Real friends are forever.

Chapter nine.

"S-he she what?" I whispered. I could feel the sob building in my chest. I slid down against the wall. "She left all of us a note. We know about the bullying." he said. There was an intense pain in my chest. I have never in my life felt this much pain. "She can't be dead! She just can't!" I said sobbing. Everyone was staring at me now. "I'm on my way over now." I whispered still crying. I hung up the phone and ran out the door.

I got in my car and drove as fast as I could over to Leah's house. There was cop cars all around the house. Including my father's cruiser. I ran in the house to find my mom and dad sitting with Seth, Harry, and Sue. The only one not crying was my dad but he looked pretty close to bursting into tears.

"Please tell me it's not true. Please!" I whispered then burst into tears. I collapsed against the counter and just sat there crying. after I was finished, my eyes were almost swollen shut and were red and puffy. I finally had the courage to open the letter.

Dear Bella,

I don't know what I did to make you mad but whatever it is, I'm sorry. You will always be like a sister to me. The night you left me the letter, I was devastated. I didn't know what I had done to you or why you hated me. I decided to end my life when I saw you hanging out with Sam Uley's gang.

I'm sorry for all the trouble I have caused you and I hope you have a good life. You'll always be my sister. I love you.

Love,

Leah Dawn Clearwater.

This was my fault. I'm going to go beat the shit out of Sam Uley! I got up and I was shaking slightly. "I have to go." I whispered and ran out the door. When I got to Sam's house I didn't even stop to knock. Everyone from the pack was there. I walked straight to Sam. "Read this letter Sam! Look what you did to her!" I yelled. He took the letter and read it. "Because of you, my best friend is dead! I hate you! If you had just left me alone nothing bad would've happened!" I cried out. I slapped him hard. Right across the face. "I'm done with this pack! I don't care if I have to be alone but I am completely done with this pack! I am starting a new pack and I never want to see you again!" I snapped and stomped out of the house.

Everyone was stunned. I could tell because I couldn't hear a peep after I left. But somehow I felt free. Like I didn't have to listen to anyone anymore. And then I felt sad because I not only lost Leah, but I also lost my other two best friends, Quil and Embry. I phased and ran until I couldn't run anymore. I stopped somewhere in Canada and waited until I calmed down. I headed back and got home around dark. Paul was there. As was the rest of the pack. "Jeez! I can't even come to my own house without you guys being her!" I said exasperated. "Everyone except Embry and Quil needs to leave." I said. "No. this Is Paul's house too. We can be here whenever we want." Sam said. "Fine then. I'll leave." I said. "Asshole." I muttered as I walked by Sam. "What did you say?" he asked. "Oh nothing." I said. I decided to go and visit Emily. I walked into the house to find Emily freaking out. "What's wrong Emily?" I asked. "The leech took the twins!" she said. I immediately felt like I was drowning. Damn was my day taking a turn for the worst.
