"LEAH!"
"What Seth?"
"We're going to be late!"
"I don't care."
"Leah. We have to go."
"I don't want to go to the stupid wedding."
"Leah. Sam wants you to be there."
"I don't care. Sam really doesn't care."
"Yes, he does."
"Well, I don't."
"Leah. You are going to go to that wedding."
"No. I'm not."
"Yeah. You are."
"No."
"Yes. You are Leah. Go get dressed."
"No. Seth I'm not going to that wedding."
"Leah. You are going to that wedding."
"Fine." I responded gruffly. I stomped off up the stairs. "But I'm driving myself!"
My brain was forming an idea as I slipped on that pink dress.
In about three seconds I was fully dressed and had my bags packed. I threw my bags out the window and then flew down the stairs.
"You look pretty Lee."
"Shut up. And I'm going to drive myself if you don't mind."
"What if I do?"
"You are going to have to get over it." I went to the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of water. "I'm hungry. You go on and I'll be right there."
"You better be, Leah." He left in a huff.

After five minutes I walked outside and grabbed my stuff. I threw it in my trunk and drove.
I drove until the tears poured from my eyes and I had to pull over. I wasn't sure were I was but I just stopped.
I wiped the tears away and then cranked the car back up.
I was a girl on the run.

Welcome to Orlando
The sign scared me.
I had been driving for three days straight and now I stopped out in front of a hotel, thanking God that I'd been working in La Push. I'd been working in the store for three years and so I had a lot saved up.
I had been planning on going to a small town like La Push, but then I realized that it would be harder to find me in a big town.
My phone was off and I couldn't help but wonder how many times they had called me.
Seth's Point of View
"Where's Leah?" Embery asked, glancing at me. We were sitting on the front row.. we were the only family Sam had left.
"She said she was coming.. she was in a terrible mood. She kept saying 'No'. It was driving me crazy. Finally she just yelled fine. But she wouldn't have come if I didn't let her drive herself. I don't know. It was strange." I told him.
"I don't think so... I think she conned you, man."
"Well, whatever. It's just a dumb wedding."
"Not to Sam."
"Now, don't go there. I couldn't stand this. I didn't enjoy telling my sister she had to go to this wedding. It hurt me. I hate hurting her. She looked beautiful."
"Yeah. That's our Leah."
*
"Hey. It's Leah. Leave a message after the beep."
"Um... Hey Leah. It's Seth. I just got home from the wedding and I'd just like to say that you did great with the whole conning me thing. Good job. But where are you Lee? I love you and... I'm worried. Call m, sis."
*
"Yeah, Leah.... Just trying to talk to you. I'm worried about you. Where did you go Leah?"
*
"Leah Daniel Clearwater. You need to call me back. The whole pack is freaking out."
*
"LEAH!" I growled into the receiver. "Where are you? You didn't show up at the wedding and then you didn't come home last night and now you still aren't here today. God, Lee. Are you trying to kill us, Leah? What did I do? Just call me Lee? Goodness. How are we supposed to know if you are even alive? Call me, Lee. I love you Leah. Just call me. Please Lee." I begged into the phone and dropped the phone to the floor.
Jacob's POV
"Hi, Lee. It's Jake. Where are you? Seth said your phone was off but I just wanted to call you. I want you to know that I'm worried about you and please just call me. Please, Lee. Sam was a reck, Leah. Call me."
*
"Leah. Where are you? Call me. Just call me."
*
"Leah. Where are you? No one has heard from you in two days. Call me or Seth.. Anyone."
*
"Leah Clearwater we are going crazy up here. Even if you aren't coming back just call someone. We need to know you are alright."
Sam's Point of View
"Lee. Please don't do this. You've been gone for three days... Just disappeared without a trace. Everyone is losing it, Lee. Please just call Seth. You don't have to call me, but anyone. Think of Seth. You are all he has. Don't do this to him. Please Leah."
Embery's POINT OF VIEW
"Hi, Leah. What's going on with you? You've just gone away and everyone is losing their minds. Call us. Love you Leah."
QUIL'S POV
"Um.. Leah. It's Quil. Just checking in. Um.. Call me."
Leah's Point of View
DING DONG.
I hopped up and opened the door.
"Hi. Thanks." I said taking the boxes out of his hands.
"Hey." He said. He had crystal blue eyes and dark brown eyes.
I handed him a check with a smile.
"Thanks. What's going on here? Five pizza's? You are like one girl. I expected a party."
"I haven't eaten in three days."
"Why?"
"I was driving."
"Oh. Well. Have a good night."
