Chapter 76 Marriage (Jessie's Diary)

• Elena's Pov:
• I couldn't even believe that I was doing this when the news was all over the place that Leo should be getting married. I wanted to ask him questions about it, to see if he was going to agree to the marriage arrangements. I didn't want him to. When I glanced at Kyle, his eyes were filled with slight pain and I knew he wasn't okay with the fact that I chose Leo over him. But if it was because of his marriage that Kyle thought that I'd pull away, he got it wrong. I felt bad for refusing Kyle's offer, but I felt so much safer with Leo. There was a connection between the both of us, a bond. He wasn't as muscular as Kyle, but his broad shoulders and very good stature were still top-tier. Brianne had always teased me about him, and the thought made me chuckle. I was an idiot to have gone for Aiden because he was the school's jock, an expert on the field. But at the end of it all, he was just a jerk.
• Trying to occupy my mind with something else than Brianne's death, my thoughts drifted to Purity. My eyes scanned the room and I noticed she was looking for someone. Surprisingly Ken was approaching her. I cocked a brow and watched as he gave her a smile. She smiled too but I sensed her insecurity. Purity wasn't as healthy-looking as she used to be. But to me, she still had one of the most stunning beauty in the entire school. I understood her insecurity was a result of how unhealthy she was looking but then, she had a pure and beautiful heart. They began to say something that I couldn't hear from where I was and so I decided to turn away. The next thing I know is that Kyle is at the end of the room staring at me. He didn't look pleased at all, it was scary. But I wanted to approach him so that he could tell me what was going on with him. It was about Leo, I knew but I'd still never seen Kyle this way before. Could it be that it was deeper than I thought?
