The only boy I can't have

Luke

AUTHORS NOTE - if it wasn't clear, I don't edit my chapters - I read over them and change what I like/don't like. But for grammar and spelling I physically and mentally can't correct my errors xx

The car ride home was quiet to say the least, mainly because Eleanor wasn't speaking. Whether that was just to me or in general is another thing entirely.

She was crawled up into an angry ball in the back seat with her AirPods in, her hood over her head covering her eyes and her mouth was a permeant frown.

A cute frown.

But still I felt terrible.

She couldn't even look at me. I had betrayed her trust. I knew how much she hated being 'looked after' and the last person she would want to do that I'm sure would be me.

To be fair Jacob only told me at thanksgiving when everyone was leaving. At first I said no way. But then I thought about it. I would be with Eleanor 24/7 and suddenly it didn't sound too bad.

There was something off about Jacob as well. I could practically see the clogs in his head turning as he anxiously tapped the steering wheel with both of his pinkie fingers.

I cleared my throat. I was the last person who could make a situation when no one was talking less awkward.

"So Stacies for new years?" I asked Jacob

"Uh - what - oh yeah probably." He mumbled.

Yep I was no good at this.

*********

Apparently I would be staying at Jacob's only for the weekend and I 'had' to check in on her through the week. To be honest I never really slept at the hockey house on the weekends I was normally else where or Jacob was here so it wouldn't be a major difference to me.

It just meant I needed to have a permant packed back for the weekend - fine, easy, done.

Jacob dropped Eleanor off at the house and she spoke for the first time in 3 hours "bye thanks for the lift"

I watched her as she went.

Her butt looked amazing in those pants.

Me and Jacob entered the hockey house to a sparse amount of players.

"Luke, Jacob what's good" Benji greeted us grinning from ear to ear.

"What's good man - it's empty in here" Jacob said looking at the rookie sound asleep on the couch and a random - Reuben I think his name was? Next to him.

"All still on holiday lucky things - including Kyle but he said he would be back for new years. Obviously my ma and pa are going on a cruise-"
blocking benjis rant out about how betrayed and annoyed he felt about his parents going on a cruise cutting his Christmas holiday short I went up to my room.

My mind still lingering on Eleanor.

ME - it'll be fun to be housemates for weekends don't you think?
