Previously on Coming Back?:

She dragged herself outside the cabin, not even glancing back at the now dead boy – or werewolf, should she say. Mary-Lynette had tears running down her cheeks, hiccupping slightly, shuddering at the sudden burst of cold air. She was surrounded by trees – all dark and scary. She wished she'd had Ash, then she wouldn't be so scared. But, he was gone now. She had to go back to being strong without someone else there to support her. Before Ash came into her life.

But, she didn't want to! It felt so nice to back down and let someone else take care of her problems for once. It was nice to have a shoulder to cry on, someone to be there for you when you fell down. She wanted Ash. She wanted him back. Why had he done this? Why did he mend his way inside her heart then rip it right out and across the floor in tiny, sharp pieces?

"Ash," she called into the night, her voice shaky and echoing. Her voice sounded weak, soft. All she heard was the noises of the night. "Ash!" she called again, louder this time. She kept on walking, calling his name louder with each step she took.

"Ash!" Mary-Lynette shrieked, lifting her head up to the dark sky above, more tears flooding out. She was sobbing hard, her cries echoing in the forest. She kept walking. His name, she stopped calling, but only from her throat. Her mind, though...

It was filled with all the loving memories Ash had made her see, all the warmth she felt when he hugged her, kissed her, caressed her hand, stroked her hair, everything. She shuddered again – this time not because of the cold air, but because of Ash.

Soon, she found she was outside her house, and when she walked in, she collapsed in sobs again as her brother held her.

"Mare," he whispered, his eyes hardening with knowledge of what the only source of this could be. He hugged her, shushed her, comforted her and everything, until she fell asleep in his arms. She looked peaceful, so he carried her to her room, laying her on her bed. He kissed her forehead, before leaving to his own room.

Little did he know, what was going on inside poor Mary-Lynette's Dream World.

They danced for a bit, and Mary-Lynette left for the bathroom when she bumped into none other than Ash.

Oh, but he wasn't alone. Oh no, he had some girl from school with him. Blonde, blue eyes, full-blown make-up, dress, high-heels, she had it all. The blonde bumped into her, glared at Mary-Lynette, let go of Ash's hand, then darted to one of the bedrooms down the hall. She let out one seductive growl – to Mary-Lynette it sounded like she was choking – at Ash before walking inside. Mary-Lynette looked up at Ash, only to be disappointed.

He was watching the blonde with lust shown deeply in his eyes, and his smile was predatory, and when Ash pretty much ran down the halls to the bedroom, shut the door behind him, Mary-Lynette was heartbroken again. Why did this have to happen to her? She was a good girl all her life, so why was she getting everyone's crap?

Mary-Lynette ran outside and sat on the grass, watching the stars, tears flooding down her face. She hated this. Ash always hurt her. Maybe it would've been better if they had never met.

Soon, Mary-Lynette quickened her pace to her house, so she wouldn't have to deal with someone trying to win over the love she had lost so suddenly.

When she arrived home, she flung herself into her room, onto her bed, and sobbed her eyes out. She had locked her door and all the windows, and started wishing Ash had never come to Briar Creek in the first place.

And this was just the beginning.

The next morning was a repeat of yesterday. She had a small breakfast, then headed off to school. When she got there, she went straight to her locker, wondering where the heck Jade was. Maybe she was absent. Oh well. So, Mary-Lynette just headed to class, taking her seat right away.

School was very boring, by the way. It passed by the usual; Ash flirting, girls flirting back, same old same old.

Mary-Lynette began walking home, all alone since Jade wasn't here today. She was spacing out, looking but not seeing, when she bumped into someone.

"Oh, sorry," she said, not looking up, but instead going down to get her things.

She saw tanned hands grabbing her things, handing them to her.

"No problem," said a velvety, deep voice. Mary-Lynette looked up for the first time. She had to hold in a gasp at how gorgeous this guy was. He was hot. His hair was a chocolaty brown, while his eyes were a deep shade of violet. His smile was blinding, but it was also very gentle. It was so different from how she met Ash. While he was all arrogant, cocky and jerky, this boy was sweet, kind, and not at all the jerk type.

Mary-Lynette turned and ran.

She had tears in her eyes, and she ignored the boy's worried calls. She just kept running, not knowing where she was going, until she realized she was in front of the Redfern's residence. Mary-Lynette was breathing heavily, her eyes wide. She was highly considering just bursting in there and asking Ash why he didn't want her anymore after all they've been through.

That is until she heard Ash and some girl laughing loudly from inside.

Then she turned and ran back to her house.

When she reached her house, she went straight to her room. She cried again. She was turning real soft, wasn't she? She continued to cry until midnight, when she sniffed loudly, and wiped her eyes. She got up and dressed into her pajamas, getting ready for the long day ahead of her.

Ash had a long night. After the brunette – he forgot her name – went home, he was dead tired. He laid down on his bed, watching the stars. That's when his door burst open, and there stood his sister – Jade.

"What are you doing in my room?" Ash bellowed. Jade glared at him, yelling her response.

"She wasn't right!"

"What do you – " he began, yelling louder, when Jade burst into tears, shrieking her response.

"SHE WASN'T THE SAME AS MARE!" and with that, Jade ran out of his room, slamming the door behind her. Ash's eyes softened for a little before they hardened again. No one understood...

Jade sniffed, wiping her eyes, and blowing her nose into the tissue Rowan handed her. She walked outside, watching the bright stars in the backyard. They were so pretty...

Mary-Lynette's face flashed through her mind suddenly, and she glared at the sky. Why was Ash such a jerk? He made Mare love him, then he just randomly decided he was bored with her. And she thought that since they were – and still are – soulmates that he would finally change. But, he hadn't. Ash was still the same player and ass he was before he met Mary-Lynette. Jade was angry and sad at the same time. She just hoped Mary-Lynette could deal with all the teasing that went around the school about her.

The player played the un-playable.

Mary-Lynette went downstairs to the kitchen for a midnight snack. She opened the fridge, seeing there was nothing that she wanted to eat. So, she just took out a bag of chips. She tried to open it, but it wouldn't open! So, she grabbed a knife, to open the bag – she couldn't find scissors.

Bad thing, the house was hot, so her hands were a bit slippery. So, her hand slipped when she tried to cut the bag, and instead gave her a long – but shallow – cut right under her wrist. She winced, and bit her lip while she watched the blood drip from her arm. She winced slightly in pain, going to grab some paper towels for the blood. She wiped the floor first, then threw away the paper towels since they were soaked with crimson. She grabbed a new one, then cleaned her wound, wrapping it up when she was done. Then, she went back to her room, covering herself with the blanket.

All throughout the night, Mary-Lynette was thinking about the incident that happened, and how she liked the feeling of getting cut.

A/N: Heyy. Sorry it took so long. I had it almost done, almost done, and then I had to leave. Grr. This is how my week went:

Monday – Wednesday: Finish homework/study for quiz, go to sleep for school.
Thursday – Friday: Go straight to friend's house after school, didn't get the chance to go on computer.
Saturday: Wake up, get dressed, head out to Elgin. (visiting my uncle.)
Sunday: HERE YA GO, GUYS! :D
