"Jarred are you OK" Leon said sadly; whiles stroking tears of my cheek
"Yeah am fine just had a flashback" I say mystified
"Which one" Leon says gently, whilst pulling me into an embrace
"The one about how my mum died" I say tragically; I take in a deep breath his sent of lavender, strawberry and his unique sent, which comforts and reminds me I am safe.

"I didn't get rid of the letter" I whisper in to Leons ear, I feel his body tens before he steps away. "Really, you still have that letter your mum wrote?" Leon said accusingly through gritted teeth
"Yeah" I reply confused about his reaction
"Ugh, I CANT BELIVE YOU HAD THE LETTER ALL THIS TIME. YOU COULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE POLICE. BUT INSTEAD YOU DIDN'T; CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE SO STUPID JARRED" Leon shout with anger, turns around and storms of.

I watch Leon leave. My chest became tight, as if someone had tide a rope around me to tightly. I gasp unable to breath. I have never made Leon this mad before, what if he never forgives me for being so stupid; breathing became impossible, my knees became week and I sank down onto the ground unable to stand.

I sat there for a long moment lost in my own thoughts; until my phone began to ring. I answer without checking the caller  ID  "hello" I say as I place my phone to my ear. "Jarred where are you dear, we have been waiting in the parking lot for 20 minutes know" Leons mum 'Susan' squeakt with worry through the phone at me.
"Sorry I will be there in a minute" I say as I stand up.
