"Sam, you cant be saying this to me. It's not fair." I said. "You don't got that right anymore."

"He's not the guy for you, Lee-lee." Sam said softly. "He's not the right guy. He's all wrong for you."

"Don't." I said angrily walking away with Jake's hand in mine. "Don't say stuff like that. You cant do this. You cant just come back after three years and say this sort of shit to me. You walked away from me. Don't come back here feeding me these bull shit lines."

"But this guy?" Sam shouted. "He's no good for you! He cant take care of you!"

"He takes care of me. He loves me, unlike you. And why do you care? You have Emily. Go home to your slut of an imprint! Go home to your child! Go home to the family that I always wanted with you! You broke my dreams once already Sam. I would be a damn fool if I let you hurt me twice. Go home to her. Just leave me alone." I said.

I watched as Sam's face crumbled.

I immediately felt bad. "I am sorry." I whispered. "But you cant just say something like this."

I felt Jake stumbling again. I grabbed his arms to keep him from falling flat on his ass.

"Come on, Jake." I said sighing. "Let's go home and get some rest."

(next day)

"I am sorry." Jake said when we were sitting in the table at breakfast. "I cant go to work today again."

I sighed as I spoon my cereal to my mouth.

"I know I mess up." he said before I can say anything. "I know I screw up. I am sorry for everything. I know lately I been screwing up like every other minute. I know I made a ton of mistakes. But no matter what, I love you."

"I love you too." I said. "I do love you, Jake. But, we have a lot of problems we need to discuss. We have too much drama between us. One day we are good, and the next we are fighting. This drama is driving me crazy. One minute we are a loving couple, and then the next we are the couple that we don't want to be. We changed, Jake."

"What are you saying, Leah?" Jake said.

"I am saying that we need to work out our problems. I am suggesting couple's counseling. It will be worth the cost if we can work it out."

"Hell no Leah!" Jake said. "I am not going to some shrink's office to talk. It's a waste of money. And you said so yourself that we are tight on money."

"Yes, we are sort of in some financial trouble, but it is worth it if we can work our relationship out. I am willing to do it. I want it to work. I don't want us to fight. We used to be happy. I want that happiness between us back."

"Leah, we don't need some counselor telling us what to do." Jake insisted. "we don't need to pay some shrink $100 a hours. It's a fucking waste."

"Why are you so against it?" I said. "I just want us to work out. So if you don't want a shrink, than what do you want to do than?"

"I don't know. We can talk. We can do anything, but going to a shrink is not what we need."

"Whatever, Jake." I said rising from the table. "I don't want another fight with you. I am going to work. Please, don't drink again. You need to go to work tomorrow."

( alternative)

"Honey." Sam said trying to calm me down. "Baby, let's be rational here. Your brother is happy with Kim. I agree, that Kim strikes me a bit of a gold digger, but he is happy with her. And you don't want upset your brother."

"I don't." I said. "But it's Kim. How can he marry her? I cant stand her. Either can mom. I don't know what in the world Seth was thinking when he proposed to her."

"I know you don't like it, Lee-lee. But, you cant do this to Seth."

"There are so many girls out there for him, I don't know what he see's in that bitch." I said seething.

"Honey." Sam said again. "Calm down."

"I am going to stop them. There is no way in hell that those two are getting married. I wont allow it. I am going to see that gold digging bitch that will do nothing but hurt my brother in the end."

"Leah-" Sam started.

"Sam, please stop it. I know I may sound harsh. But, it's Seth. He's my little brother. You know I am protective of him. I don't want this girl to destroy his innocence."

"I know, Leah." Sam said. "But what did you say to Seth after he told you."

"I sort of yelled at him." I said. "I went off on him."

So what do you think? Like it? Hate it? Review please!!!!!
