He wasn’t away 5 minutes and  Alanna was here. She had already  opened a bottle of Champaine and was  shouting out baby boy names.  Apparently, I was carrying a boy.”Could always call him Jake”.”Could be a girl”. I finished off mymakeup by adding a blush pink lip.”I’m team boy”. She winked.”Whatabout Jacob?”.”Enough with the baby names”. Isighed.”And zip me up please”. I opted  for a black dress that stopped just  above my knee.𝚠𝚠ⓦ.𝘯𝕠v𝓔⒧𝕨𝓞Ř𝔪.𝘤ℴ𝓂”You’re not still wearing crocs, areyou?”.𝓦𝓌ⓦ.𝘯𝕆𝗩𝓔𝕃ⓦ⒪⒭⒨.𝔠ó𝑚”Yes,I am”. I grinned.”Of course, you are”. She zipped meup and then went back to sitting on my  bed.”Did you tell Jake?”.”Tell him what?”.”Stop playing you know what”.”He knows that you know”.”And?”.”He’s fine with it. He told the guys lastnight. Oh, and when I came home, he  was drunk”.”Drunk?”. She frowned.”Jake doesn’tget drunk”.”I know”.”Did you ask why?”.”He said he wanted to have a fewdrinks”. I shrugged.”If he’s got  something to tell me then he’ll tell mewhen he’s ready”.𝕎⒲𝓌.𝔫o𝘃𝕖𝕝𝚠o⒭𝘮.𝚌𝓞m

“Could be to do with Jessica and herfamily wanting to move back”.I made a face.”What?”.How did I not know about this? And  then the pack meeting yesterday was  starting to make sense. I didn’t need to  go because they were discussing  whether to bring her back or not.”Shit”.I swallowed the lump that appeared  in my throat. I couldn’t believe he would  do this to me. To even consider bringing  her back in the first place and then not  tell me about it.I felt betrayed. My insides churned at  the thought of her being part of this  pack again.”I’m so dead”. She groaned.”He’s not bringing her back, is he?”.”I don’t know Leah”.She was a good liar, so I wasn’t sure if  she was telling me the truth right now.  Just when I thought everything was  good something like this happens. But I  wanted to know why. Why bring her  and her family back? What was the  reason behind it?”I have to finish getting ready. I’llmeet you at the school”. I felt deflated.  My chest felt heavy, and I felt sick to my  stomach. I wanted to be angry, but I  wasn’t. If anything, I was hurt.”My mom’s booked a limo so we canall go together”.”I’ll come over once I’m ready”. Ismiled.”Leah-…”.”Please, just go”. I needed to be aloneright now. I didn’t want her to see me  cry. Under normal circumstances l  would be furious, but I couldn’t control it  these days. I turned away from her as I  felt the tear slide down my cheek.𝑤𝑤𝔀.𝕟𝗢𝘷ë𝓵𝘄ⓞ𝔯ⓜ.𝓒𝔬𝑚”Okay”. She whispered.
