The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

"Leah?". Turning around I sighed with relief when I saw Lacey. "You needing a lift?". She asked.

"Is that okay?". I hated having to rely on everyone else for lifts. It wouldn't be for much longer. Once I started working at the gas station I could start to save again.

"Of course it is come on". Reaching her car I jumped in just glad to be out of the cold and rain. I couldn't imagine having to walk home in that. "The dark nights are coming in Leah. You shouldn't walk home when it's like this". Starting her car she pulled out of the parking lot. "It's not safe". "I know but sometimes I don't have a choice". I wasn't even sure if I knew how to get home by walking.

"How's the job search going, any luck?". She asked.

"Yes actually". I smiled. "Jake offered me a job at the gas station". I wasn't sure if that was a done deal right enough. "Well if his parents agree to it".

"Yeah?". She grinned. "That's great Leah and I wouldn't worry about Jakes parents saying no. Charlotte loves you".

"I'm just glad I can finally start to save some money again and put it towards a car. I'm not big on always having to rely on other people. I hate it".

"I get that". She said as she pulled into my street. "But I'll always help out and I'm sure Alanna will as well". Speaking of Alanna where was she? She looked panicked at lunch and I hadn't seen her since.

"Is Alanna okay?". I asked as the car came to a stop.
