We walk into Hayley’s house; well, I say house but it’s a freaking mansion. It’s huge. Music is playing and you can hear the chatter all the way from the front door. Reeve still hasn’t let my hand go, so I look up at him and he smiles at me.

“Your family rocks by the way, pretty fucking cool.” He lifts my hand to his mouth and places a soft kiss on the back of it. He leads me into the large dining room, where everyone is sitting around a large table. Reeve lets my hand go just as we enter the room and I miss the heat from his hand instantly. He walks straight to his Mam and hugs and kisses her head. He goes around the table greeting everyone, while I just stand here like a freaking sad arse. Why do I feel like an outsider right now? Demi sees me and runs over to me.

“Auntie Leah, I so happy you are here. I can show you my new swimsuit for the car wash tomorrow.” With her words, everyone stops and looks at me. Even Reeve straightens up; the frown on his face showing that he forgot I was even here. Why has this day gone from bad to worse? Maybe this just wasn’t meant to happen between us; my heart sinks a little and tiny prickles run all over my skin as I fight back the tears. Demi tugs on my hand and leads me to the spot at the table where Letty and Ryder are sitting. Ryder slaps Reeve on the back of his head, hard I imagine, as Reeve is rubbing the back of his head.

“What the hell, bro? Why did you slap me?” He asks Ryder.

“Because dumbass, you left your girl standing in the doorway. Here Leah, you can sit in my seat.” I sit between Letty and Demi. Ryder mutters ‘asshole’ under his breath and Reeve just stares at me, like I have done something wrong. I think we are both to blame for this act.

“Why did you just stand there, Leah?” Wow, Leah.

“I don’t know, I kind of felt like I was intruding on family time,” I say, dropping my eyes to my hands in my lap. My stomach knots and I feel sick. I turn to Mama Phoenix, “Can I use the bathroom please?”

“Of course, Leah, honey you don’t have to ask. Let me show you where it is.”

“No, I will take her.”

“Reeve, I think it’s best if I take her, now stay here.” I can feel the burn starting in my nose, why the hell am I feeling like this? This is bloody stupid. I follow Hayley out of the room and leave all the curious eyes boring into the back of my head.

“In here, Leah. Honey, are you ok? You seem out of sorts.” I shake my head as a tear escapes down my cheek. Bugger. “Oh Leah, come on, follow me.” I follow her up the stairs and into a big, huge arse master bedroom.
