'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
it's you I breathe
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone

Everywhere- Michelle Branch

Jacob

I closed my phone and paced along a section of the beach. This was going to be it; I knew Leah didn't hear when I told her I liked her back. Now that I knew she liked me, I was a little less nervous about what I was going to say to her. Actually, saying I was a little nervous was a huge understatement.

"Come on Jake, you got this." I started saying to myself. "Just tell her you like her too, and be done with it!" Like they say, that was easier said than done, and I mean way easier. Nothing like what they do in the movies, I mean the guy never professes his love under the light of the moon, holding the girl. Besides, if I tried that with Leah she might kick me where the sun will never ever shine.

I turned around and just peered at the road, hoping that I'd see Leah walking towards here soon. I stood there as I heard the wave's crash against the shore and let myself think about this a bit more. Okay, so when she shows up how am I going to tell her I like her? Do I just blurt it out? Ease her into it maybe? There were so many ways to tell someone you liked them, but when it comes down to choosing the right one it's always the hardest part of the confession.

Finally, I saw a figure walking towards the beach. I causally walked towards Leah, trying to keep myself calm as she came into full view. I guess I really had woke her up from her sleep, her hair was messily tied up in a pony tail, and she was wearing sandals, navy sweat pants and a t-shirt.

She never looked more beautiful.

"So Jake, what was so important that I had to get out of my comfortable and drag my ass here?" She said, stopping just a couple steps away from me. A new kind of plan was already forming in my head as I smirked towards her and held out my hand. She looked hesitant, almost as if she didn't know whether to trust me or not, she took it however and I pulled her up beside me.

"I have to talk with you about something...that's uh really important and concerns us." Her head immediately snapped to look at me. I think she was already thinking the same thing I was, because the look on her face looked a bit scared.

"What about us?" She asked coolly, trying to keep her voice as strong as she could. I held back a smirk because she probably thought I was about to dump her. We'd come near the shoreline when I stopped, Leah was giving me a confused look.

"Leah, can I tell you something?" I had no idea why, but I felt the sudden need to ask for her permission to tell her I love her. She nodded slowly not knowing what to expect from me next.

"Leah, when you told me you liked me back at the Cullen's..." I didn't even get to finish my sentence before she took a step back, away from me.

"Look Jake...I understand your whole thing with Renesmee, just tell you have no feelings for me...and be done with it." Even though I could not see them, I could hear the tears in her voice. I took a step closer to her and lifted her chin to look me in the eyes. This was it; I was going to tell right now.

"Leah, I'm not here to break your heart. The truth is that as soon as you told me you liked me...I told you I liked you back. I told the shit off Bella when she insulted you, and I'm sorry if she took it out on you, but Leah I love you." I saw her expression change from upset to pure shock, so I continued. "I don't care about the imprint anymore, it still hurts but I still remember that night you comforted me and made it all go away. I've loved for since I began to protect you from those leeches. I will always love you Leah, because now I finally understand there will never be anyone better for me then you."

The next thing I did was more of a cliché impulse; I closed the distance between us and kissed her. I wrapped an arm around her waist as I deepened the kiss. I felt her lips part against my tongue as the kiss become more passionate and intense. When we separated, there was just that one single moment between us.

"Do you really think that Black? You know how much of a bitch I really am. I don't know if you could put up with that." She said as she slipped her hand into mine and began walking down the beach. I barked out a laugh that would make most people think I'm crazy.

"Oh, I can handle everything about you Leah, you just have to worry about putting up with me." I smirked at her as she pretended to gag at the thought.

"What's going to happen with Bella and Renesmee?" I turned to look at her. She looked a bit concerned about what she had asked.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Just so I can ready myself for all the hate mail, of course!" She threw her hands up in the air dramatically. I took this chance to wrap my right arm around her waist and pull her back in, closer to me. I was starting to feel the mixture of heat between the both of us. I felt Leah's head rest on my shoulder and I smiled at the gesture.

"I don't think they'll be bothering you much. Bella got it all out when she was lecturing me about relationships, earlier today." I heard her sight loudly at my response.

"What happens if I imprint on somebody?" Leah asked and I slowed my pace. Yeah, I knew there was still the possibility of that happening. We both knew that another imprint would just make things harder on our new relationship, but for Leah…I was willing to go along with it.

"We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. For now, let's just worry about us, okay?" She shook her head before looking up at me and nodding. We both stopped walking and just stood there, looking at each other. I don't give a damn shit how cliché this is, but all I could do right now is look into her eyes. Damnit, I was now officially becoming a softy.

"Maybe we should start heading back Lee, I can't imagine what you're going to be like in the morning with any sleep." I teased her and she moved away from me, just so she could punch me in the arm. I fake injury and she just laughed as we continued walking.

"Actually... I was thinking, maybe you and I could do something off by the rocks? Where no one can see us..." She trailed off with a mischievous grin. I knew where she was going with this, she wanted to have sex. Since I am such an idiot, I had to think this over for almost a minute. I pulled her closer to me and placed a soft kiss on her lips.

Like I said, for Leah I was willing to go along with just about anything.

2 years later. Leah

"So, when are you two finally going to get married?" Seth asked Jake and me as we walked, hand in hand into the house. Jacob and I had been dating for two years now, and I swear to God that Seth wasn't the only one asking us this question.

"Soon enough, as soon as I finish college and get a job, at least." Jacob turned to smile at me and I just shook my head. He wanted to work as a mechanic and needed to take at least a couple courses to get the job. I on the other hand was going was doing some online college courses. No matter how odd this really sounds, I decided to become a news reporter in Seattle.

"Why so concerned Seth?" I mocked him and he rolled his eyes at me. Seth had imprinted on a girl who was visiting La Push seven months ago. Let's just say she decided to move to La Push after meeting Seth, I have to admit the kid had done good.

"No reason, I just want to know when you two are finally going to get a start on your new lives," Seth made a kissy face, and I wanted to smack him so hard. I sucked it up however, when I felt Jake's arm resting on my shoulders. I felt more than lucky I didn't imprint yet, and hopefully I never would. Jacob was way too nice of a guy to pass up for a complete stranger.

"Maybe next year we'll tie the knot. I don't want to rush it though; Leah and I still have school to finish. After that I think we can make some plans about settling down." He gave me a cocky grin and I knew what he meant by settling down. I was trying so hard to control my phasing, so that maybe, just maybe we could have a kid. Jacob kept on telling me not to worry, and that we'll find some way one day.

You know, the more that I think about the last two years, the more I grew too really like my life a hell of a lot more. I mean, Bella and Renesmee hadn't bothered me or Jake again, I had an awesome boyfriend, and I was going back to school. Heck, in the next year of two I'm probably getting married.

"Yo Seth, we're heading back to the apartment. Tell Sue she can call us tomorrow morning okay?" Seth just nodded before grabbing the bag of Doritos and opening them with his teeth. I let Jacob lead me outside, before we got to his car he stopped.

"You know, I'm thinking about having our wedding a whole lot sooner," I gave him a confused look before he dropped to one knee. I could not believe it...

"Leah Clearwater, I love you now and I'll love you forever. Will you marry me?" He exposed a little black box with a ring inside. The tiny diamonds shimmered in the afternoon sun.

"Yes, Jacob. I will."

End.
