Chpater 149 Maybe I was thinking to much into it? My eyes were red and stingy, I had been working on my paper for over an hour and still had nothing solid. I had done the research I needed and scribbled a good few points down. Yet I didn't know where to properly start. 'This assignment is harder than I thought. I sent the text to Abby hoping she was having better luck.
'Sbtw Mr Gallagher expects the assignments by next Friday. Thought I'd let you know. He's beca right d**k' I don't know how many tI read her message. That was only a week away and if it wasn't for Abby tellingI would have failed.
'Thanks for lettingknow. Hopefully back soon' I wonder why he changed the date? Hearing the knock at my front door I set my laptop aside and got up to answer it.
"Why's the door locked Leah?". Carter barged pastinto the living room.
"Because I'm here myself". I frowned closing the door back over. What was wrong with him? "Where's your mom?".
"They went back to the hospital. They've really putin a shit position Leah and I don't know what to do". He ran a hand through his hair.
"What do you want to do?". I took the seat beside him.
"They're right in what they're saying. I'm a beta, I'll struggle to take orders from someone other than Jake. Alanna doesn't want to leave, I know she wants to stay with her family". "But you're her family too".
"If I don't go back with them I'll be kicked out for good".
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Surely there's another way around it". It wasn't fair what they were asking him to do. I knew he wanted to stay here.
"I shouldn't even care I mean Jake acceptedinto this pack with open arms. But unless my mom comes here to visit I won't see them again". "Do you want to go back?". I asked.
"I like this pack better". He grinned. "But I'm only here because of Alanna".
"But uncle Zac is beta surely he has a say in what happens?".
"He's not only beta he's my Alpha's best friend. The only one that can releaseis him and my dads wantshso that'll never happen".
"Surely for the sake of your mate he'll let you stay here?". It shouldn't be a rule that he has to go home. They should be happy he found her. "You would think that". He sighed.
"Then you have to make a decision and make sure it's the right one". There was another knock on the front door. "Go get showered because you stink". I made a face as I pulled the front door open. "Is he here?". Alanna pulled her bottom lip between her teeth.
"Cin". I moved to let her pass.
"Hey". Carter was still sat on the couch.
"I'll leave you to it". I picked my laptop up and made my way upstairs.
Jake would be here soon so I decided to have a shower and pack a bag for tonight. Soon I would be packing everything I own and moving it out.
His hwould becmine.
Pulling on a fresh pair of pjs I grabbed my phone sitting on my window seat. In the short tthat I've been here my life has been all planned out.
I can't go away to university unless it's university here. I have to move out of my house and into a new hwith him. I'm basically being married off without the ring.
But deep down I want it. I want it all. He has becthe one thing I didn't know I needed. I mean we argue most days, disagree on almost everything but I know now I couldn't live without him. Even the thought madesick to my stomach.
My phone vibrated in my hand but it wasn't a text. Someone was trying to connect withthrough Facebook messenger.
'I ain't here to cause trouble beautiful. I got a little carried away this morning sorry about that. Any chance we could grab a coffee tomorrow?' Rocco! Absolutely not! Instead of replying I deleted the message. How could I be sure he wasn't being serious about it? He's lucky telling Jake would causemore hassle than him.
"Leah?". She knocked on my door before entering. "Can we go grab a drink please?". I couldn't tell if she had been crying or not.
"A drink?".
"I know a little bar down town. Please I could really use it".
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI was so confused.
"Jake's not coming so we may as well. Can I borrow something to wear?". She was already looking through my closet.
"What's going on?". I wasn't really in the mood to go out drinking. We were going out tomorrow.
"I just need a drink".
"Where's Carter?".
"Jake summoned him and he ran".
She rolled her eyes as she pulled out a pair of my jeans! "You should put these on". She threw them onto the bed. "Did you have a fight?". I really couldn't be bothered going out. I had hardly slept.
"I just need a drink. I'll go by myself".
"No". I sighed. "Give5 minutes". I took the jeans and disappeared into the bathroom. I I was she was going out and neither was she. Running the cold tap neither I dialled his number putting the phone to my ear. "I'm busy Leah, I'll speak to you later"... The line went dead. He hung up on me.
My mouth fell open. He didn't even givea chance to speak. Glaring at my phone I pulled open the bathroom door and stormed back into my room. Looks like we were going out after all.
