I ran forever it felt like. I ran past the beach nearly tripping over a log and I ran all the way to the diving spot on the top of the cliff. My breath had become short little gaps as time went by and my ribs were killing me. I think I broke three- No wait, Jacob broke three of them. The cut in my head had already healed but my headache didn't. My ribs were healing too--only the wrong way.

Leah stop! Jacob told me. He was a mile or two behind. I should've known better than to think I can get some alone time as a wolf.

Leave me alone Jacob.

Then come back.

No frickin' way, I didn't bug you when you got pissy and left.

Leah, there's no way you'd survive out there for months. You can't even stand eating raw! So stop being so ridiculous and get your ass back here now.

No.

Leah cut the cra-

Why don't you make me?! You have the power right Bruce Almighty?! Just go back to the lochness monster.

I don't need him he's just getting in my way. If he's going to be spending more time with the infant than the pack then why keep us? Why not make us go back? This pack was the best before that thing came along.

Jacob ignored my thoughts as he came to a stop.

Knock it off Leah. Paul will get what he deserves but there's no reason to bring Nessie into this.

I do feel bad about treating Jacob this way but he's kind of like a traitor to me. After he wants to kill that thing he decides to marry it. Ugh! I thought we were on the same page. I ran far enough so that I can phase and get away from him for the time being. If I kept running I'd probably end up collapsing and if I stay here…Jacob will find me by my stupid scent.

I collapsed anyway with pain flowing through every vein.

Leah come back.

He sounded like Sam.

Alright then, I guess I'll just have to drag you back.

I'm surprised he didn't go into Alpha mode but he did start he's sprint again, faster than ever.

That's when I decided it was time to phase. With a piercing howl to a high pitched scream, I transformed. I could hear Jacob's howl for me.

Fuck! It hurts so much! I clenched my side where I could feel the bones bent wrongly. I laid still for as long as I could. The rain felt good against my extremely uncharacteristically warm body. But it wasn't good for my throat. It was already sore and I had a couple of hard coughs here and there.

I only brought a large T-shirt and struggled to put that on carefully. The ocean wasn't too far from here…I could make it. Just to feel the hard wind and watch the black wave's crash. I could almost see the cliff from the trees anyway.

I pushed myself up through shaky arms, gripping a tree to help me stand right. There was an uncomfortable pain every time my skin moved against the broken bones.

Whatever though. Move now, cry later. When I got the cliff I was already out of breath. For crying out loud! I practically crawled there!

I laid on my side watching the rain hit the ocean. I'd never jump into an ocean at night…unless it was a dare. Let alone, I wouldn't jump in there by myself even if it was daytime. At one time one suicide thought came to me quickly but left just as fast.

Even when Sam left, sure I cried my fucking heart out but I never did anything beyond my limits.

I heard four paws turn to a pair of legs and then a pair of shorts being pulled on. Guess who it is? It was Quil! What a shocker. Um no. It was all Jacob. If it was Quil, my day would have gone all sunny side up again.

"Leah, your coming home weather you want to or not. I'm not taking 'No' for an answer."

Now that was the first time I heard him go into Alpha mode. Lucky me.

He bent down to pick me up but I protested.

"You're so stubborn I swear." He said as he almost lifted me off the ground.

"It hurts too much. Just give me a minute." I gasped. He put me down again gently. I was ready to come back home. Get on the computer or something.

He let out a long suffering sigh but sat down next to me. Why was he even here? He could be spending time with the Adam's family. At least that's what the leeches reminded me of anyway. Him and his four year old wife. T-R-A-I-T-O-R.

But I forgive him like he forgave me.

"Jacob? I'm sorry I-"

"Jake? Leah?" A new voice interrupted.

I hadn't notice him coming. I would have phased if I wasn't doubling over in pain.

Jacob didn't even give it a second chance. He phased in the next five seconds.

"I'm not dealing with you right now Paul." I whispered but I'm pretty sure he heard me.

Jacob growled at him standing protectively in front of me. I would have said that was kind of him but knowing Jake, the compliment would be shoved right back into my face as an insult.

Jacob is a great guy though. I haven't thought about it much and it's a weird time to think of it but he's always there when someone needs him and he's always there to hear someone's problems even if he doesn't want to. You can talk about anything with him.

"Look Leah. I am sorry. I know your trying to change but sometimes it gets a little out of control. I mean you temper anyways."

"My temper?! What about yours?! Your way worse than me! I can't believe you even said that. You can go talking behind my back but I don't even think about doing that to y-"

I stopped mid sentence trying to catch some oxygen. Every time I took a breath my ribs would rub against one another. Jacob looked at me anxiously.

Paul completely ignored me. Of course he would. "Sam told me to come and apologize and I did. It's not my fault your sucha bitch."

I tried to get up again and successfully did when Jacob helped nudge me up.

"It's not my fault your ugly but you don't see me complaining."

Paul's temper rose again and he started shaking from head to toe. Well you know what they say…when push comes to shove.

"Ruh Row. Scooby dooby doo is about to blow, better watch out Jake." I warned him.

Just a second later Paul was in my face, about to tear it apart, until Jake yanked him by his feet. I took an involuntary step back out of habit forgetting the cliff. My weight was too much for one foot so my other one slipped off as well. My vision of Jacob and Paul slipped out of sight until I found myself watching the jaggy cliff move upward.

I screamed loudly, pushing my hands out to grab something. Anything.

"LEAH!!" Jacob yelled.

My hands scratched all along the cliff until I got hold of a stable rock. With the rain still beating down hard, I couldn't hold on for that much time. I was dangling thirty feet above a big sharp pointy looking rock type thing. Whatever it was, it had no landing point.

Either that would kill me or my pounding headache.

I could hear Jacob's voice yelling my name over and over again. It felt like I couldn't breathe anymore. My ribs were on fire and I was choking on smoke. I searched all around to find something that would get me out of my situation but I got nada.

God damn Paul. This wouldn't have happened if he never showed up. If Sam never sent him.

"LEAH! YOU OKAY?!" Jacob yelled while leaning half way over the cliff.

"Jacob…please help me…" I whimpered. He wouldn't leave me here. Not in a million years.

"Just hold on! I'll meet you there." I was doing my best and I think Jake was waiting for Sam to come or something-No wait. He's crazy! He started to lift him self carefully over the cliff.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I yelled frantically. There was no way he would survive. He'd end up slipping even if he did have his wolf powers.

"Trying to get to you little puppy." I heard him mumble. I let the insult pass. I had more things to worry about.

"Like hell you are! Get your ass back up there and wait for Sam or something…" I said as if he was standing in front of me. I couldn't yell anymore.

"Jacob!" I heard Sam yell. Speak of the devil. "Where is she?!"

I guess Jake climbed back up to the top. "Down there"

I couldn't see what they were doing but the next I knew was that Jacob was coming back down the cliff with a rope attached to him.

"Leah, are you hurt?!" Sam asked worriedly.

I decided not to reply. As Sam would say if he was down here 'Save your breath.'

My eyes were burning, with tears already streaming down. My vision was getting blurry and I was about to slip off the rock I was holding on to.

I gave up.

I let go off the cliff and let my body fall. I didn't meant do it on purpose but I was exhausted. They should have known better than to think I could hold on for that long.

The wind whipped all around me as I fell. When I hit the ocean, it felt like a thousand bees were stinging me at one time.

Water was rushing up into my nose and out of no where two strong arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me upwards.

Once we- assuming Jacob was the crazy one who jumped in- broke the surface, he asked "Leah?! Leah, stay awake okay? I'll be dammed for life if you slip into a coma."

"SAM!" He yelled two seconds later. Really, what would I do without him?

I was barely conscious so I wasn't paying attention to how much time we were in the water or anything, but the next thing I knew was that Sam's arms were the next thing to grab me outta the ocean.

I guess Jacob swam us all the way to shore. I wonder how he managed that.

I was laid gently on the sand, as Jacob looked over me.

"Leah can you hear me?"

Ya Jake, I can hear ya.

"Leah?"

I let out a deep sigh in response.

"Look, I know your not going to like this but Carlisle is the only one who can help." Sam said.

I opened my eyes at once. How could they do that to me? I hate those leeches! Not one of them is gonna touch me!

"N-N-N-No!" I sais through chattering teeth. It was freezing. I haven't been this cold since I was normal.

I coughed roughly and Sam gave Jacob a meaningful glance.

"Jacob, can you take Leah back to Emily's? I have a phone call to make." Sam said with full authority.

"Ya, of course."

No, no, no, no! They were not having that leech take a look at me. I might as well be dead.

Jake picked me up carefully and started a nice slow jog.

"Jacob?" I asked.

He didn't look at me.

"Jacob?" I tried again, but found myself coughing a moment later.

"You shouldn't talk Leah, you should be resting."

"Are you mad?" I whispered.

No response. What was up with that?

"Are you mad at me?"

"No" Came his sharp reply.

"Paul?"

"What did I say about not talking? I meant it Leah."

"I-i-i-i-m g-gonna keep talking u-unless you start." Why is it so cold? It feels like it snowing. It's probably going to start soon.

"Stubborn, again. Fine I'll talk and you just need to shut up. I'm mad at myself. Ya, Paul is a big part the whole situation but it would have never happened if I never listen to you. At the cliff I should of just picked you up and brought you home…"

Or he could of let me just kill Paul.

"Why?" He looked at me confusingly.

"Why do you care about me so much?" I explained.

He hesitated at first but then said, "Because you're my friend Leah. Practically another sister to me. Your part of the pack. My pack, and I-I'm glad you joined." He smiled.

"Oh, and Leah? I'd never leave you behind."

For Nessie, he would…but he doesn't have to know that. I smiled warmly at him.

"Thank you…" I said before drifting off to sleep.
