Chapter 3

Rivalry

Sam's Point of View:

As I peeked through Leah's window, I saw her beautiful face in deep concentration. She was probably thinking about something hard and how things aren't the way they're suppose to be.

I knocked lightly on her window and I saw that she went to her desk and grab the pepper spray. I laughed at her, she was so native sometimes. She walked to the window slowly and I popped my head up, which scared her. I felt accomplished in that second. She scowled at me, which just cause me to die in laughter.

"I hate how your room has to be upstairs, but thanks goodness there is a tree right next to it," I said. It was a pain the ass getting up here sometimes, especially when the leaves and tree stubs would get stuck into my hair.

"Uh-huh," was her respond. She looked mad at me.

"Are you mad because I laughed at you?" I asked and I knew there was smirk on my face.

"Somewhat," she said.

"How could I make it up to you Lee?" I asked.

"I don't know, what you do think?"

"I think I should do this," I said striding over to her and kissed her. Lips crushed together moving perfect. My mouth between her bottom lip, her breath, as her skin touched mine, the animal in me came back. I had her on the bed before, she even knew it.

"Do you forgive me now?" I mumbled as she laid her hands on my chest.

"Somewhat," she said teasingly.

I looked at her beautiful brown eyes and with I grin on my face, I began to nibble on her ear. I just was about to get her shirt before, I stopped. This was going to be dangerous consider, I could bruise her delicate body so easily.

"We can't," I stated nonchalantly.

"Why not?" she demand.

"It's too dangerous," I stated as a matter-of-fact.

"Uh, Sam, if you hadn't notice we had done this before, more than once. It didn't seem that dangerous, it seem passionate."

"I know, but I'm a monster now and I don't know if I can contain myself."

"Sam, what the hell? What are you talking about? You're still Sam, you're not a monster. Stop telling yourself that. Sam just please talk to me about this."

"I'm going to lose you Lee, and I can't lose you," I said starting to shake.

"You're not going to lose me, I'll stick by your side Sam. I'm the one afraid of losing you because of your sudden change."

God, did I have to make her feel this way. We both felt like we were going to lose each other. She started to cry and I felt a stab in my heart. I'm making her hurting and I was raised never to hurt a girl. My mom raised me to treat girls with respect. She raised me good, alone, without my asshole of a father.

Leah then started to sob on my shoulders. I didn't know what to say. I felt remorse wash over me.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be," she said almost inaudible due to her constant sobbing that I had caused. Those goddamn vampires ruin everything, if it weren't for them, me and Leah would be happy as hell right now.

"I promise to stay by your side until I have no choice," I said.

"Let's just cherish the moment," she mumbled.

She fell asleep in my arms. She was cradled against my side, her arms around my waist. I had my hands into her hair, stroking it.

I didn't sleep, I was too busy staring into her face. She looked peacefully, and I felt happy that she mumbled my name in her sleep. It made me feel pretty darn special, that she thought about me in her sleep too.

It was when she screamed, that made me want to just have my life ended.

"Please, don't go!" she screamed stirring around in her bed.

"I'm right here, Leah," I said quietly into her ear.

"No, you can't, no. Jake go find him. He's gone again," she mumbled quietly a tear rolling down her copper skin. Her eyes were glistening and I could her repeating, "please don't go Sam."

I felt like I was going melt right there. I hate being there reason she's scared, the reason her happy personality changed, I hated being the reason for her hurt. I hated it all. I don't fucking want to be werewolf. I don't fucking want to be this furry beast, I want to be normal and with my Leah.

I wanted all these things, but I knew it wasn't going to happy. My wolf gene already got triggered thanks to the Cullens. I wanted to kill them all, but I had to follow the stupid treaty.

I realized I started to shake I thought of there unhappy thoughts. Leah was sweating, stirring in her sleep and that made me stop shaking. My mind went back to thoughts of Leah.

"Leah," I said shaking her awake. I couldn't stand watching her sleep like this.

"Humph," she mumbled, her eyes slowing opening awake.

"What time is it?" she asked.

I glanced over at the clock and mumbled "nine in the morning." I was surprised at how fast time went when I was with Leah.

"Your still here," she said surprised.

"Yeah," I mumbled.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Huh?"

"Your face, you look as if your angry at something," she stated.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something," I said.

She opened her mouth, but decided not to say anything.

"Did I say something in my sleep?" she asked.

"No, you just said my name."

"Anything else," she said raising an eyebrow at me.

"No," I lied. I didn't want to tell her about the screaming she did. I'm surprised no one came up into her room to check on her.

"Okay then," she said putting her soft, red lips onto mine.

As she did that, my hands went instinctively onto her waist and onto her soft face. Her hands were on my waist and her other hand was tangled into my hair.

We started to panting as she got on top of me. At the moment I didn't care, I wanted Leah, I craved for her body to be touching mine.

We kissed and kissed each other anywhere we could. My bottom lip was between her lips and she pulled on it slightly, panting. I rolled her over and kissed her causing her to moan. I felt accomplished because every time I kissed her she heart rate would increase.

I think that was what happened with mine too. She had such a big effect on me. Everything she did could destroy me at any second.

"Leah!" shouted Seth.

"Oh shit," she mumbled.

"I'll be leaving now and I promise you I will come back before sundown," I said kissing her on her beautiful, full lips again before I jumped out the window.

Leah's Point of View:

Today was the best morning in my life before Seth decided to ruin it by calling me. I was just thankful he didn't end up barging into my room and seeing me and Sam make out.

"Leah, get up breakfast is ready," he said.

"Alright then," I said.

"Oh, mom says you should be able to go to school on Monday, since you missed some for when you ran away and for when Sam was gone and now he's back."

"Thanks for stating the obvious I already was," I said ruffling my little brother's hair.

"Do you always have to do something irritating?" he asked.

"Of course, it's what I do," I said walking down the stairs.

"Mom, left with dad," Seth said. "I believe they're going to some movie of musical thing."

"Okay," I said as Seth handed me a plate of food, which I happily ate.

"Jacob's come over today and you could tell Sam to, if you want."

"Aright, I'll call Sam right now."

I pressed in Sam's number and waiting until someone would answer.

"Hello?" yelled Sam.

"Uh, hey there Sam," I said.

"Oh, my bad, I thought it was going to be Paul again."

"Paul, since when did you hang out with him?"

"I don't know, I just started I guess," he said.

"Well do you want to come over and hang out. My mom and dad are out and Seth and Jacob are going to be here. I know you said before sundown, but I want to hang out with you for a bit."

"Sure, I'll be there around noon I guess. I'm going to be a bit late.

"Okay," I said. "Bye Sam."

"Bye Leah, I love you."

"I love you too," I said putting the phone back into the receiver.

"Sam coming?" Seth asked.

"Yeah," I said.

"Cool," he said and there was knock on the door.

"My guess was Jacob."

"Hey there Seth, your dad home?" asked Charlie. I guessed wrong.

"No, sir, is there anything you need?" Seth asked oh so politely.

"No, it's just my daughter is coming to live with me and I wanted your dad and mom's opinions on things, I guess," he said nervously. Charlie was never one with words.

"Well I'll tell them once they are here."

"Thanks Seth, your such a good kid," Charlie said before waving at us and leaving.

I was waiting as the time ticked on. Jacob didn't bother knocking as he entered my house ten minutes after Charlie. He walked in as if it were his house as well.

"Leah," he said nodding his head at me.

"Jacob," I said back with a smile and he grinned at me.

Sam walked into the house six minutes later.

"Lee-Lee," he said sweetly as he bended his head down to kiss me lightly.

"Sammy bear," I said as he pulled away with his eyebrows raised up at me. Seth laughed along with Jacob.

"Uh, Lee, Sammy is just fine," he said.

"Embarrassed?"

"Kind of," he murmured.

"Good," I said. I didn't mean to say bear afterwards, I guess he was offended by my words. It wasn't that bad.

Sam seemed to meet the gaze of Jacob and they looked angrily at each other. I didn't get those two. Jacob was like my brother and mine's best friend and Sam was my man, I didn't understand why the hell couldn't they get along.

"Sam," Jacob said bitterly.

"Jacob," Sam spat just as disrespectful as Jacob did.

"What the hell is with you two? Your all happy and as soon as you both are in the room together you get all bitter!"

"Leah, calm down, it has nothing to do with you," Sam said.

"Yeah Lee, it's just I don't like your jackass of a boyfriend," Jacob said giving Sam a disgusted look.

"I feel the same back to your dumbass of a friend," Sam said glaring at Jacob.

"Well, if you both would try to get along for me that would be fucking fantastic, I don't like the rivalry."

"Well, I'll keep my mouth shut for when your around," Sam said.

"I'll try, but I'll probably not succeed."

"Seth, do something to ease the mood," I said.

"I don't know what to do," he said.

"Get them food," I suggested. Sam laughed at that.

"Yeah, food is the way to make two guys who can't stand each other feel better."

They ate and at the sound of howl of a wolf Sam left. He said it was a sign for something.

The enjoyed and helped themselves to food and video games as I walked around cleaning for them. Damn, I always ended up having to clean after my brother and his friends. If I got paid for doing this shit I would have a fortune.

Jacob left as Quil came over asking him for advice on cars. I went to my room and Seth continued to play video games.

Sam came crawling up my window as I entered my room.

"Hey beautiful," he said.

"Sam," I said. I noticed his face look completely drained. I laid my hand on his face and his face lit up.

"What's going on hun?" he asked putting his hand on my cheek.

"You look exhausted, what's going on?" I asked. "Don't say I'm fine, tell me what's going on. I want to be here for you, but you don't tell me anything."

"Nothing really."

"You're lying. There is so much going on with you. I see your tired face everyday, I noticed you are keeping secrets, I want to be here. Stop telling me nothing because I know damn right there is something!" I shouted. He breathed in heavily.

"It's this new job," he said sighing.

"You never told me about this. What do you do now?"

"Well, I do have a job. I'm a protector."

"A protector?" I questioned.

"Yes, a protector, that's all I can tell you," he said.

"Are you up to something?" I asked.

"No, that's all you need to know, like I've told you numerous times think about the legends. I'm not doing anything bad. I need for you to trust me," he said looking into my eyes and he was pleading me. How could I say no?

"Of course I trust you. The legends have to do with, werewolves, cold ones, treaty, and so much more," I said. I noticed he looked angry as I mentioned the cold ones.

"Yes, maybe you'll find the answer. Just think and if you find out, then there will be no more secrets."

"I hate this," I stated.

"I know babe, I hate it too."

"Why can't we be completely honest with each other? I want to know."

"You already know the answer to that. It's just when the time comes, when it'll come it'll come."

"I want it to come right now," I grumbled.

"You're too cute when you pout," he stated putting his fingers onto my lips.

"I know, and your too goddamn sexy," I said noticing he didn't have his shirt on and he was completely sexy and muscular. I put my hands on his abs moving my hand up and down.

"I know," he murmured picking me up and rolling me onto of him as he laid on the bed.

We started to kiss each other and my mind was pounding. My body craved for his touched, it wanted him close and near.

"Leah," he said.

"Yeah," I said between the kiss.

"I'm going to break all the rules today," he said.

I looked into his eyes and he looked motivated.

"Okay then," I said enthusiastically.

He kissed my aggressively and I smiled as he pulled off my shirt and my bra without any help from me. It seemed like, he was about ready just to pull my clothes off with his teeth and shred it into pieces.

"Leah, gosh I want you so much," he said his warm breath tickling into my ear.

"Sam I want you too, more than ever," I said as I realized there were no more clothes separating us. He was on top now and I could feel him inside of me. My nails were scratching into his back and his started to kiss me on my cheek and into my hair.

"Right now, nothing could ruin this moment," I said. He agreed, but as a howling into the dark night of a wolf ruined it all. He was gone in a blink of an eye and memories from the nights searching for him flashed into my mind. The memories of that horrible night as I left La Push to find out the horrible truth.
