A/N: Chapter Two was kind of short so I put up Chapter Three to make up for it.
Chapter Three
(Leana's POV)
I had never seen Cody so mad before. I couldn't believe he freaked out so bad about Kevin. I had never liked Kevin. When I met him I thought he was a douche bag and when he kissed me, it was the most disgusting thing ever. I didn't know what to say or do to fix what Kevin had broken between Cody and me. Cody's dad said I should leave, so I did. I got into my Nissan Murano and drove home quickly.
When I got home, I dropped onto my bed and cried. I would just have to find Cody at school in the morning and try to explain again. I turned over and cried myself to sleep, wishing everything could be fine again.
I arrived at school the next morning and looked around for Cody. I spotted Austin and Charlie under the shelters and I ran to them.
"Hey guys. Where's Cody?" I asked.
Charlie looked at me and shook her head slightly. "He went to stay with Grandpa Charlie for a while." She said sadly.
My heart sank and I couldn't help but feel like it was my fault. The day passed incredibly slowly and I really missed Cody. I was sad, oh so very sad. Even my teachers noticed.
My friends were worried and continuously asked if I was okay, to which I replied, no. I didn't think I would ever be okay without Cody. Lunch was even worse. I always felt out of place with Cody's group. Their parents had all been friends, in a group like theirs and the kids had all basically known each other since they were born. The only real connection I ever had to the group was Cody. He wasn't here and I felt majorly out of place.
I went home, still sad. My parents asked if I was okay and I didn't lie. I told my mom what happened and she comforted me as I cried.
Cody wasn't at school the next day. Or the next. He wasn't there the rest of the week. I got sadder with each day I didn't see Cody. The sadness turned to despair and longing. I couldn't live without him. He didn't answer his phone and I didn't bother going to his house since he wasn't there.
According to his family, he's staying with his Grandpa Swan, I wasn't sure why. None of the Black's would tell my why, but I couldn't go much longer without Cody.
The weekend finally arrived and I was driving up to my cousin, Valary's house in Seattle. I didn't feel much like partying, but Valary would cheer me up, I knew. I arrived at her house and got out of the car. Val came out of the house squealing and hugged me. My father was Quileute but my mother was white. Valary was a cousin on my mom's side of the family.
She was beautiful, of course. She was nearly four inches taller than me, standing, 5 feet 6 inches tall and she had black hair that reached her shoulders and hazel eyes. She reminded me of a doll.
She released me and we went into the house. Val was chattering about her week at school. I told her about Cody and she offered to take me to a pool hall, her friend works at to get me drunk, to which I replied, hell yes. We got ready to go, I wanted to look good, but not too good. I didn't want a bunch of random guys hitting on me when I felt so bad about Cody. I put on a pair of jeans, a black Pantera t-shirt, black and pink fingerless gloves, pink socks and small black heels. I left my hair down and put on my camouflage jacket, and Val and I left the house.
We arrived at the pool hall and went inside. Val found her friend and she brought us drinks. Neither Val nor I was twenty-one, but her friend was and she didn't care we weren't of age.
After about two drinks, Valary and I played some pool. I was leaning against the pool table when I felt a pair of arms snake around my waist. I spun around and found the whole reason I even wanted to get drunk. The whole reason Cody wasn't speaking to me. Kevin.
"What are you doing here?" I demanded. I pushed him backwards and he scowled.
"I came to see you, baby." He answered.
I turned to walk away but he grabbed my wrist. "Where are you going, Leana? I thought you wanted to see me?"
I turned back and punched him in the face. All of this week's sadness and not being able to see Cody caught up with me and the tears quickly turned to anger. He looked shocked I had actually punched him so I screamed at him.
"YOU ARE THE WHOLE REASON I'M NOT SPEAKING WITH MY BOYFRIEND! YOU AND YOUR STUPID PHONE CALL, SO GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD. I DON'T LIKE YOU, I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU EVER AGAIN, SO JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!"
The entire pool hall was looking at me as I stormed out of the building with Valary right on my heels.
"Leana! Wait!" Valary called to me. I didn't listen; I kept walking until I got to the curb. I dropped down and put my head on my knees. Val sat down next to me and put her arms around me and just let me cry. I hoped Cody would forgive me soon, I couldn't take it much longer without him.
