"Denis I can't run from him forever," I said.
"But it's putting your safety on the line," he said.
"I'll be fine. Now stay in the bedroom until you hear me say so please," I said. He nodded and kissed my cheek. He shut the door behind him and I sighed. It's now or never.
It was raining outside. I love the rain, it seems so peaceful. A knock interrupted my thoughts. I slowly walked to the door and saw a soaking wet James. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him. I squeaked at his sudden movement.
"Cassidy," he breathed.
"James. I," was all I managed to say before he smashed his lips onto mine. I quickly pulled away.
"Right. You have a boyfriend," he sighed.
"Come in?" I questioned. He nodded and walked through the door.
"Is he here?" He asked.
"Y-yes. Um. Would you like to meet him?" I asked.
"Cassidy. I came here because I want you. I miss you," he said.
"James. No I can't be with you. Not after what you've done to me. I'm happy now," I said.
"Cassidy. Please. I can't live without you. I need you. Without you I can't go on," he said.
"James stop. This is wrong. It's all wrong. Me being with you in the first place is wrong," I added.
"You can't do this to me Cassidy. You're mine. You will always be mine. I can't sit here and watch you with another guy," he said.
"No one ever told you that you had to watch. You can simply move on," I said.
"No I can't Cassidy. Don't you understand that I want you?"
"James no."
"Cassidy. Please. I don't want to be on this god forsaken earth without you," he said as he collapsed on his knees. My eyes swelled with tears. I can't do this.
"James. You can have any girl. What is so special about me?" I cried. He wrapped his arms
Around my waist and placed his forehead on my stomach.
"I don't know. There. There's something about you. You make me feel weak. Maybe that's why I hurt you because I didn't want to feel weak. But if I have to be weak to be with you I will," he said.
"James I can't be with you. I'm with Denis."
"Leave him. For me. For us," he begged.
"James I can't. I love him. He takes care of me. He wants to raise the baby as his," I said.
"What? You're going to allow that?" He asked.
"Well yeah James. What do you expect? I'm in a relationship with him. I want him to raise the baby. I don't want you to. James you're a drunk. You're in a band. When will you ever have time for this baby?" I asked.
"When we're not touring. I haven't drank. I haven't touched a single drop of alcohol in weeks. I'm changing. I'm changing for you," he said.
"James. I gave you your chances. You fucked those up. I'm not taking you back, now get up please," I said. He kissed my stomach and stood back up. He softly caressed my cheek and kissed my forehead.
"I promise I will get you back, even if it's the death of me," he said before letting go of my face. I looked up and saw that he was crying. I've never seen him cry.
"I love you Cassidy," he said before leaving my house. I took a few seconds to gather myself together. I went into my bedroom and saw Denis laying on the bed. He quickly got up and walked to me. I threw my arms around him and started to sob.
"It's okay love," he cooed.
"what are we?" I asked.
"We're friends. We're a couple," he smiled.
"Why would he do this to me?" I cried.
"Because he cares," he whispered.
"Denis. Don't leave me."
"I won't," he said and kissed my cheek, "now let's go to bed."
I laid and bed and felt Denis wrap his arms around me as I placed my head on his chest.
"I'm not going anywhere," he reassured.
