One Year - (Jadam Story)

Day 59 - Loyalty

James' POV

I've been reconnecting with my friends a lot lately. While we work on animations we listen to movies or share stories of fun memories. I wish I had more to share...I don't remember anything. Still, it's fun to hear what they have to say.

Finally, I finished my latest story and it was ready to upload on to YouTube. While my video was processing, I decided to check on my roommate Adam. He's been pretty quiet lately.

I knocked on his door and peaked in with a warm smile, "Hi Adam!"

Adam turned around and looked at me with a soft smile, he then turned back and looked down. I decided to let myself in and walk towards him, sitting right next to him. "Hey, what's up?"

"Oh...nothing." Adam said sadly.

I began to worry about him. He looked so down...so upset. I couldn't help but wonder what was going on with him. I touched his hand stared up at his face. He pushed my hand away and just stared at the floor.

"It's okay if I don't wanna tell me what's wrong but...I'm here if you need someone to listen."

Adam's POV

Memories...

I looked through my pictures of James and I on my phone. All of this was before the accident that took his life. I wish it never happened. I wish I could of stopped the heart attack from happening somehow. I wish I could of erased that day so it would of never happened.

Swirl did their best trying to bring him back to life fully. They did an amazing job. I mean he's here. But he doesn't remember the love we had for each other. Now I have all these memories to myself. It's been about two months...
I don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore. How am I already out of ideas?

I heard a knock on my door and I saw him, my Jameson standing there. I put my phone down and I forced a smile at him. He then walked over and sat next to me.

I wanted to tell him everything that happened but I didn't wanna overwhelm him with too many memories. It could cause some damage to him. But James reminded me of one of my favorite things about him: he's loyal. He didn't move from my side even when I had nothing to say to him. He sat with me the whole time.

In a way, part of him was still there. James didn't try to go out with any other guys. He didn't flirt with anyone. He spent most of his time with me. He was still loyal to me. Maybe it's just because he doesn't know anyone else but I like to think it's because something inside of him doesn't want to leave me behind. The idea that all of James memories are still inside of him somewhere keeps me going.

I leaned on his shoulder and held his hand tightly, not moving from his side ether. I'm gonna be just as loyal as him...I'm not gonna give up. I promise.

James' POV

I felt a strong squeeze on my hand and a little weight on my shoulder. Both of these were my best friend Adam. I don't know why but...

I felt my heart skip a beat...

and my face felt warm...
