Chapter 313
“You need to tell him how you feel p>
“I can’t”. She shook her head. “I’m going to suck it up and support him. I’m going to do what I need to do p>
“You’ll be miserable p>
“Maybe”. She shrugged. “But at least he’ll have his title back p>
She couldn’t do all this just for Carter. She had to want it as much as he does, and she doesn’t. She doesn’t want to leave her home her family which is understandable. But they wouldn’t last if she wasn’t honest with him.
“You need to tell him how you feel. He might surprise you and tell you he doesn’t want to go”. That was my wishful thinking.
“Yeah right”. She made a face. “If I bring it up it’ll cause an argument and that’s the last thing I want. He’s already in a bad enough mood as it is p>
“Let me talk to him. I won’t mention a thing but let me see where his heads at p>
“See where who’s heads at?”. Jake asked.
“I swear I’m putting a bell around your neck”. Sometimes I could hear him and sense him and other times I couldn’t.
“Who are you two talking about p>
“I’m going to head home. Thanks for the tea, Leah p>
“Carter is it, Carter?”. He asked. “Let me guess you don’t want to leave p>
“Jake”. I warned.
“You hit the nail on the head bro p>
“Then don’t leave”. He shrugged.
“What?”. I frowned.
“She doesn’t want to go so she doesn’t have to. Their relationship can survive long distance p>
Did he just say that?
“So, if I went to university our relationship would survive long distance?”. I asked.
“Guys”. Alanna waved her arms to get our attention. “I’m leaving with Carter I’m not staying here. I was just venting my feelings, but the place will grow on me”. “We’re not talking about us Leah p>
A laugh fell from my lips. “Right because I wouldn’t be allowed to go. You wouldn’t be able to handle it. So, what makes you think Carter will?”. Yes, I was 100 percent sticking up for my cousin. “Guys please don’t fight p>
Unfortunately, Alanna was irrelevant right now. He started something by opening his mouth and like always not thinking before speaking.
“You’re exactly right I wouldn’t be able to handle it, but neither would you and we’re not fighting, are we p>
“So, what makes you think they would be okay miles apart p>
A sigh fell from his lips. “Okay, I should have kept my mouth shut. Alanna talk to Carter instead of bringing your problems over here. I’m going to shower”. Could I blame that on my hormones this early?
