October 11th
Rosa made coffee and we enjoyed it with Leonardo's family.
Well, I enjoyed it with Rosa and his brothers and sisters at least.
Antonio had spoken briefly to Leonardo in his office. I couldn't hear them because of the sheer noise produced by his siblings but when they came out, Antonio constantly glanced at me an
October 12thI woke later that night. The earlier storm had passed leaving the moon beaming in through the undrawn curtains. All I could hear was the gentle breathing of the still sleeping Leonardo, who lay with his arm gently wrapped around my waist. His lips were slightly parted and the light of the moon lit up his face revealing his beautiful features. He looked pure and innocent, the complete contrast to earlier that night. I lay gazing at him for a few minutes, yearning for him to be this kind and gentle when he was awake.
October 12thWhen we arrived at the shopping centre Leonardo grasped my hand.I then yanked my hand out of his.He looked at me and grabbed my wrist again this time tighter, "Don't fight me."
We spent the next few hours shopping and I slowly found myself actually not entirely repulsed by Leo anymore. He was actually... sort of... okay?"Lingerie," he said abruptly as we stood in the middle of the busy mall"Um, do you want to find a café or something because I also need to go to the drugstore and get some other girl stuff," I said, hoping this would be my chance to escape and talk to Logan.
"Now for the drug store," I announced as we got back into the town centre."Oh yes, I almost forgot," he said with a sigh.I grinned.So I'd learnt quickly teasing him with my body was dangerous business but what about with tampons?
I didn't go anywhere near the art block. The opposite direction. The back entrance to the school happened to open out into Cerridwen woods, where I had agreed to meet Logan. The forest floor was covered in twigs and dead leaves. Every tiny crunch I heard in the otherwise silent forest, I snapped my head around at, praying I wouldn't see Leo following me. It was always just a little bird digging around in search of worms or a twig or nut of some kind falling to the ground but I was on edge and not without good reason.I found Logan within a few minutes leant casually against a tree.
October 12thWhen we eventually arrived back at the house, it was already 5:00 pm. Leo had carried me back to the car and I had sat silently in the car the rest of the journey."You almost got yourself killed today, Ella," He said when we reached the yellow light of the hall and he had set me down on the ground. "How did you end up in that forest?"
Leo's POVWhen I came back upstairs after cleaning up the spaghetti, I expected more angry glares and spiteful comments or a locked door at the very least but I found her completely passed out.She lay in a little ball on the bed, her eyes red and puffy and her cheeks tear-stained.I sighed and sat next to her before brushin
October 13thI woke in the morning with the sun blazing through the window.I groaned as I drifted out of sleep and back into the terrible reality that was my life. My neck still hurt like hell. Grimacing, I brought my hand up the wound. It had covered over but even the light touch of my fingers made me wince.But what
