Chapter 91: He hit you


    The two of them talked for a while and before they knew it, the ss quickly filled up with other students. After the ss ended, Michael said his goodbyes and went to the library immediately after.


    Since Lucas had told him he will be monitoring his grades when he starts working at thepany, then he had to make sure that he maintained his position in his ss. Jen did not bother him and went to the cafeteria expecting to meet Nancy and Leanna. She had not talked to them much during the weekend with the exception of the few messages that they exchanged.


    When she entered the cafeteria, she did not see the two girls so she went to buy a bottle of water and decided to wait for them toe over. After ten minutes Jen saw Nancy walk into the cafeteria but Leanna was not with he. Jen slightly furrowed her eyebrows feeling a bit worried. After some small talk with Nancy Jen couldn''t stop herself from finally asking.


    "Where is Leanna?" Jen asked with worry.


    "She is going through some issues with her boyfriend." Nancy said as she toyed with the decoration that was hanging from her phone.


    "What''s wrong?" Jen asked.


    "They had a fight when Leanna went to visit him. She heard some rumors when she arrived at his gym on Friday that he was sleeping with clients. You know her character, she directly asked him about it and he flipped out" Nancy exined.


    "Is she alright?" Jen asked worriedly.


    "She had nned to stay with him over the weekend but she drove back the same night, she arrived at home at 2am and locked herself in her room. If I didn''t pester her she probably wouldn''t have told me anything" Nancy said with a sigh.


    "Did shee to ss today?" Jen asked.


    "She did, then she left immediately after" Nancy replied.


    "Let''s go to your ce" Jen said decisively. She picked up her things and quickly left the cafeteria with Nancy in tow. They went to the parking lot and Nancy was surprised to see that Jen drove to the university.


    "When did you buy a car?" Nancy asked as she got into the passenger''s seat.


    "I borrowed it, i''m waiting to choose a car for myselfter" Jen said as she buckled her seat belt and drove out of the campus.


    "Borrowed? but your house isn''t far from campus at all" Nancy said before connecting the dots.


    "You were at your boyfriend''s house right?" Nancy asked


    "Mmh, speaking of that, I intend to move out of my ce since some things have been happening recently. I''ll tell you about it once it''s resolved" Jen said.


    "Oh, so you''re staying with Lucas now?"


    "Just for some time until the issue is resolved" Jen exined. Nancy nodded her head happily. She had only seen Lucas at a distance and had never had the chance to have a close look at him, only when she saw him on Jen''s social media.


    Although she had never met him personally, from the picture she saw she knew he was very handsome and when she looked at her beautiful friend, she couldn''t help but think that they were very well matched.


    Nancy patiently showed Jen the way to the apartment she shared with Leanna and before they knew it, they had arrived. They got out of the car and into the apartment building, Nancy used her key and let Jen inside their cozy apartment. The ce was not too big and looked veryfortable. Nancy invited Jen to sit on cozy looking sofa before getting her something to drink. She then asked her to wait and went to call Leanna.


    Jen could only hear the muffled sounds of the two talking before Nancy walked out of Leanna''s room.


    "She''sing" Nancy said with a small smile before sitting on the only other sofa in the living room.


    After a few minutes Leanna came out of her room wearing a dress with long sleeves and her hair down. Jen looked at her suspiciously since she was wearing such a long sleeved dress on such a hot day.


    Leanna looked at Jen with a small smile and went to sit next to her. She looked ufortable and Jen noticed.


    "How are you?" Jen asked directly.


    "I''m okay, I just didn''t think he would react like that" Leanna said in a small voice. Jen was genuinely worried when she heard her tone. Although Leanna wasn''t as loud as Nancy, she was very confident and seeing her look like she did not have any life left in her made Jen feel even more concerned.


    "What happened" Jen asked.


    "I heard from the employees that he had been sleeping with a client he was training personally so I asked him about it" Leanna exined and stopped for a moment to get herself together before she could continue.


    Jen patiently waited for her to continue. Nancy was surprised with how emotional she was being and she too started worrying. Maybe it was because Jen felt like an older sister that was why Leanna felt like she could be vulnerable with her.


    "He got angry and started shouting at me and he suddenly said that it happened because I was not around and that I hardly called him so I shouldn''t me him. He started throwing things around and I got scared so I left before it got worse." Leanna said finishing her narration.


    Although Jen had experienced being distant with Tyler before, she was sure that he never cheated on her in the duration they were together, even when he would get upset he would never lose hisposure. As Jen continued to silently look at Leanna she felt that something else must have happened.


    Jen reached her hand toward Leanna''s face and Leanna involuntarily flinched making Jen''s face darken. She swept the hair that was framing her face behind her ear and noticed that her skin was discoloured, even though she tried to cover it up with makeup.


    "He hit you" Jen said as her expression turned thunderous. She was stating a fact and not asking to confirm her suspicions so Leanna couldn''t say anything and nervously bit her lower lip.


    Nancy''s eyes had widened in surprise. She would have never imagined that Leanna''s boyfriend had hit her. She was used to Leanna having such a strong personality it waspletely unexpected.


    "Did you break up with him?" Jen asked. Leanna shook her head in response.


    "How many times has this happened?" Jen asked again.


    "This is the second time" Leanna said in a small voice. Jen sighed partly from relief and partly from frustration.


    "Leanna, you know you didn''t do anything wrong right?" Jen said gently and at that moment Leanna was not able to hold in her tears any longer.


    Jen pulled her close to her and hugged her as her shoulders shook as she cried. She patted her head infort and felt Leanna cry even harder. Nancy was also unable to hold it in and also ended up in tears herself making Jen look at her incredulously.
