it's been a while since we've hung out." She said and i knew it was only a few days but the imprint made it feel like so much longer because we weren't together. So then we went into the living room and i let her choose the film and she put on some action film that i knew we'd both seen before so we talked.

Willow's P.O.V:

For most of the film Sam and i had sat side by side and talked about all kinds of things and it was amazing getting to learn so much about him and i couldn't stop smiling the whole time that we were talking. And i couldn't miss the smile that hadn't left his face since i he had seen that it was me at his door earlier.

But for the last twenty minutes i had been paying attention as the fight scenes were on and i ended up leaning my head on Sam's shoulder and smiling when his arm went around my shoulders. I then cuddle closer to him when i realised just how warm he was and it was the kind of warmth that made you feel safe, protected and cared for. And for the first time i felt like this was where i was supposed to be, like i was supposed to be with Sam. And it was the first time that i didn't feel guilty about Leah.

When the film finished i sighed and cuddled a little closer to Sam and found that i fit perfectly into his side. When i looked up i saw that he was already looking down at me, his smile still in place. When i looked into his eyes i loved the feeling of not being able to look away and for once i was glad that i couldn't.

"Will," He murmured quietly.

I then sat up a little so that our faces were level and we were now a matter of inches away form kissing and i really wanted to kiss him this time. But my mind wasn't quite ready to give in yet. "Leah will be so hurt..." I trailed off trying to find a reason not to kiss him but in reality that wasn't even a good excuse anymore. I wanted, no, i felt like i needed to be with him now and it all seemed worth hurting Leah.

He shook his head as he leaned his forehead against mine whilst he spoke to me. "It's time you stopped protecting her and stopped hurting yourself Will." He then glanced at my lips before looking up into my eyes. "You deserve to be happy, you should do what makes you happy..." He trailed off towards the end.

But that was all he had to say because that cemented my decision in my mind. Something was drawing me to Sam and it was the most amazing feeling in the world to be with him like i was. And he was right, i had spent so long always making sure others were happy and it wasn't often that i actually stopped to think about my own happiness. I knew i would hurt Leah but it wasn't like i was planning on telling her for a while anyway and she was trying to move on anyway.

I then pushed my lips onto his warm ones as my hands held onto the back of his neck to keep him from pulling away. But with the way he kissed me back, i doubt that he had any thoughts about stopping the kiss. His arms wrapped around my waist pulling me as close to him as possible whilst we were sitting side by side on his sofa. We continued our little make our session for a while, eventually letting our tongues explore each others mouths.

But sadly we were both so focused on enjoying the kiss that we failed to hear the person knock on the door or actually enter the house until it was too late.

"WILLOW?!" We heard a shocked voice shout and i quickly pulled away and took my hands off Sam's neck but he didn't take his off my waist which really wasn't helping the situation. I looked up and saw a very angry and upset Leah stood facing us, hands on her hips and i was pretty sure steam was coming out of her ears.

I then pulled Sam's hands off my waist as i stood up to face Leah and i knew i looked guilty as sin which wasn't going to help my case at all. "Leah, please just let me explain-" I started only to be cut off by a cold laugh that i had only ever heard directed at others, never myself.

"Why should i? I trusted you! You're my best friend, my sister! I thought you were telling me to move on from him because it was what was best for me and that it would help me. But instead you were really saying all of those things to make sure that you and him could hook up without having to worry about me accidentally catching you two!" She screamed at me and i flinched back at the tone of her voice and that's when Sam stood behind me but i knew Leah. Nothing was going to stop her now and i was never going to be forgiven. "I can't believe i was ever stupid enough to trust you and think that you actually cared about me and my happiness. Well at least now i know, some best friend you are, but don't worry Willow because i never want to talk to you again!" She finished as she stormed out the house.

I followed close behind her. "Leah please just let me explain. LEAH!" I shouted when she just continued walking up the road and i felt like crying. I had just lost my best friend, over a guy...

I stood there for a few moments before going back into the kitchen where Sam stood, watching me, then grabbing my keys and heading out the door. I was just off the porch when i felt him grab my wrist and turn me back around so that i was facing him and i saw he looked hurt when i looked into his eyes. It made me want to cry even more now seeing that i had managed to hurt him when that was something that i never wanted to do if i could help it.

"Will please don't go, please." He begged my as i just kept looking at the floor.

But i just shook my head as i pushed my glasses back up. "I can't do this Sam, i knew i would hurt her." I told him in a quiet voice.

He sighed as he continued to watch me. "It doesn't matter Will, because for once you deserve to be happy and you shouldn't worry about anybody else now." He told me but that just made me even more angry and frustrated which was never a good thing.

I pushed away from him and scoffed. "Of course that's what you'd think Sam, you'd think of the selfish option." I shook my head and before i had thought the next sentence just flew out of my mouth. "You're just like your father Sam!" I shouted at him with all of the anger i had.

That's when i noticed that he was shaking quite bad and it sounded like he was growling. That's when i watched as he changed into what i think was a wolf but i was stood too close.

The next thing i knew was that i was laid on the floor in an immense amount of pain and i could feel a lot of blood on my chest and torso. I wanted to scream, to cry out from the pain but i couldn't, i think i went into shock or something. I remember seeing Sam looking like he was ready to cry above me and then i think i passed out or something.
