AN: Kind of a short chapter but…. It is a very sad chapter, I would recommend listening to Stay by Safetysuit while reading this.

I just kept walking, I didn't care how far away I was, if I needed to get back quickly I could phase. As I was walking that blackness came, the blackness that found me when Sam left. Those two weeks I was a complete wreck, and then when Emily came and he left me for good. I started to feel tears fall down my face, this rarely happened, I had taught myself not to cry when I thought about him.

The pain he made me feel was unbearable, worse than unbearable, it could have easily made me want to die. Sam was the only thing in my world, then when he stopped loving me, my world stopped. By now I was in full fledged hysterics, sitting in the forest hugging my knees to my chest, trying to pull myself together. About an hour later I finally had gotten myself to a point where I could go back, everyone had probably gone back home by now. I walked toward my house not bothering to interrupt whatever was going on at Sam and Emily's place, I walked through the front door and smelled something weird. "Mom?" I asked, it smelled like food but she hadn't cooked since Dad past away and I didn't expect her to start back up anytime soon.

"I'm in here!"

"The kitchen?"

"Yeah, come here."

"Coming." I made my way towards the kitchen, and there was my mom standing over the stove, stirring some kind of concoction. "Mom?" I said trying to get her attention, "Oh, Leah!" She jumped a little and then ran over and hugged me, this was odd she was cheery. "I have a surprise for you." She said as she gestured towards the stove, "Smells good." I said with a small smile trying to be happy. "It's grandma's pasta casserole, your favorite." As mom said this, her smile started to fade, it had been five years since grandma died, but it was still hard on her. Mom talked through most of dinner and I listened as I ate, and ate, and ate. I found it odd that I was so hungry, I had never been this hungry before I was changed.

After a few hours, it was Seth's shift, he wouldn't let me do it for him, he hadn't slept in days and it was showing. Because he wouldn't let me do it for him or come, I thought I would sneak out and follow him, I didn't want him to get to exhausted. As soon as I phased and started to follow him I had to try to keep my mind as quiet as possible, he would figure out that I was following him eventually, but for the time being I wanted to keep out of his way.

It was nearly impossible to keep my mind quiet, I thought I was doing fairly well until I heard "Leah go home!" Seth said annoyed, "No you go home and sleep you need it more than me, understand?" "No…Am I going to have to drag you back home? Or will you go willingly?" "FINE I'm going I'm going."

So I bounded into the forest changing my clothes, sulking back home I started to notice the forest around me the dark and the light fighting against each other, and before I knew it darkness ensued. I could feel the flashback coming on even though I tried to out run it…

"Leah, I need to talk to you." Sam and I were sitting on the beach the same spot as always, in complete seclusion. "Go ahead," I said with a small smile, he moved a piece of hair out of my face, he was frowning. Frowning was not unusual for Sam since he went away, it confused me. "Leah, you know that I love you, you know I always will, but…" He trailed off, my mind went blank, "But, what? What are you saying?" I asked shocked I could feel the tears well up behind my eyes, "But I'm not being fair to you, there is someone else, someone I can't live without." The tears escaped my eyes "Who is it?" I yelled nearly hyperventilating "Emily…" He whispered I swore for a moment that I had blacked out, then my subconscious took over I grabbed a sharp stone that was laying next me and I threw it at his face with as much strength as I had. I then stood and ran, before long I remembered my promise bracelet I ripped it off of me and threw it down to the ground. I ran and ran until I got home I ripped open the door tears continuing to fall, I ignored the yelling from my parents asking the obvious questions. I went to my room where she was, sitting by the window doodling on her notebook, I ripped it out of her hands. "What was that for?" She asked worriedly, "Get. Out. Now!" I screamed hitting her with the notebook, she ran out as I fell to the floor passing out.

Coming out of the flashback was like coming out of a coma, or at least that was the comparison I had to give myself to keep going.
