Hey, hey, hey!!
Well, you guys have been reviewing and asking me not to stop this fanfic at two chapters… . I'm not even sure why I stopped it there. I could've written like 100 chapters just for the story Leah wrote (yes, I have a few ideas of my own. :).
So, here I go. I'm going to write this chapter here and now. So sit back, get comfortable, and read the next chapter (three, if you are slow and didn't know!).
Read. This step is crucial! Without this, the next two steps would be impossible!
Enjoy. Okay, to tell you the truth this is the least important of the steps, but I really hope you do enjoy! If you do, Review. If you don't, Review. :) (Are you seeing a pattern here? Review and tell me!)
Review. Haha. I mentioned this one in the previous one. I believe this is probably the second most important step (I would say first, but as I said if you don't read how can you enjoy or review?)… So when you're done reading, here's what you do: Just click your cute little mouse (or fluffy little track pad!) on that pretty little green button! It'll only take seconds, and I love getting reviews. They make me VERY happy… I really need the love.. 3

PS: I forgot to say thanks. :) I really appreciate all the reviews I got for the first two chapters (I couldn't tell you how many, but there were a lot.. For me.), that means a lot. So don't stop. :)

Leah's Point of View
I couldn't go on. I couldn't keep writing.
I was crying to hard. You would think that writing about something you wish would have happened wouldn't hurt this much. But to me, this hurts more than just sitting here and thinking about how nothing will happen.
Only because I wish with all my heart that this story could be true. I want it to be, but I know deep down in my heart that it isn't. It won't happen, no matter how hard I wish. Sam loved Emily. Why couldn't I get that through my thick head? He wasn't going to come back to me. He didn't love me. He and Emily are going to get married and have scores of little were wolf babies, while I'm all alone. Great.
The tears wouldn't stop falling, so I threw the notebook into the box at the foot of the bed and placed my letter (already written and folded beside me) on top of that, before sealing the box up. In my heart, I knew that I wasn't done. I would write more once I was gone, somewhere far away and send it to him later.
I looked over at the bag on the floor, with a frown on my face.
I didn't want to leave La Push. This place was my home, where my family and all my friends live. I have no where to go. I would have gone to Emily's.. But she's kind of the problem, and she's here. So now I was about to set off completely on my own. All alone. Just me, my back pack (crammed full of half my clothes, three notebooks, my pink wallet, my lap top, and my phone and lap top chargers) and all of the money in my bank account.
With a sigh, I stood up, grabbing my bag as I left with the box tucked under my arm. I walked to Seth's door and knocked, very timidly there.
"Come on in, Lee-Lee." Seth said from inside. I opened the door and stepped in, searching for my baby brother, the only person on this Earth who really loves me, other than our mom. "Your leaving aren't you?" He asked, looking at my face. He could see it in my eyes (I knew this, because his eyes hadn't touched the bag yet.). I sat my bag down and placed the package on top of it.
"Yeah. I have to get out of here, Seth." I said, walking across his cluttered room to hug his bare chest. "I love you so much."
"I love you to, Leah.. I'm going to miss you." He said, frowning at me. "You'll keep in touch, won't you?" He asked me.
"Yeah. I'll call you every day." I turned to leave and then spun around. "Take care of mom for me, okay?"
He smiled at me. "Don't worry Leah."
"Tell her I love her." I told him, grabbing the package and stuffing it under my arm.
"I will. Goodbye, Leah."
"Bye, Seth. Thanks so much." I said, and walked out of the room with my backpack slung over my left shoulder. I walked through the house, glancing around at the familiar setting, memorizing it in my mind.
I walked out the door and over to my truck. It had been my birthday present when I turned sixteen… Then I didn't know that I'd be running around in the forest in wolf form. It had been ages sense I even drove anywhere, but as I slid into the cab I smiled. This truck had been my favorite place to be (if I wasn't in Sam's arms), before I turned into a wolf and didn't have the time or the need to drive around. The engine growled when I turned the key in the ignition, and soon I was driving out the driveway.
I drove slowly now, looking around at the scene going around in the little town I would soon leave most likely for good. I could see a couple kissing on a bench in front of our one little store.. I could see people milling around in the Brown's well trimmed front yard. I could hear laughter coming from the little dinner on the corner.
I parked in front of the post office and stepped out of the truck with the package in my hands. When I opened the door I saw Jennifer, a girl I had gone to school with, behind the counter. "Hey, Leah." She called.
"Hi." I said, trying to smile. This was in some ways my goodbye, even if it was to someone I hadn't seen sense I dropped out of high school to run around in the forest with the pack. I walked over to her and handed her my package. "How are you?"
"Alright." She answered, putting it in pile behind her. "You?"
"Okay, I guess." I said, handing her a ten dollar bill.
"That's good." She responded, counting my change. "Here you go." She handed me the change and then smiled warmly up at me. "Bye."
"Yeah, bye." I said, smiling back. I turned and walked out the door, walking quickly over to my truck.
I didn't want to leave without going to say goodbye to the beach. The beach, was well, my place. I love it so much, I hated to lose it. Maybe I'll go somewhere with a beach. I don't think I'll be able to afford to live there though. La Push wasn't really like a beach type of beach. Cold waters, dark skies.. But I liked it that way. The skies matched my mood.
I drove quietly down the road until I saw the little parking lot right down from the beach. I pulled in and got out quietly. I looked up at the clouds as I walked, until I was only a few feet from the water. I sat down there, and looked at the water hitting the jagged rocks just down the beach. I reached down and wrote goodbye in the sand, but then I heard the voices.
"I love you." Sam was saying. I knew who he was talking to, I didn't have to look up. He only loved one person.
"Oh, Sam." Emily giggled. I groaned to myself, looking out at the dark water. Well. This ruined my one goodbye (not counting Seth and Jennifer.). "I love you, too."
I could hear his fingers running through her hair as he kissed her in the sand and I stood up, without glancing at them and stormed up the beach.
They were too wrapped up in themselves, that they didn't notice little old Leah sitting right down the beach. I growled quietly to myself and yanked my door open.
I was pushing fifty when I drove past Jake's house and by the time I hit the highway, I was at seventy. I rolled my window down and smiled at the feel of the air slapping me in the face. It was a strangely pleasant feeling.
-
The highway flew by under me and soon the sky turned pink outside my windows.. I looked at the big sigh just ahead and smiled. I was close to Seattle. I guess I should stop there, get something to eat and find a hotel. I would decide what I was doing from there. Who knows. Maybe I could be the nomad of were wolfisms (yeah. I made up that word. :) Go me.).
I turned into the city just after the sun set over the horizon and found a hotel right beside a Mc Donald's. Simple. I'd go get my room, and then come out and get my dinner so I could eat in my room.
The parking lot was almost empty, so I wasn't worried about getting a room. I parked right in front to go in. I pulled my wallet out of my backpack and opened the door, locking the truck before I walked into the hotel.
-
I smiled at the little room. It was interment, mostly taken up by the queen sized bed, with a TV right in front of it.. There was a desk in the corner, which to my pleasure held a sign saying that they had free internet service) with a rolling chair beside it.
I walked past the bathroom door and sat down on the bed with my dinner.. I grabbed the remote and turned the TV on, I needed some sort of noise as I ate. I ate my cheese burger while watching the people on the screen do various things that I forgot seconds after it happened.
After I ate, I muted the TV and pulled my cell phone out of my pocket. I dialed the familiar number easily and waited for someone to pick up.
"Hello?" Mom asked.
"Mom, hey." I said, smiling to myself.
"Oh, Leah. Why didn't you wait for me to get home from work to leave? I understand why you left, sweetheart, but I wish I could have hugged you goodbye." She said to me.
"I needed to leave so I wouldn't lose the light." I told her. "I'm okay, though. I'm at a hotel for the night."
"I guess I understand." She said, and I could tell she was frowning. "Where are you going to go?"
"I'm not really sure." I told her, truthfully. "I'm going to try to figure that out later."
"Alright, call me when you decide."
"I will. Love you mom." I said, the tears welling up in my eyes.
"Night, sweetheart. Love you, too."
"Night." I said, as I hung up. I pulled my clothes up and then slipped my pajamas on and snuggled up in the covers with my notebook. I started writing, the tears wouldn't stop falling, but I didn't care.

Alright. There is a chapter. :) Hope you enjoyed, and if you didn't: Go jump off a cliff. JK. I love you all! :) Here's what you should do if you didn't like it: Review me, and tell me why. If you did: (Haha. You can probably guess!) Review and tell me! Did you like it better or worse than the other two chapters? Did you think it was the best chapter of any fanfic you've ever read (JK.. Not that good, I think. :)? Was it really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really great? Haha. That's a lot of reallys! :)
The next chapter we'll be back with Sam… :) I'll try to get it to you soon.
Thanks for reading.
