~* Leigh's POV*~

It was another late night with my journal as I sat on the windowsill once again. Except, rather than it being because of my thoughts, it was because of my dreams.

I had dreamt of her again.

My mother.

I hated these dreams, it was always the same. 

It was like I was waking up in the morning, the light shinning through my blinds. And there she would be sitting right there. At the foot of my bed. Looking beautiful as always, her long raven hair tied in a braid down her back, her Green eyes filled with love as she would look at me.

But when she would talk, I couldn't hear her. 

It was like she was always trying to tell me something. Like she was coming to me in the dream. But my hearing had became void. Not understanding a word she uttered.

I shook my head as the tears rolled down my face. Almost as if I was trying to shake her image out of my mind.

My father, had left when Isabella was born.  

I was only thirteen then, and my mom had finally gone back to work at the Hospital after her maternity leave. 

I walked downstairs hoping to peak in at Isa in our parents room without waking her. But when I opened the door, the room was empty, my father no where in site.

There were clothes strewn everywhere, the drawers from the dresser scattered about the floor. A simple note laid on the bed. Written in my fathers sloppy script.

Im sorry.

I'm sorry can mean alot of things, it can mean you've realized your wrong, it can stand for regret and it can stand for empathy, but one thing it can not stand for, is Goodbye.

And that day, that note, that simple Im sorry is what started everything.

The sun had began to rise as I finally lifted my eyes from the pages I had written. The bright colors mixing the the darkness that was left in the sky.

My thoughts wandered to Harry suddenly, wondering if he too was awake with no sleep. My back tingling with chills at the thought of him.

It was already unbearable, to try and make friends after everything.

But for some reason, the thought of Harry made my heart sink. Because there was more than friendship possible there. And with that, comes the possibility of one word.

Love.

And what inevitably, and heartbreakingly, came with that was a simple phrase.

Im sorry.

Both of those things, were the two most painful things I had experienced in the past 6 years. And I had no interest of feeling them again.

Unless perhaps, if fate says other wise.
