The rest of my classes flew by, and before I knew it, we were all sitting in Jaxon's car. Jaxon dropped Kylie off first at the pack house, and then dropped off Alex and I. Leo hugged me and placed a sweet kiss on my lips before I got out of the car, and I couldn't keep the silly grin off of my face.
Alex and I headed inside and upstairs to our rooms. Before I could enter my room, he stopped me.
"You forgave Leo," it was more of a statement than a question, but I nodded anyways.
"Yeah," I responded. He exhaled and rubbed the back of his neck.
"I hope you know what you're doing. I don't want him to hurt you again," he said, concern in his voice. I smiled and gave him a hug. He seemed surprised that I did considering that the last time I hugged him was when we were very young. After a moment, he hugged me back.
"I know, but I do know what I'm doing. He won't hurt me again. I promise," I said, pulling away. He exhaled again and nodded.
"Alright," he said. I turned and headed into my room, closing the door behind me.
I finished all of my homework before heading downstairs for dinner. My mom had made chicken cutlets with green beans. The conversation was mainly my parents asking me questions about my first day back at school. I told them that it had been great, and they seemed relieved.
After finishing dinner and doing the dishes with Alex, I headed upstairs and took a shower. I changed into my pajamas and got into bed. I snuggled down into my covers, getting comfortable and relaxed. I slowly started drifting asleep, and the last thing that crossed my mind was how happy I was right now.
Sexual Content
Over the next couple of weeks, Leo has been doing everything to make me feel happy. He's spent almost every waking moment with me, and has taken me to a bunch of dates. We even went on a movie and dinner date! It was cliche, but it was cute.
Right now, I was just laying in bed, smiling to myself. Today is my eighteenth birthday. And I was actually excited about it. Even though Leo rejected me on my last birthday, I knew he would make this my best birthday, I could just feel it.
I didn't really care what happened as long as I got to spend it with my friends and family. I was currently in my closet deciding what to wear to school.
I decided to wear a pale, pastel pink three quarter length knit dress with a pair of sheer black tights. I paired it with a black knit hat, black infinity scarf, and a pair of black suede ankle boots. I quickly unbraided my hair once it was dry, leaving it in beach waves. I applied some mascara, black eyeliner, and a pale pink shimmery eyeshadow. I quickly applied some lipgloss before looking at myself in the mirror. When I was pleased with my outfit, I grabbed my backpack before leaving my room.
