Hello! Here's the next chapter! Forgive me, it's a total filler. I wanna get to the good stuff, but I don't wanna move too quickly, y'know? I wanna give it a bit. So enjoy the filler!


Chapter 29: FML

Sam's POV

Fuck my life. Fuck. My fucking. Life.

I'd decided to skip the bonfire and went out for a run, knowing no one else would be out tonight, so I'd have some thinking space.

I watched her through her bedroom window as she took out her anger on her belongings. With every picture she shattered, I died a little more. I'd heard her ranting and yelling to her parents before. I didn't blame her for wanting to rip Emily's face off. Hell, I wanted to rip her face off.

I could "get angry" again… call it an accident…

No. I was raised to never put my hands in a woman in such a way, and even though I really, really, really wanted to, I wouldn't touch her.

It killed me to cause Renesmee so much pain. The reason I didn't tell her about me breaking up with her was because I thought a clean break would be better. I didn't want to hurt her.

"How's that working out for you, son?"

Gah! Mom-sounding conscience… I thought I got rid of you back in Chapter fourteen?

"You'll never get rid of me. I'm your conscience!"

Can you at least try and sound like someone else?

"You get what you get. Be happy I'm here at all."

I tried to ignore my annoying conscience and made to jog away when Edward appeared in front of me, looking livid.

"Oh, you're soooo gonna get it…"

He reached up and grabbed my ear in his hand and dragged me away from the house like I was a child and he was going to put me in time out. He let go when we were far enough away and faced me.

"I thought I told you to be careful with her?" Edward growled.

I know… I'm sorry.

"Sorry? That's all you've got to say? Do have any idea what you've done to her? She fainted out of anger!"

I know that. I saw.

"What are you doing here, anyways?" Edward snapped. "You're the one that broke up with her. And not even directly!"

You think I liked it? I snapped at him. You think I enjoyed knowing that I'd be making her unhappy? Well I didn't. I hated it, okay?

"Just two days ago, you were in love with her," he pointed out. "What suddenly changed?"

I… I dunno. Emily and I just worked things out. I l-love her. I could barely get the word out. I didn't love her. I loved Renesmee. If it wouldn't be putting her life in danger, I'd blow Emily off and be with Renesmee forever.

Look, Edward, I need to get home. I'm really sorry, okay? I didn't wait for him to answer and I turned away. I began a sprint back the house; Emily thought I was going out for food and she expected me back soon. I didn't wanna hear her bitching at me if I was late.

God, I hate her.


Leah's POV

I just didn't understand it. Sam and Renesmee were so happy before…

I was pacing back and forth in mine and Jake's living room, thinking. Jacob was sitting on the couch, trying to watch TV around me, and getting irritated.

"Leah, sit down, for God's sake. You're thinking too hard. I don't think that's good for the baby."

I sighed and carefully sat down next to him, holding my slightly protruding, five month belly. He threw his arm around me and pulled me into him.

"Look, this thing with Sam and Ren is none of our business, to be honest," he said. "As much as I'd love to punch him in the face, I think it's best if we just stay out of it. Sam will realize he's a douche, he'll regret it, and he'll spend the rest of his life with an ungrateful bitch who doesn't appreciate him, watching and loving Renesmee from afar while she goes on with her life with a new husband and several kids, and he'll die wondering what could've and should've been."

I smacked his chest. "This is serious, Jake. Something's not right with this. Something doesn't make sense. Sam was happy with Renesmee. I could see it in his eyes. He's never been that happy; not even with me."

"So what, you think it's like, a conspiracy or something?" Jacob laughed.

"I don't know what it is," I said, frustrated, standing up again. "All I know is that something's up. And I'm gonna find out what it is."

"Now what are you doing?"

"I'm going to bed. I wanna get up early; maybe do a little investigating." I smiled at him. "Sam's not the only one interested in solving mysteries."

There's no way he would just go back to Emily out of nowhere, I thought as I got ready for bed. There's gotta be something to it. Maybe he and Renesmee had a fight that they aren't' talking about? Maybe she liked him more than he liked her?

Something's wrong with this. And I'm gonna find out what.


Sorry it's so short. I promised a reader (I think it was SarBear01…) that I'd update Saturday for sure and I was running out of time. So I gathered what I could and, here ya go! : ) IT'S TOTALLY (Just barely) STILL SATURDAY! (Where I am, at least…)

If you follow the Speak Now Collection, I'm still looking for ideas for Innocent and Haunted. If you don't… nevermind! Lol.

Also! This is IMPORTANT so please read it: I decided a while ago that I was gonna go back to school instead of taking the one year break I had originally intended to take. I start on the 10th of this month, so this week is my last week of freedom for a while. : /

This meaning I won't be able to update as much as I'd like to (those of you who've been following me since I began this fanfiction know that I already don't always update on time… -nervous laughter-). It's gonna suck, but I'm gonna do the best I can. I will NOT be abandoning this story or TSC just because I'm going back to school. I'll figure out how to manage everything (I'm only taking 3 classes that I don't particularly like this semester; the rest should be a cake walk; and I DO love cake. ^ ^)

Much love!
