Maddy's POV
Maddy didn't know how to feel. She was hurt, jealous and in envy. Leon was moving on meaning she was too late.
Leon and Maddy hadn't been together for that long but Maddy couldn't deny that she grew to have strong feelings for him. I guess Leon has that effect cause she could easily tell Marie was happy to be with him.
She didn't understand why she did what she did with Nate Months ago. Her choice made her lose a good guy. My god was she in absolute regret.
"Maddy I think you need to get a grip." Suze says ease dropping on her daughter's friends conversation.
"Ms. Howard respectfully this isn't something you should be involved in."
"Yeah well you had no business running back to Nate when being in a good relationship but you still did." Suze says pouring herself more whine.
"Oh my god mom! Shut up! That's so rude." Cassie yells as Maddie stares at the woman in disbelief.
"The truth hurts hon. But if you want me to make you feel better and lie I say you still have a chance but if you want the truth I say you don't." Suze sits at the Table.
"I mean who knows Maddy this girl could just be someone Leon is just sleeping with." Kat saying with a shrugs.
Maddy sighs. "It didn't look like it Kat. She looked like she was more than just a Fuck."
"But did he give any signs that he was into her like that?"
"He did put his arm around her. But it's the way he looked at her, he looked like he was glad she was there like he was actually happy." Maddy says sadly. "I wanna be happy for him but a huge part of me wishes I could have him back."
Suze shakes her head. "Maddy at the end of the day no matter how much you want him back, be glad he has someone maybe it's not permanent but if he seems happy then let him."
Maddy takes in her words. She was right no matter how selfish she wants to be she knew Leon being happy was what she wants for him in the end. Leon didn't have a happy life from the beginning but maybe now he can finally have his moment.
She had her chance and she ruined it. A small part of her hopes that there could be something for them but for now only time will tell and so far it didn't look like she was gonna have him anytime soon.
3rd person:
Elliot, Rue, Marie and Leon sat in the living room smoking a blunt. All of them were high out of their minds, considering this was the 2nd blunt.
The group had grown to do this almost every other day. Even when Rue had AA meetings.
Leon and Elliot were taking about his music stems and the process of them while Rue sat there listening, Marie however was growing impatient at the lack of attention Leon was giving her.
She didn't want to fuck him but she just wanted to talk to him. About whatever, but when he and her were looking at each other.
Rue noticed Marie's demeanor and slightly smiles. "So Marie, what's your favorite movie?"
Marie's eyes shift to Rue and she thinks for a moment, "White Chicks or Friday. You?"
Rue hums in thought having no clue what it was. "You know...I don't really know..." The older girl laughs and Rue still thinks.
"You are out of it girl." Marie says. "So what's your little girlfriend like? The blonde."
Rue's mood suddenly changes. "She amazing like you don't understand she's like the coolest person ever. Jules just knows how to make me feel better and I miss her all the time and constantly want her around you know. The feelings I have for her can never be described in words." Rue rants dreamily. Marie listens with a smile That's cute. Rue leans in closer "so you and Lee? How's that going?"
Marie glances at him for a moment even though she was a little biter that he was still taking to Elliot she couldn't help but admire him. "I mean I'm no relationship expert but you guys seem like you're doing really good." Rue mumbles.
"Oh yeah?" Marie asks shifting her attention back in Rue. "Honestly I cant lie, I like where this is going you know I mean he's so good in bed-"
"Didn't need to know that-"
"And the way he gives head-"
"Okay I think that's all I need to hear-"
"But the way he's gently, don't get me wrong I like when he's rough but he treats me like I'm delicate and he treats me right. When we hangout I like that he doesn't mind when I like to have him close. Once we hold hands or have arms around each other it stays that way unless we have to let go. Rue, Lee is so gorgeous. Like when I say that I don't mean fine as fuck I mean he looks beautiful, everything about him is, one feature is captivating but the next is breathtaking. I like the attention he gives me and I love hearing his stories and his jokes." Marie rants softly.
Marie was finally at a point where she couldn't stand the idea of not being more with Lee. She wanted him to be her's and she wanted to be his. I think that's what scared me She probably wasn't gonna break his heart but Lee wasn't in the best state. He'd been using a lot more recently, when he and Marie weren't together Lee would be taking a bunch of drugs. He was only sober around her.
Marie knew he used but she didn't know that he was addicted. He chose to hide from her because weather she knew or not he didn't want to risk what they were starting to become.
As she kept ranting Rue's smile slowly started to fade she didn't know why but suddenly her mood wasn't as bright as before. Marie looks at Rue and Rue quickly brings up her smile nodding to all the things She had to say.
"Well Marie if you want to take it a little more further I'll talk to Leon, you know let him know to make it official."
Marie's smile brightens. "Really? You'd do that for me?"
"Of course but only if this is something you really wanna do cause if not then you're just wasting each others time." Rue explains.
Marie nods her head. "Im positive I want this, I mean I don't want any other girls trying to get to him."
Rue laughs and waves her off. "Trust me Marie it's pretty hard to get Leon's attention especially romantically. His eyes are on you I promise you that."
Marie rolls her eyes. "Well their not on me right now."
Rue looks over at the boys still talking and she looks back at the older girl. "Is there a problem?" She thinks for a moment and she realizes that Marie was jealous. "Ohh you're jealous that he's not paying attention to you."
"Can you say it a little louder." Marie says slightly panicked. Rue gives her a look and she huffs. "Yea I am but so what you Can't blame me. I mean does he have a thing for him for him or what."
Rue laughs and shakes her head. She gets up and sits next to the guys. "Elliot lets go get beers or something."
Before he could respond Elliot gets dragged by Rue and Rue winks at Marie as they walk out the door. Leon looks at Marie and motions to come sit by him, she gets up and before she can sit beside him he grabs her by the waist and sits her on his lap. Marie laughs softly before she plants a kiss on his cheek.
He smiles widely at her. What he felt for her was different he didn't want to move too fast due to past relationships but he wanted nothing more than to make it official. Maybe That's moment would come anytime soon.
"I missed you." Leon said Marie lets out a small chuckle.
"I was right over there."
"But still I wanted you here with me." Leon mumbles laying his head on the crook of her neck. Marie's heart start to beat faster and she smiles fondly.
"Well then i missed you too. But you seemed a little too busy with your little boyfriend." Leon laughs as he kisses her shoulder a few times.
