Late that same night
James's Pov

I was at my house now after I left Y/n's and thought of so many things before laying in my bed. I sighed and looked up at my ceiling...thinking. She'd been through so much shit and yet I thought she had a perfect family with her being an only child. Maybe that's why we connect so well. We're both hurt and need to heal each other.

"James!" I heard my brother yell.

I got up and walked out, "What, David?"

He walked out of his room and looked at me, "Where did you come from?"

I paused, "Y/n's, I was just at her house."

He nods, "How's she holding up? After her dad left?"

I shrug as he leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets.

"She's not doing so good, her mom isn't either...but Y/n still is the same happy, pretty self she is. But I just found out something today that hurt me more..."

He nods, "What's that?"

I sigh, "She had a brother. His name was Johnny and I never knew that because I thought she was an only child."

He furrowed his brows, "Well, she isn't?"

I shake my head, "No- well she is now but she wasn't before... her brother Jonny was 17 and she was almost 8 when he died. I guess he treated her as if she were his daughter. But he died, shot and killed...I didn't know that and I guess he was like me...so Y/n loves me in the way that I remind her of him. But yet when her mom told me that, Y/n didn't want to talk about it anymore. Her mom said that I make her happy for once. I don't know if Y/n thinks it's putting a lot of pressure on me or what but it doesn't."

David nods, "That kind of love is sweet but be careful. At first it'll seem so perfect and sweet and then you see each other's flaws and you start to realize the person they are. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's a good thing to see their flaws...but be careful. You aren't experienced in dating, she's your second girlfriend-"

I groan, "My third. I don't want to seem like I don't get any women."

He laughs, "Fine. Your third. But I like her more than any girl you've introduced me to, that's saying a lot. Stay with her, you need each other."

Next day
Y/n's pov

I walked to the store and passed by an old flyer on a telephone pole. Missing! Johnny L/n, call (415)782-4455 if you've found him! Height: 6'2 185 lbs, brown hair, green eyes, 17! I ripped it off and crumbled it into my hand and tossed it down a alley way before walking to the mini mart.

"Hey, Y/n," the cashier said.

"Hey, Joe," I said back.

It was raining outside, finally. So I decided to treat myself with a slurpee and some KitKats. I grabbed what I wanted and readjusted my heavy jacket before taking my things to the front of the store and to the cashier. I set them on the counter and let him scan it before giving him a $10 and leaving with my things. I put my hood up, thinking of the times I would get slurpees with Johnny... and James. I sighed, hating that I couldn't let go of my brother so I had to try and pin it on James. I hated myself for that. I couldn't help but feel my eyes tear up a little as I walked along the sidewalk.

Honk! Honk!

I turned around and saw a mustang begin to roll up towards me. It's familiar.

"Hey, baby! Y/n, it's been a long time since I've seen you!"

Mitch.

I hitched my breath and began to walk faster.

"Hey!! I'm talking to you! Can't you hear me or are you deaf?" Mitch yelled.

"Go away!!" I said before seeing him rev his car up in front of me and stopping it before getting out and coming to me.

I stopped and tried to run the other way but he grabbed me and made me knock my slurpee to the ground and my KitKats.

"Stop!! Let go of me!! You ruined $10 worth of snacks!!" I said, worried mostly about my snacks and the fact my abuser was here.

"Babeee, I just want to see you-"

I turned to him, "Do not call me babe or baby because I am not your girlfriend. I'm dating James and he is the only person that can call me that! So fuck off with your pathetic attitude."

He glared at me as I breathed heavily and gulped as he smirked.

"Oh, really? You think I'm just gonna let you say what you want to me and get away with it?"

I nod, "You should."

He groaned, "Let me at least drive you home. It's raining, it's cold, you're a pretty girl walking home all by yourself...what if someone wants to take you somewhere that's not home?"

I glare, "Like yourself?"

He clicked his tongue and pointed to his car, "Get in. I'm driving you home."

I shake my head, "No."

He snapped on me, "Did I say you could say no? Get in."

I shake my head as he grasped my wrist and began to pull me to his car but I resisted and kicked him in his balls before ringing my hand free of his and running away. I ran so far without looking back as I knew I was having the second worst day. I wasted $10 of snacks, in the rain, Mitch so trying to kidnap me or something, James can't save me, I'm sad and I'm far from home. Not too far though. James was closer. So I began to run his direction and be careful as to make sure Mitch didn't follow. Once I knew I was okay enough to walk, I walked and caught my breath. But that didn't stop me from jogging a little and finally reaching James's house. I knocked on the door heavily as it swung open and there stood James.

"Baby? What's wrong?" He asked as I hugged him and couldn't help but cry a little.

I never cried, I never tried to, but when I did, it meant I wasn't okay. He hugged me back and shut the door while swaying side to side with me in his hallway.

"Shhh...it's okay...tell me what happened, sweetheart."

I held onto him and looked up at him and ranted about what happened as he filled with anger and sadness. He held me before leading me to his bedroom and shutting the door. He let me lay with him and cuddle with him before letting me change out of my cold wet clothes.

"Baby, let's get you changed, you're cold and wet. You'll catch a cold," he told me.

I nod, "Okay..."

We both stood as I took off my converse and watched him pick out his Mr.bubbles shirt and his baggy basketball shorts. I smiled and began to take my clothes off as he paused and stared at me. I locked eye contact with him as we both stood there for a second...

James...he was thinking something that I wanted.
