Stars.

Beep...beep…beep…beep…

God that sound was doing my head in. I stared at the cash machine silently willing it to break down so that I could have the rest of the day off. I was in the local Wal-Mart, working on the tills. I hated it but it was a job I had to do to earn some money, just enough money to buy me food and gas. I worked 5 days a week, 11am-6pm. The people were just plain rude and annoying.

I left my thoughts drift away to my forest, the place I loved to be in. The only place I felt that I fit in, because it was home of the animals. I guess that's what I was now. An animal.

"Excuse me?" a woman with a nasal voice snapped me out of my thoughts. She looked like a stay at home wife, the kind with the rich husband. Her annoying children were running around my till yelling "I WANT MY SWEETS." I grimaced and looked up at her.

"Just get on with your job" she snapped at me and flicked her shoulder posh blonde hair. I rolled my eyes and took the credit card she was holding out to me. Whilst I scanned the card she carried on talking on the phone.

"Sorry about that Jess, had a problem with the till girl, I didn't know Wal-Mart had started to employ tramps" she sneered. I growled quietly before reading the screen.

"NO MONEY LEFT ON CARD." It said. I laughed to myself before turning around to face her.

"I'm afraid you're broke." I said to her, handing back the card. She looked shocked and quickly hung up the phone.

"What do you mean? Silly girl I expect you've got it wrong" she said.

I growled "No, you have no money left you silly lady, please leave my till, your holding up the queue."

She glared at me before grabbing her kid's hands and walking away. "I'm reporting you to your manager" she yelled furiously over her shoulder.

I just laughed and shoved her items underneath my till; the sudden burst of anger had made me feel a bit better.

Finally the day was over, I could retreat to my favourite place but first I had to get changed. I headed home and stared at myself in the mirror in my bedroom. My eyes looked dead, the old sparkle had disappeared. My hair was flat to my face, its natural wave disappeared. My curves were slowly going, and I was getting seriously skinny. That's what years of not eating properly does to you. It's not that I didn't want to eat; it's that I couldn't be bothered. I sighed and threw on a long shirt that went to the middle of my thighs. Easy to change in and out of whilst phasing.

I ran to the forest, breathing in the scent of the old bark and the mud. "Aah" sighed smiling, before pulling my shirt off and phasing. I ran all the way round the forest, running as fast as I could. I did this about 5 times before phasing back and pulling the shirt on again. I then lay down on the forest floor, in the shape of a star. I stared up at the sky which was now dark; I stared at the stars and thought back to when Sam and I had stared at them.

FLASHBACK

We lay down on the hill together, staring up at the starry sky. I curled into his chest, breathing in his scent.

"Leah" he said

"Yes?" I asked

"I love you."

"I love you too"

He smiled at me, wrapping his arms around me and staring at the sky.

"You see that big star in the middle of them all?" he asked me

"Yeah" I replied

"That reminds me of you." He said, and I could hear his smile.

I sat up, staring at him in shock.

"Are you saying I'm fat?" I asked madly

He burst out laughing and pulled me back onto his chest

"No silly, I'm saying that star stands out among millions of others, and that's what you like to me."

I smiled and reached up to kiss him.

END OF FLASHBACK.

I yelled out in frustration

"WHY? WHY DO I KEEP ONLOVING YOU DEEP DOWN? WHY CANT I MOVE ON? FORGET YOU?" I kept screaming before lying down in a heap, sobbing although tears would not come out. Why did I keep doing this to myself, Sam was never truly mine and never would be anymore. He didn't love me at all anymore, not as a sister as a friend as anything. Loving him was the wrong thing to do and I hated myself for it. I had to let him go, but I would never be able to do that until someone else gave me their heart. I was Leah Clearwater, hated by many loved by no one. Nobody would ever love me, that's just the way my life was. I don't know why I was even born. Please I silently prayed, if there's a god; please help me let Sam go. Please, free me from this curse.

"I don't love you… I don't love you…" I kept repeating holding my arms around me, trying to comfort myself,

trying to regain the numbness I had been feeling all these years. I wanted back my anger, my passion, and my hate. Anything was better than this sad life I was in. Well not anymore, tomorrow I was going to be a new person, the new me. Well practically the old me. That's better than this.

After an hour of lying there in silence, I sat up and stared at the moon.
"One last chance" I whispered, "please give me one last chance at love, at life." I carried on staring at the moon, and thought of how I would get a better job, to get more money. That way I could buy some decent clothes. I looked down at my undone shirt, sighing at the ribs I could see quite clearly. I was also going to try and get my curves back. Become the old Leah, the sexy Leah. I would make men want me, and maybe among all those stones there would be a diamond. I laughed to myself at that rare possibility. I whispered it one last time "One last chance at love and life" and traced the shape of the moon with my eyes.

"Leah?" a voice interrupted my thoughts, it sounded shocked and surprised.

"Leah?" it said again.

Shit. I'd recognize that voice anywhere. The voice of a leech.

The woman was Lauren by the way :P
