Wander Lost

Chapter 6

Chapter 6 (James's POV)

My feet slammed against the pavement and my eyes burned as I raced into the darkness, ignoring my surroundings and the faint sound of a voice behind me. I felt depression slowly seep into my skin and my heart squeezed as I realized it was never meant to be. Our love. My love. Never to be returned.

(Jared's POV)

I turned my head to and fro before seeing James running down the block. I called out his name several times as I started to chase after him. My heart tightened slightly, but I think it was just from worry that my best friend hated me. Because of Sabrina.

"James!!" I called after him for the millionth time. I continued to gain on him as he turned the corner and I did seconds later. I could tell he was ignoring my words, or blocking them out, because he didn't even seem to blink. I saw his footing falter and I knew he would be slowing down to a stop in a second.

As expected, his feet slowed down and then finally stopped. I tackled him to the ground and glared at him. "What was that about!?" I clenched my jaw and tried to slow down my breathing. I leaned back and sat down against the red brick wall on my left. He slid over to me and sat down next to me before replying.

"You....I..." He started then trailed off, completely avoiding the question. I pushed his shoulder against the wall and turned him to face me. I grabbed his face and forced him to look me in the eye.

"Tell me." I growled. Slowly, I tilted his face closer to me and pressed his lips to mine. He shoved me away and clenched his teeth, jumping back feet. He shot daggers at me and closed his jacket tighter.

"No. You can't kiss me." He hissed, but it sounded broken. Like he was going to cry, but James didn't cry. He was the tough one most of the time. I couldn't help but want to cry right then when he pushed me away. I felt like he just stabbed me with a needle when the sharp pain shot through my heart.

"Okay," I whispered and covered my face, "Sorry." I mumbled and swallowed, trying hard not to cry. I took a deep breath and buried my face, deeper, into my arms. I gulped and took more deep breaths to stop myself from letting tears come to my eyes. One escaped, though, and fell to the cement ground in the ally-way.

"Jared?" James voice whispered and I felt his body heat against my bare arm. I moved away and clenched my jaw.

"Leave. Me. Alone." I growled and let out a tiny sob, hoping he hadn't heard. Silence fell and I knew he was still right next to me, probably watching me. I ignored it- or at least tried to- and continued to silently sob. I felt like such a wimp, right then.

"Jared..Please?" His voice cracked as he pleaded for me to look at him. I, slowly, lifted my head and brought my bloodshot eyes to meet his own sad ones. I bit my bottom lip in fear of letting out another sob. The only reason I was crying was because my chest hurt. Like someone just stabbed me repeatedly.

"Why are you crying?" He whispered and wiped away one of the tears rolling down my face, "You shouldn't cry. It should be me." He whispered.

"Why should you be crying?" I mumbled and, subconsciously, leaned into him. He wrapped a hesitant arm around my shoulders and laid his head on my shoulder.

"Because I feel depressed." He mumbled, chuckling slightly.

"I do, too." I mumbled and chuckled with him. Our short laughter died away and we stared into each other's eyes before pressing our lips to each other's furiously. I gripped every place I could while he held onto my face, tightly, kissing me with such a hot, fiery passion that it left me winded.

"I think...I like you, James." I muttered, blushing indefinitely. I forced my smile down, embarrassed, and looked away. James grabbed my face and cupped my cheeks. I looked everywhere but at him.

"I think I like you, too." He smiled and pecked my lips. I smiled through the short kiss and James pulled me off the ground. He never let go of my hand as he lead me to the car and pushed me into the driver's seat, climbing into the passenger's himself. I started the car then looked at him, asking where to go.

"Anywhere you like." He winked and I sped off down the street, to my empty house. The drive was a silent one, both of us sitting with happy eyes and big fat smiles the whole three minute drive. I glanced at him every twenty seconds the whole time and he blushed each and every one of those glances. As I pulled into the driveway, he seemed to get jittery.

"Are you okay?" I turned the car off and looked over at James. His eyes darted around the car and his hands tapped in an uneven rhythm as we sat there. His knees bounced, out of sync with his hands, and he kept smacking his lips.

"Err, fine." He replied, obviously nervous. I grabbed his hand and his entire arm tensed up, but his body stopped moving altogether. I squeezed his hand and he relaxed slightly. I yanked his hand a little and he relaxed all the way.

"Come on." I laughed and let go, hopping out of the car. He jumped out, too, and followed me to the porch where I pulled out my keys and unlocked the large beige door, letting us both in. I flipped on random lights as we walked back to my bedroom and I pushed open the door to reveal my clean room. I flipped on those lights and hopped onto my bed, motioning for James to join me.

"Come on, bro!" I laughed and beckoned him to me. He had, originally, starting coming closer, then stopped when I spoke. His bottom lip came out a little and I could tell I had said something upsetting.

"You called me 'bro'." He pointed out.

"Uh..I always do?" I raised a brow and gave James a weird look. He frowned and sat on the edge of the bed, unspeaking. I pulled him closer by the waist but he just stared at me. I brushed my lips against his lightly and he stayed still.

"What now?" I sighed and scooted away, laying on my back. He stared at me then crawled up on top of me.

"Nothing. Now." He laughed softly before kissing me passionately. Oh, hell. This was good. I smiled in the kiss and imaged devious and dirty things- with me and James.

Jared, Jared, Jared. You are a very naughty boy, I thought to myself. That's when the fun began.
