My Neighbour

Riley

It's been a long day, all I was thinking about right now was my bed. But I still had a couple more hours of torture first
"Heyyy" James smiled walking into Chem kissing my cheek just out of view of our teacher
"Hey" I smiled as he took his seat
"How's today going" He asked wrapping an arm around me
I smiled at his gesture making him smile back
"Pretty good now you're here" I said making him lean a little closer before locking eyes with our teacher
"Sorry guys am I interrupting?" He asked and I had to hold in a laugh and from the looks of James, so did he

Chem soon came to an end and James and I were stood at our lockers waiting to meet the gang before heading to our next lesson
I had my arms wrapped around James' neck while his was firmly on my waist
"What do you have first" He said pecking my lips in between each word
"English, why?" I asked 
"Did you want a ride home?" He smiled and I nodded before he pressed our lips together for a longer kiss

"Come on loverboyyy" Eldon said peeling James off of me walking away, he turned back and smiled at me while Giselle and Thalia pulled me in the opposite direction
"You two are cute, but you two are also going to end up trouble if you continue to make out in the corridors" Giselle teased making me roll my eyes

The final bell of the day rang and it meant we were all free at last. Today is the first day in a long time where I won't have to study, to worry. I have no plans and boy I'm happy about it
"What are you and James up to this evening?" Thalia asked as we walked the corridor
"He's driving me home and that is all I know" I said with a smile on my face
"Speaking of. There are the boys" Giselle said pointing to the locker where Hunter, Eldon and West stood
"Well, most of them" I chuckled walking over

"Howdy" Hunter said making us all chuckle
"Where is James?" I asked and all the boys shrugged
"no idea I'm afraid Riles, he was here" Eldon said making me nod
"What did you guys have?" I asked 
"music" West said making me nod as I headed to the Music block

When I got there, the classroom was empty. Nobody was there except the teacher, I peered in to see James' bag still there which confused me
"I'm sorry to bother you Miss but have you seen James?" I asked and she nodded pointing to the rehearsal room behind me
I smiled in her direction before heading over towards it

The closer I got the clearer I could hear two voices
"Beth I get you miss me but nothing is going to happen" James said making me smile as I peered into the room
There low and behold he stood with Beth
"Please James, just give me one more shot. You don't need to tell Riley or anything" Beth said making me glare
"I can't Beth. That isn't fair on Ri" He said

"James please" she said getting a little too close for comfort, I watched the exchange as James did nothing to pull away
"Just one more chance" She asked, James still not saying a word closed his eyes and turned his head with still no sign of pulling away
"Just one" She whispered cupping his cheek and kissing him

My heart felt like it had been ripped out, not only was I watching Beth kiss James, I was watching as James didn't pull away
James was with Beth when he cheated on her with me. He may not have labelled it but it was a relationship
So it makes sense he would be able to cheat on me too

Why does this fucking hurt so much.
