Love's No Sin

6

It's been three weeks since that night happened, and since then I've been avoiding the wood and Sam, as much as I can. Though I feel as if my world is tearing itself apart, I feel as if I'm betraying my Logan. I know it's time for me to move forward with my life, but I can't seem to. Though, Billy has arranged a meeting with Sam. It's only right to be able to discuss what's going on.

 I arrived at a small cottage, just bordering the wood. I walked up to the door, ready to knock, just as the door swung open. There at the door, Sam stood, fidgeting. I stared at him as I began to analyze him. I coughed, before opening my mouth. "May I come in? It seems we have a lot to discuss." He nodded, moving to the side, allowing me in. I looked around his home, noticing the mess, and the plain walls. Some cracks were made there way towards the ceiling. The smell, however, was very much that of Sam.

"Sorry about the mess, um... We can sit in the kitchen if you like." He says leading me into an open space where there was less of a mess. "Would you like some coffee?" He asks. I smile a small smile. "No thank you, I have a bottle right here." I gesture to my Starbucks drink. He nod, and proceeds to sit right across from me. There's was a moment of silence, before I decided to break it. "So, how's Leah? Last I heard, you were on your way to getting engaged." I take a sip of my coffee, as I wait for his answer.

"Leah and I broke up about three weeks ago. She doesn't about this world, or why." He grunts out. I nod, taking another sip of my drink. "You do realize, that Leah is one of my best friends, if anything, she's like my sister. Which is why, I can't bring myself to involve myself with you. And before you say anything else, she is not the only factor. Logan, was the love of my life, and my best friend. So even if Leah wasn't a factor, I'm still not ready to start any new romantic relationship. The best I can offer to you Sam, is my friendship. And since I'm not apart of the pack, nor am I apart of the treaty, if our friendship ever goes past anything, but friendship. I will tell her. After I leave her, I will be going to the Clearwater's and I will be talking to Leah about this." His jaw locked as he nodded. I looked down at my hand resting against my bottle. The silence almost seemed too loud. That was until I head his seat scratch against the floor, signaling him standing up.

"I can't stop from telling Leah. I know I hurt her, by leaving her. I know it seems that I forgot take Leah's feelings into consideration..." He paused, almost hesitating before he continued. "But I'm thankful she has you to be her support. I'm glad I imprinted on you, and I'm glad that you're allowing me to be apart of your life." I took in what he said, before I too stood up. "Sam. Just know, that even if we did imprint on each other, my kids are still very much apart of me, and one word from them, and you are gone." I turned, and walked out, heading toward Leah.

"So I saw Sam a while ago, and then I saw him again today, where he began to tell me you are no longer together." I raise my eyebrow at her. We were currently sitting outside her house drinking iced tea. Leah looked down at her feet. "Leah, why didn't you tell me you guys were over? I've been here for a while now." She looked up at me with a sad look in her eyes.

"Because Ana, my break up is nothing compared to your loss. You lost Logan, and I wanted you to build yourself backup. Not for your kids, but for yourself. You needed to worry about yourself. You always put everyone ahead of you, but you never put yourself first." I loop my arm around her's and laid my head on her shoulder. "Thank you. Thank you for worrying about me. But I'm still your best friend. I need to know these things. I grew up with you two, and although I'm more closer with you, you are both my friends. Now, if you like, I can always supply vengeance, and have babysit the kids, so you and I can go out. Or I can kill him. Your choice hon."

We were quiet for a bit, before we both busted out of uncontrollable laughter.

 "Alright Sam, you are in charge of my kids. None of them better have a scratch on them when I come back." I turn to him. Today was a very sunny day out, and Leah and I were going to head to the farmer's market in Seattle. Speaking of Leah, she's right next to me as I tell Sam this. It's been two weeks since meeting with Sam, and though Leah is still not in a good place with him, she's able to remain calm.

"No problem Ana. The kids and I will be on our best behavior." He says, as the kids and I rolled our eyes. "Georgia, call me if anything happens. I love you guys! Not you Sam." I say as I walk out the door. Seriously, what has my life come to.
