Chapter 34
After finishing my dinner I placed my plate on my beside drawer. I could still hear the music and it was probably going to be like that for the majority of the night. There was always something going on in his house.
I couldn’t sleep.
The music was starting to get on my nerves.
Throwing my covers off I grabbed a jumper and pulled it over my head. Instantly regretting it when all I could smell was him.
Getting out of bed I quietly made my way downstairs trying not to wake my gran. I had the fridge open staring for something that wasn’t there. I didn’t even know what I was looking for.
Boiling the kettle I took the hot chocolate from the cupboard and emptied some into a cup. It was far to late for coffee so this would have to do. Adding some milk and a few marshmallows I took a seat at the island. My phone pinged.
‘Are you awake? Ax’
‘Yes. What’s up p>
‘Can I come over? Ax’
It was late. I had noticed the music had been turned down though.
‘It’s late Alanna’
‘I’ll only be 5mins I promise. Ax’
‘Back door’
“Why are you sitting in the dark?”. She asked her voice low. I wasn’t sitting in the dark, the lights around the island were on along with the ones under the counters. “What’s up?”. I asked.
“Jake said you and a rough day today p>
“Did he? Jake needs to mind his own business p>
“Leah”. She sighed. “What’s going on?”. Taking a seat next to me she grabbed my hand. “You know I’m here right p>
“Nothing I’m fine”. Scraping my chair back I got to my feet. “Was there anything else?”. Emptying what I had left in my cup I placed it in the sink.
“Wow I didn’t take you for a girl that cared about what other people think”. She huffed.
I bit my lip. She was right I didn’t but this somehow hit different.
“Do you know I had a girl come up to me today, snap her fucking fingers in my face and told me I better stay awake from Jake”. I snapped. “Do you know how small she made me feel?”. “What, who p>
“Every girl in this little bloody town hates me because they think something is going on with him and I. I can handle my own but I’ve done nothing wrong to be treated the way I’m being treated”. “Does Jake know what happened?”. She questioned already her phone was in her hand.
“He doesn’t need to know”. I sighed. “Look it’s late I need to get to bed p>
“He likes you Leah and I think maybe you like him too. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on. Visit to read the complete chapters for free. My brother has a good heart, and he’d treat you like his queen but you’re too scared about what other people might say and that’s causing you to miss out p>
I did like him.
Why was I being so stupid?
“Don’t ruin what might be a good thing because of stupid little bitches. Who cares what they think and besides they don’t have a chance with him. None of them do”. “Did he send you over here p>
“He didn’t I came because he’s sad. I’ve never seen him like this before. He’s always the life of the party, cocky and arrogant prick but not tonight p>
I didn’t like that he was sad and I had no idea why.
“But lucky for me he’ll be an asshole tomorrow when we’re training”. She sighed her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Give him a chance Leah. You won’t regret it. Good night”. And then she left.
I was in bed but I still couldn’t sleep. I had wrote out a message for Jake but was hesitant to send it. It wasn’t much, in fact it was only a few words. With my finger hovering over the button I finally sent it. ‘Meet me tomorrow at noon. Coffee shop’
I didn’t know if what I had done was going to be a mistake but there was only one way I was going to find out.
