LEAH'S POV

The green morning light was what woke me up that morning.. And the first thing I noticed was that his arms weren't around me. I was alone. I sat up and looked around the room. Nothing. I looked down at my hand, where the ring was in place.. I was sure that if it hadn't been, I wouldn't have been able to believe that the past few months had happened..

I changed out of my pajamas and into a light pink sundress, pondering that thought.

The last few months had been sorrel. Unbelievable.. And it was true that if I hadn't had that one sign that it was all real, I wouldn't have believed. I wouldn't believe that the legends were real. I wouldn't believe that vampires or were wolves really existed. I wouldn't believe that Sam could imprint on me... This one symbol was the only thing keeping me from not believing. It was too... I don't know. I don't know a word to describe it..

I walked down the stairs and found mom sitting at the kitchen table talking on the phone.

"Oh, that's great." She told the person on the other end of the line. "See you then." She hung up the phone and smiled at me.

"Hey, mom. Who was that?" I asked.

"Hey, sweetie. That was your Aunt Bridget." She told me. I felt my face light up.. "They are coming up here for a few days." She told me.

"They are?" I asked.

"Yeah." She told me, watching my face turn from blissful to joyful...

"When?" I asked.

"They will be here tomorrow."

"Yay." I stated.

"Yeah, I knew you would be happy. I didn't tell them the good news... I thought you might want to tell them."

"Yeah. Thanks mom."

I skipped breakfast, because I was suddenly to exited to eat. I ran up the stairs and flopped down on my bed..

My scrapbook, the one Sam had made for me, was sitting on my nightstand.. I pulled it over to me and smiled down at the pictures...

RING, RING, RING.

My phone's harsh ring had startled me out of my memories, but after a moment I pulled it out of my nightstand. I smiled when I saw his name.. Sam Uley calling.

"Sam." I breathed..

"Leah, are you alright?" He begged.. His tone worried me.

"Yeah, I'm great. What's wrong?" I asked, worried.

"Leah. I need you to stay in your house. Don't leave.. There are vampires out there. We're going to take care of it as fast as we can, but I need you to promise me that you'll stay in the house; that you won't leave for any reason." He begged me.

"I promise. I won't leave." I promised, panic spreading through me.

"Thank you." He hung up and I felt the tears run down my face.. .

I sank into a worried depression after that and I must have fallen asleep, because I woke up groggy around five in the afternoon... I smelled dinner and realized I was hungry; I hadn't had breakfast or lunch..

I stood up and looked down at myself. My sundress was wrinkled and my hair a mess... The dress would be fine, but I pulled my hair elastic out of my hair. I pulled it back into a knot and then walked out of my open door. As I walked down the stairs, I heard voices and almost fell down the stairs when I heard Emily's voice.

"Emily!" I called as I walked into the living room. . . She ran to me and hugged me.

"Leah." She said, smiling.

"I've missed you." I told her.

"Oh, I've missed you, too."

"I thought you wouldn't get here until tomorrow."

"We got here early... I couldn't wait."

"Oh, yay." I turned into the living room and saw Aunt Bridget and Uncle Vincent sitting on the couch watching us. My dad was sitting in chair with my mom sitting on it's arm. I ran over to them and hugged them.

"Hey, Lee-Lee." Uncle Vincent said.

"Hey, Uncle Vincent."

"What's going on with you?" He asked. I looked over at my parents, as I sat down on the ground in front of them. I heard Emily silently sit down beside me... My mom nodded.

"Well... I'm getting married." I told them, raising my hand up.

"You're getting married?" Aunt Bridget asked.

"Yeah." I answered.

"Oh my God." Emily said. "To who?" She asked.

"You know Sam? I mean you've never met him... But you have heard about him.. Him." I told her.

"Well, when do we get to meet this boy?" Uncle Vincent asked.

"I'm not sure." I told him.

The door bell rang.

"Leah, can you get that?" My mom asked.

"Yeah." I said, standing up and walking out of the living room. I knew Emily was fallowing me.

"Okay, Leah. You are getting married to Sam?" She clarified. I nodded as I walked through the hallway and stood in front of the door. "When?" She asked.

"I'm not sure... I mean he only promised on Christmas day. It hasn't been that long." I told her.

"Oh."

I opened the door, and Sam was standing there. He ran up and hugged me. "I got them." He whispered in my ear. He let me go and then saw Emily standing in beside me.

"Sam, this is my cousin Emily." I told him. "Emily, this is my Sam." I told her.

"Hey, Sam."

He smiled warmly at her. "Hello, Emily." He said.

"Where's Seth?" I asked. "I thought he would be with you."

"Um.. He stayed behind. Some of the guys needed to mange the fire." He told me.

"Okay..."

"I'll tell you later." He promised.

"Okay, come on in." I took his hand and lead him into the living room.

Now this day is perfect.
