Chapter 340

I quickly dried out my hair before changing into a floral print knee length dress. Once again, I caught myself staring at my reflection in the mirror, my hands lying flat against my stomach. I closed my eyes took a deep breath and finished off getting ready. If it wasn't his parents coming to dinner, I'd have been in either fresh pjs or a pair of sweats, but I wanted to make a little effort. I frowned when I heard a knock at the front door. They were early. My bedroom door opened; Alanna walked in like she owned the place collapsing onto our bed. The bed I had not long made. I loved her like a sister but sometimes I could throttle her. "What?". I sighed when I caught her staring. "I'm here for dinner". She grinned. Of course, she was. "Joking". She winked. "Can I borrow your black jacket?". I had no idea which jacket she was talking about. I had a few black jackets. Short and long. "Help yourself". I pointed to my closet. "Where are you going?". "Drinks with the girls. There's a cocktail bar in town I've been dying to try. It only opened a few months ago. Plays live music to". Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Right. I didn't like the feeling that rose in my stomach. The feeling of being left out. Pursing my lips, I grabbed my phone off the floor. "You'll find one in there and don't touch my shoes". "Love you". She yelled as I made my way downstairs. It shouldn't but I was annoyed. I was annoyed that they were going out and I wasn't. I couldn't drink but I could still go out and have fun. Jake was in the living room a beer in his hand the tv on in the background. He looked up from his phone. "Wow babe you look beautiful". "Yeah". I opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. "We need to start locking the doors". I huffed. I was being petty, but I couldn't help it. I didn't even get an invite. "What's wrong?". He asked. "Nothing". I closed the fridge door before disappearing into the pantry. I wanted a snack. I opened a new bag of lays and grabbed a bag of Hershey kisses. Was this how it was going to be from now on? I wasn't going to get invited places because I was pregnant? They were real shitty friends if that was the case. "Babe". He stood at the pantry door as I stood in the corner stuffing my face. "What?". "You'll ruin your dinner". "Don't care". I shrugged. "Has something happened?". He asked just as I heard the front door close. "No". "Babe". "They're going out without me". Even saying the words, I felt stupid. If I had been asked, I'd have probably said no anyway but it wasn't the point. I was an emotional mess most days and this wasn't making me feel any better. "Do you want to go out?". "No". I made a face. "Then what's the issue?". He frowned. "They didn't invite me that's the issue and they didn't invite me because I'm pregnant. I'm going to be pregnant for a whole nine months. I feel left out and it's not a nice feeling". "I'm sure that's not true Leah". "Yeah, then why wasn't I invited?". "I don't know baby, but can we get out of the pantry and go into the living room? My parents will be here soon". I sat on the couch scrolling through my phone. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Jobnb.com. It wasn't bad enough that I didn't get invited I now had to see pictures plastered all over my Facebook. Turning my phone onto do not disturb I crossed my arms over my chest and tried to focus on the tv. Jakes parents hadn't arrived yet but before they did, I had to try and change my mood. If I glared any harder, I'm sure my face would stay like this. "Leah?". "Hm?". "Baby, are you really that annoyed that you didn't get asked to go out?". "Yes, yes I am". I never once took my eyes off the tv. "My friends are out having a good time and I'm". I paused. I had to think about what I was going to say next. "You know what it doesn't matter I have to pee".
