"Everything okay honey?". Charlotte asked as she began to clear the plates away. I felt rotten because I couldn't finish my dinner. She had made so much.

"Yeah".

"You finished? Would you like some coffee?".

It was getting late I shouldn't really have coffee but I didn't want to be rude and it never stopped me before. "Yes please thank you".

"You okay?". Alanna whispered.

"Yeah are you?".

"Want to car share tomorrow?". She asked.

"Yes and we can stop for some coffee before we get to school. I have a feeling tonight is going to be a long night. I still have chemistry work to do".

"How does he expect you to write down the answers?". She frowned.

"Good question". I laughed. Shrugging my shoulders her mom came back with my coffee.

"You girls okay?". She asked. "Come into the living room it's much warmer in there". So we did we followed her through.

She was right it was toasty in here.

Alanna had her face buried in her phone and her mom wouldn't stop staring at me.

"Leah?".

"Yeah?".

"I'm sorry about earlier". She said catching Alanna's attention. "I shouldn't have put you on the spot like that it's just Jake-..."

"Mom". Alanna warned.

"He needs a nice girl, a strong girl I'm sick of him bringing all them floozies home".

"Mom". Alanna groaned. "Stop it now please".

"No bloody wonder. Did you see that girl he brought home last week. I had to chase her out of here because she wouldn't leave".

"I thought Jake had his own house?". I questioned.

"Oh he does honey but he likes to treat mine like a whore house. He's fly I don't know they're here until I get up in the morning".

I didn't know what to say.

My expectations of Jake were slipping every minute I was here. He seemed like a right charmer and his mom wasn't holding back.

"The boy needs to reign it in before it's to late. Heart of gold but he's a slag". I bit back a laugh.

"Okay mom I'm going to walk Leah home". That sounded like a good idea.

"Don't be a stranger Leah".

"Night Mrs Taylor oh I mean Charlotte".

It was chilly tonight. The temperature had definitely dropped.

"I'm sorry about my mom". Alanna sighed. "She shouldn't have said any of that".
