Are we forbidden?

This morning I was up bright and early, it was my first day at St Geroge's Park and I wanted to prove I was good enough to be there. Leah was also up early with me, she offered to come with me to my apartment so I could grab some things before we go.

Before today, Leah had been going on her own to get me clothes and other things, but I knew I needed to get it over with and just go back. I was dreading walking in and still being in that mess, that awful mess and things missing all over.

 Leah understood that, she understood me and why I couldn't go. We have a relationship, well friendship, where we don't have to say it we just know what the other person was thinking. It's special. 

The car that would take us to camp is picking us up at 2 pm, which gives us plenty of time. It is also picking up Beth and Lotte before coming to get me and Leah. 

I made Leah and I breakfast whilst she was packing her bags. I was sent instructions for what to wear when I arrive at camp and it was England clothes which I didn't have any, I was hoping they had sent some to my apartment or the driver picking us up would have them but the stress that added to my day wasn't necessary.

As we were getting everything together to head to our apartment, Leah offered me one of her England hoodies, I instantly took it knowing it would help to calm my nerves about the dress code.

We were soon on our way after making sure Leah's house was securely locked up and the butterflies swarmed my stomach. 

I knew it was safe to go back, the police had been there and I had Leah with me. Yet the nerves were still there, what if they came back? What if they come for more stuff?

A million thoughts were racing in my head until I felt Leah's hand softly placed on my thigh, giving it a gentle squeeze followed by that sweet smile of hers.

Leah's smile could light up the whole room, her beautiful blue eyes were piercing yet welcoming all at once, and my god was she graced with such perfect features. From her defined cheekbones to her sharp jawline, her face was sculpted by something out of this world, something way too good for this world.

She must have caught me staring because I watched her wink at me before beginning her sentence.

"See something you like there Ro?" Leah turned back to face the road, catching herself staring back at me.

"Just that smug face of yours Williamson" I replied, letting a smirk take over my face.

"Williamson? Ouch that hurt, what happened to Le?" Leah placed her hand on her heart as if in pain which caused me to laugh at her, and her soon joining in.

"Oh don't be so dramatic, it's my job to keep you humble" Leah's head span quickly to me, her mouth wide open.

"I will have you know that I am a very humble person Miss Leran" My laughter grew at the name she called me.

"Miss Leran? What are we back in school?" I questioned, still laughing in the passenger seat.

"Yeah yeah, you know your an awful passenger princess I must say" Her hand was still firmly planted on my thigh, now rubbing circles causing tingles wherever she touched.

"You would hate anyone else as your passenger princess" I replied, leaning to kiss her on the cheek.

The rest of the journey was spent digging at each other and making plenty of jokes, the whole car ride we were laughing and it was what I needed to calm my nerves.

Soon we arrived at the place I was dreading, my home.

I went to open my door but Leah grabbed my hand and put it on my leg, lifting up her finger and pointing it at me telling me to stop. This confused the shit out of me and I just sat there in her car wondering what on earth she was talking about.
