If Only

Chapter Seven: The Devil Himself

Yet another chapter brought to you by me, Bethany. I really hope you enjoy and are all safe. Love you all.

Today is the day that I have been dreading since finding out. Today is Monday. My dad gets here during the day while I'm at school which I am happy about, I don't have to see him all day.

I walk out of the house saying bye to my mum, she isn't dropping me off at school because Leo is picking me up. It is nice to have him around and I really like him. Have I mentioned that I really like him? Ugh, Bailey you promised yourself no boys for a while and you are what? Madly in love?

I get into his car and am greeted with a kiss. His lips connect with mine and I feel electric waves flow through my body. Nobody has ever made me feel this way and I don't want it to end.

"Good Morning beautiful." He says to me as we part and he starts the car.

"Morning."

We arrive at school in a short period of time and we walk together hand in hand to my locker. When we get there we have another passionate kiss and he goes off to his locker and to do his own thing. I really like that he doesn't pry and isn't needy. It definitely makes our relationship a hundred times better.

I grab out my english book and out my bag in my locker. I shut the door and got the fright of my life.

"What the hell Grace? You scared me." I say as my hand goes straight to my heart. I have no idea why people do that, it's not like it does anything.

"So, how is Leo?" She asks and all i do is smile, he is amazing and i couldn't wish for anyone better.

"Great." That's all I say because I didn't feel like going into complete detail.

"Well you guys look great together. Peter's missing out." Yes she knows about Peter.

"Now we should get to the homeroom the bell's about to ring. I'll see you in english."

With that we part ways.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The day went way too fast for my likings, I'm in my last period and the bell is about to ring. As I wait for it I'm trying to think of a way to avoid going home. I know, starbucks, I'll tell her i need to work on some school stuff. I really don't care if she says no, I'm not grounded and I am definitely not coming home as soon as possible. My plan is to stall and try to get home as late as possible.

Me: Hey mum I'm going to go to Starbucks this afternoon to do some of my english assignment.

Well at least I wasn't lying to her, I will work on my english.

Birth Giver: I really think It's best if you come straight home, your father will probably get angry.

Me: To be honest mum, I don't care at all he can be as mad as he wants at me. You can tell Seth that I'll be home when I'm ready.

Birth Giver: Please Isla it is really awkward here and he really wants to see you.

Me: Oh God, he hasn't wanted to see me in years, what's changed mum? Tell him that i am an adult and if he wanted to boss me around he should've stuck around.

Birth Giver: He wants to apologise to you he really is sorry.

Me: He can stick that apology where the sun don't shine and go back to where he came from.

Birth Giver: ISLA!!! Don't talk like that.

Me: You know it is true so don't defend him.
