LEAH
She sat in the clearing, the woods spinning around her. She had just phased back, she dressed and now she was sitting here shaking. Shaking because the world was just too much for her. Shaking because she didn't know what to do. Shaking because she realized that she loved him. Him, of all people. She was over Sam, that was for sure, but he was what she wanted. And what she couldn't have. She sure did have a habit of wanting the people who could hurt her the most. Jacob. How could she have let herself fall in love with Jacob Black? He was already imprinted, she couldn't help that. Why did these things happen to her. She'd known him all her life, he was Seth's friend and mentor. He was her alpha. He was her friend. And she could never have him.
So there she sat, and she took the blade in her hand and stared at it. She hoped she'd bleed enough before her freaky wolf-girl abilities healed her. One long line the length of each forearm should do it. It would be enough. She had left a note on her dresser. Hopefully no one would ever find her. Maybe she'd attract some blood sucker who would clean things up for her.
The pack would be better off without her. Jacob could pick a new beta, it wouldn't be too difficult. Seth would finally be able to live without always looking after her, and her mother could finally be happy without her mood swings and tempers. It was for the better.
Jacob would be better off, because every moment she spent with Jacob, every hug, every touch, she was taking away from Nessie what was hers. She had no animosity towards her, she felt guilty for wanting to take Jacob away. Because Nessie was growing up, and her and Jacob would be together soon. And Leah was just getting in the way of that. Because Leah could see the way Jacob looked at her, and no imprinted man should look at another woman that way. No things would be much better once she was gone. Jake wouldn't be tempted to hurt Nessie. And Leah wouldn't hurt anymore.
And maybe, just maybe, she'd see her father again. Because he was most certainly in heaven. But Leah wasn't so sure where she was going. And she honestly didn't care.
The tears began to fall as she hoped that everyone could be happy now that she was leaving. Because that's all she ever wanted for all of them, everyone she loved; happiness. And they just couldn't have that if she was around.
She took the blade and starting at her elbow gently pressed into her skin. And she slid the blade up to her wrist. She did the same with the other side. All that was left to do now was lay back and wait for the darkness to take over. She laid herself on the ground and stared up at the sky for one last time. And the last thing she heard, was a strangled howl, coming from the edge of the clearing.
