Leslie POV:

We got home from the shopping centre & it was maybe 6pm. I walked in the door & Dan went & sat on the couch. I went in the room & threw on a shirt of his & some shorts before joining him in the living room. We watched Adventure Time for like an hour & I went to make dinner. Once I got in the kitchen I left it because I'm too tired to cook. I ordered some pizza & grabbed my laptop. I logged onto Facebook & messaged the 3 guys. Phil, PJ & Chris. Almost instantly PJ replied.

Hey Les, how's America? -PJ

Cold, but thankfully I have Dan to keep me warm right c; -Leslie

I don't want to know about your sex life Leslie -PJ

Oh please -Leslie

Whatever man. I gotta go, Chris, Phil & I are going to some weird place. Byee xx -PJ

I logged off Facebook & shut off my laptop setting it on the coffee table.

Knock Knock

"I'll get it" Dan said standing up

"Alright" I said flicking through the channels. We had free cable, the owner of the building paid for it, which I was thankful for.

I didn't know what was taking Dan so long. He stepped outside, which I don't understand. It's just the pizza guy. Maybe a weird British thing people do? Idk. I got up & looked through the peephole. My heart dropped to my stomach. Dan was.. kissing the pizza delievery girl? But why? I.. I thought he loved me. I looked away immedietly. I went & sat back on the couch swallowing the lump in my throat, pretending I didn't see anything. When Dan walked in he looked normal. I got up & put some sweat pants & boots & walked out the door without saying a word. I didn't take my longboard for once. Right now I just needed to walk. As far away as possible.

I don't know how I ended up here, but there I was. Standing on the beach where Dan asked me to be his girlfriend on Christmas. I collapsed & fell on the sand crying my heart out. What did I do wrong? Why didn't he love me anymore? Did I do something wrong? I felt sick. I got up and I ran. I ran as fast as possible. There was only one place I could go.

I knocked on the door anxiously. Tears still silently falling from my eyes. The door opened & I was greeted with a big smile from Callie, but her smile faded as soon as she saw me crying. She pulled me in and sat me on the couch. She brought me some tea which I drank trying to calm down.

"Oh my Leslie, what happened?"

"D.. Dan" I hiccuped. "He- He kissed another girl"

"HE WHAT?!" Callie nearly yelled.

"I don't know what happened. He was getting the pizza from the delivery girl & I was wondering what took him so long, so I- I checked through th- the peephole & saw him sucking f- face with her."

"Oh honey. I'll give him a call later & yell at him. Stay here for now, okay? Go get some sleep. You can call in sick to work tomorrow from my phone as I assume you don't have yours on you."

I nodded & walked into Dan's old room. Callie gave me an air mattress & I blew it up before grabbing a pillow & a comforter & going to sleep.

I woke up the next morning feeling empty & alone. I remembered what happened & I wanted to stay in bed forever. Then I remembered I had work. Shit.

I shot up & ran to the living room.

"Don't worry Leslie, I called Starbucks & told them you were feeling extremely ill & needed the day off. I also called Dan after you fell asleep. I suggest you go see him. He has some explaining to do." Callie said.

I nodded, sniffling & walked back in the room. I laid under the comforter cuddling the pillow. I would go later. Honestly, I did feel sick. I ran to the bathroom & threw up. I sat in front of the toilet for 10 minutes before flushing & walking to the kitchen getting myself a glass of water.

"I'm sorry if I'm becoming a bother. I'll be leaving in a few minutes. I just needed some water because I was sick."

"Don't worry Les, you know you're always welcome here!" Callie said getting up & giving me a hug. I loved Callie, she was like my real mom. She cared for me.

"Steve will be over in a little bit. He's moving in here with me so he's bringing some of his things here" Callie said smiling

"Well I'm glad, you deserve to be happy Callie! I'm actually about to leave. I guess I should talk to Dan.." I said looking down.

"Alright, well if you need somewhere to stay in case things don't work out & you need a break, you are welcome here. I love you okay. Don't think you're ever a bother to me. You are like my second child Leslie. Even though that would be weird considering you're dating my son.." Callie said trying to cheer me up.

I giggled, thanked her & hugged her before making my way back to the apartment. On the way there I kept thinking of what to say. Eventually I got there. I stood in front of the door for about 5 minutes. The memories.. more like nightmares, of last night came flooding back in. I nearly ran away crying but I had to go in there & face it. Even as much as I didn't want to. I set my hand on the door knob thinking. I turned it & slowly opened the door. I wanted to run away at the sight. Dan was on the couch. On the other end was the girl. The girl he kissed. I felt a lump rising in my throat. I gulped it down. Now I was boiling with anger. Before Dan could open his mouth to explain, I burst.

"What the fuck?! So first you go on and suck face with this bitch whom I don't even KNOW. Then when I come back so you could explain, you bring her back here?! What are you thinking? Are you trying to make me jealous. Maybe my parents were right. Nobody wants me. I can't believe the nerve you have doing this Dan. What the fuck is your problem. And who the fuck are you? And why are you here? You two are pathetic. I hope you two are happy. Go ride off into the sunset with each other." I said storming off into the room. I threw off Dan's shirt, put on one of mine, grabbed my bag & threw most of my clothes into it.

"Look.. I can explain" said the girl from behind me

"Fuck off" I scowled at her.

I grabbed the rest of my things & pushed her into the door frame walking out the front door not even looking at Dan. They both kept calling after me trying to explain but I wasn't having any of it. I took my phone & called Callie to tell her I was coming over for a while. She didn't have a problem with it.
