Chpater 397
I wasn't nervous but I felt sick. I hadn't spoken to my gran in months. To send a random message out of the blue was weird but it did have my mind working overtime. What could she possibly want to see me about?
She left me the house, gave me a ton of money. Maybe she was feeling guilty for up and leaving me?
I pulled my socks and shoes on before heading back downstairs. I was in the shower longer than usual, but it washed the tiredness away and I felt better for it. "Did you call her?". Jake asked.
"Not yet". I shook my head pouring myself some coffee. "I'm not scared to call her, but what reason could she have for wanting to see me?".
"You won't know unless you call her babe". He kissed the top of my head. "But no matter what I've got you".
"I know". I picked up the phone searching through it for her number. "What if it's something bad?".
"Leah". He sighed.
"Okay, okay". I tapped the number and put the phone to my ear.
Three rings before she answered or should I say before George answered. Remember George? The nice man that came into our lives and suddenly everything changed. "Hello?". He spoke.
"Is my gran there?". No pleasantries, no nothing because maybe he was the reason she was no longer in my life. Or maybe my over exaggerated mind was working too hard. "Ah, Leah, nice to hear from you. She's in the garden just give me a second".
I took a sip of my coffee and sat at the table. I could feel Jake's eyes on me, but he said nothing. I knew he could hear everything that was going on. "Hello, Leah are you there?".
My throat became dry. It had been so long since I heard her voice. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss her. I tried my hardest to move on and pretend that it didn't affect me, but it did. She was the only parent I had until she wasn't.
She always said she was doing what was best for me, but I didn't believe that. Enjoy this chapter for free and stay updated with the latest version on Jo bnib.com. Don't miss out, visit it now. I could still have the best life with her in it. She didn't need to do all the things she did. She cut me out like it meant nothing.
"Oh, George I think I've hung up". I heard her say.
"No, I'm here". I cleared my throat. "I'm right here".
"Oh, Leah it's so good to hear your voice sweetheart".This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
The lump appeared in my throat, the wave of emotion coming over me as I felt the tears well in my eyes. I didn't prepare for this, didn't think this was how I would react.
"Is everything okay?". I asked.
"Could we meet for coffee?". She asked. "That cute little spot we used to go to".
My eyes locked with Jake's, and he shrugged. She wanted to see me and there had to be a reason for that. Something she couldn't say over the phone or didn't want to say over the phone. Or she genuinely just wanted to see how I was doing?
"Okay". I spoke. "I'll meet you there within the hour?".
"Great sweetheart that's great. I'll see you soon". She ended the call, and I placed my phone down on the table.
"Do you think I should have said no?". I asked Jake.
"You wouldn't have said yes if you didn't want to see her. Go and see what happens and if you want to reconnect with her then do it. What's the worst that can happen?". "You're right but I don't think we can ever reconnect. It will never be the same between us. Too much has happened".
"Would you want your relationship back?". He asked.
I shrugged. "I was so angry with her but over time that's faded. She up and left me. Thrust me into a world that I didn't understand and expected me to be okay with it". "I know babe".
"I'm going to meet her for coffee but I'm not making any promises. Maybe one day we can reconnect and see what happens, but I don't think I'm ready for that right now".
I tried not to be angry with her but sometimes I couldn't. When I needed her the most, she left me. Yes, I was safe, but I needed her, I needed her, and she wasn't there. "How about I drive you and I'll wait in the car?". He offered.
"No, I'll be okay. You think of where you want to go for dinner tonight. I'm craving tacos just so you know".
"Tacos it is then". He winked. "Text me when you get there so I know you're safe".
"I'll leave soon. I did say within the hour, and I don't want to be there too early".
"Okay baby well I'm going to get a run in and hit the training ground for a bit. We've got new wolfs coming up and I want to see how they're getting on".
"I thought Jack was taking over for a bit?". I frowned.
"He was but we're not going to the cabin so there's no need. Besides I just want to see what's going on".
"Please don't miss dinner I really want to talk to you and spend time just us". When he went for a run or did anything for the pack, he always got held up or side tracked and usually wasn't home for hours. "I won't babe I promise".
