I hope you don’t mind me emailing you. I have changed my mind. I am going to accept the offer to Yale. Would really appreciate any advice you have.
Thanks,
Leah 🙂
Hitting send I placed my laptop on the floor. Laying my head against the window I watched the rain fall, the thunder ripping through the sky.
I wanted to be angry, I wanted to scream and throw things but the sadness won. More tears fell, more sobs came. He had well and truly broke me. Whatever his reason for saying what he did I would never forgive him.
Jake Taylor no longer existed to me.
….
I don’t know how long I sat there. My bum numb, my legs numb, my eyes red and sore. But I was done, no more tears. No more tears over a sad excuse for a man.
Changing into clean pjs I grabbed my housecoat slipping it on. Grabbing his hoodie from my closet I made my way downstairs and straight into the kitchen.
He meant nothing to me anymore.
Taking the scissors from the drawer I started cutting until there was nothing left. I opened the back door and threw what was once his hoodie outside.
“Leah”…
Jack.
“I’m not interested in anything you have to say”. I glared before slamming the door shut and locking it.
I wanted nothing to do with any of them. Making sure all my doors were locked I grabbed my bag from the stairs and dug out my phone.
4 missed calls from an unknown number.
It started vibrating in my hand. Again an unknown number on my screen. I ignored it but whoever it was wasn’t giving up.
So I answered it.
“I’m not interested in what you have to say so stop fucking calling me. I hate you, I fucking-….”.
“Miss Wilson are you okay?”.
Oh shit.
Why was Mr Gallagher calling me?
“Leah are you there?”. I could hear the concern in his voice.
“That wasn’t meant for you”. I sighed.
“I got your email. Are you sure that’s what you want to do?”.
I was still hesitant, still thinking he didn’t mean what he said but he did because if he didn’t he wouldn’t have said it.
“Yes”.
“I’m not convinced that you’re okay Miss Wilson”.
I ordered a pizza, put my laptop away and grabbed my cover from upstairs. Setting up the couch like a bed I picked a film from Netflix. I knew I wouldn’t sleep tonight after the nap I just had.
Grabbing the coke from the fridge I heard the knock on the front door. I couldn’t wait to eat my feelings in pizza and chicken strips. Taking some money from under the clock I unlocked my door pulling it open.
I didn’t expect to see Jack there holding my pizza.
“It’s been paid for”.
“I’m not so hungry anymore”. As I went to shut the door he stuck his foot out.
“Can I come in?”. He asked.
“No”. I wasn’t interested in what he had to say. I was done, Jake had said his peace, there wasn’t anything more to it.
“I just want to make sure you’re okay”. He handed me my pizza. “Jake-…”.
“Don’t”. I took my pizza placing it on the stairs. “Don’t come over here and defend him Jack”.
“That’s not why I’m here Leah. Everyone’s worried about you”.
“So they sent you?”. I frowned.
“A lot of people care about you”.
A laugh fell from my lips. “No they care about the pack. A pack with no Luna, an Alpha with no Luna oh no”. I rolled my eyes. “Goodbye Jack”. I closed the door making sure to lock it.
