chapter seventy-six; real life

It was late at night, and Leanna was sitting on the couch, her phone in hand. She was staring at the screen in disbelief, unable to process what she was seeing. The small video keeps playing, and the more it plays, and more her heart breaks.

"I have your tea."

Emily comes into the room, her face dropping when she sees Leah.

"What's going on?"

Leah shakes her head, knowing she would cry if she tried to say anything.

"Talk to me."

Leah still doesn't say anything, making Emily look down at the phone that was now on the couch. She picks it up, her eyes widening at what's on the screen.

"I'm going to kill him."

She stands up, walking towards the door and putting her shoes on. She was furious at what she had just seen.

Furious at herself for not seeing this beforehand. She's always been good at picking things like this up, and when it happens, she quick to talk about it.

"Emily?"

Leah was turned towards her, her hand resting lightly on her bump.

"I'm sorry."

"I should be the one that talks to him."

"You don't have to."

"Besides, I need clothes. None of yours are going to fit me considering I'm pregnant."

"Are you sure you want to go?"

Leah nods, getting up off of the couch and walking towards the door. She still had her shoes on, as she had only been there for a few minutes.

"I'm here!"

George walks into the flat, oblivious to everything going on.

"Why does everyone look so angry?"

"Blame your friend."

Leah walks towards the table, grabbing her purse.

"Reece? What did Reece do?"

Emily walks towards George, shaking her head.

"It's not good."

"What do you mean 'it's not good'? I was just with him!"

"Well clearly you weren't there long enough to stop him from kissing some other girl!"

He stares at the two.

"Reece did what now?"

"I was just sent a video of him and some blonde kissing."

"I'm confused."

"Yea, well me too!"

"Let me see it."

Leah pulls her phone out of her pocket, clicking on the video.

"That's Emma."

"Emma?"

"His ex."

"Great. Just great."

"Why is he with Emma?"

"I thought you would know."
