Author's Note: This was written purely on a whim and really has no reason to it. I was listening to Say It by Blue October and this was scratching at my fingers to be written. It's a little off, but I'm happy with it. Be nice. I haven't written in a while. And thank you to my followers, I'm sorry these posts are few and far between. -Delta

Say It

"Come back."

I winced. But only slightly, I would never give him that.

"Please."

His tone did me in. I couldn't take it.

"Stop."

I held my hand up, though I knew it wouldn't do any good.

A defense mechanism, maybe?

I huffed mentally, some defense.

"I want you back."

"I said stop, Sam."

I was getting indignant and a small part of me was upset I would talk to him that way.

I hated it.

"But it's the truth, Leah, it isn't the same without you."

I shook my head, a tormented smile perking up the edges of my lips.

"What do you miss so much, Sam? Is it my pain you feel when we're phased? Or would it be my spiteful anger?"

His face dropped, almost defeated, weak.

I squared my shoulders.

"You know that isn't it."

"Then what is it? Because ever since this freaky shit happened to me that's all I seem to be good for."

"I miss you, Lee-Lee."

"I said to stop Sam!"

I was almost screaming at this point.

My heart felt like it was bleeding beneath my ribcage, acid burning away at the remnants.

"I'm sorry, Leah."

I laughed, I couldn't help it.

"I know. Believe me, I know."

"I'll always love you."

The acid boiled and sizzled across my chest.

I choked on the nonexistent blood from the wound.

"Sam…"

My control was wavering and that hurt even more.

Fucking weakness.

How I loathe you.

"I'm sorry. That was uncalled for."

"You think?"

I clutched my chest and shook my head.

"It still doesn't matter, it'll never be enough."

He pursed his lips and I could see, almost feel, the pity radiating from him.

"I'm done, Sam."

"Done?"

He was confused, I could see it in his eyes.

"I'm done with you and your Alpha inferiority complex. Jacob doesn't force us to do anything. And he sure as hell doesn't undermine me."

"I don't mean to…"

"Yeah, I know. But I'm afraid this conversation is over. I've made my choice."

"I can't change your mind?"

He acted as if to reach for me, I flinched away, stepping towards the forest.

I could feel Jacob and Seth waiting in the frosted fronds of the pine trees surrounding the clearing.

I needed to phase.

And soon.

"Never."

"I'm sorry, Lee-Lee."

"Not as sorry as I am, Sam. Never that."

I ran into the wood, leaving him behind, still hearing his voice resounding in my head, still hearing the words he had spoken that made the acid so potent.

I swore to myself then, that I would never speak to him alone again.

You'll never have to, Leah. Not as long as I'm around.

Jacob's voice was comforting, and I followed it until we were running together, letting his animal instincts take over my human weaknesses, and finally letting go.
