He was James freaking Clistel. And what would he be doing in this kind of neighborhood. I still hadn't open my mouth of mine to answer. It was just too much to take in at once.
"Will I have to carry you ?" James asked me with his hand still outstretched and looking a little annoyed with me stalling.
"Mm.. Sorry" I mumbled quickly and took his hands and felt my breath hitch in my throat and my heart increase its pace just a little.
When I was up, I quickly let go of his hand to get rid of the weird feelings I was getting just by a simple contact and dusted my hands on my trousers. He stared me as I did so and he had this expression that I couldn't quite understand so instead chose to ask him.
"Is there something wrong ?" I asked him scrunching up my eyebrows together. He didn't answer right away but I still looked at him in curiousity trying to figure out what he was thinking as if I had psychic powers.
"I'm not a psychic, I'm just a boring normal teen" I said trying to get him to speak and it worked.. Well sort of.. He averted his head towards his shoes and shaking his head but I still was able to catch a glance his small smile.
"Jaren right ?" He asked as he started walking slowly leaving me behind.
"Yeah. How do you know ?" I asked catching up with him and walking next to him.
"I thought you were mute ?" He said looking at me curiously and having small grin. He was avoiding my question but I was going to make him answer one way or another.
"Well, guess you thought wrong, but answer me now" I replied and making a swift move in front of him to block him from walking on. He stopped abruptly and tried to go pass me but I still stood my ground and blocked him again.
He chuckled shaking his head. And man did that made me smile to hear his laugh. And before he looked back up at me, I hid the smile and put on an expression as if to say 'I'm still waiting'.
"I heard it a few times" he answers and not quite satisfied with his response but seeing as at least he replied, I let him and we started walking again. This time I trailed a little behind and found out he was practically dragging his feet slowly and figured something out.
"Are you drunk ?" I asked in complete shock. Why would he drink. He had everything he needed. What did he not have that he had to drink away the pain or hurt he feels.
He stopped abruptly in his tracks and answered.
"No" he said not looking back at me then continued walking and this time much slower as if to give no suspicion. But that only proved me that I was right. He did drink.
"Why ?" I simply asked him not trying to pry but I was very curious as to why.
"I don't want to talk about it" he said sighing and stopping at end of the road and turned to look at me.
"Which house is yours ?" He asked.
It took me two seconds to actually get his question.
"Um.. My house.. It's umm.. Right.. My house.." I kept on stuttering and looking around me to take in my surrounding.
"Don't tell me you don't know where you live ?" He said frustratingly.
"Oh my house" I said matter of factly.
He looked at me like 'seriously'
"We passed it. It was two houses away" I said nervously and looking at him innocently and saw him for second, just a little saw him smile before he spoke.
"Goodness gracious, you could have told me dude." He said quirking his eyebrows and started walking quickly towards my house.
I followed suit and we walked in silence but it was nice just hearing the crickets at the night. The street lights glowing yellow. I was being walked home by a boy.
"DUDE, WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU GOING?" James said and it sounded a little distant.
I found that I fell in a trance whilst walking.
"Um.. Walking ?" I said running back to him in front of my house.
"You sure are one of a kind" he mumbled to himself thinking I didn't hear him. A blush rose up to my cheeks.
"What ?" I asked just want to hear him again.
"Nothing" He said quickly and smiling towards me. I took out keys from my hoodie and thanking God it didn't fall when King had beating me up. I putted the key into the keyhole and opened it. I walked in and James followed right in.
"Why don't you come in ?" I said sarcastically and shaking my head then closing the door.
"Will do" he said looking around my studio apartment. It wasn't big but I liked it here.
"Nice home" he said after looking at everything. I just nodded. I was exhausted. My energy was completely drained just by seeing my lovely bed.
I quickly took off my shoe and climbed my bed. James did the same but laid upside down of me.
"You can sleep here if you want" I suggested to him. It would be nice to not sleep alone.
"Kay, but I can't stay for long" he said. I just mumbled a 'good' and started to get comfortable to sleep.
"Jaren" he asked getting into a more relaxed sleeping position.
"Yeah" my voice was starting to get hoarse cause of the sleepiness.
"Lily broke up with me, that's why I drank..." He seemed to have trailed off.
"James.. James.." I called out to him and turned to him to see he had fallen asleep.
So Lily and him are over. And he drank. Well what's going to happen next. I laid up to turn myself the same direction James was in and stared at him. He looked at ease. I gently brought up my hand and brushed my fingers across his cheek. I felt him stir a little so I quickly redraw my hand.
Time to sleep. I am Jaren and this is my life.
