GoodReadChpater 55 I couldn't stop smiling. The way he madefeel when I was around him was magical. It was something I had never felt before with anyone not even Tommy. My smile faded when I caught sight of the photo of us. I knew it was tto take it down. I felt guilt, I had spent almost 2 years of my life with Tommy and the more tI spent with Jake the more Tommy was forgotten about.
I couldn't help how I felt. Jake was different, I knew that from the moment I met him. We connected instantly regardless of how I felt I couldn't stop my feelings from blossoming.
"Leah, sweetheart can you cdown here for a second". My gran called from the bottom of the stairs.
Forgetting about the picture I left my room heading for the living room. George was here again. Him and my gran were sat on the sofa.
"Hey". I smiled taking a seat on one of the chairs.

"Much better". I had no idea what she wanted to talk about.
"I've been thinking a lot lately Leah. You don't have long left before you graduate and if you want to or decide to you'll be off to college soon".
"Okay". I had no idea where she was going with this. I didn't know if I was going to go to college yet.
"I have a little something for you, a little early graduation present". Placing on the table in front of her was a little gift box tied with a red bow. "It's from George and I". She smiled.
"You didn't need to buyanything". I sighed picking up the little box. She was good to me, she always had been and I had wanted for nothing when I was little but I was an adult now. I wasn't going to depend on my gran for things that I wanted or needed. I would work for them.
"You deserve this sweetheart".
Pulling the bow I lifted the lid, no she didn't. Lifting out the key I could feel my eyes start to water. She had boughta car, my very own car. I no longer needed to rely on anyone for lifts.
"Oh honey don't cry, you deserve this Leah so please enjoy the freedom".
Wiping my eyes I got to my feet. She had no idea how much this meant to me. "Thank you so much".
"You're very welcome". Kissing my cheek I squeezed her tight. I would be lost without her.
"Is it outside?". I grinned.

"Don't be so disappointed". She chuckled. "You'll get to drive it soon enough. Now we brought pizza it's on the kitchen island if you're hungry".
I was buzzing and feeling so much better. "Thank you again". I grinned heading to the kitchen. Taking a seat at the island I opened the box of pizza my stomach growling as the smell of pepperoni hit my nose.
My gran and George had went to bed around 11pm, I was still sat down the stairs. It was getting pretty late but I wasn't tired yet. I was still on a high and couldn't wait to see my car tomorrow. Taking a picture of my key I sent it to Alanna. I was glad I didn't need to depend on anyone anymore.
'Woohoo. A merc!! Lucky gal I'm jealous! Ax' I wasn't really good with makes of cars and I didn't really care. As long as it gotfrom A to B then I was happy. 'To bad I can't drive it for another 5 weeks :("
Getting a bottle of water from the fridge I made sure everything was turned off before efore I made my way upstairs. Closing my bedroom door quietly I turned on my tv, turned off my big light and got into bed. I was texting Alanna back and forth. 'Are you feeling better?! Like good enough to cover to mine tomorrow? Ax' 'What's the occasion?'
'Just a little girl time. We'll get sdinner and just chill out? You could cto training in the morning? Ax' Training? 'Sounds like a plan. What tdo you need me?'
'Be at my house for 9 and don't be late. Jake doesn't like it when we're e late Goodnight. Ax' Jake was going to be there?
