Valentine's Day used to be my favorite day, and now it's my least favorite. So much can change in so little time.
I was sitting in my living room, just staring out our open front door. On every mailbox down the street, there was some sort of love ornament hanging from the bottom. Mom was out with Charlie. Whatever, but I wish I could at least not have to walk into my OWN bedroom, only to find them making out on my bed. I washed my sheets and pillows that day so I wouldn't have Charlie-spit on my pillow or something.
Seth was probably parading around the Rez, looking for an imprint. I love my little brother to death, but honestly. And then Seth walked in.
With the original wolf pack. My idiotic brethen. Jared, Paul, Jacob, Seth, Embry, and Quil. There was also someone cowering behind Embry and Quil, but it was probably Collin or Brady. My eyes immediately went to the daisy in every guy's hand. Six daisies for me. Well that was sweet. I hadn't gotten flowers from anybody in two years. I took the daisies from the guys, as they stood awkwardly.
"Uh, Leah?" Jared asked. "Well, we just wanted to cheer you up, um, on this day."
"Yeah, I know. Thanks." I replied numbly remembering my last real Valentine's Day.
As they turned to go, I saw the last wolf. The one who was hiding- Sam. My Sam. No! Not my Sam. Emily's Sam. He offered me the last daisy. Seven daisies. That was our inside joke. Every Valentine's Day he used to give me seven daisies. "Seven, because I'm so incredibly fortunate to have you." Seven daisies. Just like it used to be.
And then I slapped him. Hard. As hard as I could. "Go find Emily," I said, before the tears came,"you're ruining everything."
Then he left. And with him he took one daisy, my pack brothers, and another little piece of my heart.
