Chapter 450 “Stalling”. I made a face. “Your gran makes me nervous”. There was no point in beating around the bush. “Why?”. He frowned. I shrugged. “I’ve only met her that one time. What if she suddenly doesn’t like me anymore p> A laugh fell from his lips. “Babe, she

Chapter 449 I was awake but my eyes were closed. I could hear hushed voices coming from the kitchen. Were they whispering because I was asleep? Or were they whispering because they didn’t want me to hear? I was undecided if I wanted to let them know I was indeed

Chapter 448 “Me?”. I cut her off. “What have I done p> “Oh, come on he’s had a thing for you since you first stepped into his class. You’re dating my brother; he’s never liked Jake. Put two and two together p> I wasn’t getting into this with her. She

Chapter 447 Once we were home, Jake went straight to bed, I locked the doors and pulled the curtains. Fixing myself a plate of the soup Charlotte made I parked myself in front of the TV and got comfortable. Hopefully, he would sleep for a few hours, and no one

Chapter 446 “He’s upstairs with Carl. That poor boy hasn’t woken up yet p> “Probably all the trauma and not to mention the meds the doc will have him on. Is he going to be all right p> Jake would never forgive himself if the boy never recovered. “Carl seems

Chapter 445 I was in two minds on whether to change or not. I had an hour before lunch with Jake’s mom and gran. He wasn’t back yet, and he wasn’t answering his phone. Yes, I had already tried to call Alanna and Carter, and both went straight to voicemail.

Chapter 444 I was in the kitchen making coffee when I felt the vibration of my phone from my back pocket. My gran checking to see if I was still coming over for breakfast. I sat at the table and messaged her back. I would drink this cup and then

Chapter 443 I was in bed drinking my tea the TV on in the background, but I wasn’t paying attention. I couldn’t concentrate, I wanted to know what was going on. I wanted to get dressed and head out there: But I knew it wouldn’t be the best idea. I

Chapter 442 “Everyone in my family loves you. Feeling nervous about things is natural but honestly you really have nothing to be nervous about p> I was half expecting him to say he’d come with me, but he didn’t. I wonder if Alanna would be there. “Besides Alanna will be

Chapter 441 In true Ellen fashion she huffed and puffed because I had come all the way down here. She was my gran, and I wanted to make sure she was okay. “George told you to stay home Leah p> I fought the urge to roll my eyes. If she

Chapter 440 My dad and Jake were on the couch watching the game eating Chinese food. I was fixing my plate checking my phone often to see if my gran had reached out. It was almost nine-thirty, and I still hadn’t heard from her. “Babe come sit down”. Jake spoke.

Chapter 439 I soothed my hands down my jeans as I slipped my feet into my black boots. I went for comfort tonight. Jeans, boots and my orange blazer. “You look good babe”. Jake spoke as he slipped his arm around my waist. “I feel a little nervous”. I had

Chapter 438 “Nervous about meeting your family?”. He frowned. I nodded. I had so many thoughts and feelings about the whole thing. They were my family but that didn’t mean everything was going to go smoothly. I didn’t know these people and they didn’t know me. “I guess I’m just

Chapter 437 It shouldn’t be awkward, and I shouldn’t feel awkward, but I did. I didn’t want to start the conversation and I’m not sure my dad knew what to say. I sipped at my coffee my eyes focused on the trees that surrounded the back yard. “I hear it’s

Chapter 436 We stopped by the store on the way home for groceries. Our pantry needed a refill, and we were running low on basically everything. We rarely grocery shopped together. Usually, it would just get delivered to the house. “Why don’t we do this more often?” He asked. “What

Chapter 435 The drive was short and sweet, and he hadn’t let go of my hand since we got in the truck. “Drive-thru?”. He asked. I shrugged. “Do we have time to eat inside p> “We’ve always got time babe”. He brought my hand to his lips placing a kiss

Chapter 434 I went to bed but didn’t nap. I lay staring at the ceiling with the tv on for background nose. The pain in my head had dulled, the bottle of water Jake forced me to take helped with that. Grabbing my phone from the nightstand I read the

Chapter 433 . Hand in hand we walked our way through the forest following the trail around the outskirts of our territory. It was a weird day, a little hot but chilly when the wind picked up. “I never realised how big the forest really is”. I spoke. “How do

Chapter 432 “I’m sorry”. I whispered. “I shouldn’t have said that p> “Don’t apologise sweetheart”. My gran spoke. “It’s a lot to take in and digest and it’ll take time to process but take all the time you need because I want us all to be a family again, Leah.

Chapter 431 I didn’t expect to sleep through the night. It wasn’t strange being back here, a little weird but oddly enough it felt as though I had never left. I was sleeping in my old room, in my old bed with my old sheets. I grabbed my phone from
