Love hurts but so does getting shot by a gun

Chapter 8: The text

The date with Amanda, I mean it was pretty good.... great... Okay well perfect. Although I still had one thought lingering in my head, Riley.
What if she found out? Would she even care? I shrugged off that thought and decided to text Amanda.
J: Hey ;) I had a great time tonight, we should hangout again some other time!
I saw the text and smiled to myself oh shit wait... Wrong number. He/She replied.
Unknown: um what? Sorry who is this?
J: James.. Sorry I think I got the wrong number.
Unknown: Wait James? As in James Carter?
J : yes, why?
Unknown : It's Riley...
WAIT A MINUTE.. Seriously? Riley! Even when I'm trying to get my mind of her I just can't. I look at the text I sent her, what does she think It means I revised the text in my head.
Hey :) I had a great time tonight, we should hang out again some other time!
Oh come on, now what would Riley think, i guess I'll just have to find out.
I notice her location services are on, I check the time 8:45 not bad. But I already know this is a bad idea.
I finally get to her house and spot her sitting there watching something I think hugging a pillow as if she's about to cry but she's eating... Popcorn? I chuckle and slowly start climbing until I settle on an okay spot and knock at her window.
Riley POV:
I hear a little knock must be a branch or something.. But then again I don't have a tree anywhere near our whole entire house. Maybe a bird? I hear the knock again and this time I jump up. I rummage threw my closet and find a plastic base ball bat. Will do, I slowly move to the window and open it until I see James " What the fuck are you doing here?! " I say as I open the door, almost shouting then a quiet my voice knowing my parents would hear. " seriously are you crazy?! How do you even know where I live?" I say as he chuckles. " Next time make sure you have your locations turned off sweets, you know never know who will pop up" Is this boy delusional? He must be insane! " Well Im not letting you in " I saw shutting the window as he knocks harder... Then harder.. And know he's practicly banging on my window so I open it. " will you fucking stop! My parents might come ugh gosh fine just get in!" I say as he slowly gets inside.
Nice pj's be chuckles. I turn red and look at my shorts and tank top that are covered with cupcakes. " Suits you cupcake" he winks. Is he even seriously? I could seriously punch him in the face right now. He sighs and sits down on the bed. " okay I know you probally hate me, and think I'm crazy so Im sorry.. But I just want to talk" I knew I would regret this but I sat down beside him. " I guess it's okay.." Until we here a scream. " Horror movie Huh?" He asked. " Yeah I guess but it's also very emotional" he let out a little laugh. " yeah I could see " he says as he makes a crying face. I flush all embarrased. " Don't worry you looked cute.. Cupcake." Now I'm sure I was a tomato but I have him a little smile. I takes my hands and says, " look Im sorry but I don't know what to do, I really like you Riley but I don't know where we stand.. Im not sure what you want." I sigh because I really don't know what I wanted. I didn't want to date him.. But I also didn't want him to date anyone else. I knew it was extremely selfish. " I guess.. I just I want you to be there for me... As a friend." He nods.. " And we're both teenagers with feelings and over time maybe that friendship could turn into something more?" I smile " Maybe.. So best friends?" He chuckles. " yeah so.." He looks at the window. " would you let a best friend stay over?" I jaw opens but I quickly close it again. " awe come on cupcake." I blush again like an idiot. " okay I guess so. " I reply. " yay a slumber party!" He says and he flops in the bed and lays down throwing a pillow at me. Gosh he's such a goofball, but a cute one too. I smile and chuck the pillow back at him and I lay down. " alright cupcake, but I think we'd better call it a night." He says as I hear another scream and I jump into his arms." He smirks but with more of a smile and puts his arms around me. I was going to let go but I didn't I felt safe and warm. That's just how I wanted it to be when he removes a little hair away from my face. " yeah I think it's safe to say we should sleep, goodnight cupcake" he says and he puts his arms around me tighter. " night james.." I say snuggling into him.
This was a perfect moment but something still bothered me...
