i woke up in James bed that morning, and could feel his arms around me.
And that thing still in my mouth.

I got up really stow and quiet, not feeling the need to wake him up this early.
I also pulled the pacifier out, leaving it on the bed where my head was.

I steamed at myself in the bathroom mirror for a bit.
My hair was a mess, half my makeup was gone, and I only had one sock on.
What the hell

I wandered Into the spear room where I kept clothes, turning the light on.
This room was odd to me. It's was like every time I came in it got more, girly. New teddy's would appear on the shelf, more blankets on the bed, drawers seemed fuller.
I even noticed a new chest of drawers show up recently, with little woven baskets on top, with lids so I couldn't see what was in them.

I thought about it while I pulled out some clothes.

i didn't really have any of my comfy clothes at James's so i was kinda stuck with either pjs or nicer clothes

i didn't really have any of my comfy clothes at James's so i was kinda stuck with either pjs or nicer clothes. which i don't mind wearing, i just don't have an excuse that often.

James took a while to wake up, calling my name from his room, and i could hear him shuffling around, clearly coming looking for me.

"morning." i say, leaning on the kitchen counter, seeing him walk out in nothing just some joggers.

immediately my eyes were locked on his chest.
it really is a mystery how he stays so chiselled because i have no idea where he finds the time to go to the gym.
James didn't say anything as he walked over to me and rapped his arms around me.
I Felt his his breath on my neck as he set the side of his head on my shoulder and his fingers make little circular movements on my back.

"James?" I said quite, unsure of what was going on.
"Yes Dianna?"
"What are you doing?"
"Just expressing my gratitude." He says matter of a factly, only adding to my confusion.

James picked me up and I quickly let my legs rap around his torso, before he puts me on the counter.

"lizzie and Derik are having so much trouble." he breaths, rolling his eyes and dragging out his sentence. "he cant get her to eat anything, or get dressed and I've got no idea what he could do.
"has he tried hugging her?" i say looking at him, giving him an easy smile.

"hugging her?" he questioned, raising his is eyebrows, confusion glazing his eyes.
"it worked for me?" i shrug.

i did notice lizzie was quieter the last few time id spoken to her.

James's looked and me and smiled, making me completely forget to ask about that room.
"you hungry?" he asked looking at the time on his phone.

"yea." i said kicking my feet as i looked him up and down again.

"Don't be a dick." I say looking at my phone, my legs sprawled out in-front of me while I leaned on the wall in the stairwell.

"Im not I'm just saying she's a bad influence ." David said as he sat across from me.

We were talking about Lizzie, finding out that she punched Derik so hard he now has a black eye.

"Whatever the reason for it I sure it's a good one. Lizzie isn't violent, she's actually sweet, Derik probably just freaked her out." I say, defending her.

"I don't recall you ever punching James when he freaked you out."
"I'm not Lizzie. Lizzie isn't me. We have different reactions for things." I say looking up from my phone.

"i don't recall you punching James when he put that pacifier in your mouth last night." David said making my head snap up.
"how'd you know about that?" i question.

"James told Bella's daddy about it, who then told bella, who was told not to tell you that she new about it, she then told me so now i'm telling you." he said.

i was about to speak but then the bell went and i began getting up.
"why the hell is he telling anyone at all? i say, and my anger starts to seep in.

its embarrassing enough in my own head and now everyone else gets to know too? i love bella but she's a blabber mouth. she's probably told all her little friends.
fucking grate.

we bump into Taylor as we walk the halls and she joins us as we walk.
"Taylor can you help me sneak out?" i ask looking up at the tall read head. 

"uhm why?"
"i need a brake." i say looking up at her with pained eyes.

"fine." she says pulling me out the corridor, leaving David to go to class.

"come on." she tells me taking my hand and jogging down to the back doorway, where we begin down to the carpark.

"were not leaving campus because that could get me done for kidnapping. literally. so we are just sitting in the truck for now." she tells me as i get in.

"i love you." i say looking at her and her bottom lip pouts.
"i love you too Dee." she says with sympathy. "so whats going on?"

i sit and rant to Taylor telling her about all of last night and what David told me and about how betrayed i felt by everyone.

"so who did you think he was on the phone to?" she asks sipping her water.
"i don't even know." i say with my head in my hands.

i went to pick up my phone, and turned it back on.
i knew James was going to know i wasn't in my last period and was probably messaging me so i turned it off after i got in the truck.

maybe that was a mistake.

immediately my eyes watched as my lock screen flooded with missed calls, messages and voice mails left by people like, James, toney, bella, even my brother and Derik.

there was also a message from David telling me he could see me from his science class window and a picture of me, making laugh a little.

i immediately went to james's contact, reading the ton of messages he left.

where are you?
why are you late for class?
i left you alone for one lunch and you've already gone rouge?
[3 missed calls]

seriously Dianna answer me.
are you with Taylor?
are you okay? i just want to know your okay?
[14 missed calls]

i felt a pang of guilt in my heart as i read the message and saw the 17 missed calls.
"uh oh"
i saw the time realising there was like 2 minutes before class was out.

"i should probably go wait by James car. ill see you tomorrow. love you." i say leaning over and hugging Taylor.

"okay love you too."
