*Rose's Point of view*

I let him hold me, even though I was in  alot of pain and the slightest movement  would hurt my body.

Tears pooled in my eyes as I realized how stupid I was.

He didn't mark Stacey.

The mark was fake.

I was so stupid to think it was real.

And to think that I cried over something that stupid? I will never be so stupid like that again.

But she wasn't lying completely. They used to be in love when they were children.

All three of us were best friends, Stacey and Josh the same age. Stacey didn't like me much, but she liked Josh a lot. So to make him happy, we acted like we liked each other. He had a crush on her for years then, since he was six, but on his twelfth birthday, he didn't hang out as much with her and with me instead. Stacey resented me and would threaten me to stay away from him, but I never listened.

I should've. Seeing as how she's now a Luna, she's very powerful.

But I'm more powerful.

And I had the perfect way to make them pay.

"Don't leave again. Please don't." Josh begged as he held me in his arms gently.

"I wont leave again." I whispered, hoping that I meant my words.

I did mean them though. I knew that much.

But would I ever get mad and leave again? Only time will show.

Josh, finally realizing I was in pain, pulled away from me and held me at arms length and I breathed deeply, grateful for the air in my lungs.

We were being pulled away from each other suddenly, I gasped as Josh's father gripped me roughly, pulling me up to the pack house, multiple people held Josh back as he thrashed.

I struggled as I saw where we were going.

To the basement.

Where the cells were.

They were keeping us apart.

And I didn't like it one bit.
