Chapter Five

Christmas came and went.

Blake visited her during the festive season, and on the day itself, they chatted on video for hours.

There was plenty of time for him to play the practical joke on her, only, he never did. It would seem he was being truthful. The entire school was full of gossip the day they walked into the four walls, holding hands.

She’d seen the points, the whispers, and the occasional glare. Some of the girls weren’t happy that she was in Blake’s arm. Her life had changed a lot since she’d put a strike through the no on the letter he’d left for her.

In one of the classes she didn’t share with Blake, his friend John, the guy in question, took the seat right beside her. She glanced toward him with a frown. Even though she and Blake had been dating for a couple of months now, John hadn’t pressed to become friends with her. She was more than okay with that.

“Hey,” she said.

“So, are you just keeping my boy on a leash? Or is this thing you’ve got going real?”

“Excuse me?”

“Don’t give me that shit. I see the way Blake is with you. I get why you’d be hesitant at first. The guy was a giant dick to you. I do get it, but come on. He’s proven to you time and time again that this isn’t a joke and yet, all I see is him constantly bowing down to you. He makes sure you’re okay. I think it’s wrong.”

“This is none of your business,” she said.

“Damn right it’s my business. He’s my best friend and for three years I had to watch him pine all over you. Believe me, that wasn’t pretty to watch. I get that he was mean to you, but he hasn’t been with anyone, Leah. Three years ago, I don’t know what you did, but he wants you. All the rumors you hear about him with the chicks, those are all lies. He only wants you, and I’m looking out for my boy. Now are you going to continue to be a bitch to him, or are you going to act like a real girlfriend?”

She stared at him. “Three years?”

“Yep. He told me everything, and he told me to stay out of his plan to win you over. He fucked up and he knows it. You’ve got to stop hanging the fact he hurt you over his head. I know he hates it. Give him a real chance. One where you see yourself with him because that’s all Blake sees. Speaking of futures, he’s undecided about what college to go to. He’s had multiple offers, but he wants to go wherever you go.”

She licked her lips, feeling her cheeks heat.

“You can thank me at another time.” John got to his feet. “Just stop treating him like he’s going to hurt you any second. He’s not. He loves you, but he’s afraid to freak you out.”

He moved away, leaving her alone with her thoughts. Class went by way too fast.
