Leanna's POV

I looked through the Nicholas Sparks books slowly… I was searching for one book in particular of his… The Rescue… but it was hard to search when my mind was so thoroughly occupied with something else…

The man who'd looked at me. The man with the dark brown eyes. (The man who, quite frankly, looked very HOT). The man who had been staring at me as much as I had been staring at him… HE was still lingering in my thoughts. When he'd looked at me in the eyes, I felt like I'd known him before… I felt like I should have gone over a spoke with him, like it was the most natural thing in the world for me to have a conversation with him. I felt… captivated…

I shook my head, then, trying to clear my thoughts as I finally found the book I was looking for and plucked it off of the shelf… Then I headed over to the journal section, where Rae was, after deciding I didn't want to (NEED to there were so many things IWANTED but I needed to save money for a dress…) buy anything else.

"Find anything you liked?" I asked Rae after I'd spotted her and walked up behind her.

Rae looked at me over her shoulder and smiled, her only answer being showing me the journal in her hand. It was very pretty with a jean cover on it, a peace sign sewed into the front of it and a recycle symbol sewed on the back. It was fairly large and obviously a sketch pad.

"Sweet," I commented, nodding my head in approval. "Is that all you wanted to get?"

Rae shrugged. "For the most part… Of course, there are many books I want… –"she looked into her purse and showed me how much money she had left "– but I still need money for a dress, or else I'd split the cost and buy the whole store with you."

I grinned. She knew me so well.

Just then, I saw Leslie out of the corner of my eye. She noticed us, also, and quickly rushed over to us, bouncing up and down with a book in her hands.

"They have it, they have it, they have it!" she squealed happily and excitedly.

Rae laughed, gesturing to the book she was gripping in her hands. "We can see that," she teased.

"NOW, all we have to do is find Ivy and we can go to Macy's," Leslie sang happily, still grinning. "Once I have my dress, my shopping list will be completed."

As she spoke, I suddenly realized something very obvious… When we'd seen those hot guys earlier (especially the one who was still in the back of my mind), I'd still looked like I'd peed myself. I moaned, HOPEFULLY they hadn't noticed, but it was still utterly embarrassing…

"What's wrong?" Rae asked as I sank to my knees, my back leaning up against a near-by shelf and my head in my hands.

"Those hot guys back there totally think I peed myself, probably…" I groaned, shaking my head in utter disbelief.

Leslie and Rae laughed and I hid my face even more.

"Don't worry," Leslie told me, squatting down next to me and laying a hand on my shoulder. "You didn't have a chance with any of them anyways."

I looked up and stuck my tongue out at her. "WAY to make me feel better," I said sarcastically.

Leslie just beamed. "No prob," she said.

"You know what, who cares what those guys think," Rae told me. "They were out of ALL of our leagues and girls probably drool over them all the time. They have millions of people to choose from, why would they choose us?"

I nodded. "Yeah… I guess you're right…"

"Besides, what are the chances that they even noticed? For all you know the only thing they could have seen was my jacket," Rae pointed out and I was comforted even more.

I smiled up at her. "Thanks," I told her and she nodded, holding out her hand to me. I took the offer and she helped me up.

"Anytime girl," she said, smiling.

Just then, as if the fates were with us at the moment, Ivy skipped over, a CD in hand. She showed it to us happily.

"Ke$ha baby!" she sang like Leslie had earlier.

Rae and I laughed. Then, Rae spoke. "So we can check out now?" she assumed. We all nodded and then we headed to the check out by the mall entrance.

We waited as we each bought out items, then we headed out of the store and began to make our way to Macy's….

…. …. …. ….. …. …. ….

"Ooh, ooh, oh!" Leslie suddenly exclaimed. Rae, Ivy and I all turned to look at her.

"What is it?" Rae asked and Leslie whipped out a beautiful navy-blue dress.

"Leanna, this dress was MADE for you," she told me, holding it out for me to examine it.

"I agree with her," Rae told me. "Navy-blue is just your color."

"Go try it on!" Ivy told me, snatching up the dress, handing it to me, and shoving me towards the nearest changing room.

"Okay, okay, I'm going," I told her and she beamed, halting in her pushing but still following me until I got to the dressing rooms. I headed into an open one and closed the door behind me.

I quickly changed into the dress and examined myself in the mirror in the changing room. I loved it. Then, I headed out and showed my friends.

They were waiting for me.

Ivy squealed in delight and Leslie and Rae were beaming.

"It looks awesome on you!" she told me happily. Then, she made me turn around, but she decided she still liked it.

"Awesome, it's perfect, and it's on sale," Rae told me. I looked at the price tag and smiled, it was in my price range.

This was turning out to be a perfect day.

I quickly changed back into my other clothes and then began to look for jeans I could buy with the money I had left. I found some cute bleached ones on sale and bought them with my dress quickly (after trying the jeans on). Then, I went back to my friends, ripped the tags off of the jeans and changed into them. I gave Rae her jacket back and smiled.

Rae ended up finding a really cute turquoise and green dress and Leslie found an adorable purple one.

"Well," Ivy started, "at least none of our dresses match. Mine is orange."

I looked at Leslie's dress again. "I'm surprised your mom would let you wear a strapless dress…"

Leslie grinned. "I doubt she will, but I have the perfect little coat to go over it along with the cutest heels," she told us proudly. "She's just gonna have to suck it up."

I was about to say something whenever Marissa (Rae's mom) walked over to us.

"Girl's do you have everything?" she asked us. When we nodded, she smiled. "Good, because we have to go soon, Mr. Summers has a barbeque started and if we leave now we should get home in time for them to be done."

We all nodded again, mumbling some things of agreement and followed her out of the store and over to her Sedan with our purchased items. We put all of our things (minus our purses) in the trunk and then Leslie, Ivy and I (in that order) climbed into the backseat. Rae climbed into the passenger seat and her mom got in the driver's seat.

Then, she started up the car and we began the drive home.

N POV

After we hung out a joked around at the sports store for a while, Trey finally convinced me to go to Kay's and get Amber a necklace.

Then, we headed to Buffalo Wild Wings and ate (only a little, shockingly, for we knew there was food waiting for us at the reservation) before heading back to the rez in our two vehicles; MY Jeep Wrangler and Jack's F250.

We took mostly the main highway (NOT the interstate) and the back roads to get there… It took us about 45 minutes (we drove fast), but soon, the Mississippi started coming into hearing range.

We drove into the small town of River Valley, the only town on the reservation (about 20 minutes north of Perryville).

Shayne and Leo (who were in the back of my Jeep) grinned when we saw the first few houses. They unbuckled and stood up in the back of the vehicle, sitting on one of the beams on top.

Then, they began to howl.

Trey laughed and climbed into the back of Jack's pick-up (out the window, of course) and began to howl too as he stood in the back of it.

Jack rolled down his window and began to howl too. I rolled my eyes.

"Be quiet!" I told them sternly. They all grew quiet.

"Man… you're a party pooper…" Shayne muttered under his breath and I flashed a glare back at him. A terrified look came to his face and he pressed his lips together firmly.

"There ARE other people here," I reminded him and he simply nodded, still looking a bit concerned by my reaction (in a teacher's-gonna-kill-me way).

I stopped the Jeep in front of Jay's house and Jack parked behind me. The boys all scrambled out, grinning crazily again.

Jasmine came out of the house grinning, the smell of freshly baked lasagna was coming out of the house.

Jay grinned and hopped out of Jack's vehicle. He dashed over to Jasmine and scooped her up into a hug. She began laughing as he spun her around, her arms in a tight lock around his neck.

I smiled, but my heart panged a bit, even thought I couldn't even imagine thinking about Leanna the way Jay thought about Jasmine, it still made me upset that I couldn't see her every day like Jay always would be able to.

Jasmine smiled at the rest of us as Jay set her down, but he didn't let her go, his arms remained around her waist, his chin on her shoulder.

"I made lasagna boys," she told us, still smiling happily. "There's plenty for everyone so please help yourselves."

The boys hooted happily and rushed inside. I followed in a little bit more slowly, shaking my head and smiling in disbelief at their childish behavior. Jasmine only laughed.

When I got in the Kitchen, the boys were all crowded around the small family table there, each with about 3 servings of food on their plate.

I shook my head again and also grabbed a plate, putting onto it about as much as they had (maybe more) and leaned up against the nearest counter and began to eat.

Jasmine and Jay walked in then and Jay grabbed a plate, too, but first he got Jasmine one, smiling as he did.

"Thank you," she practically purred. He kissed her hand and then began to eat.

I used to enjoy watching the love between the two of them, it made me happy for Jay, but now, I winced mentally… Ugh, the imprinting thing wasn't as easy as the others made it seem…

Of course, maybe that was only because I couldn't BE with mine….

After devouring about 50 people's worth of food, we began to start our normal game of B.S. around the dinner table (which we'd cleaned off first).

"B.S.!" Shayne shouted at Jack. Jack scowled and took the pile.

"3 fours," Jay said, sliding them into the middle.

Jack hesitated, but Leo was grinning.

"Bull," he said to Jay, grinning knowingly.

Jay scowled and took his cards back.

The game went on for a while. Trey was the worst at a poker face by far. It was comical to watch him. We were playing with two decks and yet he'd say things like.

"9 Kings…" "7 fives…"

He always got B.S.-ed, and we were always right, too. Yes, very comical.

"Now, I know we are having a lot of fun, but we need to patrol, still," I reminded them. "Leo, it's your turn."

Leo nodded and got up without a complaint and ran out the back door.

Jasmine spoke up then. "It IS getting late guys…" she said, a sleepy look in her eyes, "and I know how much you guys need your sleep… so I say we wrap this up here soon."

A few grumbles were heard, but then everyone agreed. They finished up the round and then everyone cleaned up before slowly beginning to leave. I waited until they were all gone before I left too.

By that time, I'd decided to take Leo's shift. I headed to my vehicle, driving home before heading out into the woods (leaving my shirt in the car) and shifting.

"Leo, I'm relieving you. Tell Shayne he doesn't need to come out, I might as well take his too," I told Leo.

Leo began to head back, his thoughts had a happy taint to them, but also a confused twist to them.

"Why are you doing this? You don't have to, you know," he reminded me. I only shook my head.

"I don't need a reason, I simply feel like it," I told him. Leo decided not to press me any further and soon he'd left my thoughts.

Once Leo was gone, I began to head around the perimeter… but my thoughts were on Leanna… When I was thinking of her, I didn't consciously pay attention to where I was headed… Soon, though, I realized I was nearing Altenburg… I decided to let my instincts (not the wolf ones) lead me…

I stopped behind a fenced in area where 3 horses were grazing. They looked up at me in shock, but didn't back up. I took a step back and leaped over the fence. Then they ran. I sighed and headed towards the house, keeping low and in the shadows.

The house was on the top of a hill. It was a beautiful brick house and obviously occupied. Lights were on in the basement and I could hear girls chatting… and laughing… One of the voices sounded just like Leanna's …

My instincts had led me right to the exact person I'd been wanting to see… It was amazing.

Just then, I heard Leanna's voice and I suddenly felt like I was at home…

I was going to be here all night.
