Chapter 32

Leila knows what is about to come next and she desperately wants to avoid it, she tries to peel away from Carmela's side to get back to her room and lock herself inside but Carmela hugs her.

"Mother, no one is bullying me, Leila and I have made up and she doesn't have a problem with me being around Tatum, right Leila?"

Carmela squeezes Leila tight in a side hug, grinning from ear to ear at Adaline.

Leila scrunches her nose and gently shrugs Carmela off her, glancing at Tatum who doesn't move his face away from the TV.

It breaks her heart when he does this, acting like she doesn't exist when she needs him the most. His mother just called her a b**h and a bully but he acts like he doesn't even hear it, like he's not even in the room. Why else would that be but for the fact that he shares the same view as his mother?

Maybe just like her, what he lacks is the courage to tell her that her time is up, that he is done with her and that he no longer needs her.

Adaline scoffs, scowling at Leila as she saunters towards the women.
