"Bub"

Leah

TWO YEARS LATER 

It's been two years since I've seen him, I miss him but I also don't. He's damaged me in ways I didn't even realise, but it was all worth it in the end. If I never went through what I had with him I don't think i'd be able to see through people and their mind games. My guards are high now, my life is different without him, completely different. After a while I ended up going back to school, getting my life back on track and digging my head so deep in school work so I'd forget about him and his gorgeous face. But, here I am still thinking about him constantly. His voice runs through my head all the time, 'Hey Bub', the way he use to greet me before everything got so complicated and destroyed. 

I now live in an apartment with Jack and Jay. Jack has a girlfriend, her name's Sophia. I'm pretty sure Anthony introduced those two at a party one time because Jack wouldn't stop going on and on about her. Jay on the other hand is still single, just like me, and it's amazing. Just three nineteen year olds living in an apartment all to themselves, what could possibly go wrong? The mass amounts of moaning I hear every night from both rooms is ridiculous though. Can't a girl get any sleep? Another thing, Anthony is friends with Vinnie again. I remember when he said that I was going to be the stupid one to go back to him and fall for his bullshit all over again, well guess what, you're the fucking idiot Anthony. 

"Can we please go to Anthony's birthday party Leah!" Jack begged, his arms wrapped around Sophia as she laid on her phone scrolling through tiktok. Me on the other hand, I'm sat cuddling Jay on the other couch while Jay snores in my ear. 

"I don't feel like dealing with people tonight" I groan, "So many people will be there, like, tiktok people". 

"Well duh, thats why I want to go so I can bully all the basic tiktok bitches" Jack said with a sass. 

"I'm a basic tiktok bitch, leave us alone" Sophia joked, holding her hand to her chest to look like she's offended.

"Sorry baby" Jack said, placing a kiss on her forehead afterwards. Break up already I'm sick of this shit. 

"Enough!" I yell, rolling my eyes. Jay began to groan loudly as he woke up from my sudden loud voice. 

"Please please please!" Jack begged, god he's so annoying when he wants to do stuff. I know Vinnie will be there which is why I don't want to go because I don't think I can bare to look at him without all that pain rushing back that I spent a long time trying to get rid of. I also don't want it to seem like he's the reason, so I guess I'm going to have to put up with it. 

"Fine" I groan, "Only if you buy my drinks for me" I smirked. 

"Deal!" Jack exclaimed excitedly, jolting himself off of the couch, bringing Sophia with him. 

"Jay get up, we have a party to go to" I say with a sigh, getting up too. 

I made my way to my room and closed my door. I'm going for the hot ex girlfriend look tonight because if I pop up back into his life, I want to pop up with a bang. I had a shower about an hour ago so at least I don't need to worry about drying drenched hair. I made my way to my vanity and sat down, pulling my drawer full of makeup out. I began putting my makeup on, keeping it nice and light so that you could barely tell I was wearing any. Once I made it to the eyes I did some black eyeliner, smoking it out onto the lid and I added some black onto my waterline to make it pop a bit more. After I curled my long lashes and put some mascara on. Quickly after I brushed through my brows and put some gel on them that has a brown tint so they darken a little bit. 

Once I had finish messing around with my face I went over to my wardrobe and went through all the dresses I own. Most of them are long dresses that show off cleavage, but I did buy this one dress not too long ago because Jay pressured me into it since he said I looked 'fucking spectacular'. I pulled my shirt over my head and quickly put the matching bra on that goes with my panties. I then pulled my pj shorts down and put the dress on, adjusting how it sits on my body. I won't lie though, this dress does look fucking amazing on me. The dress is black and it shows off a lot of boob, but just enough so you can wear a bra without them falling out. It stops probably just below my ass cheeks too, and I know Vinnie is not going to be happy when he seems me (thats if he even still cares). I don't know why I care so much, but I want to make sure that he knows he fucked up. For shoes I think i'm just gonna wear my platform docs since they fit with everything. Once I had gotten them on I grabbed my phone and my purse, shoving them into a bag and then putting the bag over my shoulder. I could hear the boys in the lounge room, so I'm guessing they're ready to go.

Once we arrived at Anthony's I felt a huge wave of excitement, for once I cannot wait to see my brother. Without waiting for my friends I rushed straight inside looking for him, pushing through the large amounts of people dancing. His house is massive, but he lives with a few other people as well so it's not all his. On the way through I found the kitchen with drinks spread across the counter. May as well grab a drink while i'm here, right? My eyes scanned around for a cup, seeing a stack in the corner I went straight for them, grabbing one with my right hand and grabbing the bottle of vodka with my left. I quickly poured myself a drink, downing a few shots in the process, and then made my way over to the lounge room area because I assume thats where he'd be. To no surprise there he was, sitting on the couch with Avani on his lap drinking from his own red cup. 

"Anthonyyyy!" I cheered, running over to them and hugging them both in the process. Cory was sat next to them both, drunker than ever which is no surprise to me too. 

"Hey sis!" Anthony said with a large smile. Avani reached over and grabbed my face, kissing my forehead letting out a big 'mwah'. 

"I missed you!" She exclaimed, also with a huge smile across her face. 

"Leah!" Cory yelled, finally realising that I was standing right in front of him, "Jesus christ I haven't seen you in ages!"

"Hey Cory" I said with a laugh, sitting down beside him. I scanned my eyes around to see every one of the boys sat there drinking and talking with girls by their sides, until my eyes stopped at one. Him. He's sat down with a cigarette in his mouth and a cup in his hand while a girl tries to flirt her way into his pants. Her hands roamed his torso and his legs as he just sat there and let it happen. 

Why am I so jealous when he's not mine anymore?

A/N

Two updates in one night, what the fuck is going on? 

Nah, I just felt in the zone for some reason. But if you haven't read my other story please go and do that if you like this one, it would mean a lot. 

I'm also sorry this one is short too, the next one will be as well but I'm hoping to make the chapters longer afterwards with more of Vin's point of views.
