As the days slowly and painfully go by on my favourite week of the month James seemed more annoyed then me.

And that's saying something.

Every morning I would wake up begrudgingly, James would hopefully ask if it was over. I always said no, with a smart remark afterwards of course.

He would then grumble about how I was a witch.

Just replace that w with a b.

But he was cool about it, he makes sure I'm comfortable. He cooks for me, also quite handy.

To bad he'll only do this for a week.

Life has been looking better and better since I told James.

I also took the time to tell Belle a shorter version of the story which she then told the other girls.

This was the last week that James was going to be off before starting college. I was in fact disappointed, a lot more then I wanted it to bother me. It'l leave me with more time with my friends which is always amazing but something about it scared me.

I have feeling il be eating a lot of Kraft dinner for lunch.

Well goodbye flat stomach.

Just kidding, never had one. Ha ha ha.

James comes from the kitchen snapping me its of my thoughts. I eye his choice of clothing, "where are you going?" I ask referring to his shorts and white shirt.

"Going to run, gotta work out to impress the ladies."

I laugh at his jokes, but I couldn't ignore the twinge of jealousy in my chest.

Don't be silly, of course he's aloud to have a girlfriend. It wouldn't affect you anyway.

But for some reason, I wouldn't let myself believe it.

He notices how quiet I was being, " would you like to come?"

I shoot him a 'you better be joking' look. I was good at that look. He lofts his hands laughing, "didn't think so."

"You think I'm not active, and lazy?" I was just playing with him now.

"Uh- uh no I meant-"

"Are you saying I'm fat?"

"Of course not!" His eyebrows were knit together contemplating his answer. "Dude, I was kidding. But if it did come down to it, I couldn't beat you in a race."

I didn't know where this extra courage was coming from but I was rolling with it.

His face relaxes, "I'm glad you're kidding but we all know who would win."

I wave my finger in the air in a circular motion and then landing it on me. "Lil o'l me."

He rolls his eyes, "see you later Finley."

"Don't die James."

"Will do." He salutes me as if he was in the army, before walking out the door.

My phone begins buzzing non stop, waking me from my glorious nap. I check the caller, it said Rachel. I frown, she never calls especially when she's at a conference.

-"hey?"

-"hey Finley its Rachel."

-"how are you?"

-"I called to talk about James actually, I just got a call, he's in the hospital."

A weird feeling appears in the pit of my stomach.

-"Finley, are you still there?"

-"ye- yeah."

-"I don't think it's that bad but I thought you'd like to know."

-"thank you Rachel. I think il go see him."

-"ok. Tell me how he is. I would go but I'm 10 hours away...."

-"I get it. See you soon Rachel."

-"bye sweetie."

I hear the line cut dead.

As soon as I hail a taxi I send him to the hospital. "As fast as you can please." He nods, the guy was probably in his late fifties with a balding head.

He didn't look like the guy who assaulted he but it brought back the memories and its scared her.  She quickly dismisses it because James needed her right now.
