November 28th 2020 For nearly a month, I'd been avoiding Leo. He'd occasionally glance at me in school. Only on the days he'd showed up. Which was only about twice a week. I wanted to know how's he was doing. That he was okay. But I didn't have the guts to face his new personality. He was a completely different person.
On thanksgiving, I got to meet Alyse's family. They hadn't known about me staying. I also had my own room now. Although all of these good things were happening around me, I couldn't help but think about Leo. Every minute of everyday. My heart ached when I did. I cried nearly every night wondering where I went wrong. And why such a beautiful souled person would turn into such a distant, shallow human being in a matter of hours.
I hadn't done anything, that I knew of. Leo and I were just fine. I'd asked a guy in my science class who the guys were Leo was with and what they were like. Maybe they had something to do with it. He told me the dark haired one i said about before, was Mickey. There was another dark haired boy and his name was Pedro. And the other was said to be called neutron. He told me he didn't know much about them because they weren't in school often and didn't seem to hang out with anyone but each other.
Leo was in school on the current day. He didn't really glance at me like he usually would. After school, I was to wait outside for my mom to pick me up. Alyse was finally starting to be able to use crutches. So, she would leave the house a lot more often. Her arm was now out of cast and held up into a sling. She was doing great.
In order to get to the parking lot, I needed to walk through the gym. The bell rang and I grabbed my things headed to the gym. I was caught by surprise when I'd walking in.

Leo was sitting on a basketball seemingly waiting for someone. I assumed it was his new friends. We locked eyes as soon as I entered the gym and I looked down making my way to the exit on the other side. "Y/n." I heard Leo call out and I stopped dead in my tracks. My heart was pounding. I turned to look at him. "Can I talk to you?" He motioned for me to go to him.
I slowly walked over to him. "Hey." I mumbled trying not to make eye contact with him. "How've you been?" He was still looking me in the face as I struggled. "Fine. Thanks. And you?" I said looking down at my feet as he looked up at me from the floor. "Okay." He paused and looked at his hands before taking a deep breathe, "I've missed you." My heart started beating a bit faster. "Me too." I felt tears grow in my eyes. Dammit. "I'm sorry for bothering you. You can be on your way now." He was still looking at his hands. "No, no. You're okay." I sniffed and now sat down across from him looking at him with tears still in my eyes.
"I'm really sorry, you know?" He looked at me as well. I nodded. I didn't know what more to say to him. I didn't know who I was talking to anymore, to be honest. "Do you want to hang out after you get out of school tomorrow?" I smiled slightly. "Of course I do." He nodded. "I guess I actually better get going. My moms waiting for me." I stood up wiping my eyes. "I'll see you tomorrow." He looked back at his hands. "Yeah." I walked out of the gym and it felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Although he still wasn't himself, he was a little more like the person I'd met a few months ago.
I got into the car and we headed home. I stared out the window the entire time, thinking over my entire life.
November 29th 2020 Today was the day I would hang out with Leo for the first time in a long time. I missed him with genuinely all of my heart.
A/n: Hiii! If It takes me a little longer to get the chapter after this one done it's because I'm trying to make plans to get my girlfriend a flight down here to stay with me for a little. Thank you guys for being so patient and following along🖤
