12 True Love

Leah's point of view

Today is finally the wedding day; it's been three days since Neal disappeared and we still don't know anything about him. His absence is killing me, not only because he is not around me, but I don't know if he is in trouble or if he is ever going to come back. What if I never see him again? I don't even remember what was the last thing I told him! It probably was something like 'go away and leave me alone', I am such an idiot! He is the first good thing that has happened to me since… let's just say a very long time, and I screwed it!

"Leah where is Tara's dress?" Lina asked me for the third time.

"In that closet," I answered while I finished making a pony tail to Clair, who by the way was chosen like the flower girl; Quil is so proud of her! "You are ready to go Clair, just wait here."

"Where is Emily?" one of the aunts asked me.

"Hairstyle," I answered quickly indicating the other room.

One hour for the ceremony and everything is a chaos around here. We are in a little tent arranging the last details and everyone is making me solve their problems. I know, I am the maid of honor, that's my job, but all of this and my worries about Neal are going to destroy my nerves, the few that I have left.

"Leah!"

"What is it Kim?"

"Jacob is looking for you at the edge of the forest," she whispered to me.

"Thanks, I'll be back soon."

I ran out as fast as I could, which wasn't really fast because I am wearing hills and I am not used to use them. I prayed that this wasn't some kind of supernatural emergency; this would be the worst moment for something like that, but what else could be? Jacob was in charge of patrolling, what else could have happened?

"Jake?" I said getting close to the forest and he emerged from the darkness. "What happened?"

"Neal is back."

My heart stopped and I smile widely. Then I noticed Jacob was too serious and I started to get worried.

"Where is he?" I asked afraid of the answer.

"He wants to speak with you; he is on his way here, but…" Jacob paused. "Leah I talked with him while I was a wolf and he showed me something that he wants to show you too. It doesn't matter what your mind tells you, he is going to tell you the truth."

"What are you talking about?"

"I can't tell you, just remember that what he tells you is true, I'll see you later."

"Jake, wait!"

He didn't even glance at me and disappeared in the same direction that he came from. After a few minutes I saw a shadow getting closer and I felt a familiar scent.

"Neal."

"You look beautiful Leah," he said and I instantly blushed; I forgot I was wearing the light, blue dress.

I couldn't help it and I ran towards him trapping him in a tight hug. He surrounded my waste with his arms and I put my arms around his neck. He is taller than me, so I leaned my head on his chest and he put his head over mine.

"I missed you so much," I admitted wishing we could stay like this forever.

"Leah I have to tell you something," he said stopping the hug and stepping back.

"Me too, I need to apologize to you," I said looking at his marvelous eyes and leaving my stupid pride behind.

"Leah don't…"

"No! I need to do it. You didn't deserve the way I treated you and I really regret it. I pushed you away and now I realized that that was a big mistake. I am in love with you too Neal, but I didn't want to admit it, I was too afraid. I gave my heart once and they broke it in a million pieces, but you are not like that, I should have realized before."

"Leah…"

"Let me finish. I didn't want to get involve with you because I am very afraid of what Volturi told me that day. I care too much for you and I knew that if they ever come to find me, you were going to fight against them. I can't stand the idea of you getting hurt because of me, but then I talked with the other imprints and they made me realized that if you imprinted me, well, there has to be a reason for that. I am ready now, I want to take the risk and I want to be there for you, just like you've been there for me. I am sorry Neal, I really am."

He didn't react the way I thought he would; he just stood there, with a very serious face. Why is he looking at me like that? What does this mean?

"Neal?"

"You need to know something," he said breathing deeply. "Leah I broke the imprint bond."

I was too shock to say anything, to think anything, even to breathe… I feel like the most stupid person in the whole world. Here I am, confessing all my love to the man I love and it turns out he doesn't love me anymore. He broke the imprint bond because I ordered him to stay away from me. Congratulations, I got my wish.

"That's impossible," I whispered shaking my head.

"Remember what Jacob told you?"

"It doesn't matter what your mind tells you, he is going to tell you the truth." Jake had been in his mind, he had seen the broken bond and he had tried to alert me.

"How?" was the only thing that I was able to say. I still can't believe this is happening; please someone tell me this is a nightmare, please!

"You told me that what mattered to you was my will, you wanted me to be free, so I spent the last three days and nights trying to make it happened. I loved you too much, and if that was what you wanted then I had to find the way to do it, and I did."

I wanted to ask how on earth he had done it; I mean, I know Sam tried, but he failed, so everyone thought it was impossible; but he was able to do it, I couldn't even speak anymore. All I wanted to do was to run away and cry, shout and keep crying.

"Leah I need to ask you, what you just told me, is it true?"

"I love you Neal," I told him feeling the tears against my cheeks.

"It's funny you know, the only way I found to break the bond was thinking in how much I loved you and how much you wanted me to be free. Both ideas, together broke the bond; my loved for you was so strong that I was determined to not come back until I broke it, but thinking about you all the time made me fall for you even more, if that's even possible."

I looked at his eyes again, even if it hurts me, is he saying what I think he is saying?

"I came back for you Leah."

"What?"

"Even after breaking the imprint bond, all I could think about was you, I am in love with you Leah, and you'll have to deal with that you like or not."

I started to cry again, now of happiness. I walked towards him and I pushed him hard.

"You jerk! Couldn't you just tell me that from the beginning?" I asked him angrily trying to push him again, but Neal caught my hands in the process and he pulled me towards him.

He trapped me with his strong arms and caught my lips with his. I instantly returned the kiss and I let myself get carried away by the moment. This wasn't a cute and caring kiss like the ones we have shared before; this one was full of passion and desire. For one moment, we forgot about all the things that were happening around us, just for a few seconds we concentrated in our love and we enjoyed our freedom.

Feeling his warm lips against mine is one of the best sensations ever and his scent is driving me crazy. If only he knew the things he is doing to me. There is no one like him, he is my little piece of sky and I am not going to share it with anybody. I'll die for him any day of my life and I tried to show him how I feel with the kiss; he needs to know that I would do anything to keep him by my side forever.

We separated only for the need of air and he leaned his forehead over mine; his eyes never leaving mine.

"Let's get out of here."

"What?"

"You heard me. We have to get away from here."

"Away from where?"

"The wedding, the reservation, Neah Bay, you know."

"What? Where do you want to go?"

"Wherever you want to go; Canada, Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil…"

"I don't want to go to Brazil."

"What about Argentina? I heard they have great food there."

"Neal the wedding is going to start any second and I need…"

"I am kidnapping you."

"What?" Before I could say anything else he lifted me up bride style. "Neal! What are you doing? Put me down!"

"No more imprint bond, remember? Too bad, you can't order me around any more," he said while he started to run away through the forest.

"Oh, shut up!"

"Sorry, I am in a chatty mood."

"Laugh all you want, but when the rest discover that the maid of honor is missing, they are not going to like it."

"They'll survive without you and I am sure Lina has everything under control. Besides you are enjoying this as much as I am."

"Yes I am," I admitted.

"Argentina here we go!"

"Neal you are running in the wrong direction."

"You are ruining my moment woman."

"Sorry."

He left a sweet kiss on my lips and he continued running. And that's how we started our new adventure together, truly, madly and deeply in love.
