Leah POV-

Edward Cullen.

What can be said about Edward Cullen that hasn't been said before?

Mind reading vampire extraordinaire….. Mr. Pretends to know it all, and thanks to his gift probably, actually knows it all…..The probably only hundred year old virgin who did not have his first real kiss till years after his hundredth birthday- I take credit for it, actually, though I also do get the credit for a lot more than that (wink wink)….. Mr. Possessive is my middle name (Seriously, the guy freaked out six ways to Sunday every time another boy even attempted to flirt with me, not like I had any other reaction but to frown or laugh at their ridiculous excuse of a pickup line, but still, anyways)…..and Protective is my second middle name (Really, who named him Edward Anthony Masen Cullen? The more appropriate name would have been Edward- I am over possessive- I am over protective- Cullen. It was actually a rare sight to find Edward not hovering around me when his Denali cousins or Jasper's brother and sister had visited in these past three years. The brief meeting with the nomad in the meadow that day had done much more harm than any good possible. Of course it had made me and Edward get together, something I would always be thankful for, but it had also given birth to the overprotective asshole who existed within my sweet little fiancé)….. but like I said before, not all is bad in my now fiancé of a year. He is the sweetest and most adorable person that I know of. He is the most random person at times and wants to know the answer to the silliest questions possible on the face of this earth. He loves his family, much more than anyone can claim, and he will do anything possible- even swim the oceans or climb mountains- if it were to make me happy. I truly believed that I had won the boyfriend/ fiancé lottery in life…

I still clearly remember the first time I had seen; or rather spoken to would be the correct word, Edward. I was a shell of a person after what had happened with Sam, and I would look through people without actually looking at them, my mind somewhere completely elsewhere.

That day, as always, I had been sitting at my table in the cafeteria- the only table where nobody apart from me ever sat. I had never really been that loner who sat alone at lunch in my previous school, but after moving to Forks high and starting again, or at least attempting to start again, I did not have any patience left for the gossipers who tried pulling me towards their table or towards the nerds, jocks, geeks…. you name it, and definitely not towards the idiotic boys who tried to flirt with me. I had no patience left for any of them. I just wanted to be left alone to drown in my own misery…. and then he had walked up to my table and in my life.

My first impression of him had been that he was an asshole, simply put. I did not know or care why he had decided to approach me, hell- even I knew that I wasn't the most approachable person on the planet, but still there he was, holding his tray of food in his hands and a ridiculously nervous smile on his face. He was terrified, and he knew it, but he was also brave for taking the first step. I knew that I would never have, if it would not have been for him.

At first I had given him no attention. He was no different from any other person in my life- just not important. My thoughts were filled with the memory of Sam and anger against him and Emily. I just had no place in my heart for love, friendship or even happiness. I had thought that my life was over, if only I had known that it was far from it. My life was just about to begin with the entrance of one Edward Cullen.

It was almost movie like in a way. The hero would enter the picture, save the girl from a hundred different external enemies and would end up falling in love with her and making her his, but in our story it was a little different. Edward had not saved me from a hundred external extra strong enemies who were out for my blood (well, only one, but that really doesn't count in the bigger picture). Edward had saved me from myself. He had saved me from my thoughts and anger that was quickly drowning me. I was losing myself in my pain and sadness. I had forgotten how to smile. I had forgotten how to laugh. I had forgotten how to dream. Edward was my hero. He had brought all of that back to me. He had saved me from a life of loneliness, pain and sadness.

I don't know what would have happened if he had not fallen in love with me, or if I had not moved to Forks High to complete my senior year of school. Probably I would have moved on, on my own, or I would have finally drowned in my sadness, becoming a bitter old person. It is futile to guess of what would have happened. Nobody can know exactly, but all I know is that Edward was in a way my savior. He had slowly made his way in my mind and then in my heart, till I couldn't imagine being without him.

He was my friend, my best friend and knew everything of what was on my mind, without his sometimes irritating gift of reading minds. The past three years had only made us stronger and surer of this decision of ours- that we were meant to be.

If I were to answer of when I had found out that he was a vampire, I would guess that underneath it all I had always known. The clues had always been in front of me, but I had been too blind to see it and too stupid to understand it.

The differences between me and him… the eye color…. that pale skin and cold temperature of his…. it was a dead giveaway. The only problem was that I had been too stubborn in my misguided beliefs to understand it. I had always been a person who saw everything as black or white, forgetting that at times the world is in shades of grey.

Finally when after months of talking to Edward, of sitting beside him at lunch, of expecting to see him at lunch, of accepting his presence as that of a friend…. finally when I had been forced to put two and two together, I had realized of how wrong I had been.

It would not be correct to only blame my father for it. Sure he had lied to me for most of my life. He had brainwashed me till the extent of where I couldn't differentiate reality from fantasy. He had believed that he was doing the correct thing by doing so. My life and the mess that Sam imprinting on Emily had caused, was a small casualty on the way of life. But I was equally to blame for what had happened to me. I should never have let someone have as much control over me as much Sam did have. I should never have believed so much in Emily that her betrayal caused me so much pain. I had trusted them blindly, and somewhere deep down, it was also my fault for not knowing any better. I had been a naïve kid who wished to believe that the world revolved around her. That she had the best boyfriend, best friends and the perfect life that one could ever wish for. One break up and betrayal had been enough to shatter that picture of glass, though.

With Edward it was different. He had already seen me at my worst. He had seen my anger. He had seen my bitterness, and still by some miracle, he was in love with me. A miracle I never planned of taking for granted.

"Leah, are you ready?" My sister in this new reality of mine asked me, from where she stood at the door of the room that I was to share with Edward in the near future. For today though, Edward was not allowed anywhere near this room or near the house, for the worry that he would read my or anyone else's mind and see me before it was okay for him to. I may be getting married into a family of vampires, but still tradition was as important as any other normal marriage.

I had laughed a bit at that though when I had been told of it.

I nodded my head at my sister as she whistled at my appearance in admiration.

"I must say that I had never imagined this day to come, though. Edward getting married is like… zombies making their presence known, or of Aliens deciding that earth is their new residence. It just is not that probable to occur, but then again a 'vampire' has no right to form an opinion on zombies or aliens." She smirked at me, making me laugh in this anxious excitement I had been experiencing.

It was ironic and equally funny in a way. Edward and Rosalie had never really got along, like ever in their really long lives. Rose hated Edward and Edward gave her the same courtesy, but once I had known of the Cullen secret and had started actually mingling with the family, I had realized that Rose and I were literally two peas of a pod. We had a lot in common for a human and a vampire, and despite the frown on Edward's face that Alice was not my favorite, Rose had quickly become my sister in this new family of mine.

"Oh, Seth wants to see you." she smiled at me, before letting my brother enter the room after my nod of agreement. She then quickly left the both of us alone, knowing that I needed this time alone with my brother. I don't know when I would be seeing him again. We were going to be leaving Forks soon after the wedding.

"Hey sis," Seth said in a whisper. He looked like the five year old Seth who would give me the puppy dog eyes when I would leave him and go somewhere or shout at him for constantly following me around.

"Seth," I said as a tear fell down my eyes. He promptly came over and hugged me tight. The past three years had worked miracles to build the bridge again that had broken between us when Seth had first phased. I had blamed him, shouted at him, thrown things at him in anger, but he had never said a word to me back. He had only supported me and wished the best for me. He had also been ready to support and take the side of his mortal enemy just because he knew that that would make me happy.

What had I done to deserve such an amazing brother in life?

"Mom really wanted to come today." he said softly something that I had already expected him to say. I nodded my head, letting my thoughts run free.

Relations between me and my father had soured long back. He had expected and demanded me to stop talking to and to keep my distance from Edward once I had known of the truth. He had said that he would rather see me sad and bitter than with the monster he saw Edward as, and when I had refused, he had given me the ultimatum. If I were to stay at his house then I had to do what he said. I had once again refused, deciding to move out instead. I had found an apartment in Forks, deciding to once again take hold of my own life. The deposit that he had offered to provide had half been an apology and half a hope that I would one day get back to my senses. Well, unlikely for him, neither of the above was about to happen. I could never truly, completely forgive him, and obviously letting Edward go was out of question.

Forcing my mother to choose between me and him was truly the last straw. It was then that I had decided that a father who put his niece and tribe over his daughter could never really be a good father, or human being for that matter, and so it would do me no good to cry over such a man. Edward hated it. He wished that my parents would accept him… accept us, but I knew that it was too much to ask from my tribe.

After today, I would not even be allowed to set foot in my own reservation, the place I had called home for all these years. I would become Mrs. Edward Cullen in a few hours, and that would be the end of it- a Cullen, no matter human or vampire, was never allowed to set foot on the tribal land.

Seth, my truly amazing brother, had offered to walk me down the aisle today.

"Ready?" asked Seth, his eyes brimming with unshed tears.

I nodded my head, taking one last look at myself in the mirror and checking if my dress and hair was in place, before taking Seth's arm, walking towards my destiny.

I could not wait to begin the walk towards my future. I would not wait to be Mrs. Edward Cullen.
