Hello beautiful readers! If you've read my one shot "when did you miss me?" then part of this story will seem familiar, but you'll see it from another perspective :o)

Disclaimer: Only the Poem and the feeling in my heart that both Leah and Sam were set up by faith, but Leah got the shorter end of the stick while Sam at least got to find the love of his life, are mine. I don't own Twilight.

When Sam phased, it was because some new vampire's had come to town and the wolf's genes kicked in for the first time in who knows how long.

Poor Sam, he was a wreck, it's not like he had a dad that would explain to him and guide him through it. But he was a very good guy by anyone's standards, so he was very well liked. The elders were so glad that he was the first one of this generation to phase because that made him the "Alpha" and Sam was a natural born leader, so it would work out perfectly for everyone in the reservation.

Well, not everyone, not for Sam, at first, and definitely not for Leah.

He was ordered by the elders, to keep this a secret, even from Leah, he was also told about imprinting and how it would affect everyone who was close to him.

Sam didn't want to lie to her so he decided that, since he was the only wolf and the Alpha at that, he was going to make his own rules.

It's only fair to tell the girl I love, we have no secrets between us anyways. Screw secrecy! Screw the elder's getting mad! They need me to protect them. Psshh it's my life, if I can't control being human, at least I can control what I say and what I do with the girl I'm in love with….

"Oh, Hi! Uhm is Leah here? I'm Sa-"

That's the moment Sam's heart was taken away from Leah and was handed permanently to the girl who opened the door and turned her face to meet Sam's eyes.

She was his and he was hers, FOREVER.

They both stood still feeling an overwhelming and unexplainable pull towards each other. When Sam realized what had happened he was split in two. His heart felt complete at the sight of his imprint, but it broke for Leah.

He ran away, going un-humanly fast until he could burst into wolf form. Emily just stood there immobile. When Sam finally found himself as far away as possible, he broke down.

Why was life so cruel? How could he fully enjoy loving Emily when he knew it would destroy Leah? So he stayed there, he slept in the clearing for two weeks till his heart begged him to see Emily, he didn't even know her name, his heart ached to get to know her, protect her; and his brain knew he needed to tell Leah.

So he went to her house, fearing she'd rip him apart but mostly he was scared that Emily was still there and at the sight of her, he'd be side tracked. Thankfully she wasn't, which did actually cause a small ache in his chest, because he wanted to see her again.

When he saw Leah, she was so excited, to see him standing there that she jumped to hug him.

"I missed you so much!" was all she said, she couldn't ask him why he'd gone away, she was scared to be the reason of his absence.

She made him a sandwich, poured him a glass of orange juice and dragged him to the couch.

"You were so hungry in the days before you- … Uhm, well, that I thought to make you a yummy sandwich"

She was always so thoughtful. Sam's stomach felt like it had been kicked, but he gave her a warm smile and a sweet kiss on the cheek. He didn't want to be cold with her because he still cared, but didn't want to betray Emily by giving her a real kiss.

"So.." he started, holding her hand and looking firmly into her eyes. She panicked; she felt this was going to be a bad conversation so she jumped in interrupting him.

"Oh My God Sam-I-Am. Sooo much has happened. Emily came to visit and we had so much fun , but then she got really sad and physically ill that she had to go back to her home in the Maka Rez. I went out with the girls this weekend and Jenny, you know how she's boy crazy right? Well, she met this cute guy and….. And the Elders; Billy, Dad and Mom and the others have been getting together for these "meetings" that are supposed to define a "change" or whatever. They won't tell us anything. Sethy and I tried overhearing Dad and Billy but we were caught, Dad 'grounded' us, yeah right. Ha! He said I wasn't allowed to see you without his supervision, as if! Anyways so.."

She was rambling out of anxiety; he had loved her so much and he knew she was worried and nervous, and she was so in love with him. He couldn't stop himself; he kisses her with so much passion.

So, I'm still feeling horrible but My Pup managed to make me some soup, care to help him out I'm my healing process? How about some Reviews? :o)
