I had been in bed for hours but couldn't sleep. Everything kept playing over in my head. I still hadn't heard from Alanna. Pushing my covers back I slipped my feet into my slippers and pulled a jumper over my head. Grabbing my kindle I closed my bedroom door quietly hoping not to wake my gran.

I couldn't sleep so there was no point lying in bed.

After fixing myself a cup of hot chocolate I grabbed the blanket from the couch and headed out the back door. It was peaceful round here at night. Wrapping the blanket around my shoulders I got myself comfortable whilst trying to find a new book to read.

"Can't sleep?".

I froze.

"Mind won't shut off". Locking my kindle I placed it beside me before finally lifting my head. My eyes locked with his, my heart skipped a beat. I didn't know what to do about the way I felt around him or how every time he was near my body felt at ease. I knew he would never hurt me, I could see it in his eyes.

"Is that because of what you saw tonight?". As he started to get closer my heartrate spiked. Moving my legs he took the space beside me. "Things are complicated Leah".

"What things?". I knew he was hiding something. It killed me that every time I got close to finding out it got shut down.

"If I told you I'd have to kill you". He smirked.

Biting back my smile I focused on my cup of hot chocolate . "Why are you here Jake?". It was at least 1am.

"I was out a run, I saw your light on".

"So you thought you'd come over?".

"You're not making this easy for me Leah".

"Making what easy, I have no idea what you're talking about".

He moved so quickly. Taking my cup from me he took my hand and placed it between his. "You feel it too princess, I know you do".

"Jake". I warned.
