The past few weeks Leah and Em have been super clingy, not that I'm complaining about Leah but they're acting suspicious, even Lia has messaged me the odd time to check up on me. I know Leah has a break now because the league is over, so she's had a lot more free time and I'm probably just overthinking.

"Leah I'm off to work!" I shouted from the stairs, just as I was about to leave, Leah came running down the stairs, "I'll drive you", she said as I looked a her with a raised eyebrow, "I can drive myself", I said grabbing my keys, "but-", "no buts Leah, what has gotten into you lately", I laughed, low key hoping for an honest answer. "Eh- nothing, just want to be close to you", she said, I didn't believe her but I just nodded and replied, "I'm only gonna be gone a few hours, see you soon", I said and left before she could reply.

I got to work and sat down at my desk opposite Em, "hey how have you been?", she asked, "you mean since the last time you asked me this morning? Yea I'm good", I replied laughing as she just rolled her eyes. "Leah's being extra clingy lately, I'm not complaining but it just came out of no where", I said out loud, "I'm sure it's just because she's got a lot of extra free time", she said nonchalantly, that's exactly what Leah said. "Excuse me I'm just gonna make a call", she said leaving her desk and walking into an empty room, what the hell? I thought to myself.

Emily's POV:
I dialled Leah's number and she picked up pretty fast, "she's getting suspicious, she's saying you're being too clingy Leah, you need to chill okay", I rushed out, "I'm sorry okay I'm just worried", she replied. "I know okay, trust me I know, but she can't find out, not yet", I mumbled, "are you sure we can't tell her, I mean she deserves to know", Leah said, "I know she deserves to know Leah but you didn't see her the last time she spent 2 years looking for him, it broke her, we barely got her back", I said, remembering how broken Y/N was trying to find the man who killed her father. "Okay I understand, I'll try and back off", Leah said, "thank you Leah, I'm sorry you have to keep this from her", I said softly, "it's for the best", she said and we both said our goodbyes.

Y/Ns POV:
Em returned from her phone call and sat down, "who was that?", I asked, "just my mum", she replied. "Speaking of mums, mine wants to do dinner this weekend, me, you, Leah and Lia", I said, hopeful her and Lia can come. "We'll be there", she said smiling.

Work was pretty boring the next couple hours, me and Em got called to a domestic abuse situation, a woman's boyfriend trying to attack her with a knife. Luckily, me and Em got there before anything could happen, though the little prick nicked me with the knife, nothing major, just a tiny cut on the top of my hand.

After we brought him to the station, I made my way home, excited to get back to Leah, I walked in the door to see Leah in the kitchen. I walked up behind her and wrapped my hand around her front, "sorry I'm late, had a last minute call at work", I said kissing her cheek. "That's okay, I'm just making d-", she stopped herself as she seen my hand, "what happened?", she asked panicked, inspecting my hand, "hey I'm fine, just a douche with a knife and it nicked my hand, it's not deep", I said reassuring her as she let out a sigh, "you've been pretty jumpy lately are you okay?", I asked, "yea sorry, just worried", she said smiling and pecking my lips as she turned round to finish dinner.

"Oh my mum wants to do dinner this weekend with us and Em and Lia, you okay with that?", I asked already knowing she would say yes. "Of course", she said smiling, I'm so in love with her.
