Throwing on some sweats and a hoodie I pulled my hair into a messy bun and put my sses on. I felt rxed already. Heading downstairs I could hear the chatter from the living room. "Hey honey how was your day?". My gran was sat on the couch with a ss of wine, George beside her his arm around her shoulder.


    "It was okay". I shrugged. "I''m just d it''s the weekend". Heading to the kitchen I opened the fridge my eyes falling on the cookies. Taking one I grabbed a bottle of coke. I wasn''t hungry for food but I always had room for snacking. "We''re going out for dinner around 7 do you want to join us?". She asked.


    "No I''m okay I''m going to order some takeout, eat junk food and watch a few movies". That was my night sorted and I couldn''t wait to do nothing. Ryan hadn''t messaged me yet but I''m guessing practice wasn''t over. "First week is over sweetheart. You survived". She smiled. "Do you need me to leave money?".


    "Yes please. I''m going to head upstairs, it was nice to see you again George". Closing my bedroom door I grabbed the Cheetos from inside my drawer and fell onto my bed.


    I felt good, happy even.


    I had been watching greys anatomy for a good hour or so. I hadughed and ugly cried all within that time. Searching for Ryan''s number I hit call putting it on loud speaker. "I''m done in". He groaned. "Coach well ripped me a new one tonight".


    "A hot bath will sort you right out". Iughed. "Studying can wait". I could always ask Jake to help me.


    "Shit shorty I totally forgot. I cane over now if you want?".


    "Don''t be daft you sound like you need your bed and I wasn''t phoning for that".


    "Phoning cause you miss me". Heughed. "I have that effect on most girls".


    "I talked to Abby today".


    "You did, what did she say?".


    "She''s a sweet girl Ryan, she''s so down to earth".


    "And?". He sounded eager, excited even.


    "I got you her number and I gave her yours".


    "You didn''t".


    "I did listen I''ve got another calling through I''ll send you her number okay. Bye". Hanging up I missed nna''s call by seconds. If it''s important she''ll call me back. "Leah?". My gran called from the bottom of the stairs. "Are you sure you don''t want toe?".


    "No gran I''m okay but thanks for asking". I liked that she was involving me but I didn''t want to intrude her time with George.


    "Do you need me to bring you anything in?".


    "Hot Cheetos".


    "You and they bloody chips". I heard her mutter. As I heard the door close and her car start I jumped out of bed and went to lock it. She would be gone for at least a few hours which meant I had the house to myself. Connecting my earphones to my phone I put a random ylist on Spotify and went to run my bath. Music was a good escape, some lyrics more rtable than others. Trey Songz - love faces was ring in my ears. Getting my bath bomb and my pjs I hung the towel on the radiator so it would be warm for me finishing. Some paragraphs are iplete if you are not reading this novel on NovelDrama.Org.

Checking the temperature of the water I let it run a little while longer before adding some cold into it.


    I couldn''t get over how much better I was feeling. I was tucked up in bed watching tv but wasn''t really paying attention. I was scrolling through Facebook, nna had been posting updates of them at the beach. Not going to lie it did look like they were having a great time.


    It was 9 o''clock on a Friday night and I was in bed already. What the hell was I doing. I should be out having fun with my friends. But then I would have to get ready and I was tozy for that. I was having a internal battle with myself when my phone pinged. ''You''re missing out! Pleasee I''ll even walk back and meet you half way. Ax''ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    She had attached a photo of her and Lacey to the message but it wasn''t them that I was looking at. Jake was in the background a beer in hand, he was smiling.


    ''Only if you meet me half way. Just getting ready''


    I was excited, I wanted to see him, I wanted to be around him. Getting out of bed I flicked my light on. Now I had to find something to wear. Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip I raked through my closet. Was it bad that I wanted to look good, I wanted him to think I looked good. Taking out my long chunky cardigan I searched for my cropped ck top and ripped skinned jeans. That would do and I''d still be warm. After changing into them I took out my ck boots with the chunky heel.


    Fluffing out my hair I clocked my bobble hat and scarf on the end of my bedpost. Perfect. Pulling it onto my head I slipped my feet into my boots and grabbed my bag. I was good to go. Quickly giving myself a once over in my mirror I headed downstairs. Grabbing my keys I locked the door behind me.


    Reading thest text nna sent the butterflies began in the pit of my stomach.


    Jakesing to get you. Ax''
