Falling for Marshall

Chapter 6

Leah POV:

Liane and Jace left in a good mood so I guess they sorted everything out between themselves. Kacey helped me clear up the dishes and the left overs, whilst Marshall was just sitting on the sofa in front of the TV not paying any attention to it, I wonder whats up with him.

"Hey wanna stay over tonight?" I asked Kacey. Since the attack I hate being home alone for like 2 seconds. "Yeah, why not..we gotta a lot of catching up to do anyway." She smiled. I walked over and and picked Marshall's legs up from the sofa, sat down and then put them down on my lap, he didn't look up at me once, all these thoughts come rushing in my head about what I could've done, but seriously, nothing bad comes to my head..well nothing bad that could effect mine and Marshall's relationship.

"Lish...Hello...Lish!" I was snapped out of my thoughts by Kacey calling me I looked up and she was standing behind the sofa with her arms across her chest.

"Oh..sorry, whats up?" I say looking up.

"Everything alright?" She questioned with a worried look on her face. "Yeah." I nodded. "Why wouldn't it be?" I asked.

"You look shit scared and worried that's why." She said pointing at me. At the corner of my eye I could see Marshall staring at me. "No everything's fine, what were you saying before when you were calling anyway." I asked to take the attention away from me so Marshall would stop staring, but that didn't work, I looked over at him, he didn't look away, still was staring with a sad look on his face, anger flashed across his face as we held each others gaze. I quickly looked away facing Kacey.

"So do you?" Kacey asked waiting for a reply.

"Sorry, do I what?" I asked. She rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Do you still have my nighties from last time?" She asked again.

"Yeah, probably in the bedroom." I lifted Marshall's feet up and got of the sofa placing his legs back on the sofa, he was in deep thoughts. I walked to my bedroom, Kacey following behind me.

"Should be here somewhere, I say looking through the ironing basket. "You know what I'll go home and grab some fresh one."

"I washed them last night dumb ass...they are clean." She chucked a pillow at my head and we both started to laugh. "You're not going for fresh clothes are you.." I ask.

"Nope, I think Marshall wants to talk you." She reply's and walks out the bedroom I follow behind. "It's late Kace." That was my nickname for her Kace. She grabs her sneakers by the door and puts them on.

"Only 12, I got a car anyway, And yes I do need clothes...pass me my coat." She says grabbing her keys from the dresser next to the door. I pass her the coat.

"You can't leave me on my own Kace.." I whisper to her and point with my eyes towards Marshall, she rolls her eyes and sighs. "You need to sort it out Lish..." I just nod my head in reply and she gives me a peck on my cheek and goes towards the front door. "Strawberry or chocolate?" She asks before she leaves. "Strawberry milkshake please" I say and smile. "Okay she say's be right back" with that she closes the door.

I take a deep breath and walk over to Marshall, he still doesn't move or make any eye contact with me. "Marshall..you okay?" He sat up and patted on the sofa next to him, I slowly made my way towards him and sat down next to Marshall. Once seated he put his right arm around me and pulled me closer, I lay my head on his shoulder as he stroked my arm. Well I guess it's a good start so far, but why the sudden mood change.

"How was shopping.." He asks looking at the ceiling, I place my hand on his chest and rubbed my hand up and down, he instantly relaxed. "It was good. I bought you a jacket." I say looking up at him.
