*********

I laid on the couch, thinking about everything. It was all so much to take in, my ex best friend getting pregnant and Tyde who I let myself fall for, being the father.

I turned on the TV to try and get my mind off things but I just couldn't. I tried my best to focus on the show that was on. I was interrupted by my phone ringing and I picked it up to see that it was Aiden calling. My heart starting racing at the sight of his name on the screen. Why is he calling?

"So how about that date?" Aiden asked as soon as I picked up the phone.

"What?" I breathed, completely caught of guard.

"Remember when you were at my house the other day and you agreed to go on a date with me? Well how about today?"

I internally screamed at what Aiden said. He actually wanted to go on a date with me. After all these years of crushing on him, he finally wanted to go on a date with me.

I couldn't contain my smile as I replied. "I would love to Aiden."

"I'll pick you up at six. Wear something nice. Not that you don't always look nice... But you know what I mean," he said and I laughed.

"Okay, see you then."

"Bye," he said and hung up.

I sat there smiling to myself and repeating the conversation we just had in my head. I still couldn't believe that he actually wanted to go on a date with me.

I couldn't contain my excitement, I had to tell Natasha.

I called her and she picked up straight away.

"Natasha guess what!"

"What?" She asked.

"I know this isn't the best time to be talking about this but Aiden asked me out on a date!"

"Oh my gosh are you serious!" She said, sounding excited.

"Yes! What am I going to wear? What do I do with my hair?"

"Don't worry I'll be there in 5!" She said before hanging up. I smiled. She always knows what to do.

I was sitting there waiting for Natasha to come when Luke came downstairs. I hadn't seen him at all lately because he either stayed in his room or went out. I quickly averted my eyes as I remembered we weren't speaking to each other. From all that has been going on I had forgotten all about Luke.

He opened the fridge and was getting something out when the doorbell rang. I quickly got up and walked to the door. I opened it and Natasha walked straight in.

"Okay you need to get ready like right now!"

"It's still early."

"It's never too early! Come on Leah."

"Fine, just let me get my phone," I said and led her into the living room.

"You have to get dressed and then I'll do your hair and makeup and-" she stopped as she saw Luke sitting on the couch.

"Oh hey Luke," she said.

"Why does Leah need to do all that, where is she going?" He asked, looking directly at Natasha and ignoring me.

"Oh um we're just going to um..." She began, trying to think of a lie.

"It's none of your business where I go Luke, okay?" I spoke up. It was the first time I had spoken to Luke in what felt like forever.
