Embry's POV

"I don't know what to tell you, I love you Melody. I can't even fucking function without you around," he said and I could hear the truth in his words.

I lowered my voice, "Well that doesn't really matter anymore."

He raised his eyebrow, "And why not?"

I looked into his right before speaking, "Because I'm moving to San Diego,"

I stood frozen in the spot I was standing. I actually think my body stopped function when I heard the words 'moving' and 'San Diego' leave her lips. I don't know what was harder to deal with, her leech lover or that she was moving. I didn't know the exact distance from La Push to San Diego, but I knew it was long enough that I would never see her again. Melody didn't have family here or close friends, she wouldn't have any reason to set foot in La Push again once she left. She'd get married and start her own family and I'd be stuck here always wanting her.

"You're..leaving?" the words stumbled out of my lips. The words hurt to even process, my imprint was leaving me.

She nodded, "I got this really good job offer today. The place looks really nice and I've been trying to get out of La Push since well.." her words stopped and her eyes suddenly got sad, "well you know," she finished and fixed her eyes on the ground.

"You don't have to leave Melody, you know that right?" I said and the guilt I felt lingered in my words. I really had turned her world upside down. She never minded living in La Push and now she wanted to get out because of me.

"I..I don't belong here Embry," she said softly and her turquoise eyes started to fill with tears.

It was physically painful to be around her when she was crying. I've made her cry more in the last three months than I ever wanted to in her whole life. Sure, I think every imprinted wolf has somehow made their imprint cry at least once, but I definitely have topped everyone off with the amount of tears I've provoked out of my imprint. I think about Sam and how the guilt of hurting Emily is still with him everyday, I wondered if it'll be like that with Melody, if she ever forgives me.

"That's not true Mel, you're my imprint. You do belong here."

"I don't want to be your imprint anymore."

The words stung and played on repeat in my mind. She probably wishes Quil, Jacob, or even Paul would have imprinted on her instead of me. Maybe she wishes she never would have got imprinted on by anyone and she could have lived in the normal world she had known for her whole life.

You destroyed her life
, the voice in the back of my head always seems to be telling me.

"It's irreversible so I don't know what to tell you, you're stuck with me." I said and I laughed internally at how immature the words sounded together.

"You're forced to love me, so force yourself to stop." she said as if it were a simple fact like adding two plus two.

I felt my hands start to shake and I took a few deep breaths to calm down. I knew I had betrayed her with what I did with Leah, but for her to think what I felt for her was forced was complete ridiculous. Imprinting had just pointed her out to me, falling in love with her happened naturally.

"You know that's not true," I growled and tried to control the tremors in my hands and arms. I don't know why my uncontrolled phasing doesn't scare Melody. She knows the story of Emily's scars and she's never even flinched when I would start shaking during a fight with her.

She smirked, "Actually I don't know if anything you say is actually true."

I hated that, she'd always trusted me. There was never a doubt in her mind that I wasn't completely honest with her, ever. She never questioned where I was when I passed out at Emily's after long nights of patrolling or if my shifts extended and I came home or called her back a few hours later than planned. She thought nothing of the night of Jacob's birthday and told me she was glad I stayed at Emily's because she didn't want me driving home drunk. She would have never guessed the actually story that I was up all night with Leah. Our relationship was based on trust, she'd held up her end of it and I completed shattered my half.

You destroyed her life and she'll always be afraid to trust people, the voice added.

I stared into her pained eyes and wondered how I could possibly live a normal life without seeing her again. I'd never hear her beautiful voice and laughter again or see her amazing eyes that drew me into her in the first place. I couldn't imagine what pain a permanently broken imprinting would bring me.

"You..you can't leave."

Her eyes softened before she spoke up, "You know, that's not really fair. After everything you did, the least you can do is pretend to be happy that I'm doing something I want to. You want me to stay here, where I have no friends or family and watch you raise a baby with Leah? Don't you think that's kind of selfish of you?" she said, but she didn't sound bitter, she actually sounded upset that after everything that happened I could possibly ask her to stay here.

I laughed bitterly, I was suppose to be happy that she was moving hours away? "Oh, you're right. Lemme start planning the going away party for you and you can start on the baby shower," I said with sarcasm laced through my words. I felt good about my comeback for about two seconds until her face crippled in sadness and pain. I knew instantly I shouldn't have brought up with baby, especially to her.

"Whatever Embry, nothing you say can possibly top of what you did," she said and then her phone started to vibrate in her purse. With my werewolf hearing I could hear that it was her friend/roommate, Brittany. She was slurring most of her words, but I did make out her telling Melody to come back so they could leave. I sighed, I didn't want her to leave. I loved her being in my presence and this was the longest time I'd spent with her since she moved out.

"Can you walk me back down there— well actually, never mind you don't need to if you don't want.." she continued rambling on as if I was really going to leave her to walk two blocks alone in the dark.

"I wasn't going to leave you alone, whether you asked or not," I smiled down at her. I forgotten how tiny she was since I haven't been around. She had on heels, but I still had at least a foot over. She looked thinner and the guilt welled in me that I possibly had something to do with her weight loss.

"You look thinner.." I commented, hoping that that wouldn't make her angry.

She laughed, obviously feeling nonchanlant about the subject, "Yeah, I forget to eat when I'm with Anthony."

I should thank Anthony for bringing some of the life back into Melody, but I hated him. I didn't know him, but I hated the way he could kiss and spend all the time he wanted to do with my girl. It took everything in me not to find him and tear him apart.

"You shouldn't be with him Melody, it's not safe." Of course I'm worried about her safety but I think jealousy plays a big role of me not wanting her to be with him too.

"He won't hurt me, he's never even had human blood," she replied in a quite voice.

I didn't know what to say to her anymore. She wasn't going to forgive me, she didn't want this life anymore, and she didn't deserve it. We got into the bar parking lot faster than I wanted. I didn't want to leave her and not know if I'd ever see her again.

"I'm sorry Melody, for everything" I whispered

She looked up at me before replying, "Yeah me too Em."

She started to walk away and if it wasn't my werewolf hearing I wouldn't have heard the sob escape her chest as she pushed the bar doors opened and disappeared from my sight, probably forever.

Melody's POV

I loved him. I loved him and I could no longer try to deny it or push the thought to the back of my head. I really thought one day I could have got over him, but that was just not going to happen. I knew I needed him because the second I walked away from him, I desperately wanted him to turn around and come back. It was the same feeling I felt when I moved out. Even though it was me that packed up my stuff and walked, the minute the door shut behind me and I felt the silence and loneliness overwhelmed me, I wanted him back. Maybe it was the imprint force that was pushing us back together, but whatever it was, it could not be ignored.

I did feel guilty though. Guilt that along the process of mending my own heartache, I've hurt someone else. Those were never my intentions with Anthony. I couldn't tell you exactly what my intentions with Anthony had been, because I didn't know myself, but I didn't want to hurt him. I think in a different situation I could have loved Anthony, maybe if I had met him before Embry. I needed to face reality though, I'm destined to be with Embry. It was unfair to everyone to try and cover that up with Anthony's kisses and amazing sense of humor. Whoever gets to be with Anthony, human or vampire is lucky. That girl just can't be me, it just took me until tonight to realize that. Embry was always there and he would continue to always be there. I'm so in love with him and I have absolutely no power or say so in it. I still hated what he did to to me, but people can make mistakes even when it comes to love, right? I don't know how I'll deal with a baby being part of his life, but I guess I'll adjust.

'Love isn't love if it's easy,' it was probably the only advice my mother gave me that I'll ever use in my life.

I pulled the car into our usual parking spot. I turned off the car and stepped out, but this was not such an easy task for Brittany. She stumbled over her own heels and fell down a few inches away from the car door. She sat there laughing, which caused me to start laughing too. She stood back up and balanced herself with the car door, "Youu arre so in love with him," she slurred. Even in her drunk eyes, she could see the connection between us.

"Yeah I am," I said and it was most likely the most honest thing I ever said to her.

She giggled and then her eyes lite up, like a light bulb was going off in her drunken mind, "Does that mean I can have Anthony's number!?" she said a little bit to loud.

I laughed sadly and guilt overwhelmed me again at his name being brought up.

"Yeah..um bout that..we'll see!" I said and started to walk inside.

Brittany was sleeping within ten minutes and I was trying to find something to distract me. Sleeping just wasn't an option with everything I had running through my mind. I cleaned up my room and the kitchen, which didn't take anymore than fifteen minutes because they were already pretty close to perfectly clean. I watched half a rerun of the O.C. but the cliche teenager love triangle storyline annoyed me pretty quickly. I tried reading, which is something I usually love, but tonight the life of Serena and Blair just did not seem to interest me. I shut the book and slammed it on the coffee table. I looked at my cell phone which flashed the time 2:15 and I silently wondered if Embry was on patrol. I doubted it, because the Cullen's haven't said anything to make me think the vampire world is anything but calm.

I sat there for and thought about what a future with Embry would be like. It wouldn't be the same and it definitely wouldn't be as easy as it use to be. I didn't want to sit here and have internal battles with myself, I wanted to talk to him. I knew it was rude to show up unexpected to some one's house at two in the morning, but I couldn't just sit around all night. I grabbed my keys off the coffee table and pretty much ran outside the apartment door because my rational thinking would have gotten the better of me.

You love him.

I did love him, hated the situation, but loved him.

I've never been a nervous person, but sitting outside his apartment building was working my nerves up. What exactly do you say in this situation? "Hi, I've been a complete bitch to you and tried to make myself feel better by kissing your natural enemy, but I love you, even though I just denied it an hour ago!" I have no game plan on what I'm going to say, but I guess I'll just do some quick thinking when he opens the door.

I walked into the apartment complex I had once called home. I walked down the stairs and stopped at room number 16. Here goes nothing, I thought as I balled my little hand into a fist and knocked it against the door twice. I heard a door slam inside and I wondered if I just ran back to my car now if he would smell my scent outside and know it was me here. Well, it was too late to do that now. He swung the door up looking pretty mad, but sexy with just his sweat pants on and no shirt.

His eyes softened up completely when he seen who was standing there. He was looking at me skeptically as if was trying to decipher whether this was a dream or actually reality.

"Melody? What—why are you here, is something wrong?" he said scanning my body to look if their was something possibly wrong with me.

I shook my head and bite down on my bottom lip, "I'm sorry Embry."

He looked at me curiously, "Sorry for what?"

"Everything. For being a stupid and stubborn bitch and not forgiving you and making you miserable because of Anthony and threatened to move away, just everything" I said quickly without taking a breath.

His eyes lite up and I knew I'd made the right decision. He seemed loss for words as I stood outside the door.

"I love you Mel, you don't even understand," he stuttered out and I smiled and looked up at him. His warm lips collided with mine and I didn't realize how much I miss this. Us.

He smiled looking down at me before grabbing my hand and pulling me into the apartment and slamming the door behind us.

We were Embry and Melody again, the way it was designed to be.

A/N: I hope that the reunion is as good as you expected, be brutally honest if it wasn't. The reviews on the last chapter were amazing, please keep them up. I want to thank all my readers for being so amazing with my first fic and I hope you continue reading. I posted a new poll, I want to know if you want a prequel or another imprint story with someone else. If anyone reads "That Summer", I did delete it, but I'm going to start it over and it will have the same basic plot line, but Lola's character will be different. I wanted to see if I could write a shy quite girl, but I can't seem to get the flow of it. I have finals this week, so I won't be getting anymore chapters out until at least next week. Do you want the next chapter in Embry's or Melody's POV? Thanks for reading, review!
