A/N: Thanks for all the reviews guys! I'm glad that you're liking the story. Thanks to my Beta SuicidalBeyblader for doing all that she does. She is awesome. Now I know that some of these chapters are short and for that I'm sorry. This one too will be a little short but I will make it up to you in the next couple of chapters. I have some things going on and right now I'm going through chemo so between getting sick, being tired and being in pain I don't feel up to writing long long chapters. Anyways enjoy this chapter.

Our Day
(LPOV)
After Jared, Seth, Jasper, Edward, Carlisle, Rosalie and I got back to the house I decided I wanted to go walking in the forest to take a breather; just Jared and me.
"Jared.. Can we go for a walk, maybe spend some time together?" I asked.
Jared looked at me and smiled.
"If that's what you want Lee."
I nodded and held my hand out, letting Jared take it into his own. We walked off after I promised that if I got tired we would come straight back. Jared let go of my hand and then wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him as we walked along. I looked up at him, smiled and then placed my arm around his waist in return; my head on his shoulder as we walked.
I knew that Jared and I were becoming close, but how close I wasn't so sure.. When we came across a meadow we stopped for awhile. Jared sat down on the forest floor and gently pulled me down to sit with him. As I went to seat myself beside him, he shook his head and spread his legs; guided me until I was in between. I then sat down and he pulled me back into his chest.
I sighed in contentment. "This feels nice Jared."
I bent my head to look back at him and he smiled. "Yeah, it does. I like the feel of you in my arms.. I like knowing that while you're with me I know that you're safe and I can protect you."
I chuckled.
"Jared I don't need protection. I'm a big girl yah know I can protect myself."
Jared smiled at me again, and then he bent his head and kissed me lightly. When he lifted his lips away we smiled at one another. It felt nice kissing Jared, but it wasn't explosive.
"It feels sweet kissing you Leah, and I want to keep kissing you, ..But to me it's just comfortable and like we're close friends. I don't want to hurt you." Jared said.
I nodded. "I know what you mean Jared. I like having you kiss me too, but it's not like it's this big explosion of feeling. I like being with you, and I feel safe when I'm with you but unfortunately.. Sam still has my heart and even if he didn't I'm afraid of getting hurt again so I won't be doing any relationship stuff for awhile."
Jared's eyes crinkled and he bent down and kissed me again. This time he lingered. When we broke apart we both smiled once again. Jared wrapped his arms around me and put his chin on my head.
"I have an idea Leah. Why don't we be best friends, who just kiss occasionally? If we decide later on down the road that we want to do more then we'll revisit the issue. And I think by us acting like a couple will keep Sam off your back." Jared grinned.
I smiled and nodded.
"You know that just may work.. Are you sure you don't mind doing that though, Jared? I don't want to cause problems for you with your imprint.."
Jared shook his head.
"Leah you're my best friend and I love you. Kim and I haven't really spoken in a couple of months.. We're friends, yes and if push came to shove unlike Sam I would fight for you. Nothing is making me give you up, or the babies that you're carrying. Regardless if the babies turn out to be mine or not I won't give any of you up. I do love you, Leah I'm just not in love with you."
I looked into Jared's eyes and saw the truth shining brightly. "I love you too Jared; but I'm not in love with you either. I'm glad to have you in my life and by my side. I couldn't be any happier than I am right now...; I know that you're going to stick around and that you won't leave me high and dry."
Jared shook his head while smiling. He kissed me once more and then stood up. He held out his hand and I grasped it so he could pull me up and into his arms. We both heard a noise and turned to look. When we didn't see anything, we started walking again. We ended up walking to the beach where we sat down again, on the sand in front of the ocean. Once again I was in between Jared's legs and leaning back into his chest. His arms were wrapped around my waist and his fingers were running up and down my stomach.
We looked up as we heard running footsteps. I tensed when I saw Sam and Jared wrapped his arms tighter around me; pulling me to him securely.
Jared bent down to whisper in my ear. "It's alright Leah. I won't let him hurt you. Just go along with me."
I nodded but before I could say anything Jared's lips came crashing down on mine. I moaned in surprise which let Jared's tongue slip into my mouth. I sighed in contement into his mouth and reached my arms up around his neck; anything sure to keep his lips on mine. We only broke apart when we both craved air.I looked over, and saw Sam standing about 25 feet away from us and looking at us angrily. Jared stood up and once again helped me. He wrapped his arm around my waist and started to lead me away from the beach and from Sam. Before we could even make it to the forest we were stopped.
"Just what do you think you two are doing!? How could you do this to me??" Sam asked.
I just looked at him in shock; Jared moved us around Sam. We continued walking into the forest but of course Sam followed us. He ended up trailing us all the way back to the Cullens' house. Jared must have been thinking something as we got closer because when we got there Edward, Jasper and Emmett were all standing outside waiting on us.
"Leah, we need to talk. You can't keep running from me. These are my children too!" Sam said.
I turned around in anger but before I could say anything my world went black.
A/N 2: Alright next chapter will be Sam's POV. Before I get to Sam and Leah in the next chapter I'll have Sam confront Emily about what Sue said to him. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Read and Review!!!
