Nic's pov:
After the bonfire, I drove Embry home and then drove to my house. When I walked in Sara was waiting for me. I noticed that the others had joined us here. Samantha and Jeff (Sara's bf) had finally arrived. 'Just great,' I thought.
"Where have you been," Sara asked me.
"Out."
"Out where?"
"None of your..." her hand came across my face.
"My business? You are my business. Did you tell him?"
"No," I growled.
"Don't talk to me in that tone."
"You're not my mother," I spat.
"Thank god. You don't listen to anything we tell you. You don't do as you're told either."
"Grrrr."
"don't growl at me," she growled. i spat at her. She punched me in the face then the stomach and then the face again. "Your such a brat."
"Takes one to know one," I spat. Sara beat me up bad after that comment.
Three days later:
the door bell rang. I lay helpless on the couch. I got beat up again and when Sara does, it takes longer to heal. Kate answered the door.
"Hi Kate is Nic here." Embry.
"Yeah she's here but you..." she didn't finish and the next thing I knew I was looking up at Embry's concerned face.
"What happened?"
"Sara," Kate answered.
"What happened exactly," he asked Kate.
"Sara got mad and beat her up again. They both have short tempers and Nic for some reason doesn't fight back no matter how much she wants to."
"Is this true, Nic?"
I shook my head yes.
"What can I do?"
"Leave," Kate said. I shook my head no. "You know what Sara said. I reached for him and he took my hand and then sat on the floor still holding my hand.
"Tomorrow come get me and we'll hang out, ok," I said weakly.
"Sure thing."
The next day I was better almost completely healed. Me and Embry hung out all day and every day after that.
A month later:
"Sara?"
"What?"
"I want to leave."
"What? Why?"
"I'm tired of you. I want to be alone. Can you understand that? I want to be able to grow up, no I am grown and you can't boss me around anymore. Please take your boyfriend and leave me alone."
"Nic we have to stick together. We are all we have."
"No I have a brother and I have Embry. And I don't want anyone else. I hate you. But I love Kate and Samantha you just get on my nerves too much for me to like you. Please. You can come visit and we can still be friends"
"Fine have it your way. We'll leave. But don't expect for me to ever come back."
She left and I was alone and free. But she'd be back and she would not be my friend. She was now my enemy. Kate and Samantha would be with her. They would feel as if I betrayed them and I sort of did. Just to be with the one I love. Embry.
