"Seth?." I mutter, wondering if it was actually him.
"Who is it?" The voice replies confused, and I mutter my name softly into the phone. I hear a small gasp from the other side.
"Seth? Your alive?." I whisper, not sure if it was really him or just a prank.
"It's me love, I'm sorry I disappeared." He replies.
"seth, I really need to see you, please." I beg, he was the only person other than jace that understands me, and I thought I lost him.
Who am I kidding, it's probably not even him.
"you know I can't do that. If I get caught seen it ain't gonna end well for me, I love you, but I can't risk it." He says, nerves filling my body from head to toe.
"What if I come to you, will that not make a difference?." I sob, pleading for him to just see me, that was all I needed right now. I'll do anything if it's him, I'm desperate.
"Hey hey, what's wrong? Is everything okay princess?" He says, but I don't reply, it hurts to speak, I feel my throat closing up and I don't know what to say anymore.
"where are you." I hear him sigh, meaning he'll come to me, I'm so grateful for that, I really need it right now.
"Jaces house, you know which room is mine, please, just hurry up. I need you Seth." I reply, wiping tears from my eyes and sniffing a couple times, before hearing him hang up and leaving my phone on the floor.
About 27 minutes later I hear a knock on my window, I get up rushing towards it and see his face, his beautiful face.
Opening the window, he climbs in and pulls me into his arms, hugging me and not letting go. He places a long, gentle kiss on top of my head, and I wrap my arms tighter round his torso, I want to stay here for ever.
"why did you leave me.." I sob, he left a few months before my dad was arrested, it was said he fell into the river, and his body was never found, but somehow he's here.
We lost all contact, for the last 4 years, and it took so long to get over his death, but he's back? It's really him.
"I'm sorry love, it's complicated, nothin you need to worry about, let's talk about you, what're the tears for?" He says, angling my chin up and wiping my tears with his thumb. His soft, gentle thumb. God, I missed his touch, the comfort he brung me was better than anyone's I've ever met before, even greys.
I explain everything to him, about how jace and grey weren't who I thought, and how my bestfriend knew, and how I'm not safe here and- and we'll everything. I told him how I felt, and that I missed him so, so much.
I told him about grey, how id let him kiss me, and touch me, how he'd betrayed me.
He sighs, taking a seat on my bed and gesturing for me to sit beside him, which I do, leaning my head on his shoulder as he wraps an arm around me.
"you know that jace would never hurt you sweetheart, I promise that, he'd do anything for you."
would he though? He's a killer, who knows what he could do.
"I promise leyla, he loves you, more than anything in this big ass world." He repeated, kissing my head again.
"I don't know seth.. it's scary, the fact that I'm living in the same house as literal murders, they're in the mafia." Maybe I'm exaggerating, but the mafia is a dangerous job, too dangerous for someone like us.
We sit for a few hours, talking over the situation and working out solutions, in the end, he convinces me to forgive them, I won't trust them fully yet, but with seth by me, I feel a bit safer.
It's stupid to think my own brother would hurt me, but if he's anything like my dad, I don't wanna chance it. As long as Seth's here, I'll be okay.
That's so stupid. I know jace would never be like my father, but part of me just knows he's still blood.
I just don't want to cry infront of jace, he'll think I'm a baby
"What would I do without you seth" I sigh, realising he was actually back, he's still alive and I wasn't alone anymore.
"You managed these last four years without me my love, and it seems you done just fine." He smiles, he's the best, he always comforts me whenever I need it.
"I love you seth." I reply, leaning in to hug him again, he's literally my bestfriend, without him, I don't know what would have happened just now.
"I love you too princess." He replies, kissing my head, for the millionth time today, and I chuckle at his affection, maybe he just likes kissing a lot.
I don't mind though, it's so worth being able to see him.
it's not over yet😍
Greys pov.
I decided to go check on Lou, to see if she was okay a few hours after our little argument, worst, decision, ever.
I'd so desperately wanted to her the words "I love you" leave her mouth, but I wanted them aimed at me, not someone else.
I walked past her door, debating if I should've gone in or not, but I could hear a voice talking and her replying, so I guess, I listened in.
I hear the male voice talking over what happened in the last few hours, and him convincing her that it's safe, and we're not a harm to her, which I agree with. I would never hurt leyla again, not after last time.
But then I hear words only I should've been hearing, her saying I love you to another man broke me, and it shouldn't have.
I should've known she didn't feel the same, fuck. I ruined it by telling her I was in the mafia, maybe then she would've loved me too, why did she have to find out.
The male voice replies back, "I love you too princess." Yet I don't recognise the voice, I've never heard it ever in my life, so where did he come from.
It felt like a million bullets being put through my skull. Even getting punched in the face hurt less than this.
I know I haven't been the kindest to leyls, but I still think I love her. I've never felt this way for anyone ever, she makes me feel little somersaults inside my stomach whenever she says my name, and makes me feel loved. Even when she doesn't love me.
Well shit, I guess this is why my father never loved after ma, because he realised that girls will always be the same, there will always be another man.
Why didn't she tell me she was with someone? Surely she could've let me down slowly, or even told me so I didn't get my hopes up.
Damn.
Authors note
I'm so sorry this chapter has took so long to be published.
I think I'm going to stop writing this book, I have no ideas for it and it's boring me, it has no plot either.
However, don't leave
My new book darkest desires, is being wrote as you read this, I've properly planned that one out and am going to release more regularly once I get more chapters written.
Once I've finished that book, I may come back to this one if I stop writing it, but don't get your hopes up.
I'm so sorry my loves, maybe I'll find motivation another day, but until then, goodbye to this book<3.
