Torn (James Maslow Fan Fiction)

Chapter 6

I woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating on the night stand. I started to move around and I realized that I fell asleep on James in his room.

My head was resting on his chest while our hands were interwined with each other. His right arm was around my waist. I turned my head to look at the clock without waking him up.

8:45am

"DAMN!!!" I blurted out as I stood up on the bed. "James wake up I'm going to be late for class if I don't get ready now!!" I said shaking James until he woke up.

"Calm down! Since when do you worry about being late for class?!" He said laughing.

"Haha very funny!" I said making a face at him.

I got up from the bed and started picking up my bag and shoes from the floor. As I was making my way out the door James grabbed my arm.

"Dude seriously! I need to start getting ready like NOW! Otherwise I won't make it! My class starts at 9:35am!!" I said panicking.

"Then don't! It's Friday, I have a day off at work. You should skip school for today."

"The James Maslow wants me to play hookie!!" I said sarcastically.

"Actually I do! You little lady need a day off from school and work! You work too much and you deserve a break. So why don't you call work and tell them you aren't feeling good." He said handing me my iPhone. "You and I will be spending the entire day in Los Angeles!!" He added.

"So staying up late last night eating pizza and watching a movie that we didn't even finish watching because we fell asleep wasn't enough?!"

"Nope! I need an entire day with my best friend. What do you say?!"

"Let's go! An entire day in LA with my best friend, now that's an offer I can't pass!"

"I knew you wouldn't refuse!" James smiled.

"Let me call Megan to let her know I don't feel good and then I'll get dressed."

I made my way to my room and right when I was about to call Megan I realized I had a text from Kaleb. Crap Kaleb!! I completely forgot to text him last night.

The text read: Do you still need a ride?

I replied back: Sorry I forgot to text you. Thanks but James & I made up last night & we're going to hang out in LA so if the professors ask about me can you please tell them I'm sick?!

 He replied back: I'm so glad you guys made up. And don't worry I'll let them know you weren't feeling too well. Have fun in LA! :)

Awe he's so sweet!!

I texted: Thanks!! I'll buy you a gift as a token of my appreciation!! :)

He texted: You really don't have to and let me guess its one of those t-shirts that says "My friend went to Hollywood and all I got was this stupid shirt!" lol

I started laughing. That would be hilarious if I got him that shirt.

I replied: Haha noo maybe!!! I can't tell you it's a surprise! xD

While I was waiting for his reply I called Megan our manager.

"Hey Megan" *cough* "this is Kimberly." I said sounding as sick as I could sound.

"Hey are you ok? You don't sound too good?" She said all worried.

"No not really. I think I got a virus or something. I woke up with a fever." I said coughing.

"Girl you better stay in bed and get some rest. That cough doesn't sound good. Don't worry about coming in, I'll find somebody to cover your shift."

"Thanks Megan." I coughed.

"Thanks for letting me know sweet heart. Get well soon and tell your handsome friend to make you some chicken noodle soup."

"I'll make sure James makes it for me. Bye."

"Bye sweetie!"

Yes she bought it! What a relief!

I got a text from Kaleb: Lol I have to go to class now. Have fun for the both of us! :)

I replied: I sure will!! :)

I looked in my closet for something to wear. Hmmm what should I wear today? I grabbed my black fitted low cut blouse and a grayish pair of skinny jeans. Yeah these would do.

I took a quick shower. I put my clothes on my thin frame, my purple and pink mismatch stripes socks, and my black Converse.

I straighten my long wavy dark hair. I hate my hair why couldn't it be naturally straight.

I applied my foundation, powder, mascara, and lip gloss. There good to go.

"Kimberly are you ready?!" James knocked on my door as he let himself in.

"James!! I didn't say to come in! What if I was still changing and you just walk in with out me telling you its ok?!" I laughed.

"Well I guess I would be in for a treat!" James winked.

"You are such a perv!" I said throwing my dirty shirt at him.

"Hey I'm a guy and if I get to see a half naked girl I'm not looking away!" He said smiling catching my shirt that I threw at him.

"Guys!" I said rolling my eyes. "Let's go I'm ready!" I said grabbing my bag and putting it across my shoulder.

When we got in his silver Grand Cherokee he automatically turned to our favorite radio station. We love singing along to our favorite songs and make fun of the ones that are just terrible.

"Puttin' my defenses up 'cause I don't wanna fall in love if I ever did that I think I'd have a heart attack"

"Oh my gosh I love this song!!!!" I said turning up the volume as I started singing along.

"Never put my love out on the line never said yes to the right guy never had trouble getting what I want but when it comes to you I'm never good enough..."

When I finished singing the entire song I put the volume back down.

"You really love that song. I could tell by the way you were singing." James said smiling.

"Hey don't make fun of my terrible singing!" I laughed. "I really love Heart Attack its one of my favorite songs. I wish I was as pretty as Demi."

"Don't start with that. We had this conversation before!"

"I'm sorry! I'm just saying the truth, Demi's really pretty!"

"And so are you!" James smiled.

"Pssh not even close! I'm no where near as pretty as Demi! If only I could be..." James put his hand over my mouth cutting me off mid sentence.

"No! We're not having this discussion. You and Demi are both beautiful so can you please stop comparing yourself to every girl you see."

"But"

"No buts! You're beautiful case closed! End of discussion!" James said annoyed.

I decided not to discuss that topic anymore. The last thing I wanted was to make James angry again.

For the rest of the ride we just sang along to songs and laughed about the most random stuff. For the first time in a while I was actually having fun.

For once I didn't have to worry about school or work. Just James and me all to ourselves in the City of Angels.
