Leah was disoriented when she woke up to find herself not in the dirt which covered her brothers grave, but rather a slightly lumpy and unmade bed that was obviously not her own. To be honest, she had no idea where she could be for a few minutes and actually started to wonder if she had dreamed visiting her brothers grave, until Jacob Black walked in to the room with a cup of black coffee meant for her since he did not touch the stuff.

"How did I end up here?" She asked after taking a long sip of the steaming liquid.

"I carried you." Jake replied with a shrug of his shoulders. "You had a lot of people worried when you vanished like that. Why didn't you tell anyone where you were going?"

The Quilette woman rolled her eyes. "Why do I have to report my every move? It's not like I ask where you are going to be every second of the day. Plus, it is not as if I intended to wander off and stay out all night long. I was actually getting read for bed when I found the present I had gotten Seth months ago in my bottom drawer. I just, I needed to give it to him even if he isn't here to get it. I was going to drop it off and then go home, but when I got there I realized if I left Seth would be alone on his birthday and I didn't want him to be alone."

Her alpha sighed before sitting down next to her. "Well next time you need to tell someone alright? I was worried about you Leah; I thought you may have done something stupid and you really can't blame me for thinking that way with everything that has happened lately. If it had been me in your shoes I am not sure I could hold it together like you have recently. You really are strong Leah, Seth and your father would be proud."

"Uhh thanks." She did her best to hide how much his comment had affected her. "I take it mom is flipping out so if you don't mind I think I am going to hide out here for a while and if you do mind, well you are just going to have to deal with it."

"Yes Mam!" He replied with a mock solute before turning serious. "What would you say if I asked you to leave for a while with me?"

Leah twisted her head around in order to get a better look at the alpha wolf. "First I think I would ask where the real Jake is and then I would ask where you want to run to?"

"Does it matter where we are running to?" He countered with a raised eyebrow. "You are always saying how you want to get out of this place for a while and now you don't really have to worry about- well it seems a good a time as any and as it turns out, I have some free time and no definite plans. what you say? We could just leave for a while not worrying about anything. We can leave tomorrow or even today if you want. We can go in to wolf form and just run wherever the wind takes us."

Leah couldn't deny she was tempted. "What about your father Jake?"

"Bekah is coming home for a while and I already cleared it with dad." Jacob told her as he actually started to get excited by the idea. "He thinks it would be good for both of us to get away for a while and I agree with him. If you are worried about money then don't be because I have some put away from odd jobs I do whenever we need the extra cash. I never told anyone this, but the truth is I have been planning to leave for a while now, but I kept stalling because I didn't want to go alone and now I won't have to if you say yes."

The only female shape shifter to ever exist thought things over for a few minutes. On one hand she really wanted to get away, but then she thought about her mother and who would watch out for her until she remembered her mother was dating Charlie Swan so she no longer needed Leah watching out for her. Perhaps getting away would be good for her. Maybe it would help her deal with everything and help her decide what she wanted to do with her future.

"It appears as if we are going to be road trip buddies." She said with a slight smile.

Jacob jumped up once he heard her words. "Really? Oh Leah this is great! I swear it is going to be good for the both of us. You won't regret this I promise."

This time it was Leah who laughed and smile brightly. 'Well you just might."
