Leah's Point of View (Cause we LOVE Leah!)
The small town thing is amazing.
Sam and Emily are getting married.
Ron and I are getting married.
Those are the facts…
Then, when you think about it, and you can't help but laugh.
Emily is my cousin, and so soon Sam'll be in the family.
My mom and Charlie are dating (weird…) and if they get married, that would make Bella in the family… In turn that would make the whole Cullen family part of ours. Leeches, dogs, and pale faces… That's our big family.
Then you think about Jake. Jake is going to be with Rennessme, and she will already be his distant cousin or something. That won't stop him, I know it won't. It's just weird.
The lines are blurring- the lines between enemies and friends. They have been blurring for a long time, but now they seemed to disappear. No more boundaries.
Even me, the girl who hated the leeches, now was feeling it. I could feel myself warm up to them.
Alice and Bella were actually my only real girl friends (I didn't say human girl, just girl, but even if I counted humans, they would make the cut.). Esme was nice, she had a good heart…Even Rose, didn't seem as awful. Emmett was really cool, I wouldn't mind him being part of the family. He was funny (in a I like to torture my family kind of way…). Jasper, well Jasper still scares me. I don't know why, but just the way he is. He is quiet, and watches us. Sometimes he would comment on our emotions. Edward Cullen ticked me off, talking to me about my thoughts as if I had said them aloud. I know it must being confusing hearing voices in his head, but it drove me crazy when he did that. Carlisle was smart and I had never really disliked him. He helped us too much… Like when Jake got hurt, and it was pretty much my fault.
Yeah. Leah Clearwater has gotten soft. I laughed as I lay in bed with Ron at my side.
It was all so funny! I actually liked the vampires! My mother might remarry Charlie Swan, Chief of Police in Forks. Yeah mom! You have two young (okay, we aren't that young…) were wolves running around the house and you're going to bring the police in the house.
I laughed again and then realized that one of those were wolves wouldn't be here much longer.
It was hilarious. Sam was going to be my cousin. Jake (my Alpha for Heaven's sake!) was going to be my little brother (half but still!).
The pack was getting closer and closer to being the Cullen's lap dogs. There was no danger now, so we just patrolled in a tight circle around the mansion. We don't even really go on patrol. There is nothing to patrol. Everything was boring now.
The wolves didn't really phase that much. Just when they got mad and that hadn't happened to me. I was blissful. Everything was perfect, and I hadn't phased in months.
I was laughing like someone that was high now, but I couldn't stop. I struggled against it, not wanting to wake Ron up, but it was too funny.
"What's so funny?" He asked, groggily.
I willed myself to quit laughing and soon I was simply smiling at him. "I don't even know. Everything." I told him.
He smiled at me, pulling me closer to him. He kissed me and I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I love you." He promised.
I touched his face and played with his hair. "I love you too." He kissed me and I smiled back at him. "I'm glad things went well with your dad." I told him, pushing his hair out of his eyes.
"What can I say? You were right, baby." He kissed my forehead.
I gazed at the window, smiling at the familiar gray light of an overcast morning streaming through my window. I'm home… "I know, go me." I joked, laughing quietly to myself.
"So… What are we doing today?" He asked, beaming at me.
"Um… Well. Want to go meet the Cullens?" I asked him.
"The vampires?" He clarified. "Sure, I guess." He said, frowning, after I nodded.
"Really their nice… And they don't hurt people. Just give them a chance, their like my second family." I begged.
It wasn't until right then when I realized how true that was.
Bella, Rose, and Alice were truly like my sisters. All my life I've only had Seth, in the way of siblings. I always wanted a sister. Emily been that for me, but she lived so far away. Then she came here and stupid Sam went and imprinted on her! That friendship was shattered in that moment, and even now I couldn't be around her. I truly hated her, for taking my Sam away… Even now that I didn't want Sam back anymore. So, now Bella, Rose, and Alice took her place. Bella was my favorite of them all. She just let me be, while Rose still complained about the smell and called me a dog most of the time. On the other hand, Alice was nice, but in a way overly friendly (And if she ever asks you to go on a shopping trip, say no! Just trust me… I learned the hard way.)
The rest of the Cullens simply fell in place; they were all like my family… Haha. Soon they would be!
"Alright." He said, laughing at me. "They are family." He accepted.
"I know!" I cried.

Emily's Point of View (WOW! Big surprise..)
The house was a mess, and so I was scurrying around the house picking up clothes and trash from the floor.
I stopped cold, when I saw the familiar handwriting of my former best friend Leah Clearwater. I knew it well, because before all this craziness Leah had sent me letters almost every day…
I knew I shouldn't open it, but I had a burning curiosity to know why it was here. An old love letter from Leah that Sam never bothered to throw out, maybe…
Sam wasn't home and wouldn't be home for a few hours, so I grabbed the envelope and opened it.
I read it slowly, feeling the tears well up in my eyes.
"Oh, Leah." I cried, staring at the paper. I could see where her tears had stained the paper and where she must have closed and reopened it many times, trying to decide whether she should send it.
I didn't need to read the story to know how it ended. It ended with Sam and Leah happily married how it should have been… Would have been.
I felt the gentle tear roll down my face as I dropped the letter to the ground.. It landed light like feather, as I clasped onto the ground streaming down my face.
How could I do this to Leah?
How could I stand by and watch her heart be shattered into a million pieces on my account?
I sat there on the big couch in the Clearwater's living room beside my best friend and Cousin Leah. "Oh my gosh, Em. I can't wait for you to meet Sam." She cried, face exuberant.
"Yeah, I can't wait. He sounds really nice." I said, beaming over at her. It had been five long years sense I had last seen Leah, back then she hated Sam. Now, the sun rises and sets with Sam. Every letter she ever sent said Sam about five hundred times. "When should he be here?" I asked her, just as the door bell rang.
She squealed and jumped up. "Now." She beamed, running out the room. Seconds later, she returned eyes sparkling as she towed a tall (and I mean really tall.) and muscular boy (it felt wrong to call him a boy, he looked to much like a man.)… He had short chopped black hair and eyes as dark as his hair. He was looking at Leah, smiling a brilliant smile and I could see it in his eyes that he was in deep.
I knew that Leah loved him, and I knew that he had told her many times that he loved her, but I never really believed. Now, I could tell.
"Sam…" She said, dropping his arm and taking his hand. "This is my cousin Emily." She said, eyes gleaming. "Emily, this is Sam." Sam's eyes slowly and unwillingly turned away from Leah and he searched the room, before he found me.
"Hi." I breathed… His stare was intense, and I looked over at Leah, frowning.
He shook his head and frowned at the ground. "I have to go." He said, before turning on his heal and pulling his hand from Leah's. She stood there gaping at him, watching him go, and then turned back to me. Her eyes were brimming with tears and she fell to the floor.
"Lee-Lee… Don't cry. He must have had to go somewhere, it's alright." I said, as I ran over her. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her tight to me. "It's alright."
"No. No it isn't." She cried into my chest. "He's been doing that for weeks now, he's different. He isn't the same. Not the same Sam as before."
I knew what she was talking about. I remember her frantic letters, telling me that Sam was missing and she was sorry that she hadn't been writing much.
I felt a silent tear run down my face as I held my best friend, my sister really and she sobbed in my arms.
Fuck it! I can't believe I have been doing this to her. I love her. What was wrong with me?
He looked at me, eyes full of love and fucking adoration and I glared back.
"Come on, Emily. I love you." He begged.
I scowled at him, he broke her heart and now he thinks I'll just start loving him. What was wrong with this boy? "Who's heard that before?" I asked, glaring out at the bright ocean of La Push. It was a too bright of a day for La Push. Yeah. Makes sense. The one day Leah isn't happy, there is the sun. Taunting her, and making her sobs more easily heard. "Oh, yeah! Leah." I growled at him.
"I never meant to hurt Leah." He said, eyes melting into a dark brown pool full of all this stupid love.
"Sure, sure." I said, storming off and down the beach at the fastest speed I could manage.
"I can't help this." He pleaded.
"Yeah, whatever. I don't care." I yelled back, running up the beach now trying to get back to Leah's. I was halfway up the beach when he appeared in front of me, grabbing my shoulders and crushed his lips to mine…
I couldn't find the will to pull away, his lips were hot and soft on mine as he kissed me pleading. After a moment he pulled away and looked at me, eyes agonized. "Emily. You are just like Leah. You have her fire and her stubbornness and her eyes and her beautiful black hair and I bet you have her heart… I bet if you just let me in, you'd be as capable of loving and stuff. Just let me in your heart Emily. Just give me a chance." He begged me, his eyes begging me as he touched my face.
"Sam… You broke my best friend's heart. How could I..? I can't." I said, my will slowly giving way.
He saw the change in my eyes, he saw the wavering in my repose and his face lit up. "You can, Emily. She'll get over me, she will. I won't get over you. Just let me in. Just kiss me, give me a chance. I'll be whatever you want. Just don't hate me." He held me there, so close to his hot skin and I knew that I couldn't not give in. I felt like all my will power had been sucked out of me.
"But Sam…" I cried, leaning in to kiss him.
"There you go, baby." He whispered, just before our lips met. I wrapped my arms around his neck, feeling something I had never felt before and yet my head was screaming in horror. He pulled away and leaned his forehead against mine. "Thanks." He whispered.
"Not without a fight." I whispered back. I felt the silent tear roll down my cheek and then his big hand wiping it away.
"She'll forgive you." He told me, but I knew she wouldn't.
"No.. She won't." I said, leaning my head against his chest and crying.
"Emily!" I head the agonized scream ring across the darkening beach. I knew that voice, my cousin, my best friend crying out in pain at the sight of seeing me being held by the boy who just broke her heart. Her pain caused the tears to pour from eyes even harder.
"Leah." Sam breathed above my head.
I pulled away from him and looked out at Leah, who was crumpled at the end of the beach. I ran to her, trying to wrap my arms around her, but she cringed away from my touch. "Get away from me Emily." She cried, the sobs shaking her body.
I reached out to her, but she slapped my hand away. There was something in her eyes, something I couldn't describe…
Betrayal. I had betrayed her. What did I expect?
Sam's arms wrapped around me and started pulling me away, but all the way I could still see her. I could see her there sobbing into the sand.
Sam pulled into the house and I heard someone gasp… I must look awful. "What happened?" It was Seth… "Where's Leah?" He demanded. He didn't know. He didn't know that Sam broke up Leah, he didn't know anything.
"She's by the beach.. You should really go get her." Sam said, his voice cold.
"What happened to you? Why did you leave her?" Seth demanded, eyes blazing with anger.
"I broke up with her. Just go get her, Seth." Sam begged, turning to me. "Did she hurt you?"
"No." I said, feeling the tears drench my clothes.
Seth was staring at Sam, eyes full
of hate. "What the fuck, Sam? You just left her out there? Why are
you acting like that?" He eyed me and then Sam.
"I had to get Emily out. She fucking her hit her." Sam growled back, taking me in his warm arms.
"Damn it, Sam." Seth said, running out the door. Seth was scarring me. His shoulders were shaking and his eyes were black.
Sam held there for a few minutes, and then he pulled his face to mine… "Don't cry." He whisper, and kissed me.
"Get out." Seth growled and pulled away to see an sobbing Leah in Seth's shaking embrace.
Sam let go of me and smiled before he walked out the door. Seth set Leah down on the couch, and ran outside grabbing a bat on his way.
Seconds later there was loud ripping sound and a then a howl of a wolf.
I glanced over at Leah, who was glaring at me her eyes broken and her face looked wild.
Her sobs echoed through the house and were soon joined by sobs of my own. I fell to the floor and cried.
I understood the howl, I understood everything now.
The betrayal in Leah's eyes never faded. Every time I saw her (and now I know that I'll never see her again) her eyes shone with betrayal, and when she saw my scared face she would smile.
I can see how this would be a good (but not enough) punishment for me in her eyes.
My tears wouldn't stop falling and soon enough Sam found me, and wrapped his arms around me… "Em. What's wrong?" He pleaded.
"I can't do this, Sam." I cried, pulling out of his grasp.

Leah's Point of View
I half drug him through the forest, beaming the whole way.
"Oh, come on slow poke." I joked, as we neared the big white house.
"Oh, I'm slow?" He asked, smiling.
"Yeah, now come on. We're almost there." I told him, as we walked through the opening in the trees and the big house appeared.
"Wow." He said, laughing. "These vamps happen to be rich?" He asked me.
"Pretty much." I answered, pulling him to the door.
He wrapped his arm around my waist and I opened the door. Bella was there sitting on the couch with Nessie in her lap. "Oh, hey Ness. Hi, Bells." I called as I walked through the door.
"Leah!" Bella yelled, running up to hug me.
"Hey… It's good to see you too, but how about you not choking me." I joked.
She pulled away and frowned. "Sorry." She giggled.
"Hey, Ness. Did you miss me?" I asked, as the little girl walked over and hugged me.
"Yeah!" She squealed, hugging my legs.
"Um… Leah. Who's the dude?" Bella asked, eyeing Ron suspiciously.
"That's Ron. Her imprint." Edward answered, walking down the grand staircase and into the room.
"How did he-" Ron started, but I cut him off laughing.
"He can read minds." I answered.
"Okay…" Ron said, looking at Edward.
"Yes, I am." Edward answered. I glanced up at Ron who was laughing now. "Yes, I suppose it does take a long time to get used to." Edward said.
"Okay, people.. How about we play a little game?" I suggested. "Everybody talk out loud."
"Good plan." Bella said, picking Nessie up.
"Lee-Lee? Did Jakey come with you?" Ness asked, smiling at me.
"No… Jakey didn't come with me. But I'm sure he'll be here soon." I told her.
"Oh, so this is Jacob's imprint… I get it now. Sort of." He said, laughing at himself.
"Yes, she is. We didn't know Jacob had any brothers." Edward said, frowning.
"Well, he didn't either." I answered him.
"Jacob has a brother?" Bella asked confused. "Remember that game, Leah mentioned earlier, how about we play that now."
Edward laughed at her, but explained. "Well, apparently Ron is Jacob's half brother, but Billy never told Jacob… Or anybody."
"Oh." Bella said, looking at Ron. "Alright, that's odd."
"Yes.. But we love him anyway." I said frowning at them. I reached up and kissed Ron's cheek.
"Leah!" I heard Alice call, as she sped down the stairs.
"Hey, Alice." I said, while she hugged me.
"I've missed you." She said, beaming at me. She turned to Ron and beamed up at him. "Hello Ron." She hugged him and she glanced over at me, frowning. "I've been looking forward to meeting you." She said, looking from me to him several times.
"How did-" He began, but I cut him off again.
"Well… Alice can see the future." I told him… "And I'm guessing she saw you coming." I noted.
"Yes. I did." She said, eyes sparkling.
"But Alice I thought you couldn't see wolves." I said, confused.
"Well, I've been making real progress with that. I can see stills and stuff like that. Jake asked me to watch out for you, and I couldn't get you exactly." She smiled… "But every time I really focused on you, his face would fill my mind." She beamed up at me in pride. "I just figured it out."
"Um… Does anybody else do anything weird or special or anything?" Ron asked, eyes on me.
"Yes." Alice answered. "Jasper! Rose! Emmett! Esme!" She called up the stairs and then turned back to Ron… "Hey, Nessie? Want to show Ron what you can do?" She asked before the rest of the Cullens (minus one. Carlisle must be at the hospital.)
"Yeah." Nessie said, walking up to Ron. The little girl reached out and took his hand, smiling sheepishly.
"Wow… Okay, wow. How is she doing that?" Ron asked, bewildered.
"That's her gift." Edward answered, smiling down at his little girl. "She can show you what she is thinking… Kind of my gift, but flipped."
"Oh-kay." Ron said, and I pulled him closer to my side.
I smiled at the rest of the Cullen's who were standing around the room looking at me and Ron.
"Oh, this is great, Leah." Esme gushed.
"I know.. It really is, Esme." I looked up at Ron and laughed. He was looking around confused. "Okay… Ron, this is Esme." I said, motioning to her. "And this is Emmett." I said, smiling as I pointed to the big guy in the corner. "And this is Rosalie." I said, gesturing to the pale goddess at Emmett's side. "And this is Jasper." I explained, pointing to him where he was standing beside Alice. "And you can meet Carlisle later, he must be at the hospital."
"Yeah, he'll be back later." Alice said, beaming at Jasper. "And Jasper has a talent too."
"Oh?" Ron said, smiling over at Jasper. "What is it?"
"I can change the people around my self's emotions. For example I could calm down a room full of angry people." He told him.
I looked over at Bella who was standing beside Edward, frowning to herself. "And Bella has a talent, too." I piped up. Hers was always downplayed, but it really helps at times.
"Really?" Ron said, smiling over at Bella.
"Yeah… I'm a shield." She said, smiling at me. "That means, for intense that Edward can't hear my thoughts. My thoughts are protected by my shield, and I have over time learned to project it to the people around me. You see if I put my shield around you, Edward would no longer be able to hear your thoughts." She explained.
"That's very interesting." Ron commented.
"And frustrating." Edward complained, kissing Bella's neck.
-
"Thanks for being so nice." I said, kissing him.
"They were pretty nice. I like Alice. She's pretty cool. Nessie is pretty awesome also. Bella was very quiet.. A bit subdued. Until you mentioned her gift." He said, smiling at me.
"Yeah, well sometimes they forget about Bella's gift and she feels bad about it. She doesn't think her gift is as cool or useful as the other's. But really it is very helpful." I told him, frowning.
"I can see that… And it bugs Edward. That must be fun." He said, laughing.

Emily Young's (Cause it looks like she's going to stay that way.) Point of View
*Right where we left off with Emily earlier. :)*
I ran through the house, and out the door. Soon I found myself standing in front of Leah's house, panting and sobbing.
I knocked on the door, I knew she wouldn't answer but Seth or Aunt Sue could talk to me.
A moment later the door opened and I saw Leah. Here eyes were bright and beautiful, the way I hadn't seen her look for ages.
I wrapped my arms around her, hugging her as tightly as I could. "I'm so sorry, Leah." I cried, kissing her forehead. "I'm so so so sorry."
There was a guy standing behind her, I'd never seen him before and she was smiling at me, no hint of hate in her eyes. "It's okay, Em… It's all okay now." She whispered, hugging me again.
"I… I left Sam." I murmured.
-
Well.. :) I'm leaving it there because I'm cool! GO ME!
*I*LOVE*REVIEWS*
