Chapter 313

"You need to tell him how you feel".

"I can't". She shook her head."I'mgoing to suck it up and support him. I'mgoing to do what I need to do".

"You'll be miserable".

"Maybe". She shrugged."But at leasthe'll have his title back".

She couldn't do all this just for Carter.She had to want it as much as he does,and she doesn't. She doesn't want toleave her home her family which isunderstandable.

But they wouldn't last if she wasn'thonest with him.

"You need to tell him how you feel. Hemight surprise you and tell you hedoesn't want to go". That was my

wishful thinking.

"Yeah right". She made a face."If Ibring it up it'll cause an argument andthat's the last thing I want. He's alreadyin a bad enough mood as it is".

"Let me talk to him. I won't mention athing but let me see where his headsat".

"See where who's heads at?". Jakeasked.

"I swear I'm putting a bell aroundyour neck". Sometimes I could hear himand sense him and other times Icouldn't.

"Who are you two talking about?".

"I'm going to head home. Thanks forthe tea, Leah".

"Carter is it, Carter?". He asked."Let

me guess you don't want to leave?”.

"Jake". I warned.

"You hit the nail on the head bro".

"Then don't leave". He shrugged.

"What?". I frowned.

"She doesn't want to go so shedoesn't have to. Their relationship cansurvive long distance”.

Did he just say that?

"So, if I went to university ourrelationship would survive longdistance?". I asked.

"Guys". Alanna waved her arms toget our attention. "I'm leaving withCarter I'm not staying here. I was justventing my feelings, but the place willgrow on me".

"We're not talking about us Leah".

A laugh fell from my lips."Rightbecause I wouldn't be allowed to go.You wouldn't be able to handle it. So,what makes you think Carter will?”. Yes,I was 100 percent sticking up for mycousin.

"Guys please don't fight".

Unfortunately, Alanna was irrelevantright now. He started something byopening his mouth and like always notthinking before speaking.

"You're exactly right I wouldn't beable to handle it, but neither would youand we're not fighting, are we?".

"So, what makes you think theywould be okay miles apart?".

A sigh fell from his lips."Okay,I shouldhave kept my mouth shut. Alanna talk

to Carter instead of bringing yourproblems over here. I'm going toshower".

Could I blame that on my hormonesthis early?
