#Chapter247
/"He didn’t exactly push her off, the way Jake would for you. No beat it or fuck off, he just stood there watching her gyrating at him with her hands on his chest. Then it hit me, if I wasn’t there then he would’ve totally fucked her./" She brings a red-rimmed set of heartbroken eyes to me and I sigh. I know how soul destroying that kind of insecurity can be. Hunter probably wasn’t even aware of the affect his indifference to the girl had on Leila.
/"I know he wouldn’t have. You’re not giving him a chance, Leila. You’re so sure he’s going to disappoint you and hurt you that you’re looking for fault. Looking to push him away./" I take her hand in mine, trying for mature and direct. Sarah can be the soft one, I need Leila to see sense.
/"Did you confront him?/" Sarah is watching her with the same expression as me, maybe she’s decided logical is the best route too.
