"You know Leah, there's really no reason for you to stay with Jacob anymore. I know you care about your brother but he can take care of himself. There is no longer any danger to him. Come back to our pack." Sam asked gently.
"Leave me alone Sam." I replied, turning away.
He grabbed my arm. "Come on Leah. You know how sorry I am, and you know I can't help it. We all miss you. I miss you. This doesn't mean we have to stop being friends."
"Let go. Now." I said through gritted teeth. I was in no mood for him to start this crap.
He held on to my arm. "Lee-lee, why won't you come back? You know you're not happy with Jacob's pack. He imprinted and Seth is happy hanging around with the Cullens. You have no place there. You won't even walk up to the Cullens' house. Embry and Quil are Jacob's best friends, but you hate him. Why stay?" Sam asked superiorly.
That really pissed me off. I jerked my arm away from his hold and spun around. "How do you know how I feel? How do you know I still hate Jacob? You can't hear my thoughts anymore. Why stay? I'm staying because they leave me alone. They let me have my space. Why stay? I'm staying because it's easier to be away from you than to watch you and Emily from the sidelines. It keeps me sane to be away from it all. You have no idea how I feel, Sam Uley. You have no idea what I go through every time I see you. You got your happy ending. Now let me try and find mine." I glared at him, breathing heavy.
"Leah, you're overreacting." Sam said, trying to make me see reason.
"Really? I'm overreacting? How am I overreacting? Isn't it a bit sick how you still want me around even though you're head over heels for my cousin? Isn't it sick that you want me to stick around and suffer while you carry on with your happily ever after? This is why I won't come back. I don't want to see you, think about you, or be with you anymore than I have to. I need time to think. You don't know anything about me. Not anymore." I huffed and strode away, leaving him in the dust.
A/N: It's short, and even though it's not sweet, I like it. Leah truly deserves a happy ending. I would like to see her take on Sam, but obviously that's never gonna happen. Sometimes things have gone too far. You can't just "be friends" anymore.
