A jiley love story.

Chapter 69- the morning after.

Riley's POV;

I wake up in my big bed where sometimes James is laying beside me, and I instantly feel tears flowing down my face, knowing that he kissed Beth means he doesn't love me, and we're over? I want to talk to him and I want him to be honest, but honestly my eyes saw what happened he can't justify it in any way that will make me believe he still cares about me. My trust in everything is almost gone. I roll over and my tears soak my purple pillow case, I can smell James's scent beside me from where he was laying only 2 nights ago. I then get a text, from James, I type in my password which is his name and my screens are still him.

I read the text slowly. "Good morning gorgeous, can't walk with you this morning I have to rehearse with Beth once again, but I will see you in rehearsals xx have a good morning my girl. xx "

I throw my phone at the wall, I'm going to give him one chance to be honest with me and if he isn't we're over and I mean that. I get ready not even carrying how messy my hair is or if I look good enough, because today's going to be the worst day of my life and I can tell already. I grab my pink dance bag and my phone and go downstairs, where Emily is sitting at the table eating breakfast, I take a seat beside her.

"good morning ri." Em says from beside me.

"morning, where's mum?" I ask curious.

"she's gone to work early." Em replies softly.

"great! So now I have no lift to dance, and I have to walk by myself!" I snap.

"whoa, what about James? Aren't you walking with him today?" Em asks in a loving tone.

"he has duet rehearsals, with beth remember." I say angry.

"that's exciting for him, when's the competition?" Em asks sweetly oblivious to anything that's going on.

"weekend." I reply not caring when it is. I get up and walk to dance not saying anything more to Emily, I walk the same route James and I usually walk, we have walked this way for months even when we weren't together. It just makes me even more sad and even more real. I finally make my way to the Studio.

James's POV;

I wake up from probably the worst nights sleep of my entire life, I'm almost scared to go to dance today not knowing weather or not I should tell Riley, she was right, I should have listened to her and I should have not taken the duet with Beth. Sad truth is I don't want to tell Riley about the kiss because I know she will freak out and I know she won't understand because of mine and Beth's history, and that's all it is. It's history. I check my phone to no texts from Riley, but I see Beth has texted me twice. I read them.

"Morning, we really need to do duet practice this morning?" Beth's text read.

"Text me when you get this, I was hoping we could rehearse this morning." Beth's text said.

I reply back with a sigh, knowing this is a bad bad idea. Its for the team James, it's for the team you can't let them down, I think to myself. I type back. Regretfully.

"hey, sorry was asleep, and yeah we can rehearse meet me in the music room in 20!"

I then remembered, Riley, I walk with her every day like our morning ritual for as long as I can remember, I can't bail on Beth now though. So I send my riles a text.

"Good morning gorgeous, can't walk with you this morning I have to rehearse with Beth once again, but I will see you in rehearsals xx have a good morning my girl. xx "

I feel guilt rush inside of me, how could I send Riley such a sweet text knowing what I've done? We'll Beth's done but I didn't exactly stop it. Ugh.

I wait and wait for a reply, but she doesn't reply, maybe she's still asleep, I go downstairs with my bag faking a smile, mums in the kitchen with the twins giving them breakfast. I pretent like last night didn't happen, and I guess mum does too.

"hey mum, can I get a lift to dance today?" I ask sweetly.

"sure, don't you usually walk with Riley?" mum asks curious.

"yeah but I have duet rehearsals with Beth since the competition is on the weekend."I reply

"okay give me 2 minutes." mum says nicely.

She gets her keys and the twins get into the car, mum drops me off at the studio, I make my way to the Music room and see Beth already there stretching, I almost feel sick to my stomach remembering what happened yesterday. I take a deep breathe in and begin rehearsals. After a good hour and a half, we call rehearsals over and I make my way down to Culture shock, seeing Riley talking to Emily.

Riley's POV;

I sit in culture shock and Emily joins me as i did walk out on her over breakfast, she knew something was wrong, so emily is sitting here attempting to cheer me up, I instantly freak out about whats on my mind as she tells me about our kittens usually I would laugh but I'm not in the mood.

"Did I tell you about last night?" I ask frantic.

"no?" she replys confused.

"well my worst nightmare came true." I sigh as Emily nods with a confused look, I continue.

"I saw them kissing! In the music room!" I say panicking.

That's when it sinks in, they kissed, he betrayed me.

"you are going to talk to him Ri, and keep your head up high you don't know the situation therefore you can't make decisions until you know okay?" Em says grabbing my hand.

I grab it back and squeeze it a little tighter, just as James's view takes place in the corner of my eye.

"and I am Going to go now, so I will see you later." Em replies getting up, giving me a sweet look.

James takes a seat, it's now or never.

James's POV;

As I take a seat, I feel like I interrupted something, my girl isn't smiling. I sigh. It's time to have that dreaded conversation I've been trying so hard to avoid.
