"home, I forgot my phone and I need to tell Lily not to get out of the house because of the rogues" I said but Peter put a hand on my shoulder

"I already need to get something from the house I'll stop by yours, tell Lily, and get you your phone. Where did you put it?"

"On the counter in the kitchen thanks" he nodded and was out of the door in a second. I knew it wouldn't take long considering he was probably running at wolf speed and it was dark so no one would see him. 

I noticed Ethan was quiet through the whole conversations which was unlike him.

"What's wrong?" I asked him, he had been my best friend for a long time. We practically grew up together.

"nothing just thinking" he admitted and then forced a smile.

"Um Keith" Peter came in the room with my phone in one hand and a piece of paper in the other "We have a problem"

Immediately all of us were on high alert, our thoughts instantly going to the rogues.

"Not that kind of problem" he said "It's your sister" My heart dropped, was she okay? I noticed Ethan was at my side.

"What's wrong?" he asked worry clear on his face which confused me a bit.

"Read this" he shoved a paper in front of me and I noticed Lily's handwriting almost instantly, I read it out loud

"It says 'Leaving for good. I can tell when I'm not wanted. Don't worry, none of you will ever see my face again. And rest assured that means I'm leaving the pack as well. Bye! Lily.'"

I lowered the paper and looked at the guys. They were all shocked as I was especially Ethan.

"No way she left the pack" Alan said "She can't just leave--just like that" 

Lily, sis can you hear me? I said using the mind link, and I could hear the others call to her too.

"She really left" I said as it finally hit me "My sister's gone" I had to sit down

"It's okay calm down" I heard Alan say but it wasn't to me I looked up and saw Ethan shaking and I knew he had to be extremely pissed.

"Her phone" i suddenly jumped up and took my phone from Peter and dialed her number, she answered after a few rings.

"hello" she said, I put it on speaker so the guys could hear

"Lily where the hell are you?" I asked angrily. She sighed

"That's non of your business I explained everything I needed to explain in the note. you shouldn't have called"

"What the hell do you mean? Lily come back!"

"no"

"NOW" I yelled

"NO" She yelled and I shut up, Lily never yelled even when people yelled at her she was always calm "I AM TIRED OF THIS" I looked at the guys to see them just as shocked as I was. I heard her taking a deep breath "i'm tired of this" she whispered "Why should I go back to a pack that hates me and doesn't want me there? To people who don't care about me.

"I've stayed with you guys for so long and never answered you when you yelled or made fun of me. I stayed because I thought that maybe you guys care deep down. No matter what happened, I always thought you were family and made excuses for you. All of you. Because you were my pack and packs have each others backs. But today I realized that even though I would do anything for you guys, you wouldn't do the same. I'm just a waste of air for you guys." 

"Lily I--"

"No don't say anything Keith. I'm throwing away my phone so don't bother calling. And tell the others that I said I love you all. Even though you don't. You were my family."

"Lily please"

"Bye Keith" and just like that the line went dead and everyone was silent. My vision was blurry as tears came down my cheek. All the guys just stared at the phone in disbelief with guilt written on their faces. Ethan was on the ground with his head in his hands whispering 'no' over and over again.

"Since when do you care about Lily?" I asked angrily "you're the one that gave her hell about everything. All of you did" I yelled

Ethan's eyes were pitch black now "Shut up your no better." he stood up and walked towards me.

"It's all your fault she left after the humiliation in the parking lot of the school" I screamed

"Well I never saw you helping her" He growled and I didn't answer as a thousand memories came back to me.

"It's all of us" I said "We treated her like shit. It's all of our fault" I looked at the guys and saw their guilty expressions. I never intended to hurt Lily but I just got carried away. Trying to be popular. 

That night we had a pack meeting about the rogues that were sighted near our territory and i couldn't help but glance at the empty seat where Lily used to sit. I saw everyone glance at it, especially Ethan who seemed angrier by the second. I started thinking that maybe Lily didn't lie, but I shook the thought away because Ethan would never reject his mate, even for popularity. No one would do that

I just glared the whole meeting and didn't say a word, eventually Alan came up to me.

"Come on calm down" he said sadly "We've all been jerks when she comes back we'll just be nicer to her" I looked at him with a 'seriously?' look

"SHE'S NOT COMING BACK" I yelled and the whole room heard. "I'm outta here" I got up and went to my car.
