I don't own Twilight
2 Neah Bay
Leah's point of view
"You are going to love Neah bay, is so beautiful!" Emily exclaimed.
"I am sure it is," Sam said trying to focus on the road and not in his imprint without succeeding. "Did you already call your mother Em?"
"Yes, right before we left," Emily answered with a big smile. "She is so excited! She can't wait to see us!"
"Yeah, I can imagine her with an enormous welcome poster in her front yard."
"That would be so cute! I am sure she already called all my family; probably all the neighborhood is getting ready to welcome us! Oh Sam I am so happy!"
"Me too Em."
"Are we there yet?" I asked like a little kid.
"Just a couple of minutes," Sam answered.
Thank god! There is too much love in this car, one more romantic declaration and I swear I am going to puke! You are probably wondering why on earth I am in a sport truck with Sam and Emily heading towards the Makah Reservation, well, I don't know.
After escaping from Sam's house that night, everyone tried to talk to me. My mother and Seth were on my side, they knew how much pain I was feeling. Embry and Quil said the same thing. Sam, his pack and the imprints thought I was overreacting, but the cubs said that no matter what I decided, they were going to be on my side. I was getting confuse with all the opinions, so I asked the only person I really trust, my best friend, Jacob Black. Just as always, he surprised me. Jake was on my side, he knew dealing with all of this was very difficult for me, but he also said that this was the only opportunity to end everything; it was going to be my last chance to get my closure, so I took it.
I called Emily to tell her I accepted being her maid of honor and she cried of happiness. Next thing I knew, I was being kidnapped by the couple to a trip to Neah bay to prepare everything for the wedding. Paul, Rachel, Jared and Kim were following us in the other car; I wish I could be with them.
"We are here," Sam announced parking the car in front of a big wooden house.
"Oh! My baby is finally here!" Emily's mum exclaimed happily getting close to the car. "I've missed you so much!"
"I've missed you too mom, but I am here now," Emily said hugging her mom.
"Don't kill the bride dear," my uncle said getting out of the house. "Sam! My boy! Good lord you look even bigger than the last time."
"Good to see you too Mr. Young," Sam said shaking hands with my uncle.
"Mr.? You are going to marry my daughter, please call me Tom."
I was feeling sick, scratch that, sad is the correct word. Why do I feel this way? Maybe I should jump to the drivers' seat, steal the truck and get out of here before they notice I am here.
"Leah, sweetheart what are you doing in there? Get out and give your aunt a big hug!" Damn it, they noticed.
"Hi aunt Tara," I said walking out of the car.
"Oh no! Are you ill?" my aunt said stopping her bear hug and putting her hand in my forehead. "You are so hot!"
"No!" I said keeping my distance from her. "This always happens when I am very happy, that's all," I explained with a nervous smile.
"Aren't you cute?" my aunt said believing everything. I know she is my mother's cousin, but they are so different that I don't know how my mom survived her childhood with her around.
"Emily!"
"Lina!"
Emily hugged a girl of black hair and green eyes while the other car arrived. I think I recognize her; she used to play with us when we were little kids and I used to spend my holidays in Neah bay. Well that was ten years ago, I don't remember very well.
"Mom, dad, Lina, let me introduce you to the rest of my friends," Emily said when we were all together. "This is Paul, Sam's best man; Kim and Rachel, my bridesmaids, and Jared, Kim's boyfriend."
"Paul and Rachel are dating, right?" my aunt asked and we nodded. "So Leah is the only one without a date."
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, I know where this is going and I don't like it at all. I looked at Emily asking for help, but before she could say anything, Lina put her arm around my shoulders and smiled widely.
"Don't worry Leah; I know a lot of guys who will be perfect for you!"
Paul and Jared tried not to laugh and my aunt invited us to her house to meet the rest of the family. I have a bad feeling about this, why did I listen to Jacob, why?
Neal's point of view
"Beautiful, just like I remembered her, beautiful."
"And here we go again…"
"Get out of my head Caleb."
"And miss this? No way. This is one of those few chances in life that I will have to see you making a fool of yourself."
I rolled my eyes when I heard my beta's thoughts. Caleb and I have been friends since we met in school many years ago. When I realized he had transformed too, I decided to name him my beta, he was the best choice. He is a tall guy with black hair, brown eyes and a soft heart; he is the one in charge to put my feet on the ground all the time and he always helps me to control myself when I loose it. He looks like a giant wolf with grey fur when he transforms and he is almost as fast as I am.
"Did we miss something?"
"We came as fast as we could!"
"Wow! So many new people!"
"What are you all doing here?" I asked with my mind turning around to see the rest of the pack. Let me introduce you to Derek (20), Rick (19) and Tristan (15).
"I called them," Caleb admitted. "You know, in case we need help."
"Help with what? I just came to here to see Emily."
"In your wolf form?" Caleb asked. "Why are you here spying when you could be over there introducing yourself?"
"I am… analyzing the situation," I said walking towards the bushes again.
"Is that Sam?" Tristan asked hiding behind a tree. "He is huge! He looks like you."
"Ha, don't make me laugh kid."
"I am not a kid!"
"Do you want us to kill him?" Rick asked excited.
"We are not going to kill anybody," Caleb said.
"Yet," I added.
"Neal!"
"What?"
"He stole our alpha's true love. I say we kick his ass, cut his body in a million pieces and then burn them in a big bonfire!"
"Nice," I commented when Tristan showed us an entire scene of Sam dying.
"No more TV for you," Caleb said. "Seriously Neal, what are you planning to do? Our powers are for killing vampires not to destroy weddings."
"I know, I know, let me talk to her and then I'll decide," I said.
"Oh boy."
"What did you just say Rick?"
"Nothing."
"I can read your mind you know?" he sighed.
"Is just that… we just found you here spying on her, do you really think you have the gust to talk to her?"
"What? You think I can't do it?"
"No," the answer came from four different minds.
"What is this? Hate your alpha day? I can do it! In fact, I am going to do it right now, well, after I put some cloth on."
"This is not going to have a happy ending," Derek said while we started to walk away from Emily's house.
"You seriously need to trust a little bit more in me guys."
"In the middle of a war, sure," Caleb said. "But when it comes to love…"
"She is going to break your heart." Derek interrupted.
"Maybe she will fall for him again when she sees him," Tristan said.
"Did you hear that Caleb? Hey, Tristan, want to become the new beta?" I asked him and Caleb growled.
"Yeah! And then you can introduce me Emily's cousin, she is hot!" The kid said remembering her.
The image of a pretty girl appeared in my mind. Curious, I haven't even notice she was there, I was too concentrated in watching Emily.
"Back off Tristan, that girl needs a real man and you are just a kid," Rick said.
"Someone like you?" Derek asked starting to laugh. "I'd like to see you try."
I pushed their thoughts to the back of my mind and I tried to focus on Emily. What was I going to tell her? I can't talk to her with her fiancée around, maybe I could ask Lina to do the bridesmaids' meetings in our house, that way we would meet 'casually', or at least that is not going to make me look like a stalker. The image of her in the nice, green dress that she was wearing made me smile.
"Why happened to her?" Tristan asked when he heard my thoughts. "Why does she have that scar in her face?"
"A bear attacked her in La Push", I answered remembering how she used to look like before the accident. "She still looks pretty to me, but people always stare at her like if she was some kind of freak."
"What was she doing in the middle of a forest with a bear?" Derek asked curious.
"No idea, all I know is that if she were my girlfriend, this wouldn't have happened to her."
"Oh come on!" Derek said.
"Just go to get dress and talk to the girl, we'll be patrolling around," Caleb said. "See you later Casanova."
"Wish me luck."
Trying to talk with Emily was more difficult than I expected. That afternoon I arrived home and I put some cloth on before walking towards Emily's house; it was very close to mine. When I arrived there… how can I describe it? Well, let's just say that the whole reservation had invaded the Young's house to congratulate the couple and meet the groom. When the people finally decided to leave, it was too late, so I decided to meet her the next morning. Unfortunately for me, when I arrived to her house and asked for her, her mother told me the couple had already left to a little trip around the area; apparently Emily wanted to show Sam her favorite's places in the reservation. Everyone thought it was cute, I just wanted to puke.
Three days; it's been three days since Emily's arrival and I still can't talk to her, in fact I was lucky to even see her the other day, it's like she is avoiding me or something. That's it! I am a genius! She is avoiding me because she still feels something for me and she knows that if we see each other again she won't be able to hide her feelings for me anymore! I have to see her! It doesn't matter if she left to Canada or something like that, I will find her!
Excited with my new discovery I got out of my room, ran downstairs, opened the front door and I almost run over my sister.
"Watch it Neal! What are you doing?" She said angrily blocking my way out.
"Sorry Lina, I don't have time now," I said trying to get out.
"There are vampires in the area?"
"What? No!"
"Then be a gentleman and help me with the bags," she said angrily giving me four plastic bags. "There are more in the car."
"Can't you ask someone else?" I asked resigned taking the bags to the kitchen.
"Well I don't see any other man with super strength around here, so stop complaining and hurry up, we are going to have a wedding meeting in the living room and the rest of the girls will arrive in a few minutes."
"Emily is coming?" I asked smiling widely.
"Of course she is, it's her wedding!"
Perfect. All I have to do is wait upstairs till the meeting is over, then I'll offer Emily to take her home and we'll talk, the truth will be reveal, I'll forgive her, she will say she loves me and we will live happily ever after.
"What is all this stuff for?" I asked looking at the bags which were full of crazy hats, white ties, flowers and girl stuff.
"It's for Emily's shower, the bachelor party, the ceremony, the reception and the honey moon," Lina explained.
"Do you really need all this things?" I asked amazed looking at the big amount of bags that were starting to fill the kitchen.
"This is exactly why men aren't in charge of planning the wedding," Lina sighed. "This is only one part of it. This is going to be the most important day of Emily's life and it has to be perfect! I'll make sure of it!"
"Ok, I think this wedding thing is driving you nuts."
"Laugh all you want big brother, but when people see how beautiful Emily's wedding is, they are all going to ask 'Who planned this?' and you will answer 'Lina did'."
"Crazy." I coughed trying not to laugh.
"You are an idiot."
"Calm down Lina, I am sure that after this wedding everyone is going to ask you to be their maid of honor."
"What are you talking about? I am just the bridesmaid. Emily chose her second cousin to be the maid of honor, although I don't understand why, that girl doesn't even care about this wedding."
I didn't say anything; no matter what I say she is probably going to start talking about her girl problems and I am not interested. The only reason I am staying here is because I want to see Emily.
"Have you met her?"
"Who?" I asked not paying attention.
"Emily's cousin; Leah Clearwater. You know, the girl that is causing a massive revolution on the males of the Makah reservation?"
"Oh, right, I think some of the guys mentioned her." I said remembering Tristan's thoughts.
"She is a nightmare," I gave her a questioning look; Lina never speaks like that about anybody. "I've never seen someone like her before; if she is not angry she is sad, if she is not irritated she is depressed. She always looks so serious and miserable, and every time I try to talk to her she gives me this 'I wish I could kill you right now' look."
"Well, that sounds…scary," was all I could say.
"And I don't know how she does it, I mean, she eats like a pig and she has an incredible body. I thought I was going to be able to get her a date for the wedding in just a few hours, but that girl scares everyone away!"
"Your friends are here." I said thanking for the possibility to get away from the drama.
"Really?" she asked excited walking towards the door. "Your super ears never cease to amaze me."
"They are not…oh, forget it", I said going upstairs when someone knocked the door.
I entered my room and I closed the door. Thanks to my extremely good senses or my super ears, like my sister likes to call it, I can hear everything that is going downstairs.
"Rachel! Kim! I am glad you made it!" my sister said.
"Hi Lina!" one of the girls said. "I know we are late, but we had some trouble in the way here."
"What happened Kim?"
The steps and the sound of the furniture indicated me that they were already in the living room.
"Well, we were talking about the shower when suddenly Sam appeared and decided to kidnap the bride."
"What?"
"Don't worry, he promised it was just for one hour and then he'll bring her here," Rachel assured her.
"Isn't it cute?" Kim said with a sweat voice and they all laughed.
"Do you want something to drink?" Lina offered and the girls followed her to the kitchen. "Sorry about this, I haven't organized it yet," she is probably talking about the bags.
"Lina this is amazing!" Rachel said.
"Yeah! Where did you find all this stuff?" Kim asked.
"I have my contacts," Lina answered laughing. "I hope Emily likes them."
"Believe me, she will." Rachel said.
"Oh by the way, where is Leah?" my sister asked and none of the girls answered. "Is something wrong?"
"No, no, we just haven't seen her around," Kim said.
"She is lost?"
"I don't think so," Rachel commented. "She probably is walking around or something, she has a lot of things to think about."
"Yeah, running around always help her to calm down."
"But she is going to come back, right?" Lina asked confuse. "I mean, we have a lot of things to do and she is supposed to be here giving us orders and telling us what to do."
"Maybe," Kim answered.
"Maybe?"
"We have to be patient with her Lina," Kim said.
"Yeah, I am surprise she hasn't kill anybody or burn all the reservation considering the situation," Rachel said like she was proud of the girl.
"What situation?"
"Oh my god, Rachel she doesn't know."
"Emily didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?" by her voice, I can tell my sister is about to have an anxiety crisis.
"Leah is Sam's ex-girlfriend," Rachel explained. "We thought you knew."
"I think she is in shock," Kim said when my sister didn't say anything.
"Leah and Sam were dating when Emily met him, and then… it was love at first sight," Rachel said trying to find a way to explain it. "Leah didn't take it very well, that's why she acts so weird all the time."
"But why did Emily ask her to be her maid of honor?" Lina asked.
"Emily still cares a lot about Leah, and if Leah accepted, then I think she cares about her too," Kim said.
"Or maybe she still cares about Sam," Rachel said. "It's a complicated situation."
"Wow, I had no idea of this," Lina commented.
They kept talking about wedding stuff and I stopped listening, I had more important things to think about. This Sam guy is unbelievable! I mean, I know any guy would leave his girlfriend for a girl like Emily, but one thing is to think about it and other thing is to do it, and he did it!. I haven't talk to him yet, but from all the things I know about him, I can tell he is just an insensitive guy with a huge ego. What if he hurts Emily? A guy that left her girlfriend for her cousin is capable of everything. Oh no, Emily is in real danger with this guy, I have to do something, I have to stop this wedding, I must intervene for everyone's sake!
Like it? Tell me what you think and what would you like to happen. Next chapter is ready and I'll update tomorrow; Neal is going to finally talk to Emily. Keep alert! REVIEW and have a nice day!
