Prologue
Lila-Magnolia's P.O.V
I swayed my hips to the music and sipped from my red plastic cup, while I grinded on some hot guy who'd shown up for my party. He held my hips close to him and grinded back as I lifted my arms over my head and ran them down the sides of his hair, face then neck, before I spun quickly as he yanked me to him, smashing his lips on mine. I kissed him back as he walked backwards towards the stairs. I grabbed his hand and we ran up the stairs. I pulled him into my bedroom and slammed the door shut. We stumbled in the dark, still kissing, before we fell onto my bed. I chuckled as he tried and failed to pull my shirt over my head. He huffed before I sat up and pulled it off only to be attacked by kisses as I noticed he'd taken his off too.

My bedroom door slammed open and the light switched on. Our heads snapped to the doorway where my parents stood, with very, very angry faces. It was then that I noticed there was no longer any music playing. They turned around and stormed out of my room and back down the stairs. I quickly stood and yanked my shirt back over my head and chased after them. Everyone was quickly evacuating the house, yelling and laughing.

Ethan's P.O.V
I stretched tiredly as I looked down at the papers before me. Bills scattered the table as I tried to work out how we were gonna be able to pay for mum's hospital bills and the house.

"Ethan?" My younger sister Sarah's voice called. I looked up to see her standing in the entrance of the hallway. She held a stuffed bunny to her chest as she looked at me with fear in her eyes.

"Are we gonna be okay?" She asked as tears welled up in her eyes, then spilled out over the edges. I stood up with a soft smile and light chuckle. I picked her up and moved to the lounge room, sitting her on my lap on the lounge.

"Of course we're gonna be okay." I whispered to her like it was some great secret. She looked up at me with her glassy blue eyes, near identical to mine. I smiled softly at her.

"Is mummy gonna be okay?" She asked softly as she twiddled with her fingers. My heart fell and my smile dropped.

"I don't know Sarah, I don't know." I said honestly. She nodded her head sadly. I stood up with her in my arms and took her to bed. I laid her down and tucked the blankets up under her chin. I kissed her forehead.

"I promise I'll do my best to take care, of all of us." I said as I smiled at her. I stood and walked to the door. Her voice stopped me in the doorway.

"I love you Ethan." She said in her sweet little voice. I smiled and turned my head to face her.

"I love you too little sis." I said back as I returned to the dinning room. I sat back at the table, thinking over what she'd said and remembering the sorrow and fear in her eyes.

"We're gonna have to make some changes." I said to myself.

Riley's P.O.V
I wiped my cheeks of tear stains but it was pointless as tears continued to leak from my eyes regardless. There was a gentle knock on my door.

"Honey? Are you okay?" My mums soft voice came through the door. I rolled my eyes at her lame attempt at acting like she really cared.

"I-I'm fine mum." I stuttered out as I sniffed and rubbed my nose with a tissue, laying down on my bed. I pulled my teddy bear to my chest as mum opened the door and entered my room. She sighed and sat on my bed beside me. She stroked my hair softly and I cried harder.

"Oh sweetie, it's gonna be okay." She said as she kissed the side of my head. I burried my face in my bear as she stroked my hair one last time before standing and leaving my room, shutting the door behind her. I rolled onto my back and stared up at my ceiling, wishing my life was different. That somehow I didn't have to constantly disappoint my dad by simply existing. Mum and dad played it off like I was constantly hurting cause I had no friends. Not that, that didn't help, but it was really dad. Mum never stood up for me. Like I said, she doesn't, really, care.

Jacob's P.O.V
'I can't believe she went running after that blood sucking leach!'

I ran as fast as my four legs could carry me.

'Jake! Jake calm down!'

I could hear Embry yelling in my mind.

'She's chosen him! She's gonna become one of them! I can't believe I was so stupid!'

The pain and anger of the whole scene kept playing in my mind and undoubtedly in Embry's and whoever elses was on patrol.

'Oh shut up Jake! It was obvious she wasn't gonna choose you.'

I snarled at Leah's comment. Of course she was the other wolf on patrol. My anger began to fizzle a little and I began to slow my run. I hated to agree with Leah, but she did know all about being rejected.

'Hey!'

Maybe it had been obvious to everyone else. I snarled at myself and blocked the rest of the pack out of my mind. I walked along before I came to a stop in a small clearing of green grass. I laid down my head on my paws. I winnyed.

Leah's P.O.V
I listened as Jake spouted angrily.

'She chose him! She's gonna become one of them! I can't believe I was so stupid!'

I rolled my eyes as I lazily ran after Embry who was tracking the erratic movements of Jacob.

'Oh shut up Jake! It was obvious she wasn't gonna choose you.'

I thought back to him as I rolled my eyes as Embry began to slow his chase a little. Jake must be slowing down.

'Well she does know all about being rejected.'

He though subconsciously. I snarled at his comment.

'Hey!'

I shouted back angrily. What an Ass. Embry slowed a little as we approached a small clearing. We watched Jake winny and mope on the grass. Soon his winning stopped and he stood to face us, his head bent down. Don't feel pity, don't feel pity. He doesn't deserve it. You shouldn't care about him. Though I do relate to being rejected by the one dearest to you.
