GoodReadChpater 166 The car ride hwas quiet. George was droppingoff hbefore taking my gran hwith him. He was taking her away for a few days and wanted to set off early.
"Are you sure you'll be okay without me?". She asked.
She had been askingthis since we got in the car. She deserved to be treated and her and George needed stalone.
"I'll be fine and you deserve a little break after everything that's went on". She didn't need to be worrying about me.
"I should have told you about tonight".
"It's fine". We ate dinner, we all got on. Somehow I had been roped into going to Charlottes for Sunday lunch. Apparently I had too because I missed the last one. She was a hard woman to say no too. "I shouldn't have tricked you". She sighed. "But I knew Jake wouldn't be there".
"Next tjust tell me".
"I told her that in the first place. But you know what your grans like". George laughed.
"I know, I'll know for next time. It was nice of Charlotte to invite us all out".
"It was". It was nice but Jake not being there didn't sit well with me. Despite our little hiccup it was his family and he should have been there.

"Ellen". George warned.
"You're right it's none of my business". She sighed.
She got her answer when George pulled into our driveway. Jake was sat on our porch. My heart was hammering in my chest, I wanted to see him. I was excited even.
"Do you want us to stay Leah?". George asked.
"No it's okay. I'll see you when you're back". I unclipped my seatbelt and opened the door.
"I love you sweetheart".
"I love you too gran". Closing the door I waved them off as they reversed out the drive and took off down the street.
"Hi". I whispered turning to face him.
"Hi". He smirked stumbling to his feet. What I didn't see was the bottle of bourbon next to him.
He was drunk.
"Are you kidding me". I groaned.
"Look how beautiful my girl is". He whistled. "But-.. but you better have a top on under there". He glared.
"Will you shut up". I hissed looking around to make sure he didn't wake the neighbours. To be fair he could be as loud as he wanted because no one in this street would say a damn thing to him. "Can I see?". He stepped closer. "See what?".
"Your boobies". He giggled.
Giggled, like a fucking school girl.
"You're drunk". Side stepping him I walked onto my porch making sure to take the bourbon bottle with me.
"Am not". He stumbled towardsfalling over his feet and face planting the gravel. I couldn't hold it in, a laugh fell from my lips.
He was definitely drunk! "Babe". He groaned. "I-.. I-...".
Feeling the little spots of rain on my face I sighed. "Con, get up so we can get out the rain". I couldn't exactly help him. He weighed a ton and I still had a broken hand.
A groan fell from his lips as he pulled himself onto his knees. "Please forgive me". The rain drops got bigger, the wind picking up. He wasn't bothered about the rain butnot being a werewolf didn't want to catch a cold. "Con". I walked towards him only then noticing the blood on his face. "You're bleeding". I whispered.
"I can't, l-.. I need you". He held his hands out showing the blood and gravel stuck to his palms. "I miss you". "Let's get you cleaned up". I whispered.

"Jake"...
"I'm sorry I hurt you". His voice barely a whisper but I heard him.
"Then why did you?".
"Because I'm a fuck up. I ruin things that aren't broken. I ruined you".
"That's not it and you know it". He wasn't a fuck up. He had a great om family, great friends His upbringing N wasn't bad, he graduated with honours. He was using that as an excuse. "I got scared".
"Scared?". I frowned.
"Scared because you deserve better than me, you are better than me. I knew I'd f**k it up sooner or later can't wrap my head around the fact that you're actually mine". He laughed. "Me, the one night stand kinda guy, the no stings attached and I get hit with the most beautiful girl I've ever seen". "Please cinside".
"I'm sorry Leah". His voice broke, wait was he crying. The lump appeared in my throat, I never thought I'd see the day when he finally broke down.
My heart broke all over again. I could Leves.
feel the tears in my eyes. The m emotion between us on fire. Falling to my knees in front of him I grabbed his face in my hands. "We can do this". I whispered. "We can make it work". He wrapped his arms around my waist holdingtightly against him.
