Leah's Point of View

I stared at the faded blue wallpaper that lined the walls of my hotel room. It was early morning, and I just woke up.

I knew I had get up; I had to look for a job, but my mind was clouded with sleep and I wanted to crawl back into bed.

Luckily, my phone rang and woke me up. I grabbed it off the bedside table, not looking at the caller ID before I flipped it open.

"Hello?" I asked, a bit groggily.

"Leah?" I knew this voice to well, and I felt all the blood run from my face.. "Is that you?"

"Yeah. What do you want, Sam?" I asked, starting to feel the extremeness of my loneliness.

"Where are you?" He asked his voice sad.

"Why should I tell you?"

"I need to know where you are." He stated.

"Oh, yeah. Right." I scoffed, hanging up. He didn't need me, so he didn't know where I was. Simple.

I needed to write. I needed to do something other think about how alone I was.

-

Mom smiled at me, and brushed the hair from my face. "You look beautiful, honey." She kissed the top of my head, and waved me out of the kitchen.

I walked into the living room, where dad was sitting on the couch reading the paper. "Hey, dad."

He looked up at me, and smiled. "Well, don't you look beautiful." He said, but then frowned. "Ready to go?" He asked, setting the paper down beside him.

"Yeah, pretty much." I told him.

"Great…" He said, looking over his shoulder when mom came out of the kitchen with a camera.

"Oh, mom." I said, groaning. She knows I hate pictures.

"Come on, Leah. This is prom. You're going to want to remember it." She said, begging.

"I have a good memory." I answered, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Well we don't." Mom said. She had a point there.

There was a nock at the door and mom scampered off to open the door for Sam.

"Hey, Mrs. Clearwater." He said, as he walked past her and into the living room where I stood. He looked at me, smiling. "You look beautiful." He told me, taking my arm. "Don't fight the pictures." He begged, and kissed my cheek.

"Fine." I pouted.

"Smile." He whispered.

"Fine." I smiled at my mom and she took the picture.

-

After what seemed like a century of picture taking, Sam led me out to his car, which was waiting outside. "Did I tell you? You look beautiful." He stated, kissing my cheek before he opened my door.

"Yeah.. About eight times." I said, laughing. "But thanks."

"Oh, I haven't said it nearly enough." He said, closing the door behind me. Seconds later he was sitting beside me in his little car, smiling at me.

"Alright." I sighed.

We drove for a moment in silence, and I watched the town pass by as we sped down the road. After a moment Sam stopped the car in the school parking lot and he turned to me. "Here we go." He stated, opening his door and appearing seconds later at mine.

"How did you do that?" I asked, confused.

"Um.. I'm exited." He answered, helping me out of the car and steering me to the open doors (the outside doors) of the gym.

"Okay." I excepted.

"Have I-" I cut him off.

"Yes, Sam, you have. Thanks." I said, feeling myself blush, but knowing he couldn't see it was pretty dark out here.

"Does that embarrass you?" He asked, laughing quietly as we walked through the doors.

"No… Not exactly. Don't make me explain it." I begged.

"Okay, okay." He said, smiling at me. I didn't like the look in his eyes, even though it was really hot. "Want to dance?" He asked, and I understood the look now. I was a terrible dancer (or at least I thought I was) and he knew it. He frowned at the look on my face. "Oh, come Leah. It's prom! This is a slow dance anyway." He said, pulling me to the dance floor.

"I guess I don't really have a choice." I noted, letting him pull me the way.

We stood there for a moment and he laughed. "Don't be difficult, my dear." He begged, putting his arms around me… Huh. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. I reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck. When did he get this tall?

"You better not get any taller." I teased. "I won't be able to reach."

He laughed at me and pulled me closer. "I love you." He whispered and I smiled at him. I stood up on the very tips of toes, but I couldn't reach. "Haha. You're short." He joked, leaning down so I could kiss him.

"You're tall." I whispered against his lips.

"I'm sorry." He said, laughing.

"Me too." I answered, leaning my head against his warm chest. "Hum…" I pondered.

"What is it, love?" He asked, playing with a strand of my hair.

"This isn't too bad." I mused. "It's kind of nice."

He laughed and kissed the top of my head. "Yeah. It is." He answered.

-

I sat there in the bed and cried. I was alone. This was never going to happen. What's the point?

Sam and I had been perfect. The perfect love, until he imprinted. Our story deserved to be told, even if only two people ever read it.

I wiped the tears away, and grabbed my laptop. I hooked it up to the internet and started researching.

I had to have a place to go. I had to find some place to be. I wasn't staying here. Not Seattle. It was too big. I needed a small town.

Not Forks.

Not La Push.

-

After what seemed like a year I found a town as small as or smaller than La Push just a few miles away from here. I smiled to myself and then closed my lap top…

I would leave in the morning and soon I'd have to find a job and an apartment. I couldn't live out of a hotel.

Well.. There was a chapter. :) How did you like it? I know it was great! :)

Okay, I'm begin serious now. If you hated it, tell me. If you loved it, tell me. If you wish I would stop here and not go on, tell me (though I probably won't.. I'm kind of into it, now that you guys talked me into finishing it with more than two chapters! But still, review and tell me. Then just forget about it. I'm not stopping now! I'm in love with my new character… Oops. You don't know about him. SORRY.) If you love love love it, tell me.

Basically, if you have any feelings at all, tell me.

Okay. Wrong. Even if you don't, tell me. Haha. Just put a smiley face or a frowny face if you're in a hurry! That'll only take, what five seconds? No. Less. :) That took me maybe two seconds! So come on, just say SOMETHING.

Nice. Bad. Awful.

It's good. It sucks.

I like it. I love it. I hate it.

All acceptable options! (except the negative ones.. Those aren't acceptable!) :) Don't forget the smileys. They need to be loved.

You could even do this: 3. Simple.
