Chances

Chapter 7

I didn't speak the whole way home, I just cried, Jordi had drove us home because he could drive, he'd taken us to Leo's  house because his parents were out sand Charlie was staying round, "Take me home" I mumbled "Amber it's late and cold and your in a state, I'm not letting you go home like this tonight, you and Leah can stay here, you can have the spare room and Charlie and Leah can have s sofa each" Leo replied.

Leah's POV:
We got back to Leo's and walked in, Amber told him she wanted to go home but I'm guessing she gave in, I didn't hear the rest of if, Charlie had taken me upstairs to show me where I could get changed, I was in shock, I've never been more scared in my entire life than that moment, it was like, everything was in slow motion and my bestfriend was in front of a car, I felt so pointless and useless, I didn't help. Why didn't I help? All I could do was stand still. What kind of best friend watched their best friend infront of a car, I was sat on the end of the spare bed watching Charlie get his clothes out to sleep in and I just started to cry,
"Heyy sshh it's okaay, it's gonna be okaay, what's wrong" Charlie asked calmly as he put his arms around me and pulled me to his chest,
"I-I-I thought she was going to- to-" I couldn't finish my sentence and started to cry even more "She's okaay Leah, she's going to be okaay she's just mad at Leo and a bit shaken up, you did all you could" Charlie said, "no no I didn't, I just watched, I feel so awful Charlie, I hate it, I hate me" I cried into his chest
"Don't you dare say that, you are amazing and caring and loving Leah, Amber knows that and she knows you did what you could, you was scared and didn't know how to comprehend what was happening, but it's okaay now, your both safe, your both here and I've got you, now, why don't you go and get changed and I'll meet you back in here okaay?" I nodded my head and sat up and wiped my eyes, I kissed Charlie's cheek out of reflex, what he'd just said was so sweet and I didn't know what else to do, he handed me one of his hoodies from his bag and some sweats that he had with a tie band round the middle so I could pull them to fit my waist, I took them into the bathroom and put them on, took off my makeup and tied my hair up into and messy bun, pulled on some fluffy socks and walked out to meet Charlie, he was wearing a slightly oversized white tee and some grey sweats with plain white socks, his hair was messy, he looked like he'd been running his hand through it constantly, we just sat down and waited for a while until it seemed okaay to go downstairs and Amber to come up.

Ambers POV:
"But Leo, I I don't understand, how could you?" I tried to get my words out preoperly but it just didn't happen, "please babygirlets not talk about this tonight, You need to get some sleep, you've had a rough night and I'm so sorry for that it's my fault and I know that, but you're cold and tired and shook from the car so please just get some rest so we can talk about this in the morning when we can both think straight" I nodded my head unsure of how to answer, he threw me one of his shirts and I ran upstairs and put it on as I grabbed the pyjama shorts out of my bag and put them on, i walked into the spare room to find Leah and Charlie say on the bed scrolling through their phones, Leah looked up at me concerned, "Amber!" She stood up and ran over to me engulfing me in a hug, "I'm so sorry I didn't do anything, I was so scared are you okaay??" She asked as she pulled away, "it's okaay don't worry honestly, I understand, and I'm okaay i just need some sleep, I'll talk to you in the morning, I love you Leah" she smiled back at me, "I love you too" she hugged me again and her and Charlie walked out, I went over the bed and climbed into bed switching off the light, I layer in bed for a while unable to sleep when I heard the door open, "Amber, you awake?" I head a whisper, I knew it was Leo but I just pretended to be asleep I didn't want to talk to him right now, I felt him close the door and sit next to me on the bed, I felt him look down at me "Amber, I know you're asleep but I'm going to say it anyway, I'm so so sorry about everything, I know what I did was wrong but she just came on to me and I don't know what happened but I just went with it and I know it's no excuse but..God I hope you can forgive me, see the thing is, everyone sees me as this popular bad boy but..I don't feel like that right now, not when I'm with you, when I'm with I become this little school boy who gets lost for words and can't manage to say what he feels, what I'm trying to say is, I think..oh my god. I love you Amber" he learned down and kissed me, I felt his tears on my face and I just lay there in shock, I opened my eyes as he walked out closing the door behind him, oh my god. Leondre Devries just said he loved me.

(Authors note:Ooooo I don't even know what to say about this, but hope you enjoyed😂-Leah xx)
