Last chapter

"Bye" I hung up the phone and handed it back to the nurse. Tuning around I slammed into a warm chest. I almost fell backwards but managed to regain my stance. The too familiar smell filled my nostrils and I looked up to find a pair of brown eyes staring me at me. Rage and anger filled them.

Shit.

Leah's POV

"Jeez, you scared the crap outta me"

He was quiet. His eyes never left mine and I felt myself shrinking by the second. Minutes passed and we stood there staring at each other. I watched as the tremors in his skin subsided and decided to give him an explanation.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to know if he was okay" I blurted out and his jaw clenched.

"After what he did?"

"He did it because it was a way to get you going, Jacob. Don't you see? You're the only one strong enough to kill him. He was trying to get himself killed"

"You're still not over him" he said blankly as I stared at him, searching in my head for a good enough answer.

"What are you talking about, Jacob?"

"You still love him. You still think about him, all the time, don't you?"

I was shocked I didn't even need to know how to answer any of those questions.

"You know what? I'm not going to put myself through this again. I'm not going to make you choose because I've been through enough. If it's him you want then by all means go after him. God knows he'll be waiting with his arms opened for you, right?" he stepped back and tears spilled from my eyes.

"No" I grabbed his arm, trying to hold him in place, but who was I kidding "Stop. Please?" I tugged a little harder on his arm. I felt like a child tugging on an adult's sleeve. My strength was nothing compared to his.

"Jacob, please stop."

"What do you want Leah? I mean really? I'm fucking tired of being always second best…you know what? Forget it; I'm done with your fucking games."

"I want you to listen to me. Please? I didn't called him because I still love him. I don't. But you can't expect me to forget him just like that. After all, he has played the biggest role in what I am today. I don't love him, but I don't hate him. I wish things were different between us, but not as in a couple's way. I don't know how to explain it. I know I'm stupid for thinking like this, I mean sure, I wish he wasn't with her but if he were to come here right now and told me he wanted me and only me and she didn't matter to him anymore. I'd still would say no because I have you, damn it Jacob don't just walk away from us like that, we deserve a chance. A real chance!"

"Uh huh"

"Stop it, you're acting like a child" I shook my head trying to shake the tears away "Stop walking away from me Jacob, damn it" he was almost on the other end of the hall.

"You got patrol tonight" he said and turned around the corner disappearing into the blue lines of the wall.

"Fuck" I breathed.

"Such ugly words shouldn't fall from such a beautiful lips" some idiot in green scrubs walked by me and stopped.

"Ugh, fuck off. Run along now. Don't you have to wipe some old mans ass or something?" he shook his head in disapproval and kept walking.

--~*~--

Hours later I was standing by the cliff watching the waves break on the shore. It was past midnight and the moon shone brightly illuminating the forest. I heard footsteps breaking some twigs and I quickly hid behind a nearby tree phasing almost instantaneously.

In my wolf form I peeked around the tree and saw Sam looking around. He knew I was there and he sat on the old tree trunk. His eyes scanned the trees waiting for me to come out. This wasn't going to work like this. I couldn't hear his thoughts in wolf form and if I phased back I had no clothes due to my angry burst a couple of hours ago, they were shred to pieces. So I decided to phase back.

"I have no clothes" I called from behind the tree.

I heard him get up and chuckle and he walked over to stand in front of the tree. He took his shirt off and handed it to me. I quickly pulled the garment over my head and pulled it down as far as it would go. Man this really sucked.

The shirt was long enough to cover me to my knees. I walked over to the trunk were he had sat again and took a seat next to him. I stared at my feet and I could feel his gaze on me.

"Whats wrong Leah?"

"Jacob and I fought, I think he broke up with me" my voice cracked saying the last part.

"Why would he do that?"

"Because he thinks I still loved you and he said he wasn't going to make me choose so he just walked away. I've never seen him so mad. He didn't even look at me. He just…walked away" I whispered.

"He'll come around. Your first fight huh? How exciting" he said faking enthusiasm.

"Shut up" I punched his arm and he laughed.

"It'll be okay. He's just pissed. He's just a kid after all" Sam's voice had changed. It was deeper and rougher than I remembered.

"Yeah" was all I said.

We sat there in silence watching the waves furiously lash at the shore.

"We used to come here all the time" he said softly.

"Yeah, whenever I could manage to sneak out, I remember that day my dad caught me sneaking out. God, he was furious"

"Yeah, I remember. I couldn't come to your house for weeks" his smile was lit by the moon.

"Do you think, things will ever go back to normal?" I asked.

"Not any time soon. I mean how messed up will things be if everything were to go back. Emily would be so hurt. I can't do that to her" his words hit me like a baseball bat "Was he right? What he said that you still loved me?"

"Somewhat, I don't know. I mean up until a week ago I thought I couldn't feel anymore. That i was an ice box, because I tried to make my self feel anything and it never happen. My ability to that sense had fade away. And then he and I happen. I don't even know how it happen? I feel like this could turn into something great and this is finally my time and my chance at a happy ending"

"There isn't such a thing, Leah" he started "Happy endings don't exist. You could say imprinting is a "happy ending" but if you look at it closely, at what cost? I lost the love of my life and Emily lost her sister. It's not worth it. I see how much she suffers from this. Every time you come up in a conversation or someone mentions you. I see the pain in her face. I don't think she's ever forgiven herself for what happen" his tone saddened.

"Well at least now you're with your soul mate now, she's the love of your life now" I watched the water bellow us.

"That's where you're wrong. You will always be the love of my life, Leah" he turned to me and I wished this conversation wasn't happening. I couldn't breathe "But Emily, she's my reason for exciting. She's my essence. My soul. She's my oxygen" he waited for a couple of minutes. Somehow my brain couldn't compute all this at once. My head was spinning but I needed to hear this. "That's why I was so pissed when I heard you two were together. He hasn't imprinted. He doesn't know how strong it can be. And on the other hand, I lost you to him, a child. He cant possibly feel what i felt for you. There is no one in the world that will ever love you like I did. I knew I wanted to marry you the moment I saw you. You were the person I was supposed to grow old with, and watch our grand kids play around our house while we sat outside reminiscing on earlier days. My whole world revolved around you, Leah. I wanted you. I needed you. I saw no one else. And then…this…curse happen. He can't fight it. Pure blood or not, he won't be able to"

"He will" I manage to breathe out.

"He won't be able to" his head shook and he let out a breath in desperation.

I couldn't fell my legs. I wanted to cry out and hold on to something because it felt like my insides were ripping apart. I wanted to run to Jacob and hug him. I wanted to feel his warm body against mine. I wanted to be by his side, where I felt like I belong there. But like Sam said "there are no such tings as happy endings." You can't gain without sacrificing.

Tears fell freely from my eyes. "Sometimes you have to make piece with your past in order to live your future" my dad always said. And that's what I was doing. I was breaking up with my past. I was letting go of everything and anyone that once hurt me. I didn't want to feel like this anymore. I wanted what Sam, Jared, Quil, and Paul had. I wanted to smile all day like Rachel. Look out the window waiting for my husband to get home like Emily. Or bear children like Kim. I cried because those things felt so far away from my grasp. One of them was impossible and the others, well they were just too far.

I hugged my knees and rested my forehead against them. Sobs were shaking my body while Sam's arm wrapped around my back and he hugged me to his side. He let me cry for what seem like hours. His other arm wrapped around me and this time I was crushed tightly to his body. I kept my arms around my knees; he kissed my head and chuckled.

"Seems like the too good no go Leah Clearwater has found love again"

"Yeah, shut up, jerk" I said when he finally let go of me. I could see the sky started to light up and realized I had totally blown off my patrol. Again. I got up and so did he. We looked at each other awkwardly and I laughed between tears. Something's never change.

"Do me a favor, and next time you have a death wish, just call me and I'll saw your head off. I mean maybe that'll do it. Don't be so stupid as to leave your wife grieving over your idiotic ass"

"Hmm, how big will the saw be?"

"Bone saw, so it'll take extra time"

"Okay" he chuckled and turned around to walk away.

"Sam?" I called walking over to stand in front of him. I drew the smooth band from my thumb and traced it one last time. The carvings in the ring seemed to have faded away. I reached over to grabbed his hand and placed it on his palm. He looked at me and faked a smile. His arms caged me into an iron hug and I laughed. I pulled away and he was still smiling. He grabbed my hand and placed it back on my thumb.

"Please keep it. It doesn't have to be a painful reminder of a broken love, but just a memory of happiness" he whispered slowly. His eyes scanning my face. The lump in my throat grew bigger by the moment but i managed to swallow it and smile at him.

"I gotta go"

"Me too, go find your boyfriend now..." his face twisted a little at the word boyfriend.

"Bye Sam"

"Bye" he said as he walked into the woods and I stood there to watch him leave. This time there was no tug in my hart. No feeling of needles shooting at me. No train wreck either. The feeling of emptiness was gone and I felt like this could be a new beginning. As new as it could get anyway.

Taking Sam's shirt off I phased letting my muscles tense then relax. I ran the whole way to Jacob's house. The wind brushed my face while I clawed the dirt to sprint into a faster pace. Billy's SUV was gone when I got there and the house seemed empty, except from a light snoring that came from inside the house. I phased back and carefully tip toed my way into the house and almost ran into Jacob's room. Last thing I needed was someone to see me naked, Billy to say the least. His room was empty and when I realized it, it took me by it.

I took a quick shower and pulled on a pair of pink sweats and a black tank top on I walked outside the room and into the living room. Jacob was sitting on the lazy boy. His eyes were close and the snoring I had heard earlier was coming from him.

"Wake up" I said almost whispering. All I got from him was a grunt and something mumbled. So i shook him some more.

"What?" he said groaning again.

"Now you listen to me Jacob Black" I stepped in front of him blocking his path just in case he decided to walk away again. His eyes opened hearing my voice a little too high and he raised an eyebrow "I'm not perfect, nor am I a tiny china doll that trips on flat surfaces, or runs away with leaches. I can take what most of the guys in the rez can't. I am your Beta for a reason and who ever thinks that I fucked my way to it, I will bite their fucking faces off. I deserve my place weather it's being your Beta, or your girlfriend. Now, that being said don't think you can toy with my feelings as to walk away from me, EVER again, because I will brake your face" his face held an amuse look "don't worry it'll heal. I don't take people's bullshit because I have enough bullshit of my own to put up with. If you think I love Sam you're an idiot. I care about him, yes, but I don't love him. Because I love you; and if you can't see that then you're the biggest moron there is" I said turning around and walking down the hall. I yawned loudly and plopped on the bed closing my eyes and hoped my muscles wouldn't be as tired.

I heard the door open and he walked towards the bed. He laid on his side. Silence followed. I wondered if he was still mad but at least he hadn't run away yet. I felt him shift and I turned to face him. Laying there face to face with him I had to stare at his grin. Grin I wanted to slap off his face. He pulled me close to him and his lips brushed mine making goosebumps erupt all over my body. He pulled back and held me there while my frustration was growing. I watched as he reached into his pocket and he fished a long leather strip. He held it in the air. I took my ring off once more and handed it to him. He looked at me wearyingly and I nodded. We sat up and he put the end of the strip through the ring. Tying both ends the band fell to the middle and I turned around lifting my hair as he fitted the necklace through my head.

There you have it another chapter lol...I like this one alot idk why but i do. I like the next one better lol you'll just have to wait.

A/N: I want to clear things a bit with the whole Sam thing. I dont think I made it that clear in the last chapter or this one. Well here it goes. Sam is a very complex character for me and he's giving me a bit of trouble on my writing- he annoys me-. I dont dislike him nor do i like him that much. But in some weird twisted way I understand him. He did what he did to Leah because he wanted to get Jacob fueled up. he's had enough living as a wolf and having every one hate him in town for leaving Leah for Emily. She, being Harry's daughter was well looked at and their family had a good reputation, while Sam's didnt and by marrying Leah he felt like he was mending what he father did to his mother. After his imprinting on Emily happen, everyone thinks the worst of him in town, comparing him to a much despicable version of his father. So thats why he attacked Leah, because part of him still loves her and that part doesn't want her with anyone else as selfish as that may be. He wants to die. And since they are practically indestructible Jacob as the true Alpha is the one that has the power to kill him amongst the wolves or a vampire of course. At the end of the last chapter Leah realizes this and thats why she forgives him. Jacob also realizes this at the end of this chapter and although he knows Leah still cares for Sam and always will, he doesn't see him as a threat anymore-or for now-. Well thats pretty much it about Sam. I dont think is enough to work into a chapter so is better to explain it here, but he will be involved a little more in this story...well alot more but not as an obstacle. I hope this clear things a little with Sam, everything else will be explained in later chapters.

Thank you for reading.^.^
