you're safe with me

26

it's the next morning and i woke up in leah's empty bed.

i got up and went downstairs and saw leah in the kitchen, leaning against the middle island.

"she's still not back" leah said.

"she'll be back soon le. have you rang her" i asked.

"yeah she didn't pick up" she said.

this really isn't looking good right now.

we ate breakfast and sat on the sofa. training is at 5 today so we have nothing to do all day.

"shit i forgot to put the bins out" leah said as we saw the bin truck coming down our street.

"i'll go" i sighed and ran out of the house.

i put out the bins and saw someone at the edge of the street looking at me.

okay this is getting weird now.

what the hell is going on.

it's another man possibly late 20s but i don't know him. he's just staring at me while on a phone call.

i went back in and told leah. she went out to look but he was gone.

we ended up going to the cinema. leah chose for us to watch a horror movie.

that's just great (not)

we sat down and watched. i was scared throughout the whole film, hiding behind the popcorn for most of it until leah took that off me.

i grabbed her hand in terror as she laughed at me.

as the movie finished we stood up and started walking out.

"it wasn't even that scary" i joked.

she just laughed at me.

"no but i think it was more gruesome than actually scary" i said.

"yeah i get what you mean" she said.

i went to use the toilets while leah waited outside.

as i walked out she scared me.
i jumped and screamed.

"you bitch" i said slapping her arm and pushing her.

"that was fucking easy" she laughed as she wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

"do you want some ice cream" she asked.

"yeah" i said.

we both got some ice cream and then walked to her car.

she drove us home and kept laughing and going on about my reactions in the movie while i sat and rolled my eyes at her.

i'm glad this has got her mind off jordan for a bit because she still hasn't called or even messaged to explain herself.

i really hope she hasn't done anything to hurt leah.

we got back home and sat watching tv. leah went to make us some food and then the door knocked.

leah went to open it.

i heard the pattering of paws and then a bark. i went to the door and saw amanda and bella.

bella left leah and ran straight to me.

"she likes her more than me" leah said to her mum.

"hi bella my baby" i said scratching her head before picking her up and carrying her into the living room and onto the sofa.

"how are you alex" amanda asked while hugging me.

"i'm good. how are you" i said hugging her back.

"yeah all good" she said and sat down.
