Truth of Falling

15 | The Note

I feel a light tap on my shoulder causing me to look up.

"Millie why are you sitting in the corner of the room on a bench all alone?" Lucas holds out a red solo cup towards me letting me take it into my hands.

I give him a confused look, I wanna ask what was going on by the punch bowl because earlier when I walked over there I spot him with two other people who I'm pretty sure were all arguing with each other.

"I was just waiting for you but you took so long and then my feet got tired from walking and standing around so I just needed to take a quick break and decided to sit down." I take a huge sip from the cup of punch Lucas handed me.

"Oh, there was a long line at the punch bowl but since I am back do you care to dance? Or are your feet still tired?" He sticks out his hand wanting me to grab ahold of it. I swallow the rest of the punch down my throat and I take his hand firm in my grip.

"Lead me to the dance floor." I give out a low chuckle following Lucas's lead.

I feel the sun shining on me through my window. Which means it's a new day and time to get up.

I wish I could sleep longer but I have things I got to figure out.

I look over to my nightstand and it's currently nine forty one.

Perfect.

I get out of bed and put on black sweatpants, a teal t-shirt that says Hawaii on it in white print. I slip on my white vans along with my grey jacket.

I grab the note and my phone, shoving them both into my pocket, rushing downstairs into the kitchen to grab a fruit cup out of the fridge to eat real quick and then I head out to my car.

I need to go talk to Leila. It's my only chance to find out some explanation for this note.

The Graes.

I read the sign in front of their house.

Why am I doing this again? Leila completely hates me. I don't blame her though. But I have no choice if anyone knows information it's her.

I walk to the front door and knock.

After a few moments someone finally opens the door and luckily it's Leila. I can tell the sound of the knocking woke her up. Her blonde hair is a mess and she is in fuzzy pajamas. She rubs her eyes and looks out the door and realizes it's me. She stands up straight, staring at me with a disgusting look.

"I told you to never come back, so what are you doing here?" She is trying her best to have a stern tone but her voice is still so quiet from trying to wake up

"I need to talk to you." Leila opens the door more

"Fine. My parents aren't home so you have five minutes. Make it quick." She crosses her arms while still staring at me

"I was hoping you could tell me more information about this." I pull out the note from my pocket and hand it to her.

She carefully takes it from me and unfold the paper and begins to read the words. She has no reaction to the note instead she fold its back up and hands it back to me.

"I'm not sure who wrote it but I have a good idea of who, but If you don't know then you're dumber than I thought but now if you would excuse me I would like to go back to bed." Without anymore words she slams the door on my face.
