~ Brads POV ~
* earlier today *
I couldn't stop thinking about her. I mean, when I saw her in Starbucks, she looked beautiful. 'You don't even know my name, but I've been watching you for days sitting in the same corner table of the same café.' (Yes I just quoted my own song.) Brad snap out of it! You've got a girlfriend! All of a sudden, there were light knocks at the door. Molly jumped up and ran to the door excitedly. We heard giggles coming closer to the living room where we sat. "Guys, this is my new friend Leigha" Molly said. I couldn't believe my eyes.

*back to normal time*
~ Leigha's POV ~
We were currently sat playing 20 questions so they could get to know me better.

"Favorite song?" James asked.
"Do I Wanna Know by Arctic Monkeys" I replied, which I noticed, caused Brad to smile at my response.
"Relationship status?" Tris smirked
"Uh-uh s-single" I looked down embarrassed.
"Aww honey. Don't be embarrassed" said Lauren. "We'll all you guys are in a relationship, except Brad." "Actually I am in a relationship" Brad said. I felt a sudden pang of jealousy run through my veins. "O-oh sorry, I-I didn't know" I said feeling like a fool. "It's okay. Her name is Laura, you should meet her sometime I think you'd be great friends" he said while showing me a picture of them together. She is gorgeous! She has long chestnut brown curly hair, and brown eyes. Let's just say I could never compare to her, or Molly, Lauren, and Rachel. They're all perfect, and I'm far from it. "Yeah, that sounds nice" I said while putting on a fake smile. I didn't talk much the rest of the night, due to the fact that I had mixed emotions flowing through my body. Molly had asked me to stay the night, as Tris, Con, James, Brad, Lauren, and Rachel were all staying. I agreed, but I said that I was just going to run home and get clothes and other must haves. I was just about to walk out the door when I heard a faint "wait" come from the living room. I spun around on my heels and saw Brad rushing to the door. "Brad?" I questioned. "I'll walk you to your house" he smiled. "Oh, you really don't ha-" "I insist" he cut me off. "Okay" I said. We walked down the road and I rubbed my arms to keep warm. "Here" he said handing me his red harrington coat. "Are you sure?" I questioned. "Positive" he replied with a big toothy grin. I slipped the coat over my arms, feeling warmer right away. Once we reached my house Brad stood there awkwardly, while I walked up to the door. I opened the door and said "well are you coming?" "I can just wait out here" he responded. "No way, it's freezing out here! C'mon it's okay" I said laughing a little. Once he walked through the door, he shut it very carefully behind him. "Wow" he breathed out while looking around the house. "You're house is beautiful" he exclaimed. "Thanks Brad" I laughed. "Mom!" I yelled. "I'm in the living room" she yelled back. I walked in with Brad trailing behind. "Mom, this is Brad. Brad, this is my mom" I introduced. "Nice to meet you hun" my mom said. "You too.. Uh?.." he replied politely, not knowing my mom's first name. "Please, call me Elizabeth" she said. "So Leigha, you didn't tell me you had a boyfriend" my mom beamed. "That's because I don't have a boyfriend mom. Brad is just a friend. Besides he already has a girlfriend anyway" I muttered the last bit under my breath. "Oh sorry" my mom said. "Well, do you mind if I stay over at my friend Molly's house tonight? She lives just down the road" I asked pleadingly. "No of course I don't mind." "Thanks mom" i said after pulling her into a hug. "Right, so I'm just going to get some clothes, and then we'll be off" I said. "Okay honey." I pulled Brad up the stairs and into my room. "Maybe you should've just stayed outside, then my mom wouldn't have embarrassed me" I joked laughing a little. "How rude" Brad gasped putting his hand over his heart and pouting a little. I went to jokingly punch his arm but me being me, managed to trip over my own feet and fall into him. We looked into each other's eyes, and he started to lean in. I was really confused and caught up in the moment, but as soon as I remembered he had a girlfriend I restrained myself before our lips had the chance to meet. "I-I'm sorry" he said awkwardly scratching the back of his neck. "It's okay" I let out an awkward laugh trying to clear the tension but failed. Nice going Leigha. "Right, so I'm just going to get my stuff" I said. "Yeah, yeah of course." Wow this is really fun (note the sarcasm). I put extra clothes, make-up, toothbrush, hair brush and all of that jazz into my Vera Bradley (haha) backpack and we headed back downstairs. I said goodbye to my mom and we set off back to Molly's house. The journey back was silent, but not a comfortable, relaxing silence an ear-aching silence. Nonetheless, the walk went very fast. Once we walked into the house, we went straight to the living room. Everyone was on their phone, but there was an unfamiliar girl sitting on one of the sofas. "Laura" Brad choked out. The girl, as I now know to be Laura, ran up to Brad and gave him the biggest hug possible. Again jealousy shot through my veins, as tears pricked my eyes. I turned my head away, and ran out of the room in search of the bathroom. Once I found it, I shut the door and slid down it, tears now flowing freely down my face. I was ashamed of myself. I was crying over a boy I've known now for less than a day. I heard a gentle knock at the door, along with the sweet sound of, my now best friends, voices. "Leigha, honey. Can you please let us in." I stood myself up and opened the door. Molly, Lauren, and Rachel walked in and embraced me right away. "Aww Leigha, what's up" they all asked truly concerned. "I don't know what's wrong with me. I think I have feelings for Brad" I admitted. I had completely lost it now, tears were pouring from my eyes and soaking their shirts. "We almost kissed while we were at my house. But I didn't let that happen because I know he has a girlfriend and is happy with her" I sobbed. "Leigha, honey calm down okay? Everything will work itself out, I promise" Lauren reassured, with Molly and Rachel nodding in agreement. "Leigha, honestly I think Brad likes you. You should have seen his face light up when he saw you were here earlier" Rachel told me. "But he's with her" I cried. "Leigha, truthfully we aren't too fond of Laura. She always tries to take Brad away from us when we're all together. Also, she's really two-faced as well" Molly admitted. "I'm really glad I have friends like you to talk to" I said finally calming myself down. "We're always here for you, always remember that okay?" They said. I simply nodded as a reply. "Good. Now why don't we get you cleaned up? You're too pretty to cry, hun" Rachel soothed. I just smiled and nodded once again. Once I sorted myself out, we all went back to the living room. It killed me when I saw Laura sat on Brad's lap, the two of them cuddling. I quickly reverted my eyes and looked to my feet. "Hey, is everything alright?" James questioned causing Brad to jump up and run to me. "Leigha! Are you alright? You scared me" he said, his words rushed. "Yeah I'm fi-" "Brad! Why'd you leave" Laura butted in while walking up to him and connecting her lips with his. She looked at me out of the corner of her eye, while deepening the kiss. I just pushed past the two of them and sat down on the couch next to Molly, who gave me a weak smile and rubbed my shoulder reassuringly. Brad and Laura made their way back to the two-seater sofa, Brad giving me an apologetic look. "Why don't we watch a movie" Lauren suggested. There where various 'yeahs' and 'sure's' thrown around the room."Leigha, what'd you want to watch?" Tris asked. "Uhh, Mean Girls" I smirked. There were snickers coming from the girls and the boys, even Brad, but I received glares from Laura. I just ignored her though. Throughout the movie, I felt Brad's eyes on me the whole time. Wow this is going to be a long night.
