Sorry it's been so long, This year I'm going to try and update more often!:)


"Paul? What's going on?" I whispered, looking around. I was in a cliff Paul was standing beside me. I was wearing a white dress and my hair was loose and the wind was blowing it. Paul took a deep breath and whispered,

"It's you, Leah. You are my imprint. I haven't been completely honest with you and I am truly sorry for that." Paul whispered and my heart speed up. He grabbed my arm and spun me around to face him. He pulled me in for a hot and passionate kiss; I kissed back and let myself fall into the kiss. Then a shout came from the forest it was my dad, he looked sad.

"You've betrayed me Leah, after all I've given up for you. You choose HIM! The son of the man who murdered me?" my father yelled. I gasped and slowly stepped back little did I know I stepped completely over the edge and into the darkness.

I gasped and sat up from my bed breathing hard. I turn around and look around my room, everything was in place, not a thing moved. I run my hands through my hair and sigh. It's been about a month now, Mom was getting better she even got a job, Seth was with Jacob more often. So that means I have a lot of free time, basketball season was still going but coach didn't want to let me back in to a game till she was sure I was okay, that included practice. I needed basketball; it was my escape from my problems. I slowly stand up and walk to my window. I open it and look out; the moon was full and bright. I sighed and reached for my navy blue jacket, I slipped it over my shirt and grabbed my black high-top Jordans and jumped onto the tree branch. I slowly made my way to the ground, I sighed and walked to my car. Everything was quiet, nothing was moving. It was the kind of night my dad would have taken me and Seth to camp in the forest. It wasn't even raining.

I went into my car and turned it on, I pulled out of the drive way and drove to the beach. Hurt by Christina Aguilera was playing from my i-pod and I frowned. Somehow it was always playing a song about how I was feeling. I parked my car and walked to the shore, I sat down on a broken tree branch and watched the ocean. It was so peaceful and I closed my eyes. I took a deep breath as the wind began to play with my long hair.

I heard footsteps behind me. I turned and saw Paul walking towards me, shirtless. I gasped and turned around. Next thing I knew he was sitting down next to me. "Leah?" he whispered and it was like back when we were still friends. I sighed,

"What do you want Paul?" I asked.

"To talk. We've got to talk about what happened, between our families." He said.

"There is nothing to talk about. Your dad killed my dad. End of story." I said and he flinched. I felt sorry for making him flinch but I highly doubt he feels sorry for his dad killing mine.

"Leah, it isn't that simple." He whispered.

"Why do you even care, Paul? You hated me since kindergarten. I see no point in you feeling sorry for me." I said with as much venom I could muster.

"I do care, if it wasn't for that bastard of a father I had, this wouldn't have happened. You would still have had your dad." He said

"And you wouldn't be alive. It does sound like a world I would want to be a part of." I growled.

"You don't mean that, Leah." He said sounding sad.

"Oh but I do. Did you forget what your blood has taken from me? My brother won't have someone to talk to when girls become part of his life, my mother won't have someone to come home from work to. Everyday she'll go to bed alone, because her life partner is gone! You have not only effected me, Paul." I said

"But it wasn't me who killed your dad! IF I would have been there, I would have tried to stop it, Leah. Please believe that." Paul said he sounded broken.

"How can I, Paul?" I whispered hugging myself.

"Because it is true." He said and wrapped his arm around my shoulder pulling me closer. "If I could go back in time and stopped all this I would have. I-I'm sorry, Leah. I pray that you'll forgive me."

"You're just here, saying this things because you feel sorry for me. Well don't, I'm done with you! Everything is done!" I said standing up. "I quit, I finally see everything. I wasn't meant to be happy. First, you, my dad, then they strip basketball away from me. Don't you all see, I have nothing." I said breaking down slowly, why couldn't he show he cared before all this? Because he doesn't care.

"You have been there more for me, Leah. My dad was never there for me, I didn't even know who he was till I was ten. My mom, doesn't care for me, and I have to work my ass off for everything I have. Simple as that. You, you were perfect! You were daddy's little girl, you had a family, you still do!" Paul said standing up. "I've never had that, not for a second."

"But you will never have something to miss. My dad, he was there, always there. When I rode my bike and fell he was my pair of arms to always fall into. Paul, whose going to help me when I fall? No one." I whispered.

"I'm here." Paul said and my heart skipped.

"No, you're here till you forgive yourself. Then you're gone." I said and started walking to my car. Paul followed me.

"Leah I've cared for you, for so long! But I've had the guts to tell you!" Paul said and he grabbed my arm and turned me around. "I've had to tell you, Leah! I was looking for the right time."

I froze and slowly looked into his eyes, "Well, Paul, this isn't the right time, and I highly doubt there will ever be a good time." I said in a low voice, maybe I just cut off my last chance of happiness.

Paul was about to say something but my phone rung I looked at the screen and saw it was Emily. I grimaced and pressed answer, "Hey."

"Leah, I-I'm –hiccup- I need you." She whimpered, she sounded like she was crying.

"What's wrong? Em, answer me!" I said turning around and running to my car, Paul right behind me.

"S-Sam, h- hiccup- he h-hit me." She said sobbing, she sounded so broken. I gasped and grounded my teeth.

"Where are you? Tell me now!" I said, in a soft urgent voice.

"I'm at his house, I'm hiding in a closet. Help me, please." She said, I pressed onto the gas and was in his house in less than a minute. I threw my door open and ran into his house, Paul close behind, the door was unlocked.

"Be careful, Leah." Paul whispered, before entering the house before me. I slowly made my way into the house; it was pitch black, and silent.

"Leah, you came back for that bitch?" Sam's voice sad in the middle of nowhere. I froze and looked around. "That whore said I hit her right, and then she just disappears without a trace. Leah I wanna know something. You've known for some time that I've had feelings for you, for a long time. You have chosen to just ignore me. What am I not good enough for you? Or is it that I'm not Wil? Uhu?" he said.

"Sam, where is she?" I asked, in a deathly whisper.

"Hiding from me. You see I've been having trouble with my temper." He said and I felt a hand grab my wrist, I twisted around. Sam's face was inches away from mine, then his face along with his hand was gone. I gasp and noticed Paul was pulling him back.

"Go find Emily, and run, Leah. Just go!" he yelled and I ran to find Emily. I found her in a closet in the kitchen and saw that she was bleeding.

Then I hear something heavy hitting the wall, I close the door on Emily and look towards the living room. Sam and punched Paul, Paul got up from the floor and jumped onto Sam. My heart was speeding, what am I suppose to do? Help Paul, or help Emily?
