Breaking and Entering (Reece Bibby)

Chapter 13

 "No."

"No?" I looked at Reece, my eyes wide. "You can't just stop me from breaking up with you, Reece."

"I can when you're making the wrong decision." He argued, stepping closer to where I was standing next to his car.

"How can you say it's the wrong decision?" I could feel myself start to break down again but I choked back my sobs. All I wanted to do was run into his arms, but I stopped myself.

"Because I'm in love with you!" Reece yelled.

I stared at him, not sure what to say.

"I'm in love with you Ava." He stepped towards me, taking my hands in his. "I love the sound of your laugh. I love the look in your eyes when you've just woken up and you see me for the first time in the day. I love everything about you, Ava." Reece lifted my hands up, kissing them softly.

"Reece..." I looked at him sadly.

He leaned forward, pressing his forehead against mine. "Please don't. I can't lose you."

I sighed and moved my head back. "How would it possibly work?"

"Leave that to me." Reece cupped my face and pushed his lips to my forehead.

"You're going to London?" Leah looked at me, shock all over her face. "Are you mental?"

I sighed, twirling the noodles in my bowl. "It's not set in stone yet. And even if Reece does somehow figure it out, I'm not sure I'm gonna go."

"What!" Leah yelled, dropping her fork into her bowl of noodles, causing a piece to fly out and land on the table. "Are you crazy?"

"I'm confused. Am I supposed to be going to London or not?" I pushed the empty bowl in front of me. "Because first you said I was mental when I said I was going, and now crazy when I said I wasn't."

"I don't know what to think." She stood up abruptly and I turned so I was facing her. She began pacing back and forth, hands on her hips.

"Leah?" I asked, watching her face scrunch up in confusion. She ignored my question and continued to pace. "What are you thinking?"

She stopped, turned on one foot so she was facing me, and smiled. "Let's do it."

I stared at her, blankly. "Let's? You're coming with me?" I stood up, bringing my dish to the sink. I spun around and leaned against the island. "I'm beyond confused right now."

"Sorry, my mind kinda just jumped forward." She chuckled and I raised my eyebrows at her. "Right, well, here's my thoughts. There's no way you're going to want to live all three of those boys at once, and Reece won't be able to just move in with you. This means you'd have to live on your own and you won't be able to handle that."

I glared at her.

"You really think you could handle being alone in an apartment in an unfamiliar country in a completely different country when your boyfriend is at work all day?" She cocked her hip out, staring me down.

"Okay, fine, I would be more pathetic than I am now." I conceded, walking around the counter and hopping up onto it. "So what's your big plan, we get an apartment together?"

"That's exactly my plan!" Leah jumped up and down excitedly. "We can be roomies!"
I stared at her, shocked.

"What? Do you not want to live with me?" She gave me a sad look.

I jumped down off the counter. "No! But what about your family? And you're job?"

"The pub is not going to miss me. And as for my family, well, I'll visit. I've been wanting to move to London for so long and this is finally an opportunity to!"

"You want us to move to London jobless and depending on a group of teenage boys?"

"That is correct, yes." Leah smiled shyly.

I shook my head, smiling. "I'm in."

"Wait, really?" Leah grabbed my hands excitedly.

"We're going to London!" I screamed, starting to jump up and down excitedly.

Leah yelled along with me. "We don't have to break up with our boyfriends!" She started to jump with me.

"Ha!" I stopped jumping. "So you admit it. You and Blake are dating!" I grinned at her.

"Uhh." Leah smiled awkwardly, adjusting her glasses. "I should probably go tell my mum I'm leaving." She brushed past me, running straight out of my apartment.

I smiled once again before rushing over to my phone to tell Reece the new plan.
