Drowning

Chapter 14:" She probably forgot her broom"

Leah's P.O.V.

The next morning everyone meets at my house at four in the afternoon, sharp. Well, almost everyone. Jade and Noah aren't here yet. Jen, Kyla and Stevie are sat in front of me on my porch steps with Aidan and Sebastian leaning on their cars. Ethan is pacing back and forth growing more annoyed by the minute. We all are, because we should've been on the road an hour ago.

Finally after an hour and a half's wait Noah's car pulls up my driveway.

When the car comes to a stop Noah emerges from his car with a sheepish smile plastered on his face.

"Hey guys." Noah walks toward us with caution but Jade remains seated in the passenger seat.

My eyes flicker from him to her as I narrow my eyes.

Noah lifts an eyebrow at my glare.

"Why are you so late?" Ethan asks with a sigh trying to keep his cool.

Noah swallows and says looking back over his shoulder," Jade forgot a few things."

I roll my eyes and mumble," She probably forgot her broom."

Everyone chuckles at my words except for Noah; he just has a small smile on his face.

"So who's riding with whom?" Stevie questions.

"Kyla, Sebastian, Jen and Ethan in Seb's car. Stevie, Aidan and I in Aidan's car. And last but not least Noah is riding with his lovely girlfriend." I say smiling as Noah narrows his eyes at me.

But no one argues and walks toward their bags to put them in the cars.

I get my bags and throw them in Aidan's car.

When all the cars are packed and ready to go, we finally get on the road.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

We've been on the road for almost two hours and I'm really starting to regret my decision to ride with Aidan and Stevie. I mean, I know you like each other but I'm still in the car. After what I've seen in these hours, I'm officially scared for life. I'm just kidding, it wasn't that bad but I'm still going to bleach my eyes when we get there.

We all agree to take a break at the gas station, because we needed to get some food for the rest of the trip and to stretch out legs.

As the car comes to a stop, I practically sprint out and into the bathroom. I know a gas station bathroom isn't ideal but when you have to go anything will do.

When I'm finally done I walk outside to see everyone leaning and standing around the cars.

As I approach I notice that Noah and Jade are nowhere to be found and my heart sank. I know they are going out but it still hurts, because I thought Noah and I had something as cliché as it sounds. I just hope that he is happy with her.

I laugh at everyone's sour expressions and question," Why the long faces?"

Ethan looks at me and sighs," Well Little Miss Bitch has been in the store for almost an hour."

"A whole hour, huh?" I ask with a sigh as Ethan nods.

So we wait for another two hours when she finally comes out of the store with an annoyed looking Noah behind her.

When his eyes come in contact with mine I almost fall over, because they are so beautiful. But I don't look away and neither does he. Even when Jade turned toward him to say something he kept his eyes on me.

I swallowed and flickered my eyes toward Jade.

"So, why did you take so long? Bought another broom?" I question smiling sweetly at her.

Jade rolls her eyes and says," No. I could just borrow yours."

"You do know you just called yourself a witch, right?" I question with a lifted eyebrow and a small smile.

Jade scowls at me as everyone laughs.

She makes eye contact with me and narrows her eyes. I tilt my head a little to the right and narrow my eyes at her in return.

"Okay, let's get going." Noah's voice brings me back from my fantasy about ways to kill Jade.

We climb in our cars and we're off.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

We finally make it to the beach house at ten pm.

Obviously we're all very tired so we quickly unpack the cars.

When we're all done we meet in the living room and Stevie asks," Where do we all sleep?"

"Well there are eight rooms." Aidan states.

I nod and say," Okay, there are four bedrooms upstairs and four downstairs. I think Kyla and Sebastian can share a room. Girls downstairs and boys upstairs." Everyone nods except for Jade.

"Why can't Noah and I share a room?"

I roll my eyes and walk past her, completely ignoring her question.

I make my way toward my room, the second one.

As I walk in I mentally freak out, because this room is amazing. The walls are brown and grey tile-rocks with cream colour wood floors. There are even floor-to-roof windows looking over the beach. And in the centre of the room sits a queen-sized bed with cream coloured bedding.

I sit my bags down in the corner and I walk to my bed, smiling.

I flop down onto it and I can feel the softness of the blankets and pillows.

Sleep almost encloses on me when suddenly my door bursts open and incomes Jen. She flops next to me.

"I love this house so fucking much." Jen whispers to me.

I laugh and nod," So fucking much."

Heyy there hot tea!!

I just want you guys to have an idea of how the scene between Noah and Leah. Just imagine them standing in front of this window.
