Risen (Sequel Of Rejection)

Chapter 7

"Well can you explain this Sam" James threw the magazine in front me. My eyes widened when I saw the picture of Jason and I on the front cover. Oh my god. This must've been from the photoshoot earlier.

"I don't know who would put this on there" I told James. He looked more than frustrated, every vein on his body was popping, he looked like he was about to explode in a minute.

"When did you even take the picture?!" He yelled. I was dead silent, if I told him the truth it'll just make him even more angry. I shrugged instead. He let out a loud groan. I don't know why he's getting so angry it's just a stupid picture.

"James can you calm down, its a picture" I tried to comfort him but he just pushed me away.

"Look at the headline Sam! Millionaire's next lover? It's more than a fucking picture, now the whole world thinks y'all are dating how am I supposed to be okay with that?" the stupid media and news reporters always make headlines like this to entertain the general public, he should realize this by now instead of being so over dramatic about it. Well technically I am lowkey cheating on him with Jason . Kissing Jason a few times don't count as cheating right? Who am I kidding, I practically made out with him I couldn't help myself. It was just so tempting besides this isn't my fault if Jason dumbass didn't force me to be part of his dumb photoshoot this wouldn't be happening at all. I hate myself for enjoying doing that photoshoot with him.

"Why are you so angry about this, it can all be cleared up" I said to James.

"Why did you even agree to doing all of this in the first place?" he said. He must've forgot that this whole thing is part of my job.

"Uhm...I have no other choice it's kind of my job James"

"Sam did you forget that you're engaged" his voice got quiet. please don't remind me of that.

"Of course not" I replied.

"Obviously you did if you let another man hold you like that while you have a fucking ring on your finger!" he spat. He got me all kinds of fucked up if he thinks it's okay to yell at me like that. He can get as loud as he can, I'll just be even more louder.

"First of all he's not another man, he's my best friend and second I'm pretty sure he's aware I'm engaged, third he just took a picture with me, why are you acting like we just fucked or something?"

He mumbled something under his breath but I couldn't fully hear him. He took a second to cool off and redeem himself. He let out a sigh and took a hold of my hands. This boy is so bipolar, I don't know how to deal with him.

His cold eyes turned back to it's original hazel color. Who even changes their mood that quick?

"Do you love me Sam?" He softly said while his eyes locked on mine. Honestly I did love James dearly but the only reason why I hate him sometimes is because of the way he yells at me or acts towards me. Sometimes he treats me like I'm some type of dog he owns. He's so bossy and acts like I don't have feelings at all. I'm afraid that one day he'll cross the line and do something to me that would end up breaking my heart.

He patiently stood there waiting for me to answer him.

"Why would you ask such a obvious question? Of course I love you James, and I don't plan on stopping"

He smiled down at me. "If you love me then you'll stop hanging around with that guy and getting too close with him" and he just ruined that little moment.

I didn't even bother arguing with him again my head is hurting from all that yelling earlier, I just nodded at his response.

"Good, I don't want to see you with him ever again" he gave me a kiss on my forehead. Ever again? I couldn't just ignore Jason like that. Plus how am I supposed to ignore him that easily if I see him almost everyday. If I ignored him, he would get frustrated with me or think he did something wrong then our friendship would be ruined once again.
