Love Has Barriers (James Maslow Story)

Trust

It's so weird. it's already 7:30 and James was supposed to text me, asking to come over. I wonder if he changed his mind.

"Aylinn?" I hear Logan call me from the front door.

"I'm in the kitchen"

He walks in and sees a look on my face.

"What's wrong?"

"This morning, James said he would text me asking if it would be a good time to come over. its almost 8 and he hasn't said anything."

"I'm sure he'll text you soon"

He grabs a cup of orange juice and goes into the living room, meanwhile I stay right where I am sitting and check my phone once again. I know I seem like those crazy girlfriends, but it's just worrying me that I haven't heard of him since the morning. We seemed fine this morning so I don't know what's going on. I try to stop thinking about it and grab a trail mix bar and head to my room. I don't have anything to do so I decide to work on some song writing, after all i need to get working on another album. I must be really tired because I don't even realize when I fall asleep.

JAMES' POV

It's already 9:20 and I still can't stop thinking about what I saw at Aylinn's house. She has texted me a few time to ask if I was going over to her house but I ignore them. I don't feel like talking to anyone and I know its making me look like a jerk, me not giving Aylinn an explanation, but she's the one that cheated on me and lied to me. To think this morning we were perfect. I finally give up for today and decide to go to bed early, I really need the rest to try to forget about everything.

AYLINN'S POV

I'm startled awake by a loud bang that sounds like came from the kitchen. I quickly jump out of bed and run to the kitchen. Once I get there I see Logan picking up a cupcake pan from the ground and a few muffins splattered around the floor.

"What the Hell Logan, you scared the living shit out of me"

he looks at me with a sympathetic look on his face.

"I'm sorry, I was making blueberry muffins and I accidentally grabbed the pan without an oven mitt."

"what kind of person takes something out of the oven without an oven mitt" I say while kneeling down next to him and helping him clean.

"Obviously me" he says while picking up the last one and taking them to the trash bin.

I go over and sit on the table stool, eating one of the muffins that didn't fall on the floor.

It looks like he had some extra batter so he starts to make more muffins.

"Are you ok?" he asks

"Yea I guess" I respond

"You guess?"

"It's just that James never texted me and well-" I check my phone and see that there is still no text "there's still nothing."

"Hmm that is sorta weird, James never takes a day to answer a text."

"I know" I say while taking another bite from my muffin.

"Mmm these are good Logan, Good Job"

"Thanks Baby sis."

He finishes pouring the batter onto the cups and puts the pan into the oven.

"I'm going to go get ready"

"Ok" he answers

"Make sure to use an oven mitt this time" I say already walking away.

I take a quick shower and straighten my hair and apply minimal make-up. I decide on wearing black high waisted shorts with a white crop top.

Once I'm finished I go downstairs and do some house chores. I see that Logan cleaned the kitchen and that the muffins where on the cupcake stand on the counter. I grab another one and eat it before going back to cleaning. Once I'm done with the house chores, I go to the living room and check my phone. Still no text. I decide that it's probably time to call him up.

James Pov

It's about mid day and I'm at my house playing with Fox. I take him outside to use the restroom, when my phone starts ringing. I check the caller ID and I see Aylinn's name and picture on the screen. I take a deep breath and answer her call.

"Hello" I say when I answer

"Hey James. I just wanted to check up on you. You never answered my texts last night and well I never heard from you.....I was starting to get worried."

"I'm fine." I say in a cold voice

"Are you sure? You don't sound too well, do you want me to come over?"

"No, that's not necessary. I'm not home and well I've been really busy, still am so that's why I haven't answered."

"Alright well if you need any-"

"I really have to go. I'll try to text you later." I say interrupting her.

"Ok. I Love Y-"

I hang up before I get a chance to hear her finish her sentence. I can't talk to her, not without thinking back to yesterday. I know though, that I will have to confront her someday soon.

Aylinn's Pov

"Ok. I Love Y-"

I hear the call end before I have time to finish. This isn't the way James has ever acted towards me. All cold and without any emotion. I feel tears start to prickle my eyes. Did I do something wrong?
