Chapter 410
Wait. Did that mean | got in?
"Didn't you receive your acceptance letter? | assumed that's why you were here".
| couldn't hide my smile. "I got in?".
"You did". He smiled. "Majoring in English literature I'm hoping?".
I nodded.
"Excellent I'll see you in 4 weeks Miss Wilson now get out of my parking lot".
A laugh fell from my lips as | watched him walk back inside. So, maybe he wasn't all bad, but | still didn't like the
feeling that appeared in my stomach when | was around him.
He madenervous but that was something | didn't want to think about. I had just found out | had gotten into
college. Today was a good day for me. | was driving down the highway on my way to the library when my phone
began ringing from inside my bag. It was then | realised | didn't check in with Jake.
The ringing stopped before starting again. | would call him back once it was safe to do so. | was in a car accident
once | wasn't putting myself in a situation where it could happen again.
| took the exit and once | was on a new strip of road, | pulled into the side coming to a stop. | tapped his name
bringing the phone to my ear.
"I'm sorry | forgot to message you". | spoke.
"Are you okay?". He asked.
"I'm safe if that's what you mean".
"I'll always worry about you regardless of what's happened Leah but no that's not what | mean. Are you okay?".
He asked again.
"Sorry | shouldn't have said that. I'm okay I'm just heading to the library. Have you been to sleep yet?".

And there it was. The dreaded feeling rose in the pit of my stomach.
"Why?". | frowned. "Is everything okay?".
"Everything's fine babe but we have guests".
Guests?
"We do?".
"Your gran and George are here, and it doesn't look like they are leaving anytsoon".
"What?".
"Skip the library and chokay".
"Yeah, yes, I'm on my way now". | ended the call and took off towards home.
| wasn't sure if them being here was a good thing or a bad thing. But | guess | wouldn't find out until | got home
and faced them head on. The library could wait for another day.
The day had started out so well. Now | was filled with dread because let's be serious, she couldn't just be here
for a casual visit.
It wasn't long before | was pulling into our street and sure, as hell my grans car was parked behind Jake's truck.
Parking outside the house | made sure to leave enough room for them to get out.
| had already decided they weren't staying. And then the guilt started to seep in. What if she was here because
something was wrong? | couldn't exactly turn them away and if she really wanted, she could take her house
back.
But then that would put Lacey and Jack on the street and Lacey couldn't be without a place to live not in her
condition.
A sigh fell from my lips as | ran a hand down my face. What the hell was | doing? | always made the situation
worse by making up scenarios in my head. t was a habit | couldn't seem to shake. | got out making sure to lock
the truck and made my way up the driveway and inside. | took a deep breath before making my way into the
living room.
"Leah sweetheart". She got to her feet pullingin for a hug. "Are you okay?".
"I'm fine". | frowned. "Is everything okay with you?". | mean we only had coffee together the other day and if she
wanted to hear from me, she could have called.
"Your dad called me".
Ah, so she was here because she knew | knew.
"Yeah, | went to see him". She didn't need to know all the details.
"I've got a lot of explaining to do Leah,
but you need to know | did my best. |
wanted you 10 haveite best =

best life. | tried sweetheart | really

"You wantto get rid of them?".
"We can't just throw them out". | sighed.
