Chapter One

Her heart lurched uncomfortably as she took the key from the lady working reception. The number A-3 gleamed mockingly up at her from the tape on her key. Room A-3. Again. The only available fucking room in the place, and it had to be that room.

She had no idea what she was doing there, in La Push. It had been five years since she had first found the place, and five years since she had left it. After her initial visit, she had been sorely tempted to go back.

Collin had pulled her so strongly. What she felt with him had been…really, and she missed it. Still; logic and sanity won over her feelings. Heartache would heal. She couldn't have abandoned school, her family, her life for a man she hardly knew.

But now school was over and her mother had moved away, taking her brother along for the ride. Now she had a step mother who was okay, a dad who was happy, and a degree on her hands. Yet nothing to do.

Buying the plane ticket that would end up with her in La Push had felt like a dream. One minute she'd been drinking wine on her bed, quietly celebrating with herself over her graduation. The next, she was gliding across the room, moving her laptop to her bed, buying the damned ticket.

She stared at the piece of paper in her hand, crinkled from her wringing it. The piece of paper her ticket was printed on.

Ticket…she hadn't bought a round trip, because she didn't know when she was going back.

Tossing herself onto her bed, Laura let a heavy sigh. The amber necklace settled by her cheek, and she could feel the coolness of the stone stroking her skin. Turning weary eyes to the small, round gift, she sighed once more.

"I'm an idiot aren't I?" She asked the unresponsive piece of jewellery. "He's got an okay job, some sexy, slinky wife. Maybe he's got kids." She rolled onto her stomach, one arm propping her torso up as the other held the amber before her face. "He's forgotten my name. He doesn't know who I am, or what we did." She said it in a voice full of resignation and self loathing.

Silently, the amber listened on.

AN:

These chapters will indeed be short. I have decided that I like this idea and am going to continue with it. However, I am classifying this particular fic as a "drabble story", meaning that they won't have any significant length to them. This is more to help me get back into the swing of writing things, than anything else. If you don't like short chapters or Anti-Imprint fic, then. Well, sorry.

Hope you enjoy this Laupup 8)
