Without you I'm nothing

Sam's POV

The guys who had gone to find Leah had come back wet and empty handed. Seth and Jacob where seething and glaring at Emily's almost smug expression. The rest of the pack looked sad, sure, but they had never given the time of day to really get to know her so they didn't know whether to be sad that she was finally gone or happy that the mourning would finally stop. I felt empty, like something big was missing from my world, like the light had been sucked out and I was left in darkness, fumbling for a missing switch.

That night I went to bed but couldn't sleep. I hadn't eaten, frank and I didn't sleep. I just thought, thought about the good times with Leah, the rocky times, the bad times and then the horrible finale when she caught Emily and I screwing not 2 days after Leah and I had broken up. Then I hadn't felt bad, guilty maybe but in my heart I knew she would have to find out sooner or later. Then I had been sure of my future and who was going to be in it and despite everyone's wishes, Leah was in it. Now when I thought about my future I saw a black stretch of tunnel with me stumbling around trying to find the exit.

A whole week went past without a trace of Leah. Her scent had been washed away with the rain and she never answered any calls to her cell phone. One day, there only a dial tone, nothing but a distant beep signalling the phone had been cut off. This seemed to worry everyone but no one did anything, myself included. We all just sat around, hoping she may come back and hoping she was ok. None of us knew that our twisted life was about to become even more twisted, none of us thought that they had had it in them. But it happened 2 weeks later when there seemed no chance Leah was coming back, it happened on a normal Friday afternoon.

Emily's POV

With one last look around the reservation, I headed home to pack. I was going to finally move in with my true love Mike. Him and I had been dating secretly for 2 months, only ever going to secluded places and only ever for short amounts of time. But now that my annoying, bratty cousin was gone and Sam would be tied around my finger, I could afford to do risky things such as this as I would always have Sam to fall back onto. With one last smile I headed back to the place that I would no longer call home.

No one was in when I finally arrived which was lucky as Mike would be here to pick me up in 30 minutes and I had to think of a speech that would make Sam think that he had driven me to this, that I loved him but couldn't be with him because of him. This I managed to do while packing up all my things and by that time Mike was here as was Sam. Well this was going to be fun.

When I got to the bottom of the stairs, I saw Mike and Sam toe to toe, glaring at each other with their fists raised. "Sam stop he is with me" I said, putting on my best sad voice, making it look like that I really was sad about what I was going to say next. "Sam I would like you to meet my new boyfriend, Mike".

"Huh?" he muttered unintelligibly.

"He's with me, leave him alone. You drove me to this with all your 'poor Leah this and poor Leah that'. Well what about me, don't I deserve a bit of recognition too?" by the end of it I was practically screaming. Instead of the sad, woeful expression I had planned for, I had an enraged and then smug expression.

"Wait what?" again with the intelligence.

"Sam I'm leaving, leaving this life and this responsibility, but most of all, I'm leaving you". With that I went upstairs to get my bags, Mike trailing after me. This seemed to go easier than I expected. I didn't feel guilty in the slightest and as soon as we were in the bedroom Mike started to kiss me. Just as things were going good though Sam came barging in.

"What the fuck are you doing? You are still in my HOUSE and on MY bed and you're about to FUCK?" he yelled, shaking so quickly he was blurring.

"Sam! Get out of the house now! It is none of your business what I do now, I'm a single woman" I stated matter-of-factly. I was so sick of having to be careful around him, not being able to mess with other guys in case they got their dicks pulled off and rammed down their throat.

"Get out now" he said so low that I could barely make out his words. Instead of softening the words, the low pitch of his voice just made him sound more dangerous. I knew I had to get out if Mike was to survive. Grabbing my gear, I ran out of the, turning around just in time to see Sam sprint out the door and into the woods.

Seth POV

It was their entire fault. If they hadn't started to mess around before the relationship had properly ended Leah wouldn't have been like this, she wouldn't have sunk into herself and decided the only way to save herself was to leave. Upon leaving she had ripped out mums and my heart. She was moody to everyone else but as soon as she got home she would always try her best to be happy, always making sure we were okay. We never thought to delve too deep into her motives. We figured she would get over it eventually so when she had announced her departure, I turned just in time to see a smirk on Emily's face. That bitch wanted Leah to go, she didn't care about what would be the consequences to it and Sam, and he had done the hurting in the first place. I slowly felt my anger build inside of me until it felt like I would explode. With long meaningful strides I made my way outside and into the woods, only one thing in mind, make those who had hurt his sister feel pain, Sam being the first target.
