Leo & the 1

The secret

Leo's p.o.v

Its half hour before we leave for the concert. We've calmed Bella down now. We're sitting down silently. Im staring at Bella. She's just so beautiful, with her ginger hair and her freckles. She looks over, and I turn away feeling my face burn up. Tell her. Charlie sneaks up on me and says. Tell her? I.Idont know what youre on about. I stutter. He knows. How? I know you like her. He says. Oh. How?

Leo, I can read you like a book. He smiles.

Ok ok, i'll tell her.

Bella? Can I talk to you a sec? I ask her. Sure she answers.

What is it? She groans. I can tell she has a headache.

I love you. I say.

What was that? I cant hear with this thumping headache.

I said I love you. I say again, but louder. Leo, I still cant hear you.

I said- I cut off with nerves. Oh you know what, i'll write it down. I write it down & pass her the note.

Bella's p.o.v

He passes me the note. It reads- 143. Im shocked. Im speechless for once.

Guys, come on- we have to go. Blair calls. Okay. We all say In unison & leave for the gig.
