Leah POV
I had no clue where I was going. I didn't want to think about it, just wanted to get away, just needed to leave. I couldn't run like this forever, in my wolf form, then walk into a city, with nothing but the clothes on my back. I came to a halt. For once, fate was on my side. An unlocked car stood in front of me, with the keys in the ignition. I phased and changed, ignoring Seth's frantic pleas to come back. I wasn't going to turn around, and come back. Not right now. I jumped in the car, and sped off down a highway. A few days I told myself, just a few days. Of course, as I had turned on the ignition, my family, Jacob, and the rest of the pack passed through my mind, each memory telling me not to leave. Not to go. But I had to let them go for a while, just a bit, to clear my mind. And to pray that Jacob made his up.
Jacob POV
I was pacing wildly. How could she leave me? What was this all about? Rosalie knew, but glancing at Edward I knew she was hiding a good part of her thoughts. But why did Leah have to do that? She could of taken me with her! I winced, the pain of her never coming back kept slipping its way in. But what was I supposed to think? I mean, come on Leah. I cursed, and almost ripped his head off for reading my thoughts. Why was it that I still couldn't stand him? I cursed myself, still keeping my rapid pacing. I couldn't stand the mind reader because....Bella. Not that I loved her like I love Leah, well, that was once upon a time, but not now. It wasn't true, I didn't act like I loved Bella more. Leah knew, well, she should've known. She had to have known about my feelings for Bella. Strictly friends. But why did I hate Edward so much? A picture of my arm around Bella's waist flew into my mind. But it went, replaced with a Leah picture. What I would do to her, what would happen. It was Sam all over again. I couldn't let that happen. But does that mean I'm only dating Leah so I won't hurt her? No. I love her. I repeated that to myself, but I couldn't bring all of me to agree. I couldn't let Bella go, let the pictures of me holding her leave my mind. Edward grimaced, probably reading my thoughts. 'Don't like it, don't mess with my mind leech.' He growled, and everyone looked at us.
"I think we should go." Embry, the peacemaker, always stopped oncoming fights, unless it involved him. Even then he was quite subdued. I laughed to myself and sauntered out the door, my pack following me. As we went back to La Push, a picture of Bella laughing and Leah smiling kept leaping through my mind. What was I going to do?
Leah POV
I arrived at a motel, after 4 hours of driving. I wasn't going to go in, but I planned to ditch the car here. No doubt that the police were informed. I stopped on the side of the road, though no security cameras were to be found. I ran into the woods and phased. Only my thoughts resounded, meaning they hadn't started patrols yet. In case of someone's immediate phase, I started singing nursery rhymes in my head. I ran through the woods until I found a good place to sleep. I phased and changed, falling asleep on some moss. As I drifted off to sleep, my mind wandered toward Jacob breaking up with me, and Bella leaving Edward. I winced, and shooed the thought away. But in the back of my mind, a warning was going off, like it was trying to tell me to brace myself for heartbreak.
