LEAH
I was faintly aware of the voices that surrounded me, they seemed distant, I could feel the agony that accompanied the words but I didn't have the slightest clue as to where I was and what was going on. I felt the sting that ran up and down my spine, and the never ending wariness. I wanted to desperately open my eyes, and tell the agonized voice that it was okay, there was no reason to be sad.
I couldn't move nor speak; all I could do was listen. The more my ears adjusted to the voices the more I was able to make out whom they belonged to. I could hear the husky voice of my best friend Jacob, but he sounded as if some sort of pain was being inflicted on him.
And then I heard the sweet loving voice of my love Embry, his voice was like music to my ears, I couldn't help the skip of my heart beat as I realized his hot hand was entangled with mine. He sounded sad, and that brought a shot of guilt through my body. Embry didn't deserve to be sad, I needed to wake up and confess my love to him.
I felt someone wince, and I couldn't help the feeling of wanting to comfort either my love or best friend. It took all my will to try and get some reaction from my non responsive body, but then I felt my finger twitch.
"Oh my God" I heard Jake breath.
"What is it?" my love asked not hiding the anxiety that poured out of his voice.
"She moved her finger Embry!" Jake yelled.
I continued to move my hand to show them that I was indeed awake; I felt the large steps that ran to my side. Other steps made their way to a door and then out as the door shut behind them. I felt the heat rushing through my body as a strong hand engulfed my moving one, and then with all the strength I could muster I opened my eyes, to the person whom all my hopes and dreams revolved around.
I couldn't breathe as his eyed burned into mine, all my fears of the future vanished as I looked at the man that had mended my once broken heart.
"Leah" he breathed as he kissed my forehead.
His eyes closed as I stroked his cheek a lone tear escaping his deep brown eyes.
"You're here, you kept your promise" I said my voice hoarse.
"Leah, where else would I be?"
At that exact moment the door burst open, I smiled as I watched both of my families pour in. My brother and mother were at my side instantly, as the Cullen's and pack members lingered around my bed. My eyes landed on Jacob who was leaning on the windowsill as far from me as possible.
"Oh honey, are you feeling okay?" my mom asked anxiously.
I nodded my throat to dry to talk.
"Leah, can you talk?" Carlisle asked as he made his way to examine me.
"Water" I mouthed.
Alice was inhumanly fast as she skitted into the room with a cup of water in her hand. I drank the water as if it was the last drop of water in a desert.
"How are you feeling Leah?" Carlisle asked.
I cleared my throat "I am good, my back stings a bit, but besides that I feel good" I noticed Jacob wince as I mentioned the pain in my back.
"Leah, the pain will fade away, I promise, but tell me do you feel sleepy of sore?"
"I am a bit tired, but I don't feel like sleeping" I assured him. "I feel like I slept for forever"
Everyone in the room chuckled, I turned to face Embry who was still holding my hand "Embry, why is everyone laughing at me?" I asked feeling self conscious.
He stroked my hair "It's nothing Leah, it's just that you have been unconscious for two weeks, so obviously you are not sleepy"
"Oh"
"Leah it is normal for someone who suffered an accident like yours to slip into a minor coma from shock, so don't be worried" Carlisle told me.
"But I am okay, right? How is Bella?"
"Leah you are fine, Bella is okay as well. She and Edward are both safe and sound on their honeymoon"
I heard a faint growl escape Embry's chest, I squeezed his hand "That's great, I truly hope she's enjoying herself, though I would have liked to see her when I woke up, but oh well, she is coming back right?"
Esme chuckled as she wrapped and arm around Carlisle's waist "Yes, sweet heart, her and Edward are coming back"
I sighed "Good, I would have hated myself if I would have missed a chance to say bye."
"It's good to see you that you are okay Leah" Rosalie told me as Emmet shot me a huge grin.
"Yeah Lee, I was scared that my shopping partner was never going to wake up" Alice screeched.
I groaned as she continued to plan our next outing "Alice, dear I think Leah needs to rest before she plans any shopping trips" Jasper cut in.
I mouthed "Thank you"
"Well how about we leave Leah alone with her family" Carlisle told his family as he led them out of the room, leaving me alone with Embry, Seth, Jake, Sam, and my mom.
Jake didn't move an inch towards me as the others congregated around me.
"Lee, I am so happy you are okay" Seth told me.
I patted his head motherly; "Oh Seth, I am fine, what's a scratch here and there" I shrugged.
"Leah you could have been seriously hurt" Sam proclaimed.
"But I wasn't, guys really I am fine, there is nothing to worry about"
"Emily is really worried" Sam told me.
As much as I wanted to forgive Emily, I couldn't quite put the past behind me just yet, my heart still stung when I pictured her with Sam.
"Tell her thanks for her concern, but I am as good as new"
"Leah Stop!" Jake shouted as he ran towards me and crumpled in agony at my side.
"Jake…"
"I think we should go" Sam announced.
Jake sobbed as my mother, brother, ex boyfriend and love left the room. Embry kissed me on the forehead before he departed.
Jacob had his face buried in his hands as he continued to sob. "Jake, please look at me" I begged.
He reluctantly looked up and met my gaze "Jacob, please stop torturing yourself, nothing happened, yeah I got hurt but I don't blame you and I sure as hell don't carry a grudge towards you. I love you Jacob, you're my best friend practically another brother to me, what happened was a mistake. You lost control of your temper it could have happened to any of you. The fact that you are here by my side, means the world to me. Having you here is all I ask of you."
I smiled as I tucked a hair behind his ear "I don't deserve to have a friend like you in my life, Lee. You don't even understand the pain and remorse I felt after I realized what I did to you. I wanted to kill myself for being such a monster; I never wanted to hurt you Lee, never"
"Jacob Black, don't you dare to even think about death. Do you want to kill me, Jake? I can't lose you; I have already lost so much. My life is finally finding happiness and I will not allow you to ruin it by being so damn selfish. Do you realize how many people would suffer if you were gone?"
He nodded "I am sorry Lee, I truly am, and can you please forgive me for everything. For leaving and hurting you?" he pleaded.
"Of course I can, I was never mad at you to begin with."
"Jake, do you think Embry loves me?" I asked.
He scoffed "Of course Leah, are you really that blind? Embry adores you, he never left your side, not once during those two weeks, he slept by your side every night." He pointed towards a small bed in the far left corner of the room.
I smiled "I love him Jake"
"Then tell him Lee, tell him you love him"
I nodded as someone knocked on the door, "Come in" I shouted.
"Um, Leah can I talk to you?" Embry asked shyly.
I nodded; Jake excused himself and left us alone. Embry was at my side immediately; he was looking at me intently, but for once wasn't holding my hand.
"Leah…" he breathed.
I straightened up and grabbed his hand holding on to it tightly, I placed my other hand on his cheek, "I love you Embry, and I am sorry that I ever pushed you away. I was scared to open my heart to someone again, but I was foolish to think that you were going to hurt me. You have proven to me that you love me countless times, and I have not done one thing to deserve your love and devotion, all I ask is for your forgiveness, I love you Embry and I want to be with you.
Because of you I feel whole again, I feel like I am going to explode from happiness. I am finally letting the old Leah come back, and it is all due to the fact that I am madly in love with you"
Embry's eyes were wide in shock as he processed everything I had just confessed to him, I took advantage of his vulnerability and leaned closer to his face, so that our lips were only inches apart.
He breathed and his hot breath sent shivers down my body, I tangled my fingers in his hair and crushed my lips on his.
He froze for a second before he was kissing me back enthusiastically. We both melted into each other's embraces. His hand was on my lower back as he hoisted me up; my hands were going up and down his amazing sculptured test.
We broke apart gasping for air; I fell back on my pillow completely light headed. Embry scooted next to me and I snuggled my body close to his. He wrapped an arm around my waist and held on tightly scared that I was going to get up and run away.
"I love you Leah, you have no idea how happy you make me"
I looked up at him and traced his lips "I love you too, and I am glad to be at your service" I teased.
"Leah, do you want to be my girlfriend?" he blurted out.
I giggled, I felt like I was in middle school again "I would love to be your girlfriend" I told him as I pecked him on the lips.
Up to this point I felt as if my life had no meaning, but here I was finally feeling as if my life had a purpose. I knew that my life and happiness would be dedicated solely to the man whom I vowed to love for the rest of my life. His name is Embry Call.
