GoodReadChpater 180 He hadn't posted anything in weeks.
Curiosity got the better ofand I clicked on his photos. As I was scrolling my heart tightened as I noticed he had a picture ofin there.
It was the night he tookto the beach shack for the very first time. I was sat with a big goofy grin on my face holding a burger. Reading the caption a lump appeared in the back of my throat.
Lucky! Oh god here we go again with the tears.
"Did you manage to get a hold of the girls?". My gran asked as she took her seat.
Masking my tears with a smile I locked my phone placing it to the side. "Yeah Alanna is coming over for 7". "Sgirl twill do you the world of good".
Reign brought over our drinks letting us know our food wouldn't be long.
"Have you decided what you're going to do after you finish school?".
The Yale question again.
A month ago I was so set on going. I accepted my offer out of rage and now, now I wasn't so sure. I kept changing my mind.
"No idea". I took a sip of my coke. "I accepted my offer but now I'm not so sure I want to go".
"Because of Jake?". She asked as Reign placed our food on the table.
"Can I get you anything else?". She smiled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No thanks honey".
"Yes because of Jake". I sighed. "But if he doesn't cback-...".
"He'll be back truston that one".
"How can you be so sure?". I took the top off my burger and started eating my pickles. "It's been a month already and I've heard nothing". "Just trustokay?".
"Fine".
"I bet if you were to reach out he would cback in a heartbeat".
"I'm not doing that". I wanted too, had wrote the message out so many tbut I couldn't bring myself to send it.
Again with the stubbornness.
"Stubborn just like your mom was". She smiled. "I hate to see you unhappy Leah".
"Gran I'm fine". I smiled.
"Okay if you say so".
My gran packed an overnight bag and left for George's as soon as we got home. She leftsmoney for pizza and snacks for the girls coming over.
I showered and changed into clean pjs. A cute set I had bought before I chere. Tying my hair into a messing bun I put on my glasses and headed downstairs.
Alanna had texted saying she wouldn't be long. She was out picking up sgoodies for tonight. If I knew her like I thought I did I knew she was out getting booze.
Not really the girls night I had planned but right now I would take it. It had been so long since we all got together. The door was unlocked, I was currently sitting on the couch music playing on the tv and my head buried in my phone.
Again I checked Facebook clicking on his nand scrolling. I wanted to post something. I wanted to see if I could get his attention, anything. But I wasn't even sure if he was checking it. Scrolling until I found the picture he posted ofmy heart fluttered. Lucky. Was he lucky? Sighing I closed theand clicked on my camera. "What am I doing?". I made a face before locking my phone and setting it aside. A picture wasn't going to get his attention and if wanted to reach out he would.
"Hey girl". Alanna bounced into my living room grinning like a Cheshire Cat. "I got us a little something". She pulled a bottle of rosé and a bottle of shots from her bag. Rolling my eyes I got myself off the couch. "I'll get the glasses then".
"You got your cast off".
"I did". I grinned grabbing two glasses. "Take it it's justand you tonight?".
"For now yeah". She poured the wine into the glasses before handingone.
"For now?". I frowned.
"You didn't think we were staying in tonight did you?".
"Aren't we?".
"Girls are meeting us at the club". She winked.
"Alanna". I groaned sitting back down on the couch. "I don't think I'm in the mood for going out".
"Oh con". She sat down beside me. "When was the last twe had a night out?".
"I don't think I want to remember that night". The last twe were out I caught Jake with that girl.
"Right, sorry". She winced. "Please cout. Sdrinks, sdancing and maybe take your mind off everything for a bit".
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow could I argue with that? "Fine". I smiled.
"Yesss". She grinned. "Let's do sshots to get us in the mood".
And we did. We did several shots, so much so I was already starting to feel tipsy.
"Chelpfind something to wear".
"I brought you something". She smirked as she pulled it from her bag. "I don't have the boobs for it".
Catching it as she threw it I held it against my body. "Where's the rest of it?". I asked.
"It ties at the back".
"Where is the back?". I frowned.
Rolling her eyes she opened my closet rummaging through it. "Wear it with these" She threw my ripped jeans at me. "And your silver heels". "No jacket?". "And no jacket". She winked.
"Okay". I grinned.
I felt incredible. The best I had felt in weeks. Finishing off my eyes lashes | flicked my hair over one shoulder. ve "You good?". She asked passingmy glass.
"I'm good". I smiled. Finishing the wine in my glass I grabbed my clutch bag, "You ready?". I asked just as I En: caught the flash. "Memories". She winked.
"If you're uploading it caption it lucky".
