Chapter 17- Sometimes Running is the Best Option

Amber's POV

I ran. I ran through the bushes, through the thorns, through the splashing mud without a care. I needed away, and this time for good. I stopped and hadn't realized that I was standing right in front of the familiar restaurant that I had seen the first time I came here. It was also the same day I met Scott. See, there he is again, he seems to squirm his way into every thought and it is getting tiring. I walk inside and am met with the same grey mop of hair that only belonged to one person.

"Amber!" Mary shouted causing everyone's heads to lift in my direction. I slightly blushed for what felt like the 100th time since I have been here.

"Hey Mary" I said quietly as she met me at the door. "I just wanted to say goodbye"

"Wha- what for?" She asked flustered.

"For... Personal reasons" I tried to tell her with my eyes that I didn't want to explain, that it was a touchy subject. She seemed to understand as she pulled me into a heart-warming hug. "Can you give Scott a letter?" I asked as I grabbed a nearby pen and paper. Mary shook her head once, not saying anything as I wrote.

"I still have your backpack if you would like it before you leave?" She asked as she took the letter and stuffed it into her pocket. I don't know if it was because of the dramatic situation we were in or if it was because of the overload of emotions from my whole visit that made a tear fall down my cheek. She was the closest thing I had to love.

Except for Scott

I ignored my wolf. I knew this was going to become normal once I left so I might as well get used to it now. I watched with ready eyes as she disappeared behind a counter before pulling out my backpack.

"Thank you, for everything. Even when you didn't have to" I said my eyes showing the last bit of emotion that I had left in me. She nodded once before pulling me into another hug. I squeezed her frail body once more before turning on my heels and walking towards the door. I waved once before fully walking out.

I was going to start a new life, one with no emotions. A new life with no mate. I was going to live normal and forget about this.

A new life. That sounds nice.

So I did the one thing that has gotten me out of every other situation, a solution I have used multiple times.

You guessed it,

I ran.
