A/N: Okay well this is really difficult to write about, because the event of a brother dying actually happened. He wasn't my real brother, but he was the one and only brother to a RP account I was forced to quit. He was like a brother to me, and I wanted to honor him, while getting out all my anger. Real emotions here people. Let me know what you think.

Chapter 1: Mad at the entire fucking world

POV: Layla Black

I was mad as fuck at the entire world. What the hell was this, some sick, twisted hand of fate? WHY THE FUCK DID IT HAVE TO GIVE HIM CANCER? He's the only family I really ever had –apart from my bestest friends, which at the moment were probably freaking out about me.

Shit! Where the fuck am I? I had crossed the treaty line four days ago, and ran south as far as my legs could carry me, and then some. I remembered seeing the signs for California, Arizona, New Mexico… then I stopped caring. Just like it seemed everyone else had stopped caring about what was going to happen to Cameron in his last few days.

Well fuck. I have no fucking clue where the hell I am. Shit. *sigh*

I finally felt another presence in my little mind ranting. Pictures cut into my vision: a picture of me and cam laughing, another of Jacob holding me close as I sobbed. Oh great here it comes… Jake, Alice, Jasper, Ness, Kacy… and well just about everyone I had ever talked to in my life, minus Riley.

GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD SETH! Dammit, why did you have to do that? I knew he could feel the pain shooting through my chest, as the waterworks started again.

Layla, Jesus! I was just trying to tell you that we miss you. Why won't you come home? You know your father needs you.

And, just like always, Seth Clearwater was right. I sighed, and plopped to the ground under the large, shady tree. It was hot as hell out here, so I welcomed the cool breeze as it ruffled my jet black fur.

Seth, ugh… You know I can't come back. It's gonna hurt too much. Yep, that was my elaborate plan. Run away from anything, and everything that reminded me of my dead brother; including my… -gulp- imprint. And then I knew I had given Seth perfect bait.

Layla Black, you march your cute ass home and come see Riley. He's dying here without you. And that's pretty fucking hard to do when you're a vampire. He snickered when he talked about my ass. Well that was just peachy.

One of my most hated parts of sharing pack-mind was the seeing each other naked. And all the guys' imprints naked and thinking about it…YOW! That made me shudder.

Seth, shut the fuck up about my ass. Go home to your sister and your mother. They need you more than I do. Leah's got to be about to hang herself.

Leah Clearwater, Seth's older sister, had fallen in love with my brother. No, she didn't imprint, but she sure as hell was head over heels for him. And of course, my brother is… I mean, my brother was in love with her too. He just knew that he didn't have much time left with anyone, let alone her. But no! Leah had to go and make him admit his feelings for her. That stupid little…. Seth growled at me. Sorry, force of habit. He had made her heart soar like a freaking eagle. Then two days – two fucking days!- before Christmas, he died.

I had saved up all my money to buy him that new Xbox 360 or whatever that shit was called. He couldn't stop talking about it before. It just killed me –pardon the irony- that he died before I could give it to him, or even say goodbye. I loved him. He was my heart and soul. One of the two most important men in my life had disappeared forever. And I, being the selfish little bitch that I am, ran away from the other.

Lay, he just wants you back home and safe. He's been worried si—

I cut him off, Seth if he wants me home so badly… I sighed and put my tail between my legs in defeat

If he wants me home so badly…Tell him I'll be there in two days.

I could see the happy dance Seth did when I said it. I wanted to smack that stupid grin off his pretty little face. I was SUCH a wimpy little girl. I couldn't even stay away from my imprint for a fucking week. That did it…here came the waterworks. Shit. Okay Mr. I'm-going-to-tell-everyone-in-La-freaking-Push-that-she's-coming-back, run off and spread the joyous news. Layla Black, is coming back. Okay even I had to laugh at my own stupidity. That was such a lame rhyme. But whatever, Seth finally left me alone.

I actually laughed. That was the first time since I last saw Cam. I felt horrible for it. Well fuck.
