A jiley love story.

Chapter 75- Understanding.

James's POV:

"Riley you need to come closer." i tell her.

"No i dont, you can lift me from here." riley speaks back.

"I can't reach you from across the room." i tell her.

"Fine. One time then put me down." riley tells me.

I pick her up and go to spin her around when she starts hitting my back.

"Put me down now." riley squirms.

"I have to hold you up for longer, i won't drop you." i tell her.

I put her down and she sits in the middle of the floor.

"So were not dancing now?" i ask Riley.

She's cuddling her petite legs into her chest, rocking herself back and fourth. I knew she was getting stressed and i decide to sit close to her but not to close.

Riley's POV:

As he lifts me up and goes to spin me, i feel scared as if he will drop me. So when he lets me go, i feel relived. I sit in the middle of the floor in studio a, next to the chair we use as a prop. And put my arms around my knees cuddling them into my chest, i just want to cry. James sits close, but not to close.

"I dont think i can rehearse anymore today." i tell james shyly.

James knows how stressed and worked up i get, so i hope he will understand.

"Are you not feeling okay?" james asks me.

"Something like that." i tell him shyly. "Okay." he replies quietly.

"Tomorrow night after A troupe we're scheduled to." i tell him.

"We will try again then?" he asks quietly.

"Yeah..." i reply quietly.

"Alright, do you want me to walk you home?" james asks me.

"No im fine." i reply quietly.

I get up and leave the room, and start to walk near the music room when my phone rings. Its Michelle. I answer quickly, not wanting to look at my back ground of James and I.

"Hey beautiful, A troupe's going out for dinner tonight'' michelle spoke.

" Hey mich, Uh okay what time?" i reply back quietly.

"Around 7ish. You coming?'' michelle asks me.

I'd have to face James again, and that was maybe a little to much James i could handle for the day.

"I'll have to see, long duet practice all day and i have to uh study for my math exam." i quickly speak.

I do have a math exam, but i didnt need to study as i have already done so as i don't hang out with anyone these days.
"Alright beautiful well if you do i will see you there." michelle speaks sweetly.

"Okay bye mich." i tell her before hanging up.

I walk out of the studio and go home, entering to my parents arguing. I go up to my room and quickly text Chloe and see if she's coming tonight.
"Hey Chlo, you coming to dinner tonight?" i text her.
"Yeah beautiful, em is giving me a ride home. :) Are you?" Chloe texted back.
"Not really wanting to face James yet again. x" i text back.
"Duet did no good? Just come us girls wanna hang!! We're shopping after in the mall. xx " Chloe text me  back.
"Nope and well see. Xx'' i text chloe.

I go through my walk in robe, searching for an outfit to wear if i do end up going to this silly dinner thing but i literally just come across 5 or 6 of James's shirts/Jumpers each one bringing back amazing memories. I pull them all out and curl up under my bed on his "side" where he slept on weekends, and i cuddle them smelling his scent still on them. I begin to cry.

James's POV:

I go home to the twins playing in the back yard in the sandpit  and mum doing garderning. I go out there abd begin building sand castles with my little sisters.

"Ask RiRi if she wanna come build sandcastles with us." Jenni exclaims.

I felt sad, she was so close with Riley and i wish i'd be able to tell a nearly 5yr old in a nice way that Riley wont be around anymore.

"Maybe some other time sweetie, Riles is  a little busy right now." i tell her quietly.

"I haven't seen her in weeks." Jenni mumbles.

"I know sis. She'll come around soon i hope." i mumble.

"Ask her at din din tonight!" jenni says tugging on to my shirt.

"Alright maybe i will." i say.

"Wait dinner, how'd you know about that mum?" i ask mum.

"Emily rang and invited you." mum yells out.

"Oh right.." i reply quietly.
