7:30pm Thursday March 27th 2017
Patrick was sitting barefoot in the sand at the beach, he had invited Leni to come.
He was about to break up with her.
He made the decision the night prior and texted her asking if they could talk.
He decided that is was the best thing to do, he couldn't interfere with her and Jack's relationship any longer.
Despite being in love with her.
She had told him that she also wanted to talk to him.
As he sat waiting for her to arrive he started to question if what he was going to do was the right thing.
He heard light footsteps walk towards him, turning his head he saw Leni sit down next to him.
.......
Patrick had texted her about an hour ago to meet her at the beach at 7:30pm, Leni was hoping she would be able to tell him that she and Jack had made up.
She also wanted to tell Pat that she was in love with him.
Leni had gotten used to the moon boot and the pain had eased up quite a bit which was a pretty good sign of her ankle healing. She had a doctors appointment recently and they said she hopefully wouldn't need the boot much longer.
The AFLW season had finished with the girls 4th on the ladder which wasn't too bad for their first season.
......
Turning to face her he took in her facial features up close for what would most likely be one of the last times, he quickly leaned in and pressed a small kiss to her lips making her laugh slightly.
Her Laugh
That was one of the things he would miss the most. It was angelic and always made him smile. He didn't want to put himself in front of her relationship with her cousin though so he knew he had to do what he was about to do.
"So why'd you invite me here?" She asked looking at him with a smile
"Just needed to talk to you about something"
"Oh okay, I wanted to talk to you as well. You go first" Leni said admiring him in the setting sun
Looking down at his lap Pat started to really think about what he was about to say, he nearly stopped himself but deep down he knew that he shouldn't be stopping her and Jack from getting along.
Deciding that he was doing what was best for her he began to speak
"Alright so, I didn't want to have to do this but we should break up" Pat told her
Pulling an asshole move he got up and walked away knowing that if he saw her face he would regret it and want to go back to her.
He was in love with her after all
.......
As he walked away Leni was left sitting in shock and sadness, he had just broken up with her.
Leni was planning to tell him that she loved him.
Instead he had broken her heart, just like Jack said he would.
Slowly the tears starting leaking out of her eyes, what was she supposed to do now?
As she sat on the sand letting the tears roll down her cheeks her night got even worse, it started with a few drops but eventually it was bucketing down with rain. Leni was soaked but couldn't bring herself to move.
She didn't know why he had broken up with her.
Was it something she said?
Was it something she did?
Was it just her in general?
Leni didn't know. She didn't know if she wanted to either. The time was passing by quickly but she didn't notice, the rain hadn't slowed in fact it had to not gotten heavier, Leni had been sitting out on the beach in the rain processing what Patrick had said to her for about an hour.
She had told Jack she would be back by 8 and it was now 8:30, Leni didn't notice that her phone had been blowing her up with calls and texts from Jack, the rest of the quartet, Bella, Darcy and Cassie.
........
It was dark by now and Leni was still sitting on the beach, the tears had subsided about half an hour ago but the emotional pain was still there.
Leni heard someone calling her name in the distance, as she looked to her left she saw Jack walking along the beach looking around most likely for her.
"Here" She croaked, her voice still sounded like she had been crying
When he heard he walked over to see his cousin with tear stains down her face and soaked in rain
"Come on let's go home, then you can tell me what happened, Cassie, Darcy and Bella are all at the apartment" Jack said helping her up and leading her to the car
"You were right" She mumbled as they drove home making Jack quite confused but he decided he would wait until they got home for her tom explain.
......
When the two walked in only Bella, Darcy and Cassie were there
"Did the guys go home?" Asked Jack as he guided Leni to the couch
"Yeah they said they'd call later though" Bella said as the girls went over to Leni
"Hey Len, how about you go put on some dry clothes then we can talk" Suggested Cassie softly
Leni nodded in response before standing up and walking to her room.
She felt numb.
Leni didn't know why he broke up with her.
She was in love with him.
Leni changed into her pjs and put her phone on charge before walking back out and lying on the couch, she put her head in Cassie's lap and stayed quiet until Bella spoke.
"What happened?" She asked with a concerned look on her face, Darcy and Bella were also sitting on the couch and Jack was sitting on the floor in front of it
"We broke up" Leni mumbled, moving her head to Cassie's chest
"What"
"Why"
"Did he break up with you because if so I will kill him" Jack threatened
"No don't do that" She sighed
"Can I ask what happened?" Cassie said
"Well he invited me to the beach saying we needed to talk and I was like Okay because I wanted to tell him that Jack and I made up." Leni began to say all 4 of the people around her listened intently
"He spoke first and said that we should break up and I sat in shock for a second and then he walked away. I just kinda sat there and cried a bit then it started raining and I didn't see or hear the texts and calls. So yeah" Leni explained hurriedly, She didn't realise that a couple of tears had fallen
"That motherfucker" Jack muttered angrily standing up grabbing the car keys off the bench before storming out the door.
Leni didn't have anytime to tell him not to leave so instead just looked at the door he had slammed shut.
"Do you want to call your mum or Jo or your Nonna?" Asked Darcy in a soft tone
"Yeah I'll call them quickly and tell them what's happened" Leni sighed getting off the couch and going to her room to call them.
