"You still want to cover?".
"Maybe later. Can you dropoff hplease?".
"Okay what's wrong?". He turned into our street slowing down as he neared my house.
"Nothings wrong I just want to shower and change my clothes. And my gran will be hsoon so it's best I'm here when she arrives".
"Can I see you later?".
"I have to study".
"Okay cut the bullshit Leah. What the f***s going on?". He drove up my driveway stopping behind my car. "My exams start this week. It's not bullshit". He knew this was my last week, my most important week. "Then I guess I'll see you when you can fitin".
Rolling my eyes I unclipped my seatbelt. "I'll give you a text later".

I didn't lie to him. I was sat in my room with my laptop and every book I had open on my bed. My gran had called early. She was staying with George over the weekend but assuredshe would be back Monday. Great isn't it. My gran had a better love life than me. Reading over my chemistry notes I pushed my book off the bed until it hit the floor.
I was stumped. I couldn't seem to take anything in. I knew it but every tI read a question I couldn't think of the answer.
The nerves were eating away at me. This was the exam I feared the most. Grabbing my phone I went onto my contacts tapping Alanna's name. Hitting the FaceTbutton I hoped she answered.
I needed to clear my brain and take 5 minutes.
"Hey girl".
"Where are you?". I frowned. I didn't recognise her surroundings.
"In the forest". She rolled her eyes. "I swear if we weren't related I'd have strung him up by now".
She had lost me.
"He has everyone running these bloody woods. I thought he had changed. Wishful thinking". She sighed. "Why?". "Because he's an asshole". She laughed. "Seriously though, are you two okay?".
Chewing my bottom lip I made a face. "I'm annoyed at him okay".
"I knew it". She grinned. "Every tyou two argue he comes down on us like a ton of bricks. Care to share?". "No". She would just find it silly. I for one didn't and I had every right to be annoyed with him.
"We're out here all night aren't we?".
"That's up to your brother not me".
She groaned before wiping her forehead. "If you love me, if you love any of us you'll text him and sort this shit out. Great it's started to rain".
"Deja Vu".
"Eh?".
"Remember the last tI texted him trying to get you out of morning runs?". I asked. "He left the next day". "Fine". She sighed. "Leave your best friend out in the rain in the freezing cold".
"Don't you dare try and makefeel bad Alanna".
"Kidding baby". She laughed. "He's coming so I have to go"...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Alanna". I heard him growl.
"Bye love you".
A laugh fell from my lips. It was true what she said. He worked them to the bone when he was pissed off. Phone still in hand I tapped his nbringing it to my ear. It rang a few times before going to voicemail. Just as I suspected. Ending the call I fell back against my headboard.
I wasn't letting us fall back into old habits. This twas going to be different. I should have told him how he madefeel, we could have talked it out.
I would not go back to the way we used to be.
Changing out of my pjs I pulled on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. Wrapping my hair up into a bun I grabbed my jacket and my phone before heading downstairs.
The were in the forest which I'm assuming was behind the training ground. Grabbing my car keys I left the house hurrying to my car.
Alanna wasn't wrong when she said it had started to rain. Clipping mym seatbelt in placel started my engine reversing out my drive and headed for the training ground. My nerves were shattered. I couldn't stop thinking about the last tI drove here. How he acted, how he madefeel.
But things were different this time, he was different. He wasn't going to tellto leave We were in this together. What I liked about the training ground was it wasn't that far from home. His truck was parked, being the only car outside the gate. I just hoped the gate wasn't locked. Parking next to him I geared myself up before heading inside.
