Chpater 35 Switching off my alarm I sat up. I had already decided I wasn't going into school today. My hand was throbbing and I felt sick. Hearing my phone ping from under my pillow I remember last night. I had sent him a message.
'What for princess?' 'Coffee??' I could hear my gran coming up the stairs. I could only imagine what she was going to say when I told her I wasn't going in today. She didn't likemissing out on anything that could effect my education. "Leah honey are you awake?". She asked knocking slighting on my door.
"Gran you don't need to knock". I sighed.
"I brought coffee". She grinned taking a seat on the edge of my bed. "You feeling any better?". Taking my coffee from her I inhaled deeply.

"My hands throbbing and I feel sick". I wasn't sure if she was going to believeor not.
"Leah". She was givingthe look. The look of all looks that toldI better get my a*s into gear and get moving.
"Can I please just take today off and I'll go back tomorrow?".
"I don't want you to miss any school work honey. It's bad enough you can't write anything down but at least if you're there you can listen". She sighed.
"Please gran". I begged. "What if I ask Alanna to pick up my work, then I'm not missing anything?".
"Okay fine but you're back tomorrow. I'll go phone the school and let them know. Get yourself ready and cdown for breakfast".
Lifting my phone I sent Alanna a text. Hopefully she would be in school today but if she wasn't I could always ask Ryan.
'Hey could you pick up swork fortoday? Not going in not really feeling it' Pushing my covers off I went about getting showered and ready.
"Pancakes Leah?".

"Leah honey, pancakes?". She asked again. "Sorry just one please". I wasn't feeling hungry, wasn't really in the mood for anything.
"Are you okay?". She frowned. "I'm worried about you sweetheart. After last night I'm worried I made the wrong decision".
I didn't want her to worry about me. It may not feel like hjust now but it will. She sacrificed so much forto have the best life.
"I'm okay I promise. Are they coming to fit the rest of the kitchen today?". I asked. "I really like the way it's coming along".
"No honey I asked them to leave today because you're not feeling good. They'll cback tomorrow horrow and hopefully it'll be finished by Friday: Is Alanna going to bring swork hfor you?". "I've asked her but she hasn't messagedback but I'm sure she will. Are you going out today?". I asked as she passeda plate.
Pancakes with Nutella and strawberries. I used to love eating this out on our porch back home. ut Looking out into the ocean with the sun beating down.
"I'm going to pick up sseeds for the garden and then I've got my book club at 1 but I won't be out all day.
No What do you fancy for tea tonight?". "I'm easy you decide". I smiled just as my phone pinged. 'Yes of course I will! I'll drop it of when I get home. Are you okay? And btw did you say something to Jake?' "Pizza?".
