Another few weeks passed by. Not much had changed. I was in the best relationship I thought I'd ever have. Seth was the love of my life although we were still in high school. Seth was always there when I needed him. I felt selfish for keeping him to myself so often.
Every time I spent the evening or day with Seth at his house, I always felt like we were being watched. I knew Seth's mother Sue wasn't overly worried about us. She would check on us to make sure we were ok. It was Leah that watched us very closely.
She wasn't even watching so much. She would walk by where ever we were sitting at and glare at me. I don't know why she was glaring at me. It made me feel uncomfortable. It didn't seem to bother Seth. He may not have noticed. Leah always glared at me when she thought neither of us were looking. I noticed every time she did it.
The next time Seth asked me to come over, I told him I'd come over. Sue was there for a few minutes. She told us that Leah was in charge while she was gone. Seth and I stayed on the couch with some food and watched TV. Sam stopped by and said he needed to talk with Seth. Leah turned away from Sam, as if she were angry or upset with him. Seth and Sam walked outside to talk about whatever they needed to talk about.
I had finally worked up the courage to talk to Leah.
"Leah? Can I ask you something?" I asked her.
"Sure." She said with an eye roll.
"Why do you not like me?" I asked her.
She stopped what she was doing then. She looked over at me with anger or annoyance on her face.
"I don't like you dating my little brother. In fact I'm not to found of you at all. I've seen sweet girls like you before. You start out all sweet and innocent and have nothing. But the second you think you can become popular with one group of people, you can get whatever you want." Leah said angrily towards me.
"What are you talking about Leah?" I asked, wishing I'd never brought this up.
"I mean you developed so quickly that once a popular boy notices you, you will break my brother's heart and not even have a second thought about it. You will keep saying you love him but I don't believe it. I've seen how some of the guys are with you. I know one of them will convince you to leave Seth. Why don't you just leave now? One of you is just going to get heart broken. Maybe even both." Leah said, before turning to leave.
The way Leah had put this really hurt me. I decided to believe her. I left through the back door and went home the long way that night. I was on the verge of tears as what Leah said was really true. I couldn't help but think what she said was true. I decided I would leave a note on Seth's locker on Monday morning when I got to school. It'd be the best way to tell him I needed to talk.
