Fallen for my best friend

Chapter 2

The rest of the day went by in a blur I didn't see Niall all day I think he went home so that was a relief  i decided to text James and see if he wanted to see a movie tonight I needed to be out or I would cry he quickly replied of course you want me to pick you up or meet there? I said pick me up at 7? He sent a winky face and said ill see you then! When I got home I went up and started packing Nialls things up I felt the tears start to come as I sniffled I slammed his belongings in the box and jerked it up I went and knocked on my brothers door he said what I cracked the door and asked if he was decent he said yeah I walked in and said can you please drop this off to Niall he said of course I'm meeting up with them later for football he said are you ok I muttered what do you care he said hey your my sister my twin at that I care I said I'll be better after I get over this he said he's not worth your tears I said people keep saying that but it doesn't make me feel any better. I said thanks again and headed to get ready I picked out an outfit and headed to shower once I was in I started to sob uncontrollably I couldn't stop crying I finally pulled my self together and washed I got out and got dressed and started on my makeup I then ran down stairs to grab something and I heard damn you move on fast I knew that voice I slowly turned there stood Niall I quickly snapped what are you doing here he said I'm picking your brother up and my things I felt tears starting to form I grabbed my water and said your so worthless and ran back upstairs I couldn't believe he had the nerve to be at my house it made me so mad I quickly finished getting ready and then I heard my doorbell I ran down and opened the door James stepped in Niall said I should of known I rolled my eyes and gave James a hug I said thanks for going with me tonight to keep my mind off a certain someone he said of course I said are you ready he said yeah let's go. Once we were in the car I looked out the window and we rode in silence I knew if I said something I would start crying because no matter what people said I still loved him and it sucked that we were no longer together. Once we got to the movies James opened my door he said are you sure your up for this I smiled and said yes of course I can't thank you enough for coming with me once in the line James was ahead of me I had my wallet out ready to pay when he said come on I paid for you too I smiled again we were going to see The Breakfast Club which is my favorite movies they have flash back Fridays at the theater where they play old 80s movies he said I'm getting a drink would you like something I said no thanks he grabbed his and we headed in the theater we found our seats and started talking quietly while we waited for the movie to start next thing I knew I heard a group of loud boys come I I looked back and here came my brother and his friends including Niall they sat 2 rows back from us I heard Niall say I told you they'd be in this one it's her favorite movie I heard my brother say what do you want a damn cookie for being right. We're they spying on me I felt a rage come up in me I had a good mind of going up and cussing them out but James took my hand and smiled and said it's not worth it let's give them what they came for and winked he held my hand and when the movie started I pulled his arm around my shoulder and laid my head on his shoulder and rested it there most the movie. I suddenly heard Zayn and Harry yell no Niall it's not worth it as I turned here he came down the isle he said WTF are you doing why are you rubbing this shit in my face I said Niall we're in a movie be quiet he said I won't what are you doing I said I'm watching a movie with a friend and you and your buddies decided to spy on me because my brother knew where we we're going and you knew I'd be seeing this. He said so you really moved on that fast I said Niall we we're doing that because we knew you were watching us I looked back at James and said wanna get out of here he said yeah let's go I stormed past him and when I did Niall grabbed my wrist yanking me back he said I'm not done! I saw my brother quickly stand up and then James quietly said I'm gonna give you exactly 10 seconds to let her go and then I'm gonna beat the shit out of you and then I'm pretty sure her brother is going to do it next as he's on his way down here Niall looked up and saw my brother coming he quickly let me go and we headed out. When we got out the theater I buried my face in James chest and sobbed I continually apologized for ruining our night he said I've had a wonderful time with you I love hanging out with you but I do hate seeing you so sad it breaks my heart you deserve better. I said I love him still and I know my brother is gonna kick his ass friend or not because he put his hands on me. He leaned down and whispered so are you crying because you miss him or because you know he's gonna get hurt I whispered back both. I finally pulled myself together and he said how about I take you to my favorite spot. We headed downtown then got out and walked to the water front it was a beautiful night the stars were out and glistening off the water there was a light wind so it was kind of chilly James took his jacket off and draped across my shoulders I smiled and whispered thank you. He said I know it hurts now but it's gonna get better I promise. And it's ok to worry about him even miss him have you tried talking to him sometimes it helps. I shrugged and said he's not mature like you he don't know how to do things civilized. Then maybe when you get home text see if he's ok it will ease your mind I said I might do that I said while I don't forgive him I don't want him hurt either and I know my brother. I nestled into James arms and said thank you for being there for me he smiled and said I wouldn't have it any other way. He leaned down and kissed the top of my head and whispered let's get you home you've had a long day I said ok and we walked back to the car. On the way back my phone buzzed I looked down it was a text from Niall it said I'm so sorry more than words can explain for putting my hands on you can I see you please to apologize in person. I closed out the message and continued to look outside the window James took my hand that was trembling and said I'm always here for you I half smiled and said I know we finally pulled up James walked me to the door I took his jacket off and gave it to him and hugged him I stood on my tip toes and kissed his cheek I said thank you I'd be lost with out you he smiled and walked back to his car. I turned and unlocked my door and went in the house was pitch black I guess my brother and sister were still out and my parents were in bed. I headed up to my room and went in my balcony door was cracked I thought that was weird as I thought I had closed it I walked over and shut it and headed to the bathroom I undressed and jumped in the shower once out I threw the towel around me and headed back to my bedroom to find me some close I flicked the light on and opened my closet and when I did I jumped he quickly said don't scream please. I loudly whispered what are you doing here Niall he was covered in blood and he looked pale in the face he said I know you hate me but I need help your brother beat me so bad I can barely walk I needed to hide and knew he wouldn't look here I threw some cloths on and locked my door and turned the light off and turned on the lamp so they'd think I was sleeping I helped him up in my chair and looked him over I didn't know where to start there was so much blood. I whispered my brother did all this he said yes he said if I even looked at you again he'd kill me. He whispered I'm so sorry. I looked at him looking so pitiful I said it's ok I'm ok. He smiled and said am I dying I smiled and said not on my watch i Gotta get you to the hospital can you walk to my car he said I can't move he kept closing his eyes I said Niall you have to stay awake talk to me I said I'm calling for help. I dialed James number he answered immediately I said James I need your help in a frantic voice my brother beat Niall almost to death i need help getting him down my stairs and to the hospital before my brother gets home he said I'll be there in 10 minutes. I turned and Niall had closed his eyes again I took his hand he opened them slightly I said stay awake remember I said talk to me he looked at me and a tear fell I wiped it with my free hand he whispered I can't breath I'm so weak I know this isn't easy I put my finger over his lips and shh him I said don't worry about anything he whispered I still love you I felt a tear escape I said Niall I promise I'm gonna get you help James finally got there and we headed to the hospital he was in and out of consciousness when he came too he would ramble about how he loved and needed me once there they rushed him in I held his hand until I couldn't anymore. Me and James sat in the waiting room which seemed like hours I kept telling James he could leave that I just needed to make sure he made it through surgery he would smile and say I have no where to be besides here. Finally the doctor came out he said it was touch and go for a while he had lots of internal bleeding but he's stable and resting in recovery. I started to ball James held me and asked the doctor could I see him he said of course this way we followed him back when we walked in his eyes were closed I took his hand and he opened them and whispered your still here. I smiled and said I needed to make sure you pulled through. James stepped out while we talked I finally said well I guess I'll head out so you can rest I bent down to kiss his cheek he turned his head and our lips locked I quickly stood back and touched my lips and looked at him. I whispered I have to go. He took my hand and said I'm sorry , dont leave me , I want you here with me. I know that your love is gone and this isn't easy but I need you here with me. I sat down in the chair and held his hand u til he was asleep for the night I gently kissed his forehead and wrote a note that read
