Artemis's POV:

I wake up scared and alone, to a loud noise from above. Was that a gun? Oh god! Doug! What was happening? A seconded loud noise went off. Doug, where are you, I though.

I climb to the head of the bed as far away from the door as I can, and stare at it. I just want Doug. The past couple of days he has really showed me how much he loves me. He brought me upstairs and showed me the house, saying this is where we will start our family, after he fixes everything all up for us. He even stayed with me that night. I must have made him mad though because as soon as he woke up, he beat me then left. But I knew he loved me. I was broken and dirty, Doug knew that but he still loved me. And what he did to me was what I deserved.

So when Embry, the one that took me away from Doug in the first place, came through the door, along with Brady, the traitor best friend, and Leah, the girl that always glared at me, I was surprised. He pretended to love me and had everyone pretending. He tricked me into believing his lies.

"You're not Doug. Where is he? I heard a lough noise, like a gun shot. Where is he?" I ask, just wanting Doug.

"Artemis, it's me, Embry," he says softly, like I don't know who he is. He reaches out to touch my arm but I flinch away.

"Don't touch me! Just leave us alone," I demand. I just want my family and I to be left alone.

"Artemis, I am here to take you home. I'm your boyfriend remember? I love you," he lies. He doesn't love me at all.

"This is my home. And I am not anything to you. You don't love me. You think I am dirt and that I can be used. Doug loves me," I tell him, just waiting them to leave.

"Artemis, please," he says.

"Please just go away and leave us alone," I say starting to tear up and bringing my knees to her chest and wrapping her arms around them.

Leah gets Embry's attention and a few seconds later both of the guys leave. Leaving Leah at the door.

"Hi Artemis," she says, being the first words she has ever said to me.

"Hi," I hesitantly say back.

"Is it okay if I sit?" she asks.

"Yea, on the edge," I reply, wondering what she wants.

"Okay, thank you," she says. We sit in silence for a little while," Can I ask you something?"

"Sure," I reply.

"Why don't you want to leave with Embry?" she asks me. Unlike them, I tell the truth.

"Because he took me from Doug, lied to me, and pretended to love me. He even got everyone in on it," I tell her," I was one big joke."

"Oh, honey. What happened here?" Leah asks.

"He told me the truth. But he had to punish me for leaving him. He told me what I was and he loves me anyways. He want to start a family and fix this place up," I tell her, still being honest.

"Can I tell you something?" she asks, looking at me sadly.

"Yea, I guess," I reply.

"Anyone ever tell you that back in high school, Sam and I dated?" Leah asks.

"No," I answer. Thinking of Sam and Emily together.

"We did and I loved him, maybe still do, but he wasn't the first guy that I ever loved, or at least thought I loved. It was back when I was in middle school. I was 13 and he was 15. We lived in the same neighborhood, so we walked home together and that's how we met. I thought I was lucky because a high schooler wanted to be with me. I thought he was perfect and at first he was," she tells me, tears falling from her eyes," Sorry, this is hard for me to say."

"It's okay," I say, moving next to her and taking her hand," Please go on, if you want."

"I will because you need to hear this," she says, taking a deep breath she continues," Like I said, I thought he was perfect. In the first 3 months, he had everyone fooled, even me. My friends thought we were perfect. He told me everything I wanted to hear, bought me gifts, even my family liked him. He played catch with Seth, and showed my parents respect. They really liked him. But I really loved him and he said he loved me too.

"But when we got into the 4 month, that's when the perfection started to crumble. He started getting mad when I wanted to hang out with my friends, and soon it became my family too. He started to roughly grabbing me by the arm, leaving bruises. Then one day, he hit me. We were in a fight and he got violent. I told people for two weeks that I ran into a wall. I felt like it was my fault. That I shouldn't have made him angry. I blamed myself for his actions.

"The summer before my freshman year, I was 14 by that time, he forced me to have sex with him. I didn't want to but he told me that if I loved him I would, but I still said no. He decided I was going to do it anyway. He raped me, but I felt like it was my fault, like I deserved it.

"But then I met a guy, when school started, and he taught me what real love was. He helped me get away from that awful scumbag. Slowly I began to love and trust him. He taught me that it wasn't my fault and that I deserved the best," she tells me all of this, with tears still falling from her eyes.

"Sam was that guy?" I ask, wiping my eyes because her story made me tear up too.

"Yes he was," she says softly.

"But you guys aren't together anymore?" I question.

"You are right, we aren't. That gets complicated, but he found the person he is supposed to be with and I am happy for him. But I can never forget what he did for me, how he taught me what real love is," she tells me," Now do you know why I told you this story?"

"I think so," I reply, tearing up more.

"Embry never lied to you, that mo- Doug lied to you, abused you and manipulated you. I understand if you don't believe me but I also have no reason to lie to you. And I know that Embry does love you and I don't mean this fake love that Doug has for you, I mean real love," she tells me and I burst out into tears. She pulls me into her arms and I cry into her shoulder.

"He can't love me. I'm dirty, broken and used. He won't want me. He shouldn't. How could he? And I can't love him. I can hardly stand being near him. I just can't," I mumble to her.

"Shh it's okay. I am here for you," I hear her say and I cry into her shoulder, until suddenly I am pulled into darkness, from exhaustion and more.

So what you think? Leah's story? Think she will get through to Artemis? Yes...No...Maybe so... See you guys soon!
