Falling for Marshall

Chapter 9

Leah P.O.V
I wake up to a huge headace, I barley got any sleep last night after Ray told me about Marshall and Kim. I lay in bed for another 20 minutes thinking about how Marshall can just lie about this if it was true. After the argument we had in his car yesterday, I actully believed every word he said.

I get out of bed and take a shower and get dressed. It's 12pm already. I brush my hair and walk into the living room, it's a complete mess. I start to tidy up all the mess and play a bit of LL Cool J songs on, trying to distract myself from the thought of Marshall cheating on me with Kim. I check my phone and Marshall still hasn't texted or called me back, I throw my phone onto the couch and turn the music off and try to figure what i'm going to do about Marshall. I look around and my apartment is really quiet, for the first time I actully feel lonely, I can't take this, being stuck here, so I grab my keys and coat and go for a walk.

I walk down the apartment stairs and once I'm out im hit with a cold freezing breeze, the streets are filled with a few people. I walk through the snow making light footprints in the snow, it was fucking freezing to go for a walk, but I had to clear my mind. I look up as it starts snowing again and just stand there for a few seconds, trying to enjoy the feeling of the snow.

"You're gonna freeze to fucking death...Psh, I hope you do!" I turn around to find Kim in a car smoking. I open my mouth but no words come out. She just stares at me and smirks.

"We need to talk Leah." She says and opens the door to the passengers seat for me to get in, I hesitate a bit and then make my way around the car and once in I close the door and a the heat hits me right away. Neither of us talk for a few minutes and I break the silence first.

"What did you want to talk about?" I ask looking at her leaning back on my seat.

"I wanna talk bout the other night-" I quickly interupt her.

'What about it." I bite on my bottom lip, I habit that I had when I was nervous.

"Don't play stupid Leah.." She lets out a deep breath. "Me and Marshall, we had sex the other night." I freeze at her words. I already knew this, but hearing it from the person who fucked Marshall damaged me.

"There was a cute mix race guy near to the house where this gang was he was just staring at Marshall and then me, me and Marshall we- we were making out and two other people from the group came to me and asked my name, I simply told them and they went back to the person who they callled Ray I think, I looked over at him and his stare was cold and jaw was clenched." She looks at me but I just look ahead. Still trying take it in with out crying.

"I saw him come out you're apartment last night with your friend, they were talking about you and how you were a great person and didn't deserve this..." She stops and looks at me and doesn't speak for two or three minutes. "I am so so sorry Leah." She whispers and strokes my shoulder. I lean foward cover my face not wanting to cry infront of kim, but it's was no use, I wipe the tears from my face and let out a deep breath.

"All I've done was be nice kim." I say almost in a whisper.

"I know." She mumbles and looks away from my direction. "But Leah I love Marshall, we're meant to be." She looks at me and scans my eyes. It's like someone has kicked me in the stomach more than once. I shake my head and cover my face to hide my tears.

"The relationship with you and Marshall's in the past Kim, he doesn't have any feelings for you like he did when you were his girlfriend..it's the only nicest way I can say this, but he's moved on he doesn't love you..." I look up at Kim she looks hurt by my words but then her expression changes to anger.

"That's not what he said when he fucked me the other night, he couldn't stop telling me how he missed me and how no one understands him but me!" She snaps at me, her eyes filled with anger. "If he fucking loved you Leah, he would've told you the truth and forgot about me, but instead you're stupid friends told you about us and Marshall hasn't forgotten me, matter of fact he came around this morning and we had a nice long kiss" She finishes and smirks. I just stare at her, not knowing what to do or say.
