Define love. || Young Leonardo Dicaprio

Chapter 23

McKennas pov

"Kenna" I heard a soft spoken voice. I looked up to see Leo, his eyes now Grey again and his face washed with sadness. I paused for a moment just staring into his soul. I jumped up ever so quick and wrapped my arms around his torso, him doing the same without hesitation. I felt a tear fall onto my head while I sobbed. He rubbed my back

"I'm not going anywhere, it was all acting ok"

"Please don't leave me. That hurt way to much it felt so real, I don't ever wanna be without you. I miss us being best friends. Just please Leo" he kissed my head as a response to my ramble and hugged tighter. Wait didn't he show everyone that photo of me almost naked? Why am I like this

I pulled back and looked at him now frowning he gave me a sympathetic smile. I brought my hands up and started hitting him in the chest. He was a bit taken back on the sudden change of mood

"Why *hit* did *hit* you *hit* do *hit* that?" I gave him a final push and stepped back and crossed my arms

"Do what Kenna?" He asked curiously almost whispering

"Why would you show everyone that photo Leo" I said as I started to cry again.

"I didn't..." I turned around away from him and wiped my eyes. He put his hands on my shoulders to spin me around.

"You've got to trust me on this Kenna I would never ever do that to you" he put his finger under my chin to force me to look at him. His eyes were really watery I felt obliged to trust him. No, no, I do trust him despite our past

"Ask any of the guys, Jesse was the one who showed us the picture, I mean I already knew about it but everyone saw it because of him" I made eye contact to show interest

"But I saw it on your screen, it was your phone?" I said questionably

"No it wasn't, see my phone case is dark green" he said as he showed me his phone. I'm so stupid. Does that mean he didn't do anything wrong?

I fell back onto the wall and slid down it. Leo following me as he sat next to me. He brought out a pack of cigarettes and put one in his mouth. Lighting it up as we sat in silence stuck in thoughts.

I just couldn't comprehend why Jesse would do that to me. We've been close the last month until that kiss happened. Did he do it out of spite? How did he get the picture to begin with?

"Ava sent it to him" Leo spoke up as if he read my thoughts "and you're not going to like this..." I perked my head up waiting for him to continue.

"He knows about Baz being your father...Ava must've told him, he was being cheeky and said I was in love with my stepsister" he scoffed as he took a drag on his smoke. Wait did he say inlove? Was it true? My heart started racing what would i do with that type of information

"I fucking hate him, I'm sorry" I nodded slowly. I looked at him as he blew out a cloud of smoke. I see the cut on his cheek and ran my hands along the wound. He winced as it must have stung him

"Did you get in a fight with Paul?" He was able to chuckle at the question but he shook his head

"No, when I got back to the bar I forced Jesse to delete the messages and the photos...he punched me and then Paul thought it was a good idea to punch Jesse"

"Paul?!" I said in shock

"I know I know, I was surprised too but you should see the damage he did" I nodded thoughtfully

"So the photos?"

"All gone... I can't promise you that Ava hasn't already sent it out to a whole lot of people though" he frowned. I was surprised that all of this has effected him as much as it did to me
