L O V E R - a Leah Williamson story

chapter thirteen

It was finally halloween, the best time of the year. Halloween was my favourite holiday for many reasons - it's a lot less stressful than Christmas, and I love dressing up. So when Beth announced that she would be having a halloween party, I immediately became excited and started thinking about my costume.

Last year I had went as a devil, and although it was good there was about 5 others with the exact same outfit. So this year I told everyone that I was going as a criminal and that it was my costume. I had asked Leah what she was going as a couple of days ago but she wouldn't tell me, said it was a surprise.

"Are you excited for tonight?" Asked Beth as we both walked back inside after training. I scoffed and looked at her.

"Am I excited? Of course I am. I'm the halloween queen." I said with sarcasm in my voice. She laughed, "Okay y/n."

Beth looked around suspiciously before whispering in my ear, "A little bird told me that McCabe was going as a criminal." I froze. "What! I literally told everyone that was my costume! Ugh! I'm going to go talk to her." I shouted and stormed off.

Before I reached Katie I felt a tug on my shoulder. "Woah! Y/n don't, I was only kidding!" She said as she started to laugh.

I pouted. "That was a mean joke Mead. Watch yourself." I said as I walked towards Leah.

"What are you pouting about?" She asked as I reached her and sat down with a huff.

"Meado told me that Katie took my costume idea, so naturally I went over to confront her about it." Leah started to laugh, "Obviously." She said.

"But before I could Beth stopped me and said she was joking." I said as I looked up at Leah. She sat down next to me, took my hand, and gave me a stern look. "That is so mean. I'm gonna give her a piece of my mind." I widened my eyes in shock. Then she folded with laughter. My face dropped, I had been fooled again. "Not funny Williamson."

"It was a bit." She said out of breath from laughing. I sighed and walked away.

I was really excited for tonight. I had been really stressed lately with football so this was just the break I needed. I wouldn't be drinking but I knew that the other girls - and probably Leah - would be.

For my criminal costume I decided to go for the classic orange jumpsuit with fake handcuffs attached to one hand. I ordered it on amazon and it arrived a couple of days ago. We were to be at Beth's around 7:30pm, which gave me 3 hours to get ready.

Are you sure you don't want to tell me what you're wearing? x

I decided to message Leah to pass some of the time.

Yup, you'll love it though ;) x

This just made me more curious on what she was going to wear. It also made me a bit warm at the thought of her wearing something slutty.

After watching true crime documentary's for a bit I decided to make a move and start getting ready. I hopped in the shower. The true crime had really got me into the criminal mindset.

I changed into the orange jumpsuit and put some fake scars and blood on my face and my body before attaching the handcuffs. I smiled in my mirror as I realised how good my costume was this year.

I ordered a taxi and sat on my couch as I waited for it to arrive. Although I wasn't drinking I really wasn't in the mood to drive with handcuffs on.

Hey, I'm just about to leave. See you there and I can't wait to see your costume ;) x
