Leah tapped on the side of the chair impatiently as they waited for Emily to show up. After discussing it over with Carlisle Leah had decided that if they wanted to be here then she wouldn't stop them, but only one of them could come at a time. The female shape-shifter had enough to deal with without having the added pressure of both her ex and her cousin being around her at the same time. Plus she secretly got a kick out of Sam's reaction when he learned his fiancé would be coming alone to the vampire's lair. At first he outright refused and then he had to rethink his reaction because Leah and Embry told him straight out that if he wanted to be a part of her therapy then he had to abide by her rules.
Embry was sitting next to Leah and he couldn't help, but be concerned. He wasn't sure she was ready to face the Emily situation in therapy yet. She had only recently admitted she had a problem to begin with and now they were digging down deep in to the root of the problem. What would happen if the scarred female said something to set Leah going off of the deep end again? The Makah wolf wasn't sure he would be able to handle seeing her like she had been the day she tried to kill herself.
Finally Emily showed up and Alice brought her to Carlisle's study. Anyone could tell that human was very uncomfortable. Both shifters in the room knew that while the scarred woman tried to act as if she had an open mind when it came to any situation that in reality she hated vampires almost as much as her fiancé. Her heartbeat increased once she entered the room and sat in the chair farthest from the others. Both Carlisle and Embry thought it would be best to have Emily on the other side of the room in case Leah had the sudden urge to choke her cousin to death.
"So now that I have arrived tell me what I can do to help fix my cousin." Emily smiled sweetly and Embry had to reach out to place his hand on the she-wolves thigh in order to keep her from getting up.
"Fix me?" Leah repeated as she started to grind her teeth together. "Are you suggesting there is something wrong with me?"
Her cousin bit her bottom lip and fluttered her lashes in an 'I am so innocent please don't hurt me' kind of way before answering. "Well you are the one who is cutting yourself for attention and I think that tells everyone in the room exactly what is wrong with you."
This time when Leah tried to stand up Embry wrapped his arms around her waist and tugged her down that she ended up sitting in his lap. "You think I am doing this for attention? Well then let me point out a few things. If I were doing this for attention I would have told someone I was doing it instead of hiding the fact. Embry only found out what I was doing because he caught me in the act. Also, I have no reason to try and get attention from anyone. The whole reservation already talks about me as it is and I have no need for the gossip to suddenly multiply."
Emily huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. "Are you telling me that all of this is not for attention? You never cut yourself before. Do you think that if you scar yourself Sam will feel bad and come back to you?"
"You would know that best wouldn't you Em?" She hissed and struggled against Embry's grip on her waist. "If that was my plan then I learned it from the best being you. Everyone knows Sam feels guilty over what did to you and that is one of the only reasons he agreed to become engaged to you so quickly. For the record though I have no intention of trying to win Sam back because I don't want him. All I want is to be able to move past the pain and hurt and apparently in order to do that you have to be here."
"After the way you have treated me I should let you rot, but Sam thinks it would best if we tried to become friends again and unlike you I want his happiness over anything else." Emily tossed out with a sigh.
The female shape shifter clenched her jaw and took a deep breath. "After everything I did to you? What about all the things you did to me? I know Sam did not have a choice when it came to imprinting, but you did. You could have told me straight out what was going on and instead you chose to lie to me. Then to make matters worse you beg Sam to order me to be your maid of honor and on top of that you are wearing the dress that had originally been mine and you are getting married on the day that used to be Sam and I's anniversary. It is like you are trying to erase everything about me because you are insecure."
The human woman rolled her eyes. "What do I have to be insecure about? I am not the one who lost her fiancé, killed her father, and literally ended up becoming a one of a kink freak."
Hearing this Leah jumped to her feet despite Embry trying to hold her back. "You stupid bitch! I bet you want me to kill myself so that you won't have to worry about me anymore. You are terrified that one day I am going to get everything I ever wanted while you lose everything you have."
"Leah please calm down." Embry whispered in her ear. "I know she is begging for a fight, but if you fight her there is going to be blood and all of the Cullen's are here. I know you do not really care what happens to her, but I know you actually like some of the Cullen's and wouldn't want to do that to them."
Leah nodded and sat back down setting her head in her hands. "You are right Embry."
Carlisle cleared his throat to get the attention of everyone. "Ms. Young if you have another outburst like that then I am going to have to ask you to leave and never come back. This session is not about fixing Leah, but more to help her deal with the stress of her life. If you insist on causing more stress to be brought down on her then I will make you leave. Now it is time to start the session and I ask everyone to be on their best behavior."

AN: I broke this chapter in half because I am still in a lot of pain. I am having what we call a liver attack and the pain is horrible. So it is hard for me to write though I am trying to get at least one chapter a day out if I can. Hopefully the attack will be over with soon. Let me know if you all liked this or not.
Please R&R like always!
