A/N:

Technically, I am not supposed to be on the computer right now. It is a Jewish holiday, and I should be in "no button pushing mode". But, luckily for you guys, I figured that it didn't matter because I was going to Hell anyways.

First, I want to thank Caroline for giving me the idea for the last chapter and some of this chapter. Also thanks to the reviewers.

I am sorry that this chapter is coming out so late. In the future, I will try and get them out before 11:30 P.M. EST (for some reason I write best in the middle of the night, and it is the only time I have to go on the computer for long periods of time). I am also sorry for such a short chapter. It's almost midnight and I have to get up at 5 tomorrow.

Sorry for not updating last week. I fell a bit behind trying to keep up with school work and all. I recently tried out for and got into the chamber orchestra at my school, so I am really excited!!

Also, please check out emmettcullen13's story which I will be helping betaing. It is really good so far!

Next update: Sun. Oct. 4, 2009

Leah POV

I didn't know what to say.

"H-hi," I stuttered.

The man rolled down the window and said, "Hello."

"Hi," I said again.

The man smiled at me. "So what's your name?"

"Leah," I answered.

"Mine's Ben," he said.

"So what are you doing here Ben?" I said, fluttering my eyelashes.

"Nothing really," Ben responded.

"Really?" I asked, blinking unnaturally fast.

"Are you hitting on me?" Ben blurted.

"Uh… no," I stammered, blushing a bright shade of red.

God, how could I not realize that I was making such a fool of myself! I was acting like a fool. What was wrong with me?

"Would you like to come in?" I asked suddenly.

"Sure," Ben smiled.

Ben got out of the car and put his arm around my waist. My heart fluttered faster than it ever had before.

Just then, I realized what was wrong with me. It was love.

Ben POV

Leah's invitation to come in was unexpected, but I jumped all over the opportunity to see Angela's new boyfriend.

I got out of the car and put my arm around Leah's waist. I figured that if I walked in with another girl, it would make Angela jealous. Plus, Leah had been flirting with me a lot, so I figured she was just the girl. Maybe I could even try to flirt back. That would make Angela really jealous.

We walked into the house in silence, and everyone's eyes were on us.

"This is Ben," Leah introduced me to the group. I saw Angela's boyfriend start trembling and his hands were clenched into fists.

"Leah, can I talk to you?" he asked through clenched teeth.

"Now?" she asked.

"Yes, now," he stressed.

Leah let go of my arm and followed him into the other room.

Embry POV

I let go of Angela and led Leah into the backroom.

"What the hell are you thinking?" I whisper yelled at Leah.

"What?" Leah asked, clueless.

"How could you bring Angela's ex-boyfriend here?"

"Oh God…" she trailed off.

"You didn't know?" I inquired.

"Not a clue," Leah whispered, terrified.

"It's okay." I patted her shoulder awkwardly, trying to comfort her.

"No it's not," she said. Leah was starting to scare me. I had never seen her that close to hysterics.

Leah leaned into my chest and I awkwardly patted her hair. My other hand was around her back. She seemed really upset about something; I just wish I knew what it was.

I felt my shirt get wet as water leaked out of Leah's eyes.

"What's the matter?" I whispered in her ear.

"I imprinted on him," she sobbed.

It took a moment for me to comprehend what Leah had said. Him, she couldn't mean Ben, could she?

"Do you mean Ben?" I asked quietly.

Leah nodded her head into my shirt. She struggled to hold back the sobs that threatened to take her over. I pulled her closer to me, trying to make her feel better.

Leah gasped from breathe as the sobs pulled her in.

"Everything's going to be okay," I muttered over and over again.

"No it's not," Leah continued to stutter. "How am I supposed to tell him? How are you going to tell Angela?"

Leah had a good point. What was I supposed to say to Angela, oh the only female werewolf just imprinted on your ex-boyfriend, but everything's going to be just chipper! That wasn't going to go over well.

"I don't know," I answered honestly. "but everything's going to turn out just fine."

I really hated lying to Leah, she was like my sister. I felt her pain, I really did. I know I had teased her in the past; for being the only female werewolf, for being a bit cold, for hating Jacob, but that was all in good fun.

Now, I felt terrible for her. I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest once again. I knew exactly how she felt, and that's probably why I felt so strongly about it.

I had never seen Leah like this. I know that the one thing she had wanted was a normal life. She didn't want to be the only female werewolf. Leah spent countless months wondering if she was a genetic dead end; the end of her line. All she ever wanted was to imprint. Now she had imprinted, but it wasn't the picture perfect ending that she had hoped for.
