A jiley love story.

77- Needing you.

Riley's POV:

Everyone was just gathered around after rehearsals today just talking, James and i haven't spoke since our awkward dinner last night and i could tell he was less then impressed with A troupe.

"How was your night last night?" thalia asks us.

"Being set up is great." James spoke.

I go in to defend for james, why im not sure.

"Yeah guys, that was rude if we wanted to fix it we would do so on our own.' i add in.

"Well our job is done since your defending one another." west adds in.

"Or maybe you put us in this situation." james spoke.

"We're sorry guys." eldon spoke.

"We just wanted to help." Giselle adds in.

"It's fine just dont help anymore okay." i tell them quietly.

"Okay." they say in sync. We pack up for the day and head home.

James's POV:

I am just chilling at home thinking about how Riley defended me. Soon enough my phone rings and the contact " My girl " with a bunch of emoji's is ringing me. It was Riley, i just didn't change it. I answer on the second ring.

"Ja-Ja-Jay." riley choked through sobs.

She was crying, and i knew she needed my help.

"Riles, whats wrong?" i ask.

"I need you to comfort me." riley spoke.

"I'm on my way. Just calm down okay i'll be there soon." i say quietly.

I run downstairs and get the new tub of Banana Choc Chip ice cream out of the freezer and a packet of gummi bears out of the cupboard,  and run out the front door, and go through the front door of Riley's house up to her room in a record time of 12 minutes running. I knock on her locked bedroom door when Emily comes out of her own room..

"How long has she been in there?" i ask Emily.

"About an hour. She locked it, and wont let me in. She called you?" em asks confused.

"Yeah she did." i reply quietly.

Riley's POV:

I hear James and Emily talking near my door, James knocking trying to get me to unlock it. Its all gotten to much for me to deal with, and i am struggling. So i ring James, why because he's the only one who can comfort me, i need him. I unlock the door and he comes in, i shut the door behind us and cry.

"Riley what happened?" james spoke quietly.

"I....." i tried to speak.

"It's okay riles im right here." James spoke carefully and sensitive. He pulled me into a hug, a long passionate and sweet hug, he rocked me back and fourth, and comforted me. I knew it was wrong, but i just didn't care. I needed him, and apart of me feels like he needs me too. I woke up to James still having his mucselly arms wrapped around me with his free hand running through my tangling hair, rocking me back and fourth.

"How long was i asleep for?" i ask James quietly.

"About 2 hours." james spoke.

It was now 8pm, i didn't want to move from James's tight grip though. We were sitting on my shaggy grey rug in my room.

"Do you have to go home?" i speak quietly.

"Nope, i can stay with you as long as you need.." James spoke, running his hair through my tangled short bob.

Emily's POV:

Things where quiet from Riley's room, i didnt hear her crying as much anymore and apart of me wonders if her and James made up, or if he's just being there for her. Whatever the case, i think they need to work it out and fast, even though he hurt..him being here when she needs him is what really counts.

James's POV:

I look down at Riley and loosen my grip, not alot just enough so she can face me which she does. Her brown eyes where red bright and puffy from crying and her make up was everywhere. I pick her up and walk into her ensuite, sitting her on the granite counter top. I grab a face washer off the bench and run it under some cold water, wiping riley's ruined make up off. She hugs me as i finish cleaning her face up.

"James.." riley spoke quietly.

"Yes?" i ask her.

"Can you stay with me tonight?" riley asks me.

"Sleep beside me." Riley adds in.

I know its wrong, i know i shouldn't do it but i was laying beside her and we use to do that when we were together.

"Of course beautiful...'' i say sweetly.
