A new beginning

Chapter 11

JAMES POV;

"Morning." I hear a soft voice whisper in my ear, "took you long enough to wake up." I turn to face the person, Amelia.
"I like to sleep in." I reply as I rub my eyes, "what time is it anyways?"
"10:06am. oh, 10:07." She says looking at the clock. I jump up and start to quickly rush to get out the door, "what are you doing?"
"I need to be home for-" I look at her face. I stop and clear my throat, "I need to help clean the house before lunch. you know, Carter."
"Yeah, 'cause he's gay?" she gets out of bed and walked towards me in her white ACDC t-shirt and black shorts. She gives me a smile and kisses me, "Love you." It felt like the world stopped at that very moment and I began to think, she LOVES me? But, I don't love her. Yet, I added quickly.
I snapped out of it and saw her staring at me, "love you too." I said quickly even though it wasn't fully true. She smiled and I smiled back, I started to get ready again. I finally got out the door and rushed home, I am not missing it. I need to be there when Carter wakes up, it's the time he looks the cutest, all tired, his hair all messy and un-styled the way I like it, his cute morning walk and let's not forget that I can't miss the smile, but not any smile, the very first smile of the day, it's always the truest, most real, most cutest of them all. Plus I need to make breakfast I owe him, he always makes me food and I never make him anything plus I should probably make it up to him since I ditched him last night, I still feel so bad. I could just imagine him sad sitting on his bed a tear rolling down his face, his heart crushed. I feel super bad now.
I stood at the front door now, my hand on the knob. That's when it hit me, what I said earlier, I'm acting so gay! Carter is the one making me act like this, maybe I should leave, not just for another night but forever. At least until I'm not acting like a totally weirdo. I take my hand of the handle and turn around, I began to make my way back to Amelia's, I sighed, "man, I feel like I'm doing a work out." I get back in my car.

CARTER POV;

I sat on the couch, looking at my phone then looking up through the window to see any sign of James coming home. I need to talk to him about last night, I need to say sorry for everything I did wrong and I-
A text message, from James! I read it out loud in excitement, "hi, sorry I can't be home today," slowly my excitement faded, "I decided to stay with Amelia for a while to figure things out. My life is a mess right now and the only person I want to see right now is Amelia. I know you're mad and sad but trust me I know what I'm doing, talk to you soon, James." I can't believe him! My heart was crushed, his life is a mess?
James isn't acting like his old self, laughing, joking, smiling. Now he's just sad, confused and most of all not my true friend. When James isn't himself I can feel something's off and this text message was defiantly one of those moments. I need to find a way to get him back to normal and see what's wrong. I searched up a bunch of different sights and I found some good information, and bad at the same time, James is in a stage where he is trying to figure out who he is, this occurs when one is feeling sad or lost in his own mine set. So James is double thinking about him being Bi, but probably not in a good way. James needs space for this and if it might prove to him that him being Bi is a real thing and not just some mind game, i'll give him some time and space.

JAMES POV;

Carter. Amelia. Carter. Amelia... CARTER.

CARTER'S POV;

I miss him. I breath in and begin to sing;

When your looks don't look like they used to before and I can't sweep you off of your feet.

JAMES POV;

Will your lips still remember the taste of my love, will your eyes still smile from your cheeks.

BOTH POV;

And darling I will be loving you 'til we're seventy and my heart will still love us hard at twenty-three.

I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways, maybe just the touch of a hand. Well me I fall in love with you every single day and I just want to tell you I am.

CARTER POV;

So baby now. Take me into your loving arms, kiss me under the light of a thousand stars.

JAMES POV;

Oh darlin' place your hand on my beating heart;

I sighed "I'm going home."

CARTER POV;

I'm sitting at the dinner table having nachos when someone swings the front door open and rushes towards me, I get up. He kisses me, "Noah, what are you doing?"
"I'm sorry, I just miss you." I thought for a while, well, I thought, James is with Amelia now and not coming back for a while plus, I need someone to hangout with and get out more.
"Okay."
"What?"
"I'll get back together with you." I might regret this but I believe in second chances. Noah got a huge smile on his face, which was cleaner then usual, he shaved and it wasn't covered in zits. I could also tell that he started to work out and his in better shape. I don't know why all of a sudden he's like this but I like it I I feel like it will be great.
"Thank you." he did a small laugh, "so, where's James?" Why did he care?
"He left." I looked down at the floor. Noah gave me a hug an I hugged back with my face buried in his chest.
"Carter?" I let go of Noah an looked at the front door which was opened once again.
"James!"
