The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

"Is Carter coming?".

"He'll be there. Please come it'll get you out of the house for a bit". She was right. Staying cooped up in here wasn't doing me any good. "Fancy or casual?".

"You wear what you want sweetheart just be ready for 7".

I texted Carter but didn't get a reply. I wasn't in the mood to go out but my gran was right. What was the point in staying home by myself.

I decided to go casual. Skinny jeans with my oversized orange blazer and orange shoes. My hair in a messy bun, little to no makeup except my eyes and my thick black rimmed glasses. Glancing in the mirror I caught myself smiling. In that moment I felt a little bit of myself coming back.

Jake who?

A laugh spilled from my lips as I sprayed a little perfume. I don't know what it was but I felt good. My mood had changed and I felt like my old self.

And my old self didn't give a rats ass about what anyone thought. It was time I brought her back. I was done worrying, I was done tip towing around acting like I didn't have a voice. Poor little Leah being taken for a fool well no more.

Grabbing my bag I put my purse and phone inside. With one last look in the mirror I left my room making my way downstairs.
