you're safe with me

7

it's been a few days and after much convincing, leah has persuaded me to go to her mums house with her.

i had packed my things and were leaving now.

we got in the car and started driving. we arrived an hour ish later.

"it's okay darling. i spoke to my mum and she said you should come" she said, sensing my nervousness.

we got out the car and stood at the door.

amanda opened the door and pulled her daughter in for a tight hug.

"hi darling you must be alex" she said.

"yeah. thanks for letting me stay here" i said.

"anytime darling" she pulled me in for a hug too.

we went inside and i met leah's dad and brother.

leah's dog came running over and jumped up at me excitedly.

her paws were pressed against my cut, and although it was healing, it still hurt.

"bella come here" leah said.

"you alright darling" leah asked me. i nodded.

we sat on the sofa and i spoke to amanda about how im finding it and how i feel signing for arsenal.

jacob then offered to play fifa with me.

he was spurs and i was arsenal.

it resulted in me winning 4-1.

"i was going easy on you" he said quietly.

"i very highly doubt that by the massive rage you had at halftime" i laughed.

we all had dinner and then put on a movie. david and jacob went out so it was just leah amanda and bella.

i lay across the sofa with my head at leah's stomach and a blanket over my body.

we had the lights off and some snacks.

bella came up onto the sofa and came next to me. i pulled up the blanket and she lay on my body, resting her head on my chest.

i ended up falling asleep, as did bella.

a few hours later i woke up. bella was no longer on my chest but in her doggy bed. nobody else was downstairs. there was a note on the table.

we've gone to bed darling, the guest room is on the end of the hallway, i've already taken your things up for you x

i got up and went upstairs.

i went to one end of the hallway and opened the door.

i saw leah in bed.

"oh sorry i thought this was the guest room" i said.

"that's on the other end. sorry i should have shown you before" she said.

"goodnight" i said.

"night darling" she said as i walked out.

i went to the other room and my bags were on the bed.

i opened it and got out my pyjamas and toothbrush. i plugged my phone on charge and got dressed and then brushed my teeth.

i got into bed and fell asleep pretty easily.

the next morning, i woke up and went downstairs. leah and jacob were in the kitchen eating breakfast.

"morning" i yawned as i walked in.

"morning" jacob said.

"morning love. did you sleep well" leah asked.
