Chapter 18: Traitors and I Love Yous'

Derek's POV

I was on cloud nine; Leah and I had finally taken the next step in our relationship. Last night was amazing. There weren't words that could describe how I felt; total completeness, happiness, exhilaration and so much more.

I never thought that I would've end up with someone like Leah, while I was living in LA. Sometimes I wondered what my life would have been like if I hadn't phased. I would have probably studied medicine, that's for sure; my parents and I wanted me to do so. I would have been married, most likely, to an artificial blond- a rich daddy's girl- that wouldn't even take care of our children herself, but was a nice face to show up at important meetings and social events. I would've probably had a big house in Beverly Hills, with maids and a large garage that housed different cars for my every day use. I now that it is very shallow of me, but the people that surrounded me thought like that. That was supposedly the best life that I could have ever wished for…

But I don't regret phasing, not one bit. Ok, my parents died because of a vampire, but I would have probably died too if I hadn't phased. For some time, I thought I was going to end up alone. I mean, what rational woman would want to be with a werewolf? Of course the imprints loved their werewolves, but maybe under normal circumstances, like a normal girl, on a normal relationship it would have been too much for her to handle.

Leah was perfect. She's smart, witty, beautiful, exotic, sexy, caring, charming –when she wanted to be- sarcastic, strong, powerful, full of life, and now she was my life, soul and body. All of me was hers. I wanted to be everything that she ever wanted, because she deserves it all, if she wants to live with the Cullens' for eternity, I would happily oblige.

After a while of watching Leah's sleeping form, I decided to wake her up by peppering kisses on her bare back, but of course, it backfired on me, but we made the best of that morning. Afterwards, Emmett teased us mercilessly and won a generous bet; making Leah almost blow up in anger. After that, my dreaded surprise came to the table.

"Derek, we have a surprise for you," Esme said enthusiastically.

"Oh, yes! The surprise!" Leah said cheerfully. Smiling so brightly that I thought her cheeks were gonna burst.

"What surprise?" I asked puzzled.

"One that you and Leah can't absolutely use to do your extracurricular activities," Quil boomed, making Emmett and Jake laugh loudly; which earned them smacks on the back of their heads from Rose and Ness.

"Shut up guys! You'll just have to wait and see," Alice said while she started to drag me towards the back door that led to the backyard.

But when I got outside, I found the most amazing thing! A pool! A freaking big ass pool with two giant slides and all! In the center of the pool there was a little island with different plants and tanning chairs.

"Leah told us how much you liked swimming, so I thought that this would make you feel more at home," Esme said smiling happily at me.

I immediately engulfed her in a hug; I couldn't believe they would go to such extremes for me, a pool? I was so happy that I didn't notice the three fuckers behind me.

"Up you go!" Emmett shouted grabbing my hands in a vice grip, while Jake and Quil grabbed me by the feet, swinging me high in the air and tossing me into the pool.

The water felt cool under my scorching skin and soon I felt two other people being tossed in the water, when I submerged I saw Emmett in the floor laughing his ass off and Quil and Jake with scowl on their faces.

"That's what you get for betraying a brother!" I laughed.

"Whatever," Quil and Jake said at the same time and tried to catch me in the water, too bad they were never gonna catch me.

We played for a while and wrestled after we took our shoes and shirts off and soon Emmett followed, Rosalie, Alice and Ness decided to sunbathe, though, I don't know why they would do that seeing as they can't actually get a tan…

It was after Bella decided to make us something to eat and Esme introduced us to the "Pool Rules" as she calls them:

Rule #1: No phasing in the pool.

Rule #2: No entering the pool after we had phased back –she even decided to make showers for us-.

Rule #3: No getting in the pool after hunting, unless you are Edward –the guy never gets dirty-.

As she finished telling us the rules for her amazing pool, I noticed that Embry and Leah were nowhere in sight.

"Hey, girls, where's Lee?" I asked puzzled.

"Um, I don't know." Rosalie said.

"Me neither." Alice and Ness said.

"Oh, dear, Leah went to her mom's house to take her something from the grocery store," Esme said, "And I haven't seen Embry since he went to talk to Leah."

"Embry went to talk to Leah?" I asked, the green monster was trying to come out, but I kept at bay. Embry was my brother, and Leah loved me, she was mine.

"Do you want me to call Sue's house, Derek?" Esme asked.

"Sure, thanks Esme." I said while starting to get out of the pool.

"No problem." Esme said handling me a towel and heading for the house.

I dried myself quickly and made my way to the house, my shorts were almost dried thanks to my werewolf heat and went looking for Esme. I found her in the kitchen with Bella and Edward.

"There's no one at Sue's and Charlie's house, Derek," Esme said.

"Um, ok, thanks. I'll call her cell phone," I said a little puzzled.

Edward handed me my cell, smiling sympathetically at me. "I got it out before they could toss you into the pool."

I chucked and murmured a 'thanks' and made my way to the front porch, as I dialed Leah's phone number. After three beeps my Lee answered.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Babe! I was so worried! You left and didn't even tell me anything and then Esme said that you were going to your mom's house, but your mom is not in her house." I said quickly, it was weird the effect that Leah had on me, just an hour and a half without her and I was already feeling anxious without her.

"Um, yeah, about that, there's nothing to worry about, Der. I didn't want to tell you that I was going out when you were receiving your surprise. I had totally forgotten that my mom was out of town, so I made my way towards the grocery to buy the eggs that Esme had asked me for, when I bumped into Dianna. So, she invited me over to her house." She told me quickly.

"Oh, that's great; just please don't leave like that the next time. It's bad enough when you are not with me and if you don't give me a good bye kiss is worst," I whined, making her giggle, which made me smile in return.

"Don't worry, Baby. Next time, I'll give you more than a good bye kiss." She said huskily, making me stop breathing as images of us together and her sexy navy lingerie invaded my mind.

"You do things to me woman," I murmured sighing, when I remember about Embry. "Hey do you know where Embry went? He left when you did and we haven't seen him since." I asked her.

I could hear a sharp intake of breath on the other line but she quickly recovered and answered me in a calmed tone. "I don't know where Embry is."

"Um, ok, so I guess I'll see you later, Lee," I said, maybe something bad happened to Embry.

"Of course, baby. I love you" She answered, which made me forget about my previous thoughts and focus on Lee.

"Love you more, babe. I'll be waiting for you" I said and hang up.

"Are you happy now?" Edward asked from his spot on the kitchen when I entered the house.

I rolled my eyes but smiled. You know I am Eddie; I chuckled when I saw his face scrunch up at the nickname.

"I hate it when people call me that," He murmured and re-entered the kitchen.

Once I knew Leah was ok, and making new friends, I made my way towards the patio. I was happy that she was with Dianna. She seemed like a nice girl, and I noticed that Leah didn't have friends outside the pack circle or the vamps. I guess Dianna could use a friend after all that has happened to her. I knew how it felt to lose both your parents, but at least she had her brother to help her.

"Hey, Der, did you find out where Leels is?" Ness asked. She was cuddled up with Jake on the tanning chairs while Emmett and Quil sat on the edge of the island.

"Yeah, she's at that Dianna's girl house" I answered her.

She immediately looked sad. "She went without me?"

"Um, no, it's not like that! She bumped with her on the supermarket and she invited her over to her house," I said quickly.

"Oh, ok!" Ness said, smiling happily. "That's good for her."

I just nodded, smiled and dived into the pool water.

"And Embry?" Quil asked.

"What about him?" I asked while we were playing volleyball.

"Where is he? He seemed pretty nervous today," Quil commented.

"Um, Leah told me that she didn't know where he was, she talked to him and he left when she did." I answered him nonchalantly.

"Oh, wonder where he went. He was really excited for the opening of the pool. It's weird that he decided to miss it" Emmett said.

We dismissed the subject and planned on calling him later in the night when he was sure to be in his house. Edward and Jasper sat a big table with chairs on the backyard and Esme and Bella placed tons of food on it.

Quil, Jake, Ness and I, the only ones that could eat, made our way as quickly as possible towards it.

"Wow," we all said in unison. If you thought a buffet was big, this was, wow, there weren't words to describe the amount of food that was on the table. There were stakes, fried chicken, pizza, chips, green salad, potato salad, sandwiches, brownies, pie, cheesecake, all you could think about- just name it!

"I think you over did it, Esme," Edward told Esme.

I'm sure drool was coming out from the corner of our mouths. It was like giving a hungry man so much food and he didn't know what to eat first.

"I love you, Esme," Quil said dreamily, making us all laugh and dig in.

I never thought it was possible to make a werewolf full, but it was, I couldn't even move from my seat, I felt like I was gonna burst at any moment.

"I think I'm gonna vomit, and that's a first." Quil moaned.

Jake chuckled but didn't move, "But at least we ate it all, right?"

Quil and I moaned in unison, "Never again, will I eat this much" I said.

All the vampires plus Ness –she decided that she only wanted the green salad and a brownie- were looking at us, amused smiles on their faces, though some of them had a little bit of repulse coloring them.

"We still have some Double-Layer Lemon-Cream Cake in the fridge if you guys want any Edward said smiling at us.

That did it for poor Quil; he stood up and ran towards the house, we heard him open a door and pour all of the contents of his stomach.

"Ha Ha Ha! I told you he was gonna be the first!" Jasper cheered, making us look at him like he had grown two heads. He was always the quiet one. "What? Don't look at me like that. I knew he was gonna be the first! Now pay up!"

"Unbelievable," I said amazed, "You guys really don't have anything better to do."

"What?" Emmett said handling Jasper the money, "We don't get many things to entertain ourselves with around here; you guys are all we have."

"Whatever, just wait till I digest this food" Jake said while rubbing his stomach. Thank god for werewolf genes.

Some minutes later Quil stepped out of the house, smiling contently. "So, about that Lemon-Cream Cake?"


After Quil ate his cake, alone in the kitchen, we sat in the lounge chairs in the patio, I felt so much better, and thankfully we digested the food pretty quickly, but still, I'm never again eating that much food.

"So, Derek, what do you think about the move?" Nessie asked me.

"The what?" Who's moving?

"I, um… Leels didn't tell you yesterday?" Jake asked puzzled.

"Well, yesterday we weren't exactly talking," I mumbled blushing as the images started to flood my mind again.

"Oh my god! In the woods Derek, seriously? Stop it!" Edward groaned.

That made me blush more, "Really Edward you had to say that out loud?" Stop reading my mind!

"I'm sorry," He said.

"HA! We're not the only ones, Rosie. I knew I liked them!" Emmett said triumphantly.

Rosalie just rolled her eyes at him and patted his knee.

"You are so immature, Emmett," Jasper said.

"Whatever, it's not like you're a prude Jasper." Emmett said but then his face turned mischievous. "Remember the incident in Brazil?"

If vampires could blush, Jasper and Alice would be beet red by now.

"Shut up, Emmett. We said, we were never gonna talk about that ever again!" Alice hissed; the tiny pixie looked really scary at that moment.

"What about Brazil?" Nessie asked.

"Nothing, darling," Jasper answered quickly.

"Nothing? Having sex in a church is nothing?"Emmett said.

"Emmett!" Alice launched herself at him.

Jake and I laughed while Nessie stayed petrified in her spot; blushing non-stop.

Wait, blushing?

"Oh, no! Jacob Black! You're a dead man!" Edward roared making everybody stop in their spots.

"Daddy, calm down." Nessie said calmly. "It wasn't even his idea!" she finished indignantly.

"Oh, my god! My baby!" Edward said and excused himself almost immediately; Bella and Nessie were quick to follow him.

"Well, so about the moving?" I asked trying to diffuse the subject about Edward's daughter's shenanigans.

"Oh, right, well, the thing is," Jake said. "The Cullens' have been living here for more time than possible, it's been too long, and people are gonna start to wonder why they don't age. We can't risk getting their attention, none of them get out of the house any more, just Carlisle and Esme, and they have to wear makeup, to at least look a couple of ages older."

Well, I wasn't expecting that…

"Um, ok," I said.

"Ok? Just like that?" Esme asked amazed.

"Well, Lee's going, right?" I asked, they nodded. "Well, if Leah's going I'm going. 'Sides, you guys aren't so bad after all," I joked.

Esme smiled at me and immediately got up from her seat and came over to hug me. "I'm so happy! I though you weren't gonna come!"

"Don't worry, Esme, I'll go. Besides, I don't really like the idea of aging, now that I have Lee beside me." I smiled.

She hugged me again and went to sit down.

"That's great, dude! College is gonna love us, just imagine it! Ten super hot, super natural 'kids'! They are gonna invite us to all the sorority parties!" Emmett boomed.

I rolled my eyes at this. "Weren't we supposed to pass as high-school-ers?" I asked.

"Normally we do. But neither Bella, Nessie, Jake nor Leah have experienced college, and seriously Jake and you look 25, nobody's gonna believe you guys are 17 or something."

"Well, you got that right" I said, nobbing. "But I'll do something easy this time. No way, I'm studying Medicine for the second time, besides, I didn't really get to experience college like that," I said smirking at Emmett.

"That's the spirit!" He laughed and high fived me.

"So, when are we leaving? And to where?" I asked.

"After Seth's wedding, so maybe February 27th or 28th." Rosalie answered.

"And to where, we don't exactly know yet, it has to be a rainy area, not too much sun. A small town," Alice said. "We need to talk to Carlisle about that."

"Oh, Ok, before we leave I kind of wanted to take Leah for at least a weekend to California to meet my grandparents; if you don't mind Jake" I said. "Maybe at the beginning of December or something,"

"Of course, I don't mind, Derek. Don't be silly" He said.

"Ahh, that is so cute!" Alice said. "Now I have to plan a shopping trip! She needs more shorts and bikinis, a lot of bikinis." She mused.

The thought of Leah in a bikini, in a beach, in California, had me itching for her. This is the longest we have been apart since we imprinted on each other.

"Oh, and what about Quil and Embry?" I asked. "Aren't they coming with us?"

"No, Quil can't leave Claire, and Embry, well, we still think he can imprint. It's more likely that it could happen here. He and Quil are gonna continue working at the shop together" Jake said. "I guess they'll be staying in Jared's' pack along with Seth."

"Yeah, I can't stay away from my Claire-Bear," Quil answered smiling.

"Oh, ok," I said. I was gonna miss them. I mean, I was just getting to know Quil and we were leaving in four months.

We continued talking about the plans they had, Esme wanted to give each a house, maybe buy a residence or a big space with lots of forest, away from civilization; and the different things we could study. Alice wanted Fashion Design; Rosalie and Jake, mechanics; Bella and Edward, English and Literature; Emmett, Civil engineering; Jasper, History; Nessie, Arts; Leah, Interior Design –never knew she was into that stuff, much more to be proud of her, she was so talented-; and me, I didn't know what to study. The civil engineering program was interesting. Maybe I'll give it a try, the truth is, if Leah was studying something construction related, I wanted it too, but I wasn't planning on telling anybody.

At 8:15 p. m, we were still talking, Carlisle had already joined us and we were discussing where to move.

"Pss, Derek, wanna phase and see if we can locate Embry?" Quil said.

"Sure, let's go," I said and together we started walking towards the woods. We made our separated ways and took our clothes off, phasing almost at the same time.

It's feels good phase again, I mused internally.

But just when we were about to howl for Embry we felt it, the agony, regret, hurt, embarrassment and guilt.

They weren't our feelings. These were Embry's feelings. He didn't notice we had phased, he was close to the cliffs in La Push, suddenly flashes of memories started to run through our minds…

It was all from Embry's perspective, but without thoughts, just words and images.

"Lee, I… You're gonna hate me for this, but this is my only chance," Embry said looking directly into my Leah's eyes. He took a determined step towards her, towering over Leah and cupping her face in his hands and kissed her.

She didn't do anything; she was immobile on her spot.

Leah went to grab Embry's hands that were holding her face in place and clutched at them, trying to push him away, but he thought differently, he just gripped her hands harder and allowed his tongue to glide over her lips.

After mere seconds that really felt like hours Leah pushed him off her. He stumbled on to the ground and stared at her.

"How could you?!" Leah yelled at him. "You were supposed to be one of my best friends!" She was crying now, big fat tears rolling down her cheeks. "I hate you!" She hissed at him. "I told you that I didn't see you in that way! You are just a friend! I love Derek! And he trusted you not to make a move!" She looked at him directly in the eyes and I could feel the guilt starting to settle on Embry, but she just looked more pissed off.

"Lee, I'm sorry! I wasn't thinking!" Embry started to get up from the ground, but she stopped him.

"Don't, Embry. I don't want to talk to you right now," she said and turned around, facing the house, walking hurriedly away from Embry.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing, my vision turned red with hate and anger.

"How could you bastard!" I yelled in my head.

When Embry noticed I saw everything he immediately freaked out. "Shit! Derek, I'm so sorry, I wasn't thinking! I, I'm sorry, it'll never happen again!" Embry said hurriedly.

"You fucker, you fucking kissed her! What do you expected your action would accomplish?! You made her cry! I'm gonna kill you!" I roared and immediately went running towards the cliffs.

At this Quil immediately reacted out of his coma, but I was already ahead of him.

"Derek, man stop! You don't want to do this! That's fucked up, I know, but he's our brother, man." Quil thought panicky and started following me after he howled.

I kept running with all my might, no one was gonna stop me now.

"I trusted you Embry! I knew you had a thing for Leah, but I trusted you enough that I actually thought you weren't gonna do anything about it!" I hissed at him, which just made him fall to the ground.

Just when I crossing the boundary line Jake phased. "What happened?" He asked hurriedly.

Quil repeated the events which just made me run faster; I could see Jasper, Emmett, Edward and Carlisle were with him.

"Shit! Derek, you have to stop!" Jacob said.

When I didn't listen to him he repeated again but in his Alpha tone, "Derek, STOP!"

My knees buckled once, but I continued running, I was close now.

"Jake, Embry broke a pack law by kissing an imprint; you can't command him to stop." I heard Edward say to Jacob. Perfect.

"Derek, please listen to me, don't do this, Embry made a mistake, shit we're leaving in months! Don't do this now!" Jake said to me again.

But I didn't listen; this was something bigger than me. This was my imprint we were talking about, not some chick; the man in me knew I couldn't kill him. I could feel the regret and guilt rolling off me, but the wolf in me wanted to kill, hurt, bite and attack. This was my imprint- no one, absolutely no one, was going to change that, unfortunately, he won.

"Jake, we lost him. This is bigger than him, this is just not him. This is the wolf marking his territory, his imprint, his mate." I heard Edward again. But I wasn't really listening, everything around me was red. I could just see my prey, Embry.

I ran faster when I smelled the salty scent of the beach, that's when I saw him. Embry was standing seven feet away from the cliff. He was standing there, waiting for me, and I didn't think it twice, I attacked.

It was all teeth and limbs; I grabbed him by the jugular and threw all my weight at him crushing his sides. I felt one of his ribs crack, but I didn't care, he was limp in my jaws, but when his oxygen started to lack he attacked. His paw made contact with my head, I felt the flesh of my forehead and snout rip apart and then his leg came crashing down on my hind leg. I felt something crack but didn't paid attention to it.

We continued attacking each other, I couldn't even see, there was so much blood, my sight was hazy but I could fell Embry lacking too. He whined when I bit into his chest and fell to the ground. Just when I was about to finish him with the little force I had left someone grabbed me.

The smell of leech instantly assaulted me and I tried to defend myself but I couldn't, I was too weak, just when I was about to succumb into darkness, I felt Leah phase, my Leah.

"Derek!" I felt her shout for me. "Derek! Are you ok? Talk to me, baby!"

But I couldn't respond. I couldn't think, maybe I lost too much blood.

"I love, Lee. See you in a while," I said in my head and darkness over took me.


Everything was moving too fast, I could hear beeps and shouting all around me, I felt cold and warm hands handle my body. I heard sobs and please to wake up, but I couldn't identify anything, I was just too tired.


"Baby, come on, open you magnificent blue eyes for me. Der, come on, baby," I heard someone sob next to me. But I could identify the voice this time, Leah.

That immediately made me open my eyes, but I closed them as soon as I was blinded by a white light. I flinched but it was a bad idea, my neck and face hurt too much.

"Fuck, that hurts!" I said, my voice was raspy and husky like if I hadn't drank water for a long time.

"Oh my god! Derek! Baby, can you hear me?!" Leah said. "Carlisle! Derek woke up!" She yelled excitedly.

I opened my eyes for the second time there she was, hovering over me, blocking the light from my eyes. "Hey, Beautiful" I said, trying to smile at her, but I couldn't move my cheeks.

"Oh, Der, I was so scared baby!" Lee said and started to kiss my chest, but then she punched me in the arm.

"Ouch!" I bellowed. "Why did you do that for?"

"Don't you ever, ever do something as stupid as that!" She scolded me. "Do you hear me?"

I just nodded and kept looking at her. She was so beautiful when she was angry. "You look so hot when you are angry." I said, licking my lips.

She smiled and went to kiss me, but the door opened, revealing a very tired looking Carlisle.

"Hey, Derek. I'm glad you woke up, you lost a lot of blood. Quil had to donate blood so we could use it on you and Jacob donated his blood to use it on Embry." Carlisle said while he started checking- what I guess- were my injuries.

Just his name sent ripples of anger down my spine. But I calmed myself, Leah was here with me, with me, not him.

"How bad is it?" I asked him.

"Not so bad, you had a broken leg, but that is already healed. I gave you enough pain meds to make you sleep for a day, but you have pretty bad scars on your forehead, cheek and neck. They are already closed, you just look pretty gruesome, I guess that by tomorrow you won't even have any evidence that you were in a fight."

"That's good." I mumbled. "How is he?" I asked.

"Embry's fine. He was worse than you when he came. He has scars just like yours, but on his chest and neck. You managed to puncture one of his lungs when you broke his ribs. He's already awake. He needs to stay put for two or three days," Carlisle said.

Leah didn't look too happy, but at least she wasn't mad at me. I'll admit, I never planned on killing him. I was just angry and he seemed the best way to vent.

"So, I can stand up and walk, right?" I asked. The bed was uncomfortable and I didn't like it one bit.

"Sure, I guess it's ok, just don't phase till all the scars on your face and neck have healed. Here's some water" He said and gave me a glass of water.

I thanked him and gulped the whole contents of the glass. "Ok, time to get up."

I went to stand up and Leah helped me up, I felt a little weak.

"You should probably eat something. It's been almost 24 hours since you last ate. It mustn't be good for a werewolf," Carlisle mused and left the room.

"Come on, Der. Esme made something for you guys to eat," Leah said and kissed my lips chastely.

U suddenly felt much better, I grabbed her bottom lip in mine and sucked on it making her moan in delight, I went to grab her face, but she stopped me.

"You have to eat first, baby" She said.

"You're no fun." I pouted, but it just made her laugh. She caught my hand in hers and led me towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Esme was at the stove cooking, while Jake and Quil eating dinner. I guess it was night because it was dark outside. The clock on the microwave pointed 7 p.m., when Jake and Quil saw me, they immediately stopped eating, and they grimaced at me and said nothing.

"I'm sorry I disobeyed you, Jake," I said softly. Leah squeezed my head reassuringly, Esme smiled apologetically at me and Jake just laughed.

"You don't have anything to be sorry about, Derek. It wasn't you who fought; I could feel Derek was long lost when you got to the cliff, though I'm happy you didn't kill one of my brothers." Jake said.

"Come on, man. Sit down and eat something," Quil said pointing to the seat in front of me.

I sat down quickly with Leah by my side, and Esme quickly placed a plate of soup in front of me and Leah. I quickly started eating and when I finished I decided to ask.

"Where are all the others?"

"All the vamps, including Nessie, decided to go hunting, too much blood, even if it was ours" Quil joked, "Esme and Carlisle stayed for obvious reasons."

"I'm glad you are feeling better, Derek. Here take some sandwiches." Esme said while handling me a plate with five sandwiches.

"Thanks, Esme" I said and started eating away.

We ate in silence and when I was finished, Leah took me to one of mansion's room- the one I used when I first got to Forks. Leah walked quietly towards the bathroom, I stalked behind her. She undressed and I just stood there watching her. She was so damn beautiful, there weren't words to express how much she was.

"What? Are you gonna take a bath or just stay there ogling me?" She asked teasingly while she made her way towards the shower.

I quickly took my clothes off, and entered the shower. Leah looked wonderful under the stream of hot water. I grabbed her by the waist and pressed her flush to my body, kissing her pouty lips with all that I had. It hurt my face like a bitch, but this was worth it.

"I love you," I murmured between kisses.

"I love you too. Please don't ever scare me like that again," She whispered looking pleadingly at me.

"I'm sorry. I'll never do it again…if I can stop it. I love you too much to make you suffer. I'm sorry," I said kissing her lips, cheeks, neck and shoulders.

"It's ok, just never do it again." she smiled at me. "I love you Der."

"I love you more, Lee. I love you and it's forever and ever," I said, kissing the skin next to the golden locket that I had given her a few days ago. I kissed her passionately and proceeded to show her how much I loved her.


That is it!

Hope you guys liked it!

See, didn't hurt him much, and Derek got hurt too, so it's only fair! lol
