My Everything//James Franco A.U

Chapter 14

Amanda's P.O.V

There's moments where you think everything's great only to realize nothing has really changed. James was still with his guys ignoring me every chance he had, I stayed alone since Sarah was sick and I went to the coffee shop as my normal routine.

I sat in my spot and read my book sighing. Ignoring the bells chime against the front door I sipped my cold coffee grimacing from the bitter taste and felt a tap on my shoulder.

I looked up to see James sitting across from me with a smile, I remained poker faced. He gave me a questioning look and asked whats wrong.

Ignoring him I kept reading my book"Babe, what's wrong?"

"So..I'm your babe now? When you wouldn't even spare me a glance at school?" I hissed watching his face fall.

"My friends don't actually like you, so I didn't say anything."

"Mm." I paid for my stuff and left. It felt weird to leave so early, everything was weird now.

"Manda!" He ran after me.

"My name is Amanda." I kept walking.

"Stop for a second!" He took my bag slinging it around his shoulder. "I'm sorry I know they don't matter..wasn't thinking."

"Well, it's late go home." I reached for my bag.

He moved to the other side and followed me, I rolled my eyes ignoring him. I never expressed emotion to anyone, it was rare for Sarah to even see me tear up. I don't know what it was but I felt the tears sting at my eyes. James took one look at me and hugged me tighter than ever.

"It's okay I'll take you home and leave you alone if that's what you want."

"No!" I shouted. "That's not what I want, never have I ever been so dependent on some one then one day you show up and I'm head over heels for the new kid the guy that every girl wants, the guy I can't have!" I held back the tears that threatened to fall down my cheeks.

"Amanda, let's go." He took my hand and led me in the other direction. We walked in silence to his house and I couldn't help but notice the little things. He didn't say anything about me letting him know I'm crazy for him or the fact that I didn't want to go home with him.

Yet, I went. My dad was most likely not to be home and even if he was home he would suspect I'm at Sarah. Speaking of Sarah I have to check on her she's been sick for a while and I have to know if she's okay. I entered James house giving Dave a small smile and kept walking straight to his room while he talked to his mom explaining why I'm here.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Stupidest question you could ask me right now." I kicked my shoes off and looked at him. He shrugged and hugged me falling back onto the bed taking me with him. "I'm known for being a retard." He told me, I laughed at the sad truth and told him my thoughts.

"I was kidding." he pouted. I smiled at him and quickly fell asleep I his arm's wishing that everything would be okay.

The next morning me and James were in the same position we were the night before and had to get ready for school. I woke him ignoring his protest and asked for sweater. Betsy being the kind woman she is bought me clothes again, I thanked her and changed quickly waking James up again.

"Well, where is my kiss?" he asked eyes still closed.

"You get one when you take notice of my existence at school." I heard him groan and I rolled my eyes not giving into him.

I got my bag and brushed my teeth with the spare toothbrush he has in his room. "Manda?"

"Amanda." I corrected.

"Stop it." He said sternly starting to brush his teeth.

Ignoring him once again I went to the living room and thanked Betsy once again then grabbed a banana saying my goodbyes to the boys and headed to the coffee shop.

"Amanda!!" I heard him yell.

"Shh!! Do you know what time it is?" I asked him.

"Do you?" He gave me wide eyes and followed me. I stopped walking and turned to him. "It's early seven." He stated.

"I didn't realize." I sarcastically snapped.

"Obviously you're bot a morning person.. But I care for you anyway. Why are we up so early? School starts at-" he looked at his watch, "-eight and here we are walking over there. "

"I am going to get my coffee and early book reading, I don't know what you are doing." I pecked the corner of his mouth and ran down the stairs.

He followed beating me and grabbed my hips stopping me. "We!!" He yelled in my ear. "Are going to get coffee and read."

"I never said you can join." I crossed my arms over my chest and watched him ignore me and walked.

I huffed and followed him to my favorite place. I guess it was kind of our place now.
