Madison's Pov:

I woke up to somebody opening my door. I quickly hide under the covers hoping it's not a burglar. "You know I saw you do that right," a familiar voice said. I took the covers off my head and saw James standing at the foot of my bed. "What time is it?" I ask looking at my clock. "9ish. Why?" James asks confused. "I've been asleep the whole day." "No wonder your mom called me to check on you. By the way she's working a night shift." "Please tell me she didn't interrupt your's and Matt's date." "I assure you she didn't." 

"Ooo. What's this?" James grabs my notebook off the ground. "Nothing important," I say trying to act nonchalant about it. Spoiler alert, it didn't work. "Hmm ok. So if it's nothing you wouldn't mind me looking at it." "Well-" They opens it and starts to read. I would try and stop them but that would be near impossible and I do not feel like chasing after James. 

"Wow this is some good writing. Also WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE THIS GIRL!" "First off you're gonna annoy my neighbors, second off I said I wasn't sure if I do or not. I mean it could be true but I'm not a hundred percent sure." I get out of my bed. James follows close behind me, with my notebook still open. I walk to the kitchen and grab a water bottle from the fridge. James sit down on a stool, I just stand leaning against the counter. "Dude you could write a book. This writing is really good." "Thanks but I don't know. I've always kinda wanted to write a book. Imagine my words that I write have an effect on someone, that would be so cool." 

"Dude there is no way you're not in love. You literally said, 'You're probably too caught up in your own world to even notice that you are my world.' That seems like love to me." "I really don't know feelings are complicated. Think about it. If you had a crush on someone for almost your entire life would you tell them?" "If I knew I had even the slightest chance with them yes. And you have that chance why not take advantage of it." "Because it would kill me if she rejected me. So it's better to keep her as a friend then not have her at all." 

"Since when did you become so fucking wise," James said. "I wouldn't call it wise." "I would." I start to walk upstairs. "Yeah that's not gonna happen. You're gonna get into some clothes and we are getting ice cream and watching the stars." "Aye Aye captain."

I walk downstairs in a hoodie with a flannel over it and some light wash mom jeans. "You finally ready," James says with sass. "I don't have to come," I say in return. "Well actually you do because I am forcing you so hurry up."

We drove, well James drove to the local ice cream shop. Surprisingly it was still open. We both got our ice cream. James got chocolate, basic ass bitch. I got coffee with chocolate sprinkles. We started to walk out and then I heard a laugh that I know very well. I turn and see Anna with some boy. 

"Come on lets go to a mountain and watch the stars before you kill him and possibly her." James pulls me away to the car. I mean how can I be jealous we're not together. It's her life I should be encouraging her to go out on dates but I guess it kinda hurts. 

"Yo eat your ice cream before it's soup," James says taking me out of my trance. "Sorry," I say eating my ice cream. "No need to be sorry. You wanna talk about it?" he asks. "Not right now. Maybe when we get to the mountain. I need time to sort my thoughts. 

We both finished our ice cream and James drove to his favorite mountain to look at the stars. He says there is not artificial light so it's much easier to see the stars at night. We arrive at the spot we both get out of the car and sit on the edge of the cliff letting our legs hand over the edge. 

"So what's on your mind. You've been really quiet, which is nothing like you," James says. "I don't know. It hurt seeing her with someone else. I know it shouldn't because I'm not hers. Maybe it's because I wasn't the one making her laugh like that. I wasn't the one putting that smile on her face. I wasn't the one making her happy."

James Pov:

'Damn she really must be hurt,' I thought to myself. "So you think that because she hangs out with this boy once means that you don't make her happy. Come on, I've seen yall talk. Your presence just makes her smile. You make her happier. What makes you think that this generic white boy can do anything to you. Please. The boy has nothing. You have everything." "You really think that?" "Are you questioning me right know. The thoughts are all in the curls up here," I say pointing at the hair on top of my head. "How much you wanna bet he's racist and homophobic," I say trying to make her laugh. "Damn that's a double whammy for you then." "Did you just call me a slur," I say with a gasp. "WHAT NO," Madison says panicking. "I'm kidding. That was a joke. I love doing that to people. See they never understand that and get so defensive. It's funny," I say with a chuckle. "Yeah and scary," she says. 

"You know you're good at giving advice," Madison says with a slight, yet fake, smile. "Why thank you ma'am. Now shall we go. My parents are going to kill me because they probably think I'm out with Matt still and are for sure thinking unholy thoughts about what we are doing." "Yeah we should. Just tell them you were with me. If they don't believe you call me I'll back you up." "Thanks." 

That was all a lie. I told my parents I was staying over at a friends house which I am. Kai, Olivia, and me are sleeping at Lana's while her parents are out of town. They said there was gonna be another person there but I completely forgot their name. 

Cupids Angels💘 

                                                                                              Me: omw

Lana: mkay

Olivia: we're all here and we added jade to the gc

See that's what her name is. It's Jade. They said she is really nice. Matt was gonna tag along but his parents wanted him home. 

I make it to Lana's house with more information than possible. See you probably think I am a horrible person for telling them everything that Madison told me but I swear I'm a good friend. I'm not gonna tell them about the letter because that's Madison's and she can decide if she wants to tell anyone. 

Delaney's Pov:

I royally fucked up. First off, I didn't tell Madison about Elijah, which was a shitty decision. Second off, her and James saw us eating ice cream together. Elijah asked me and I couldn't say no. But I was just mentally comparing him to Madison the whole time. Not that I like her or anything. 

FUCK ME. Why do I have to be so dumb. She looked so hurt when she was leaving. Why though? 

Hope yall enjoyed that.  Anyways don't hate on Elijah (or do) We stan James love them. Have a good day or a good rest of your day. Eat and Drink something luv yall.
