NovelEnglishChpater 237 I was worried about Lana. I hadn't seen her since our fight and I didn't want to leave if she was still here. I would never forgive myself if something happened to her.
"Call Jake and tell him to cpick us up". Alanna slipped her arm through mine.
"Lana and I had a fight".
"What?".
"I'll meet you outside". Lacey said as she walked away in front of us.
"Something's going on with her but she wouldn't tell me". I held onto her arm so I could take my shoes off.
"Fight about what?". She asked as we found seats in the lobby.
"She said shorrible things and she kept calling Jake a whore". I frowned. "Said I was a doormat oh and she calleddumb".
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Bitch". She huffed. "What else did she say?".
"Once a cheat always a cheat. Lana wouldn't say something like that if she didn't have anything to back it up". "You think he's cheating on you?".
"No". I sighed. "But why would she say something like that?".
Jake and I were better than ever and for once I was trusting my own gut and not the words of someone else. "Jealousy?".
"What, no". I made a face. "Why would she be jealous of me?". My life wasn't exactly sunshine and flowers. A laugh fell from her lips. "You're so humble you don't see it. Always seeing the good and nothing else". "I'm not following".
"She's flat out jealous and I bet she always has been".
"No I don't think it's that". It couldn't be. There's no way in hell. Lana was too cool to be jealous of anyone. She led her own path, made her own choices. She loved life and didn't poke her nose in anyone else's. "Maybe tonight you seen her for what she really is".
"That doesn't make sense. We have been friends for so long I think I would have noticed. She's not a bad person".
"Maybe she's good at hiding it".
"I'm not playing the guessing game". I lifted my shoes and got to my feet. "But I'm also not going huntil I know she's safe".
I didn't believe what Alanna was saying. It wasn't true, it couldn't be.
A sigh fell from her lips as she matched my movements. "You're to nice for your own good at times".
"I guess it's in my nature". I shrugged.
"She's not here now can we please go home?". Lacey groaned.
We searched everywhere possible. I called her so many times but her phone went straight to voicemail. "Yeah we can go home".
"Now do you want to call Jake and tell him what's going on?". Alanna asked.
I had put it off before but I guess I had no choice. "What if she's with Pete and I'm just thinking the worst?".
"He still needs to know, Pete needs to know in case she isn't".
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Call him". I sighed.
Jake took no tin getting here. He wrappedup in his arms kissing the top of my head.
"You're freezing".
I shrugged. "Can you takehplease?".
"She's okay Leah, she's with Pete and she's safe".
Again I shrugged. She was horrible totonight for no reason. After m everything that we had been through together, I made her my family and for what? For her to finally tellhow she feels? I got inside his truck and clipped my seatbelt into place. I couldn't wait for this dreaded night to be over.
"Do you want to talk about it?". He asked starting the engine and heading for home.
I adverted my gaze leaning my head against the window. I didn't want to I talk about it ever. Her words hurt. "I want to go to bed". "Okay baby".
The rest of the journey was quiet and I was glad he didn't push forto tell him what happened. I was ears if was spared that I'd burst into tears if I spoke about it. What hurt most was realising that she didn't knowat all. I wasn't perfect and I definitely wasn't a princess. One more thing, I didn't crave attention.
