Chapter 28 - Not a break

Madeline's POV

It replayed in my head a few times before i reacted in any way. 

"I'm- Madeline- I'm sorry..." leah apologized. 

"What did you just call me?" I shook my head and walked over to the bed again. 

"Madeline...i don't know why i said- I'm sorry." leah kept apologizing. 

"It's fine.." i lied. 

"Madeline.."

"I'm gonna go do the dishes..." i said heading to the kitchen, i didn't hear anything, no footsteps, no walking, nothing. I leaned over the sink and turned the faucet on, i was hoping the sound of the water hitting the metal sink covered the sound of my crying. I was sniffing and letting the tears fall down on my shirt while i scrubbed the dishes. How would she call me that? Was i that similar to her? Why would she say that to me? Maybe she wasn't over her and not jordan...either way i didn't want to be part of this anymore.

After washing the dishes, i stayed in the kitchen for a little while. I could hear leah still moving around in her room, i heard the drawers closed. I couldn't let her move me in, i didn't want to anymore. I walked over to the shut door, i knocked once and waited. 

I heard footsteps coming over and suddenly the door opened, i saw leah and i looked around. Some of the boxes were now empty, i walked in and opened the first drawer. I looked into it and saw my clothes neatly folded. I sighed and started to take them out and placing them in one of the boxes.

"Madeline...i just put that in there." 

"I'm not moving in here leah." i said.

"What do you mean?" leah asked walking over to me, her hand landed over mine and shook it to let the shirt i was holding fall but i didn't let go.

"Please...don't touch me." i took my hand back and leah let me go. "I can't do this leah."

"Madeline, this is just an argument...we've had them before-"

"Don't you think we have a lot of arguments?" i looked at leah and folded my arms. "This isn't normal...and it's not just any argument...you just called me another girls name." i scoffed. "And it wasn't just any girl Leah."

"I'm sorry...i already apologized and i know that isn't gonna fix anything but i really didn't mean to call you- that." leah said trying to put a hand on my shoulder. 

I shrugged her hand away and started putting my clothes back in the boxes. 

"Don't touch me..." i whispered and leah took a step back. 

"You didn't have a problem with me touching you before.." leah said.

I ignored her and kept packing.

"Can you look at me?" leah asked me. I shook my head and opened the next drawer. "Look at me Madeline." 

I sighed and stopped all movements looking up at leah, her blue eyes scanned my face and i felt a bit uncomfortable.
