Ok so second to last chapter; finally laying the wonderful world that is Two Worlds to rest. I know I said on the final chapter of it that I was going to do Me Myself and Time, as well as at the start of this fic, but I want to finish this now and post some new stuff soon. Please don't hate me.
On the bright side I turn 19 on Saturday and am partying all weekend long. I'm out for a couple of drinks tomorrow night with my mates before seeing a local production of Beauty and the Beast on my birthday. I also share my birthday with my brother who will be 14. Next Friday brings Florence and the Machine to my nearest city so I get to go and see her with my two best friends. Totally excited.
And now onwards with the fic.
Time to celebrate.
I was taking the leap; telling Korey the whole story. My story. Of how I ended up in New York City and how our relationship was truly formed. Starting at the beginning I open up about my family; my mum and dad and Seth and to how Emily was a sister to me. From that thought train I flow into our legends of how we came about through how I was the only female wolf in history into imprinting. The tears continued to fall as I explained my dad's death and my miniscule amount of love for Sam compared to the love I felt for him which filled my heart. For the two hours it took for me to let out the tears, anger and sadness he simply held me silently close. His only words were simple. "I love you." Three words which I used to believe in then refused to as they were a lie, now I know they're true.
Mums letter arrived the last Sunday in January along with a thicker lilac coloured envelope which reeked of vampire, my name etched into the fibres in a darker purple ink.
Leah & Korey,
Happy new year to you both. Sorry this month's letter a tad later than usual; it's been busy around here of late. I've hardly had two minutes to myself. Charlie has gotten himself into a right tizzy over Bella's twin pregnancy.
Open the violet envelope now so you can continue reading with an understanding of what I'm writing.
Getting Korey to open the envelope I read through the invitation.
You are invited to the marriage of
Mr Jacob Black and Miss Isabella Marie Swan
At La Push Reservation
On February 28th3pm
Guests must wear purple of some form.
RSVP: Alice Cullen.
My step sister to be and my Alpha were getting married in a months' time. After reading it I pass it to Korey and continue with my mum's letter.
So what do you think of this revelation? My step daughter is getting married. Jacob wants you at the secret wedding as Bella doesn't know anything about it. He and Alice have been planning it behind her back. Please come. Your old room is waiting for you both. I can't wait to finally meet him, Love.
See you both next month, love mum, Seth and Charlie.
Folding the letter back into the envelope I place it in the shoe box under the bed along with the rest of her letters while the invite was stick onto the fridge with an apple shaped magnet.
Valentine's Day would always be a double celebration. Firstly it was the cheesiest day of the year where everyone went in gushing over mode and secondly it was the day I was born. Twenty one years ago I was brought into the world by Sue and Harry Clearwater.
Arriving at lunchtime in the diner for my afternoon shift I was greeted by the usual cliché pink and red hearts and a surprise 'Happy Birthday Leah' banner over the drinks bar. "Oh boy." I mutter under my breath as all my friends' crowd under it breaking into a pitchy Happy Birthday. "You guys really didn't need to do this. Seriously. There is no need." They protests at this fly past me as I take in a small cupcake tower sat at the end of the bar. Some we're Kenzie's coco-vanilla cupcakes from our selection at the bakery; a vanilla and chocolate chip sponge with chocolate frosting while others were my favourite Caramel cupcakes from Magnolia bakery which were a rich buttery cupcake with caramel meringue butter cream and caramel drizzle. Blowing out the single candle on the top cupcakes I'm crushed by hugs. In between orders I manage to open the pile of presents behind the counter as well as accepting the non-alcoholic drinks that the customers bought when they read the sash that I was forced to wear by Caroline.
Arriving at the apartment at six, Korey had cooked dinner; something which we usually done together, without me as a birthday treat. Ending the meal with a cardboard box labelled 'New Cupcake Flavour: The Leah' opening the box I take a minute or so to study the cakes. A cinnamon cake apparently matched my skin tone, had an apple flavoured, strong green coloured frosting. Biting into the moist cake there's a secret pie cream filling in the centre. Korey looks at me with an amused expression on his five o'clock shadow covered face. "Apple and cinnamon pie flavoured cupcake? It works." I note, licking the cream off my fingers as he tucks into the other.
"Kenz and I made it together with you in mind." he wipes the frosting from my face chuckling lightly. "Happy Birthday." The launch of the Leah cupcake happened the day after Presidents day, the batch of 150 cupcakes had been sold within an hour while the special batch of 200 for the diner sold out just as quick.
The day before Jacob and Bella's wedding we flew out to Seattle, Rose turning heads in arrivals as she waits. Seeing her blonde hair I drop the bags I was carrying and sprint towards her; engulfing her into a hug before introducing her to Korey. Her smile is all the approval that I need from her. The journey into Forks went faster than I hoped she she pulled up outside Charlie's where I was squeezed to death by my mum and Seth as Charlie simply nodded before leading us into the house. Seth and Korey instantly hit it off at dinner; Charlie joining in from time to time leaving mum and I to catch up.
Sneaking into La Push to mum's later that night I take in my childhood home; it had never changed since I left. Lying in my double bed on Korey's arms that night, he asks questions, learning about the area and my people. I promised to show him around after today's shindig. Getting up with our normal routine we run down to first beach, the cold sand under our feet, returning in time for breakfast- mom's famous fruit pancakes made with a special recipe. After showering together we get dressed, complying with the wish to wear purple.
In NY I had found a vintage blue tea dress with a minute purple flower print on it; I had matched the lilac flowers with matching YSL ballet shoes and a Anya Hindmarch clutch purse all found by Caroline on one of her daily shopping trips. Mom had bought Seth, Charlie and Korey identical boutonnieres.
We arrive at Jacob and Bella's new house, which my dippy sister to be never knew anything of, to find the pack already there. I hold my head up high with Seth and Korey by my side I face up to Sam and Emily; introducing my ex to my boyfriend and vice versa. Korey's hand tightens around mine while shaking Sam's. He was more relaxed with the rest of the pack even as I meet Colin and Brady for the first time; they had shifted just two months ago over Christmas.
Word was sent that Bella was on her way; Emily approaches me with Levi perched upon her hip playing with the gold earrings promising to catch up as I wait at the bottom of the garden for Jacob and Bella to tie the knot. I didn't want to sit beside the others, especially when we had to leave again in a week, back to our New York life.
I don't exactly not like Bella, she's ok in her own way, I just get sick of her whining and the fact that she had nothing to do with Jacob while the leech Edward was around, then Bam! He left and Jacob becomes her new toy and stupidly he fell for it and imprinted on her, fast forward a while and now she's up the duff with puppies and getting married 'cos it's the right thing to do. That and her dads dating my mum which is creepy beyond belief but it makes my mum happy which is all I can accept it for.
The ceremony goes slow, she never takes her eyes off him, they both seem to be in an extreme bubble, and it's gross. After it's done Seth makes an effort to talk to Korey, including him since he is in my life. I promise him that he can visit at Easter if he concentrates more in school; he agrees and goes off happily to wind up Colin and Brady.
Jacob and Bella head towards us. "Lee." Jacob grins as per usual. "Thanks for coming; everyone's missed you these past ten months." Subconsciously reminding me how long I had been away living my life. Bella mumbles her thanks, she's so wimpy.
I hold my head up high; I'm the better person, keeping Korey close. I smile and introduce them to Korey, looking at my Alpha I state so that everyone can hear. "He knows everything, I imprinted." Every one of the packs heads turn to face me. Causing a scene as usual.
"Congrats." Bella surprises me. I thank her awkwardly, glaring at everyone's slack jaws, taking Korey's hand I lead him to the cleared dance floor, not caring about the stares of the pack. I was happy; they should be able to handle that at least.
A week after I arrived in La Push I was ready to leave again. It was nice being back in familiar surroundings with familiar people, but right now my life was New York. It was home. I had my family and friends here. I belonged here. I wouldn't change it for the world.
Thanks for reading so far, much love, Lorna. =] x
