"Everyone treating you okay?". She asked. I had a feeling she also knew I was struggling a little. "Alanna was saying some of the girls around here haven't been that welcoming". Alanna needed to learn to keep her mouth shut.

"Sorry to pry honey. Alanna has a big heart she just wants to make sure you're okay".

"Girls can be mean". I shrugged. I wasn't going to let it bother me anymore or at least I was going to try. It wasn't worth it and if I wanted to hang out with Jake then I would.

"They can be little bitches". Charlotte stated. "But you're a strong one I can tell". She winked just as Alanna finally graced us with her presence. "Alanna set the table your dad and brother will be home soon". My heart rate spiked a little. I was excited to see him.

"I'll help". I offered.

She wanted to talk to me? Talk to me about what? I was nervous, worried even.

"Do you like my son Leah?".

I didn't know what to say. This was his mom, she came across as the mother that would kill for her family. She was fierce.

"So you've been hanging out together?".

"Yes". Taking a sip of my water I wiped my forehead. I was sweating. I had no idea what she was trying to do.
