After finishing my dinner I placed my plate on my beside drawer. I could still hear the music and it was probably going to be like that for the majority of the night.
There was always something going on in his house.
..
I couldn’t sleep.
The music was starting to get on my nerves.
Throwing my covers off I grabbed a jumper and pulled it over my head. Instantly regretting it when all I could smell was him.
Getting out of bed I quietly made my way downstairs trying not to wake my gran. I had the fridge open staring for something that wasn’t there. I didn’t even know what I was looking for.
Boiling the kettle I took the hot chocolate from the cupboard and emptied some into a cup. It was far to late for coffee so this would have to do. Adding some milk and a few marshmallows I took a seat at the island.
My phone pinged.
‘Are you awake? Ax’
‘Yes. What’s up?’
‘Can I come over? Ax’
It was late. I had noticed the music had been turned down though.
‘It’s late Alanna’
‘I’ll only be 5mins I promise. Ax’
‘Back door’
“Why are you sitting in the dark?”. She asked her voice low. I wasn’t sitting in the dark, the lights around the island were on along with the ones under the counters.
“What’s up?”. I asked.
“Jake said you and a rough day today”.
“Did he? Jake needs to mind his own business”.
Why was I being so stupid?
“Don’t ruin what might be a good thing because of stupid little bitches. Who cares what they think and besides they don’t have a chance with him. None of them do”.
“Did he send you over here?”.
“He didn’t I came because he’s sad. I’ve never seen him like this before. He’s always the life of the party, cocky and arrogant prick but not tonight”.
I didn’t like that he was sad and I had no idea why.
“But lucky for me he’ll be an asshole tomorrow when we’re training”. She sighed her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Give him a chance Leah. You won’t regret it. Good night”.
And then she left.
I was in bed but I still couldn’t sleep. I had wrote out a message for Jake but was hesitant to send it. It wasn’t much, in fact it was only a few words. With my finger hovering over the button I finally sent it.
‘Meet me tomorrow at noon. Coffee shop’
I didn’t know if what I had done was going to be a mistake but there was only one way I was going to find out.
