People I love you! Thank you for the reviews! Here's another chapter, probably either the last or second last depends on how it goes.
Facing my fears head on
Leah POV
With a resinated sigh, I made my way down to Sam's once bright and happy shack. I was not looking forward to this but judging by the happy smiles the pack was shooting me as I passed them, they thought I was doing the right thing so I kept going, keeping my head high and trying to not think about how I must look at the moment. The walk seemed to take seconds when in fact it must have taken at least 20 minutes. I drew a deep breath before walking up the short pathway and to the door. Judging from what I had been told, Sam would not answer the door so my best bet would be to just walk in and hope that I wasn't jumped. One last peak at the outside world was all I saw before I launched myself into the house.
Holy fuck was the first thought that came to mind when I saw the state of everything. Things were laying smashed all over the house, empty food containers everywhere and the worst part being the bottles of strong spirits laying everywhere. As were wolves/ shape shifters, our body could burn off the alcohol very quickly but if one was to sit down and drink continuously then even our body could not fend off the drunken haze that consuming alcohol eventually brought. With a worried look around, I took note that Sam wasn't in the kitchen, living room, master bedroom or the dining room. In fact the only signs of him being in any of these rooms were the trashed appearance that looked like somebody had come in and thrown anything and everything at the wall. Probably what happened I thought as I made my way to the bath-room. He probably wasn't going to be in here but I had to look everywhere and in every room and the bathroom was a room so with a groan, I pushed the door open and hoped for the best. Good news was that he wasn't in here. Bad news was that the bathroom looked like somebody had taken a baseball bat to it and that meant that Sam had a weapon. With knew found caution, I made my way to the last room in the house, the only room he could be in if I was to find him now. I slowly reached for the door knob and pushed upon the door, gasping when the sight of Sam showed itself.
Sam was thin, oh so thin and had a look on his face that seemed to scream I have lost everything that makes life worth living and in a way he had, he had lost Emily. I made my way over to him, nudging him slightly with my foot as he groaned and struck out, grabbing a hold of my ankle. Slowly he looked up into my eyes, his eyes nothing more than sunken in sockets containing balls of mud instead of the usually bright cheery ones I was so used to seeing and envying. Now I just pitied them, seeing the once tall, proud man was laying on the bottle ridden floor like a forgotten skeleton. "Leah…is that really you" he asked, his voice one of doubt.
"You look like crap" I stated, never one for soft mushy talks.
"Why did you come back? To torture me and say I told you so cause if you did please leave now, I don't need to hear it as you can see I have pretty much figured that out for myself" he said, waving around at the bottles that littered the floor.
"No Sam I came to get your lazy arse out of the house and back to leading the pack that you have so quickly forgotten about but first things first, we need to get you cleaned up". Sam just looked at me before shakily rising from the ground and making his way to the bathroom. It was hard to believe that I had loved this man that I STILL lived this man but I did and that was that. With a sigh, I made my way towards the master bedroom to pick out some clothes for him to wear. Within 5 minutes he was out and no longer smelling like vodka, more like the Sam I knew and loved. I left the room to give him privacy and went into the kitchen to start preparing something very high in sugar and fat because he looked like he needed it at the moment.
Sam stumbled in just as I finished shoving some more food onto his plate. His eyes had what looked like permanent bags and he looked old and frail. "Sam what have you done to yourself" I questioned, a hard note to my voice as I berated him for what he had let it come to.
"You left me Leah….what else was I supposed to do?"
"I did not leave YOU Sam! In case you hadn't noticed I was not the one to go skipping off with your cousin now was i? I warned you so many times but you just pushed me to the side, believing that Emily was perfect; Emily couldn't do any wrong cause SHE WAS EMILY! WHY DID NO ONE BELIEVE ME WHEN I TRIED TO WARN YOU? SO DON'T YOU DARE TRY AND SAY THAT THIS IS MY FAULT BECAUSE WE BOTH KNOW IT ISNT!" By the end I was screaming, right up in his face. I expected him to start yelling back but what he did next surprised me. With no hesitation he stood up and kissed me smack bang on the mouth. I naturally froze, not being used to such intimate contact but eventually I did what I would have done, what I wish I could have done, all those years back. I melted straight into him and kissed him back with all the longing and love that had built up over the years. I never wanted this moment to end yet I knew it would. Sam continued to kiss me, winding his arms around my torso and bringing me closer to deepen the kiss. That's when I knew fate could choose your soul mates, your inner being could accept them but once love is struck and lit, it can never be extinguished. Through hot and cold together it will burn until the retards holding the flame realise what they have together. Love cannot be cut off abruptly yet it can lessen. If there was one thing I knew about love it was that no matter how hard you tried, the string holding you to the other person will never weaken and break and by loving that person, the string will become stronger than anything fate has made. In the circle of Sam's arms I knew that I loved him and my some miracle, he loved me back.
Ok I'm going to do one more chapter before I wrap this up. It's gonna be 5 years in the future and Sam and Leah are going to find out that they CAN have kids. I'm not sure what they are going to be called and what names they are going to be but there are going to be 3 so please tell me if you have any names, gender, age information I could use. Cheers =)
