Chapter 19

Chelsea's POV

I nodded.

"As you already know, I imprinted on you. I know it must of come as a shock to you, but I did," Embry said smiling.

I smiled back.

"Not really. I saw the way you looked at me. I figured you like me," I admitted.

"I don't just like you, I'm in love with you," he replied. I didn't know what to say so I just nodded my head.

"So...now you know how I feel. But the question is, do you feel the same way?" Embry asked.

I looked down.

"Yes," I said.

Embry took my hand and held it in his. I looked up at him.

"I do. I'm in love with you. I have been since I first met you," I admitted.

He smiled.

"So, do you want to give us a try? Do you want to be my girlfriend?" Embry asked.

"Of course I do," I replied.

Embry leaned in and I knew what he was going to do. I leaned in closer and I closed my eyes. His lips kissed mine gently and softly while one of his hands found my face. We sat there making out for hours.

Leah's POV

I walked inside my house after Jake dropped me off. We had a great time at the movies. We even made out a bit.

I walked up to my room and my phone started to ring. It's Chelsea.

"Hey," I answered.

"Hey. I just got home," Chelsea said.

"Really? Embry walked you home hours ago."

"I know. We spent the rest of the day together talking. And...making out."

"What! Oh my gosh. Are you two a couple now? I am so happy for you and Embry," I exclaimed.

"Yeah we are. And thanks. That means a lot. I just wanted to say that I am sorry for being mad at you. I promise I won't tell anyone."

"I know. And I can't blame you for being mad at me."

"Yeah, well, lets promise to never hide anything ever again from eachother. We can always trust eachother," Chelsea said.

"I promise," I said.

"I promise too," Chelsea replied.

"Hey, listen, Chelsea I will talk to you later. I got to go," I replied.

"Okay. Bye," she said.

"Bye," I said before I hung up. I walked downstairs to the kitchen to find Sam sitting in one of the chairs at the table. Seth, who was sitting beside him, stood up and walked past me to the stairs. I waited until he was upstairs before I walked over and sat in Seth's chair.

"What are you doing here Sam? It's 10:00pm," I asked.

"I just wanted to see if you know how Chelsea is doing. You know, after she left."

"She's fine. Her and Embry are dating."

Sam smiled.

"I know. Embry told me," he said.

"Oh...well thanks for going along with telling Chelsea," I told him.

"No problem. It was the right thing to do."

I nodded.

"You know Leah, you are strong and a fighter. You are able to come to my house all the time and you usually always have a smile on your face," Sam replied.

"It wasn't easy at first. But ever since Jake and I became a couple, I've been a lot happier. It's like, when he's gone, I miss him terribly. I feel like I'm going to die without him. Wait- I shouldn't be telling you this," I admitted.

"No, no, you should. We are friends after all," he said.

"Yeah, we are friends. I think that we will have a very strong friendship because of everything we have been through," I told him.

"I think so too. Leah, have you ever thought about what it means if you want to die without Jake?"

I was confused.

"No. Why? What does it mean?"

"Think about it. What has happened to make you feel like that?" Sam asked me.

I stared at him whhile thinking.

40 minutes later

Sam left 10 minutes ago. I figured out what he was talking about. About what has happened. Sam explained to me more about it and the only thought that kept coming back to me was that I should talk to Jake. I walked back to my room and called Jake.

"Hey Leah," he answered.

"Hey Jake," I said.

"What's wrong?" Jake asked.

"Nothing actually. But can you meet me at the beack tomorrow at sunrise. 7:00am sharp," I replied.

"Um...okay. See you tomorrow. I love you," Jake exclaimed.

"I love you too," I told him before hanging up.

I fell asleep thinking about what he was going to say when I tell him tomorrow.
