Irreplaceable {1}

Chapter 15

The next three weeks were much of the same. I went to my classes and studied a lot. Leo would facetime me when he got home from whatever he was doing that day. Every day was different for him, interviews, rehearsals, wardrobe fittings, recordings, and even a couple travels days. He made it to all three movie nights though, and even stayed the night.

We had gone from getting tangled in cuddles to heavy making out in my bed, but not any further. Yet.

He wasn't pushing for anything and I found it as a blessing. I wasn't completely sure where I was yet and spent a lot of time thinking about it. Maybe it would be different if all of our dates weren't in the comfort of one of our houses.

I was getting a little restless.

Then it was exam time and Roxy took over the living room. Her books and notes were everywhere and she sent a text to everyone she could that the next two movie nights were not being held at our place until exams were over. I had to forward the text to Leo and his friends. Levi was probably the most upset.

He texted me asking if this meant movie night was cancelled, I didn't have an answer for him. Someone else would have to host and no one stepped up to the plate.

I had more readings before my exams, but it wasn't as stressful as Roxy's so I spent a lot of time at the library or a cafe. When I was home, Roxy would make me do flashcards with her.

The first night without movies, Leo came over anyways and we watched a movie in my room before having our usual Saturday sleepover. Roxy was awake in the living room the whole night studying.

Then halfway through the next week, Levi decided he wanted to host movie night since he was missing it so much. So Leo came to pick me up and bring me over to Levi's. Levi lived in a more secluded place just outside the city with a driveway that was three times as long as Leo's. His house was pretty much the same size though, just with less greenery and less windows.

Almost everyone was there, the whole band and then the whole instrument band too - I didn't know what to call Kit and the others yet. They were the band of the band. Amara and her man also joined, but Roxy and Scott did not. Roxy was way too stressed.

"At least someone emerged from the study dungeon," Amara commented when she saw me.

"My exams won't ruin someone's life one day if I fail," I rolled my eyes and Leo pulled me to sit across the room from her.

There was much more space in Levi's living room. He was also so excited he went overboard with food it seemed like. I looked over the spread of snacks and then looked at Leo who was also taking it all in. He looked at me with wide eyes, "do you think he is excited?"

I smirked, "I think so, yeah."

We both laughed a little in our corner and Leo pulled a blanket over us and then me to his side. I snuggled in and waited for Levi to pick a movie.

Levi's couch was much more comfortable and I found myself dozing off. Yes, my exams were not as difficult as Roxy's, but I was still having some late nights studying.

I slept through the entire second movie, and then Leo woke me up as he shuffled off to the bathroom. He probably didn't mean to, but other people were also getting up and attempting to leave. So the whole thing made a little too much noise.

When Leo came back and saw me awake and up talking to Amara, he frowned.

"He's got it bad," Amara whispered, "the whole movie he shushed anyone who dared to talk while you were napping."

I frowned at her, "I assume it was you who was trying to talk."

Amara frowned at that, "okay fine, but still. Why did you come anyways if you were just going to nap? Also, your bangs are getting long you really need to decide if you're growing them out or not."
