Part 24

***Leah's POV***

"We need to talk..." Connor tells me

"Do you want the bad news or good news first?" he asked me

"Bad" I staid so the good could cheer me up

"JC" Connor said

"Remember when I shot your dad?" JC said mellowly

"Yeah." I remembered the gunshot then I saw the boys dragging my dad outside for the paramedics

But I didn't the actual gunshot but I know JC would've died if he didn't shoot my dad

"Well I shot him in his stomach and he died on his way to the hospital," JC said slowly.

At the moment I'm not sure how to feel about what happened.

I don't know how to feel: relieved or sad or mad at JC.

The rational side of me says to be happy because he can't get to me anymore.

But the daughterly side of me tells me to hate JC and be sad that my dad died.

I just dont know what to feel at the moment

"I'm gonna go up to my room" I tell the boys

After I say that I get showered with "I'm sorry"s and "it's ok to feel bad but its for the best"

I honestly feel emotionless like a robot going to her room to do what is programmed into her.

I cant go to sleep because today's events just flash through my mind some parts in fast motion some in excruciating slow motion.

I finally give up

I go into my bathroom and get my blade from under the counter i had it taped there

I take 2 breath then start to bring the blade to my skin but at that moment I remember

FLASHBACK

I was walking down the stairs with Sam after he told he'd be there for me

"Leah promise me if you even think about cutting, call me. I'd put down anything for you."

I put the blade on the counter and grab my phone of the charger

By now I'm in silent tears I dont want the boys to hear me

Only Sam understands

Ring ring ring

S. Yellow?

L. S-sam

S. LEAH are you ok

L. No can y-you come o-over p-please

S. Of course, be there in 5

L. Oh Sam

S. Yeah

L. Tell the boys you brought me tampons they don't know about what I'm gonna tell you

S. Ok but it will be awkward

L. Please

S. Fine see you soon

END OF CALL

About 5 minutes I hear a knock on the door

"Who is it?"

"TAMPON MAN"

I open the door and hug Sam

It's so comforting being in his arms.

"Leah please tell me you haven't cut again" he pleads

"I haven't now close the door"

He closes the door and sits on my bed

He checks my arms tracing my old scars that are usually covered by bracelets

"My dad is dead" i say trying had not to cry

"Why are you sad? He hurt you" Sam says

"It's just he's my dad and a part of me wants to hug him and a part of me wishes I was the one who pulled the trigger" I say in tears

"I almost cut but I remembered what you said about week after I came about 3 or so years ago that you'd be there, so I called you I didn't know what else to do I'm sorry" I fell into his arms.

(Im 17 he's 19)

"It's ok I wasn't doing anything important anyway."

I look up and he does to then I realise we are both leaning in but I don't try and stop it

The moment out lips touch its like the grand finale fireworks

No words can describe it, except perfect

I finally felt ok

I finally felt safe
