Chapter 26 - Choices

Madeline's POV

"Okay i guess i'm gonna leave now, i'll uh..." leah turned to the front door, i wanted to turn her around and kiss her but i knew i couldn't. Maybe this was for the best, maybe after this break everything would have calmed down and we realize how much we actually deserve to be together without any drama. Or maybe this was all a mistake and leah finds someone else...but i like the first one better.

"I'll see you at training later this week." leah said and smiled at me before she left. I sighed at the sound of her closing the door, i instantly felt regret but i knew we were gonna be back soon...i didn't know when though. 

How long or short was this 'break' supposed to be?

It was Tuesday, i had been home alone all day since Eleonor had started school today. It felt so alone at the house, alessia was busy, lauren had a job, eleonor was at school. I had no one to bother but my own brain. I had cleaned around the house a bit, then made myself some lunch. 

By the time i had finished eating lunch, i heard someone barge in through the front door. I walked out of the kitchen and peeked, it was eleonor. She was dragging her backpack across the floor, she closed the door and walked over to me.

"I need to talk to you." eleonor said impatiently.

"Yeah, what is it?"

"Madeline, it's about your parents." eleonor said. As soon as those words fell out of her mouth, my stomach dropped.

"What." i said.

"I don't know what they want exactly...but your mom called me while i was leaving class earlier, she had asked me for your phone number..."

"Did you give it to her.."

"No. I mean, i said i'd send it to her when i got home but i wanted to talk about it with you first.." 

"Shit...i forgot i changed my phone number when i left.." i sighed and looked at eleonor. "No wonder she hadn't gotten in contact with me...i thought she was still pissed.." 

"So do i send it to her or not?" eleonor asked me.

I shrugged. "What do you think she wants..." i asked.

"Well, she hasn't talked to you since you left texas...so maybe she just wants to see how you were? I mean, she seemed very interested in you when i was in texas and she visited my parents.." eleonor reminded me how my mom had asked about me when she went back to america.

"I guess....you can give it to her, i don't expect her to call soon but at least she'll have it already." i nodded and eleonor. I saw eleonor type my phone number and click send to my mom. Part of me was nervous and hoped she just wanted to have my phone number in case of anything, but i had this gut feeling something bad was gonna happen. My head started overthinking everything. 

"So how was your first day of back to school?" i asked eleonor.

"Don't even talk to me about it...i already have a project to get ready for..." eleonor rolled her eyes and walked upstairs.

It was night time already, i had done my night routine already and was laying in bed ready to sleep. For some reason my head felt so overwhelmed and tired even though i had done chores all day. I had reached over to turn my lamp off, i then laid back down in my cozy bed. I was so ready to fall asleep, i felt tired and sleep was very much needed.
