A/N: Hey! I need to say in advance that this chapter might not be as descriptive as the others. But! There is a bit of action here. Also, I need a Beta urgently! So if you are interested, just review me okay?
In that very moment, I could have fainted, I felt like fainting. As a matter of fact, I wanted to faint. Much to my luck, I didn't, I remained as conscious as ever staring deep into Sam's eyes. I couldn't figure out what emotions were going through him; his face was like a blank page, as if he wasn't feeling anything, no hate, no jealousy, no confusion, nothing. I started to wonder if it was okay to feel as guilty as I was feeling, it wasn't as if I was doing anything wrong here. There was nothing that attached me to Sam anymore, I was free to date anyone I wanted, even if it was once of his close friends. Slowly, I let go of Jake's hand which was currently holding mine with unbelievable strength.
"Sam…I….just need to explain, this, I…"
"Jake would you leave us alone for a second" Sam's commanding voice spoke.
I raised my head to look at Jake who was obviously waiting for my approval. I simply nodded and then returned my gaze back to the green grass growing beneath me. Jacob's finger brushed my arm for a moment and then he was gone, leaving Sam alone with me.
I wanted to be able to look a Sam straight in the face and tell him I actually had no explanations to give, but I couldn't. I heard how he walked closer to me and placed his hand in my shoulder.
"Promise me you are not hurting him, Leah"
"Listen, Sam, if you think I am only with him because I needed someone to replace you then you are very wrong." I snapped, knowing exactly what he meant with his last words "It took me a while to realize how much in common I had with Jake, but now that I did, I guess it's just okay to try right?"
"You forget easily, I see" Sam's sarcastic voice reached my ears.
"What do you mean? That I forgot you easily?" I raised my voice to contrast Sam's fake calmed one "You have no idea how long I fought to keep you away from my mind, how many nights I dreamed you could suddenly awaken form the imprinting spell and look at me the way you used you. It's just now, when I found someone else to fill my thoughts that you understand you care for me? Sorry, Sam, but that sounds a little bit selfish to me"
"Listen, you know it was not easy for me either, knowing I had hurt you so much, that it was because of me that you turned into that bitter girl no one could stand,"
My eyes grew wide as I heard Sam's words. It felt as if a poisoned arrow had just fled through my heart. He, of all people, was calling me bitter. He, of all people, was having the guts to let me know no one could stand me. He, who was the one to blame, and he knew it. I could feel my blood start to boil inside of me, the heat being too much to bear, my hands, which were balled into fists now, shook uncontrollably.
"Leah, calm down, please" I heard Sam's voice, but it was nothing more than a distant echo. It was too late.
Suddenly, a shot of pain, then everything went black.
"Leah, Leah please answers me, Leah" A familiar voice spoke to me.
I fought hard to open my eyes, but I couldn't, my eye lids were much too heavy. My lips refused to move as well. I wanted to remember what happened, why I was here, unable to move a muscle; but I couldn't.
"What did you tell her? She couldn't just phased because of nothing"
It was Jacob's angry voice. I heard a few strong steps and then a large thud noise.
"Jacob, calm down please, we don't want another accident here" Quill spoke. It was obvious he was the one holding Jacob back.
"Quill, its okay" Sam said "I didn't said anything, just asked a few things"
"You are supposed to take care of us! Not drive us into danger" Jacob kept arguing.
It was then when the memories shot back to my head. Sam's words entered my thoughts creating a flash of anger. How dared he? I even began to think he might have done everything on purpose. Of course, now Emily wouldn't want to see my face anymore, not after I ruined Claire's birthday. Claire, little Claire, I knew she must be scared now, had she seen me turned into a monster?
"I am sorry, Claire," I heard the words escaping my lips. The sound of my own voice scared me; it seemed like a croak, a very weak croak.
Suddenly everything grew quiet. I knew everyone's face was turned towards me even though I could not see them. A soft touch reached my forehead, it was Jacob, I had grown so used to the touch of his skin; I could recognize it anywhere.
"Leah, how are you feeling?" He softly whispered to me.
It was obvious the rest were in shock, since no one made a sound. Carefully, I tried to open my eyes again, this time I was victorious. Although my vision was still blurry, I could see Jake's face looking down at me. He was kneeled besides me, which meant I was lying on the couch. Paul, Quill, and the rest of the boys were all standing behind Jake, keeping what seemed as a "safe distance". Emily was nowhere to be seen.
"Jake," I said smiling as I raised my hand to touch his cheek. I wanted to smile, but I couldn't "What happened? What did I do? Where is Emily?"
Jake placed a finger on top of my lips in order to make me silent. He smiled reassuringly, letting me know everyone was okay.
"Emily is fine, she is checking on Claire. You gave us quite a fright" Jake chuckled.
Checking on Claire? What was she checking? Was she okay? A million questions ran through my head making the pain even worst. Jake's hand combed my hair delicately; I could sense he was doing his best to keep me calmed, but I also knew there was something we were not telling me.
"Please, Jacob, tell me if Claire is okay" I demanded, although, considering the state of my voice, it didn't sound commanding at all.
Silence, it scared me. I knew then, that something wasn't right. What have I done? I should have known better, I should have tried harder to control myself.
"I will explain everything, I promise, but now you need to rest" Jake told me softly.
I closed my eyes, feeling how his fingers traced the skin of my arm. It didn't take long before every thought of what had happened today, was erased from my mind.
But, deep inside, I knew this wouldn't last long.
A/N: Sooo another cliffie hahaha. What happened to Claire? I promise I will clear that in the next chapter. Plus! I will make is Emily's POV so that you know what exactly happened to Leah once she phased. Remember to review! Because, even though I have the other chapter I mind, I won't upload unless you review. Yes, I am evil.
