Chapter 1

Run Away

I sat looking at the setting sun thinking about everything. Sam and Emily. Dad. Jacob and Nessi. Everything was just so wrong. I should be married to Sam happy and in love, but instead I am alone on this mountaintop waiting for something good to happen. Waiting for something to go right. Nothing was going to go right. I now don't believe this is a possibility. I don't really believe that love will find you eventually. Not anymore.. All I can do is wait. Wait for something good to happen.

Oh, great. Something bad. Not good. Life sucks.

"Hey, Leah," I heard someone say. I turned my head to the right and saw Sam standing behind me.

"Why aren't you with your new wife?" I asked him and he frowned. I just wasn't going to pretend like everything was all right and if he thought I would -could- he could just go.

"Leah… Please…" He begged.

"Really, why?" I asked, my voice hard.

"Jacob called and told me you were running out here. He was going to come and check on you but I said I would." He answered.

"Why?" I asked.

"To see if you were okay."

"Well I think you can see I'm fine, so you can go back home to your wife."

He frowned at me. "No, I mean okay," He said looking concerned. "I know I hurt you Leah, but I didn't mean to. I couldn't help it. So are you okay, okay?"

"Honestly?"

"Yes, honestly."

"Then, no Sam I'm not okay. You broke my heart!" I stood up and ran into the woods. I could here him running behind me and I pushed harder. I ran farther into the forest until the footsteps behind me stopped. I sat down on the ground and prayed he wasn't just pretending.. Lurking in the shadows. Waiting for just a moment to come and ruin my blissful silence.

Why couldn't he just leave me alone? Why did he have to constantly badger me about if I was okay? When would he realize that I would never be okay, that I would never be the same?Why did he have to be so-

"Leah!" He called stepping out from behind a tree a few feet in front of me.

"What?" I yelled back.

"Why did you run off?" He asked angrily, he was shaking all over and so was I, all I could do was beg myself for self control. He didn't need to hear me now. He couldn't!!!

"Why can't you just leave me alone?" I asked standing up.

"I'm worried about you Lee-Lee." He begged, warily.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT! AND WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE?" I yelled at him shaking furiously now. Why did he have to say the name? The name he called me when he still loved me, before her.

"Why not? And I care because I still care about you, Leah."

"'WHY NOT?' YOU ASK? BECAUSE IT HURTS REMEMBER? YOU BROKE MY HEART AND CALLING ME BY MY PET NAME DOESN'T HELP!" I screamed before running into the forest. I had lost control I was about to phase if I didn't get out of there. So I ran. I ran for hours.

I awoke from my trance when I heard my phone ring in my pocket. I slowed slightly and pulled my phone out.

JACOB calling, it said. I flipped it open. "Jacob?" I asked, still furious.

"Leah are you okay?" Jacob asked.

"In a manner of speaking yes I am physically okay,"

"Is Sam with you?" Jacob asked.

"No, I don't think so. The little punk might have fallowed me, but I haven't seen him since you sent him after me. Why?"

"He never got back Leah. Emily called me just now worried sick… She said she wanted to call you but… Well never mind… And by the way I didn't send him anywhere he wouldn't let me go. I told him it was a bad idea but he didn't listen."

"He never got back?" I asked. I slowly began to get nervous. Worried even. He may have broken my heart, but that did not mean I didn't love him.

"No… You have to say something… Ask him to come out or something, he'll most likely be able to hear you."

"SAM!" I yelled looking around. "COME OUT!!! EMILY IS WORRIED ABOUT YOU. YOU HAVE GOT TO COME OUT HERE AND CALL HER!" I yelled all around. "Jacob nothing is happening… Nothing!!!"

"Leah you need to come back."

"I'm on my way."

"Go to Sam's, the second you get back."

"Fine" I said as I closed the phone and put it back in her pocket. I ran back as fast as I could and raced to Sam's house to my own dismay. I did not want to see my newly wed cousin.

"Sam, Sam is that you?" I heard Emily call as she rushed to the door.

"Sorry only me, cousin." I barked at her.

"Oh, hello Leah." She said awkwardly and walked back in the door with a sad look on her face. I fallowed her, scowling the whole way.

"Leah!!!" Seth said as he ran and hugged me. Ah, my little brother he loved me. If only it was enough.

"Seth." I said hugging him back.

"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

"Seth, I am fine. I just ran away. Not for good just for a few hours, I had to get away from him for a while." Emily cringed and I growled.

"Sure did Leah." She yelled at me. I began to shake and Quill stepped in front of Emily.

"Emily it isn't smart to mess with a ware wolf you should know that." He whispered. The guys all laughed but we just scowled at each other. Seth was standing in front of me laughing his head off…

Suddenly the door burst open and Sam walked in and saw Emily and I glaring at each other. "What is going on?" He said and then when he saw my shaking shoulders he ran and stood in front of Emily.

"Oh, don't worry Sam. I won't hurt your precious wife!" I said and ran out the door Seth and Jacob fallowing. I felt the hot tears running down my face and just kept running. Until I felt Jacob's hand on my shoulder.

"Leah wait please you can't go!" He yelled. I turned on my heal and looked at him coldly.

"Why shouldn't I? Who would miss me?" I yelled harshly at him.

"I would." I heard Seth yell from behind Jacob. He walked in front of me and took my face in his hands. "You can't leave Leah, I love you. I would miss you and think of mom, after losing dad. I don't think she could take losing you, too, Leah.. And the pack."

"Oh the pack doesn't care; just you two." I said looking back at the house in the distance. "I can't watch that anymore. I just can't anymore. I can't take it."

"But Leah. Please, I just can't not know where you are, what is happening to you. Really, think about mom. She is a wreck already, think of what you would do to her." Seth begged.

"I can't stay, Seth. I love you, too. But I can't." Just then Jacob stepped up beside Seth.

"I know where you could go." He told me, smiling slightly.

"Where?" I asked.

"The Cullens." His smile faded as he watched my face turn defiant.

"If you think I am going to the bloodsucker's again, then think again. I wouldn't be running away if it weren't for them." I hurled the words at him.

"They would take you. And Seth and I could visit. Your mother would know that you were okay, Leah. It would be better for everyone." Jacob explained.

"NO." I snarled.

"Leah, this is not a discussion. Cullens or stay here." He said, as my Alpha. I had to obey. That got annoying.

"Fine, I'll go to the Cullens. Just don't tell him,"
