Monica POV We do what we can to help the pack before we leave. I don't want to leave them, not when they're like this but Derek is right. We need to make sure the rogue b.astards aren't waiting to try something so that they can get me once again. We don't have a chance to see Tom before we leave, we waited as long as Derek would let us, but he still hadn't come back. We hopped in the car and took off once everything had been relatively settled and Matt assured us Dean would be there soon. We're about halfway home when we meet the warriors Derek sent for. He gets out of the car to speak to them for a moment but I don't. I stay put because I have no idea how to get out of the car right now and talk to other people, not when the weight of this guilt threatens to crush me. I feel a tear slide
