My Everything//James Franco A.U

Chapter 15

Amanda's P.O.V

We got our coffee to go because James made us go back and rest for a bit since I was feeling a bit lazy.

"I promise I won't ignore you." He tells me as we walks into the school.

"Mhm." I hum and kept my head down.

"Why are you looking down?" James said.

"Sorry?"

"Apology excepted." He smiled and threw his coffee cup away.

Someone laughed at his comment and I sighed knowing it was too good to be true. The bell rang and I mentally thanked god, as I started to walk away James grabbed my wrist.

"Where's my kiss?" He said a bit too loudly.

"What?" I asked with wide eyes.

I felt eyes on us as he walked over to me. "Amanda, give me a kiss goodbye. I have to go to class." He held me close.

I leaned forward afraid that he was only joking until I felt his lips mold against mine passionately. "Go to class, learn something. I'll meet you here after." He smiled giving another peck then walked off.

I felt breathless as I licked my lips and walked to class with a smile on my face. Maybe this way wouldn't be so bad?

James kept his promise and stayed with me all day giving me his full attention. I had a smile the whole day and kept an eye on my phone waiting for Sarah to answer me. She did, but she called instead of messaged and it was her it was her mom.

"Amanda." She said quietly.

"Hey! How is she?!" I asked.

"Still sick, I think I have to take her to the doctor." Her mom sighed.

"Why not the hospital?"

"Money's tight. You know that sweets, Sarah ways helped but she isn't working right now."

"I'll do her shift!" I offered needing to do something with my life.

"That's too much to ask." She bickered.

"It's fine really, I need to do something other than read." I laughed it off.

"That's hard to believe." Sarah's voice came into the phone.

"Hey! How ya feeling?" I asked her, James was sitting next to me eating a sandwich one arm around me the other holding his sandwich.

"Could be better." She coughed.

"Feel better Sarah, I'm gonna take your shift and bring you your money every pay day." I informed her.

"You get to keep at least half." She told me.

"That's fine." I looked at James who was watching me.

I smiled and he gave a smile taking a sip of my water. Sarah had to take her medicine and I had to get to class so we promised to talk later.

James walked me to our class and gave me kisses glaring at anyone who stared at us for too long. "Be good." I told him.

"No promises." He winked and went inside.

I followed and sat in my seat. I could tell he was staring at me and I tried t pay attention to what the teacher was saying but every time I turned my head James would too and I just wanted to catch him.

I got caught by the teacher and was humiliated. " I see Mr. Franco is more important then my lesson.."

I kept my head down and listen to the class laugh, teasing. "Is that hard to believe?" James joked and I felt myself slowly sliding lower in my seat. It soon stopped and the time dragged by slowly.

"That class was boring!" James groaned into my hair as he threw an arm around my shoulder.

We walked to the front of the school to go home. "I have to go, I start my first shift today."

"Alright careful." He tried to kiss me but I turned my head still upset then walked the other direction.

I quickly went to the cafe and started. It wasn't that hard of a job yet it had it's moments. For example, when a customer would be rude and threw a coffee cup at me because I gave her the wrong cookie.

When the shift was over I noticed a familiar beanie and book then smiled. I tapped his shoulder and smiled when he slowly put the book down with a chuckle, he turned to me and looked at the outfit. "Cute." He commented.

"I know." I rolled my eyes playfully.

He laughed and took my hand in his as we walked. "Were you here the whole time?"

"Yeah." He smiled looking back at the cafe over his shoulder then back to me. "I did my homework, ate a cake pop, then I read for a while..not bad."

I leaned my head on his shoulder and hung onto to his arm wondering how the hell did this happen to me. I'm never home, I had my first kiss recreantly with a guy who isn't with me-or at least I think so- and he just takes me on crazy adventures that I would never do.

He's changing my life.

"Sorry for saying that in class instead of backing you up. Force of habit to be an ass, but i'm trying to be better."

"What are we?" I asked.

"Whatever you want us to be."

"That doesn't help." I frowned.

He didn't say anything, he kept walking leaving me there with my own thoughts. "If I told you the truth you wouldn't believe me."

"Try me." I answered.

"I want to open up and tell you.." He stopped walking waiting for me to catch up. As I did he continued his statement, "Yet that would mean trusting you, something I can't do easily- yet your the same." He looks at me. Meeting my eyes he whispered, "You are like me. I am like you..we are one.

I smiled and we kept walking I had crossed my arms over my chest trying find warmth, he took his jacket off and placed it on my shoulders. I gave him a grateful smile and listen to him whisper,

"Never thought I would say some sappy shit like that."

I'm changing his life too.
