Chapter 7 - Bathroom run ins

Madeline's POV

When i left to go to alessia's car, alessia was waiting for me with a suspicious look on her face. I opened the passenger door and smiled at her, trying to hide my bothered face. 

"Hey less..thanks for waiting for me.." i said putting my seatbelt on. 

"Mads." alessia said in a stern voice. "Can i ask you something.." alessia turned the car off and turned to me.

"Of course.." i nodded, i knew what she was gonna ask. 

"Is everything okay with you and leah? I'm sorry, i tried to keep my nose out of it but i couldn't help it anymore" alessia asked, with a genuine worried look on her face. I hated keeping this from her, she's been nothing but nice to me and here i was, lying to her face.

"Everything fine less, i promise." i smiled reassuring the blond.

"Okay, i can't believe i'm saying this but- if leah is ever like..." alessia tried to choose her words carefully. "If she's ever mean, or nasty to you...you would tell me right?" alessia asked me. 

I felt bad, the poor girl has the complete opposite idea of what was going on. 

"Yeah of course.." i assured her. "But she isn't being mean to me less." i told her

"I know leah, she's not the type to be like that, i was just wondering.." alessia smiled and started the car again.

After the drive to my house, i said bye to Alessia and entered through the front door. 

"Hey you." eleonor said as she passed me, walking into the living room. I followed behind her and sat next to her on the couch. She had made herself some tea which she was taking sips from. I sat there in silence for a couple of minutes, i noticed eleonor kept sending me weird looks.

"Are you gonna say something or just sit there?" eleonor asked me.

"Sorry, just..." i tried fighting the urge to tell her. "I need to talk to you about something.." i said as i watched eleonor's little smile drop to the ground.

"Go on.." eleonor put her tea down on the small living room table. 

"Something happened on Wednesday..with me and leah.." i turned to her, she had this look on her face as if she knew where i was going with this. "I had gone to the restroom...and i accidentally walked in on leah because the lock was broken, but she was only washing her hands." i said as i started playing with my bracelet i had been wearing on my right wrist. "Things escalated pretty quickly, and i told her to stay to keep an eye out for anyone coming in...you know so she can say it's occupied" i said not daring to look up at Eleonor.

"After i finished doing my business, i was washing my hands and i felt leah come up from behind me....i felt her hands on my waist.." i said taking small pauses not wanting to throw all of this on her. "And she asked me if she made me feel nervous..and then right after she kind of touched my arm..but then alessia opened the door and she moved away, like nothing was happening." i finally looked up at eleonor, she was staring dead at me. No expression on her face at all, so i kept going.

"You're gonna get pissed at this but since we're here already, might as well tell you." i said sitting up properly on the couch. "I made a friend, her names lauren, and we went out for lunch on thursday...she's the first person i told about all of this." i nodded at eleonor. "And she asked me if i liked girls, she asked me all of these questions and i really had been thinking about it.." i shrugged. "I don't know if i'm overthinking but i think i might, possibly- maybe like girls?" that last part came out sound more like a question. "I'm still a little stuck on that part.." i said.
