Okay so some of you may I have noticed that compared to my other stories I update this one the least. Well the reason for that is I have a hard time writing in Sam's POV. I have no idea why but I do and it drives me crazy! So after this chapter I might take a break from writing in his POV so I can get this story rolling. I hope that doesn't upset any of you. Oh and also please check out my new imprint story, Hurt Beyond Repair.
Chapter 9: The Talk
Sam's POV
I'm dead tired. I've been running patrols for hours on end. And it's a lot of ground to cover for one wolf.
The elders told me who they suspect to phase and I've been keeping an eye on the unlucky kids. Jared Cameron is showing the most signs so we suspect he's next. But even then he's still a ways away. So for now I'm on my own.
There's a lot of rumors going around too. People are saying I'm on steroids. It probably wouldn't bug me so much if I didn't have supernatural hearing and was able to hear every bit of their gossip.
I laid my head back on the couch. I was at the Clearwater's with Leah. We haven't been spending much time together and I feel bad. It is my fault anyway. We haven't spoken of the argument but I know it hurts her that I've never told her what happened to me.
Leah looked over at me with concern. Then she sighed and paused the movie we were watching.
"Sam, I'm worried about you. Your never around, your always exhausted, and you feel like your constantly running a fever. It scares me that I don't know what's wrong and I can't do anything about it." She said with hurt in her eyes. I sighed. Stupid tribal laws. It would be so much easier if I could tell her the truth.
"I know your worried about me Lee-Lee and I'm sorry. But your just going to have to trust me that for whatever reason I'm alright. And I'm sorry I'm not around much anymore. It's just I have this new...responsibility that I can't get around. But I promise you Leah, I'm going to do whatever it takes to make this relationship work. I love Lee-Lee." I say honestly.
"I love you too, Sam." And with that she kisses me. We kiss for awhile until I look at the clock and sigh.
"You have to go." She said it more as a statement then a question. I nodded and she sighed.
"I'm sorry I wish I could stay.." She cuts me over by nodding.
"I know that's what you always say."
"Leah," I sigh.
"No really it's okay. Your busy I get that. Go." She tells me. I don't deserve someone as good as her.
I give her a quick kiss before jogging out there door and into the woods for another night of patrol.
Leah's POV
I sighed. I know I told Sam it was okay and I understood but I don't. I don't understand why he's always busy or why every time I see him he looks like he just got hit by a bus. And I don't understand why he won't tell me anything.
I sighed again and turned off the TV. Suddenly I didn't feel like watching a movie anymore. I walked into the kitchen and sat on the counter, just thinking.
For the first time ever I was worried about me and Sam's relationship. It had always been so easy. We would tell each other everything and anything. Now it seemed we couldn't even talk without some secret getting in the way.
I love Sam so much and I can't lose him. I think it would literally kill me if it even happened. I know he said he's going to try but after all the secrets and the lies I'm having a hard time believing him.
Ugh I need to get my mind off Sam. I need to talk to someone who I totally and completely trust. Someone who knows me better than anyone else. Someone who has always been there for me. Someone who can distract me from all of this craziness. Someone who has never and will never hurt me.
With that I picked up my phone and called the person whose closer to me than anyone else, even closer than Sam. The sister I never got.
My cousin, Emily Young.
