So here I am. Alone, bitter, angry, and with a really bad hangover.

When did this happen? A week ago I was living almost happily with my daughter in Portland. Sure I hade a crappy job, but at least it was a paycheck. And I had a daughter who loved me. And had no father.

Sigh. Am I the one who's wrong here?

Don't answer that.

My daughter's at Jacob's house with Billy, the father of my child is off somewhere being a werewolf, my brother was off somewhere hating me, my mother was at Charlie Swan's house, and the guy I might possibly be falling in love with is falling out of love with me.

And I fix this, how? Seriously, author person, fix this!

And then the author said, "I'm sorry, Leah, that's just your life, you have to deal with it!"

But I don't want to!

"Leah, I know you can do this! You were a single mother for three years! You don't need anyone! You are a strong, independent woman!"

I am?

"Of course you are! It may seem bad now, but you are like Superchick! You. Can. Do. This! Okay?"

Okay. So I sighed loudly again, picked myself up out of bed, threw the empty bag of Oreos in the trash can, and went to get my daughter.

"Leah?" Jake looked surprised to see me on his doorstep.

"Yes, Jake, I'm here for my daughter."

"Leah, you aren't planning on leaving again, are you?"

"So what if I am?"

"Leah, I swear, last time I saw Sam he had every intention of taking you to court."

"What!?"

"He doesn't want to take her from you, but he wants to see her."

"Yeah, well she's pretty amazing."

"She's a lot like you."

"Screw you, Jacob Black! Just, just…just go to hell!"

"Leah, you're overreacting! I still love you."

"Sure. But what happens when you imprint for real? I've been down that road Jake!"

"I wont imprint. I don't need to. I have the most amazing woman in the world right here."

And then he kissed me. And trust me, he is a good kisser. Dammit.

I pulled away. "Look, Jake, I swear I wont go anywhere tonight, okay?"

He looked hesitant.

"Cross my heart. Just give me Samantha."

"Okay. But you swore!"

"I'm not going anywhere. Tonight at least. And if I do go anywhere I promise to tell you and Seth. I cant make any promises past that."

He nodded, then disappeared. A moment later he came back, holding Samantha's hand.

"Mommy!" she squealed. "You're all better!"

"What?"

"Yeah, we, uh, told her you were sick…" Jacob looked uncomfortable.

"Oh. Yes, Sweetie, I'm all better."

If only things were that easy.

Later that day, Sam showed up at my house.

"May I help you?"

"You cant take her away from me," Sam said.

"Says who?"

"I'll take you to court."

"Why?"

"Because she's my daughter!"

"So!? You and your precious Emily are expecting, aren't you? So why do you need Samantha. She's all I have, Sam!"

"Leah, calm down, I just-"

"No! People need to just stop trying to calm me down! I will be calm when I want to, but right now I am pissed off!"

"Leah, listen to me, I'm not trying to take your daughter from you. I just want to see her."

"Yeah, well, maybe I don't want her to see you."

"Why? I'm not such a bad person, Leah."

"Of course you aren't. you just abandon your pregnant girlfriend for her cousin!"

"I didn't know you were pregnant!"

"Yeah, well, if you hadn't fallen in love with my cousin, I was going to tell you!" By now I was in tears and screaming at him. "I was going to tell you that night! I practiced how to tell you for hours! I didn't want you to be upset. I was so scared! You think I wanted to be a single teen mother!? No! I didn't! But I was forced to!"

"You thought I'd be upset?"

"Of course I did! We were eighteen! You wanted to go to college! I wanted to go to college! We had dreams. I wanted us to get married…and have a house by the ocean…" I fell into his arms and sobbed on his shoulder.

"Leah, don't cry. I cant help it! don't you understand that!? It's forced! You think I would have chosen her over you if I had a choice!? I wouldn't have. I never, ever, in a million years would have done that to you. I love you."

I wiped my eyes. "You mean loved."

"No, I don't." And then he kissed me.

And for a moment I forgot everything. I forgot that Sam was with Emily. I forgot that he left me. I forgot that we had a kid. I forgot that I had kissed Jacob just hours earlier.

But only for a moment.

Then I shoved him away from me. "You ass whole! You're married! To my cousin!"

He looked confused for a moment. Then he looked like he had a bad headache. "Y-you're right. I think I need to go lie down…" And then my ex-boyfriend and father of my child collapsed on my kitchen floor.
