Let Me Down | John Murphy

Weird

^New character update!

Chapter 33

The minute we reached camp, I just wanted to have Dawn in my arms. It felt like forever ago since I last held her.

"I'll go find Kai," John tells me, and I nod.

He's been like this for a while now. My perfect prince. Acting like any good boyfriend.

Wait, did I just say boyfriend?

Sure, I'm guess we're in that direction but to think John is my boyfriend... I mean, that's a whole other thing. I want to be with him. More than anything. But a part of me needs more time.

I don't know why, or what I'm waiting for really. I just know for us to be 'official', I need to feel like I'm 100% ready. Right now, it's like I'm 99% sure but for whatever reason, I can't push it up to the limit.

Would totally recommend a relationship with Quinn Brady...

Not!

I'm complicated in all ways, which is why I'm surprised John hasn't dumped me yet. Even though he can't officially 'dump me' yet.

See? Complicated.

My head's all things 'Quirphy' until I find myself back in the past when a tall, sandy blonde runs into me.

Quite literally!

"Hey! Watch yourself!" I yell, frustrated to be on my ass again.

Did I ask to sit? No. I was standing for a reason.

Stupid idiot.

"Damn. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning," a voice that sinks in immediately.

Oh fuck me. Why?

Looking up at his bright blue eyes, I gasp.

"Leon?"

"The one and only," he smirks before offering me a hand to help me up.

"Uh what... I... um..."

"It's nice to see you, too, Quinn," he laughs.

Seeing Evelyn was one thing but now Leon? Next thing you know, I'm going to run into Rory's dad.

Who probably hates my guts for what happened to his daughter.

"Sorry, it's just that when I spoke to your mother... it was obvious I wasn't her favourite person."

"Ah, yes. She mentioned she saw you after a performance I'm sure we'll never forget," he smirks, but I place a hand against my head.

Drunk Quinn apparently loves an audience.

If Rory's dad saw it, I would die.

"Yeah, I'll be the first to admit that wasn't my finest moment," I say honestly.

"Nah, it's cool. You were pretty hilarious."

Okay... this is weird. Since when do Leon and I even talk?

"If you say so," I shrug, not really knowing how to continue this awkward conversation.

"Trust me, Quinn. It was a fun show to watch," he continues. "Rory would've laughed, too."

I instantly feel uncomfortable. The mention of Rory's name makes me wonder whether I'll get yelled at again for loving her or something.

"Yeah," I nod.
