Skinny love // J.P.

Chapter 8

Leah's POV

I look outside and see Joel pull up into his driveway. I need to talk to him about the girl he slept with. I need to sort things out with him.

I quickly run down my stairs and outside over to Joel's house. I knock on his car door and see him look at me in shock before getting out of the car.

"Uh hey Leah, what's up?"

I put a finger up and take a moment to catch my breath from running across the street. I need to start working out.

I catch my breathe and straighten myself up.

"I need to talk to you. About lunch today"

"Okay, what about lunch?"

"I saw you text that girl after she walked away. So you like her?"

"Why do you even care? It's none of your damn business"

"Well as one of your close friends I'm just a little curious"

"No no no, you're just jealous. Jealous that I found someone better than you. You're jealous that you're not her. I get it. Well tough Leah, find someone else"

"What I-"

"No I don't want to hear it. Just get out of my life"

A feeing of hurt washed over my body as I walked back to my house. What is he doing to me?

Joel's POV

I watch as the blonde girl swayed her hips back and forth to the music. She did it so easily and beautifully. Did I really love her? No..but she was a good fuck. I loved leah, but she was just so modest and I needed to get my mind of my parents. I usually forget about things by fucking someone or drinking.

"Come here" i instructed the blonde girl and with an oh-so-sassy walk she walked over to me.

I took another drink of vodka as the girl got on her knees in front of me, I smirked and closed my eyes.

Leah's POV

Eric and I have already finished our science project, however we still go to each other's house everyday.

Right now we're at his house just playin around and hanging out.

"Hey do you mind if I invite some of my friends over?" Eric asked randomly.

"Yeah sure, I don't mind"

"Okay thanks, I'm gonna call them right now" he started going up his stairs as we were in his basement to call his friends. I then remembered that he was on the football team, does this mean they'll be a bunch of jocks here? Ugh...

Honestly, after all Tyler has done for me lately I'm okay with hanging out with jocks for him. He's helped me get over Joel slightly. Every time I hang out with him my mind stops thinking about Joel. I appreciate that he hasn't tried anything on me and that he is listens really well and understands me. He also gives great advice.

"Okay they're ontheir way right now, they live about 5 minutes away so they'll be here pretty soon" Eric said walking in and we started talking again.

•••

Soon enough his friends came over and we were all hanging out. They were all pretty nice and I've seen them around before so they weren't extremely unfamiliar.
