James Maslow: Chances

James Maslow: Chances PT 20

As you walk in the room you see Halston holding James' hand and stroking his hair; James's eyes moves to you as he slowly sits up with Halston's help. 
"YN, hey. You're awake." James says smiling. "I'm glad you're okay." 
You smile a little at him before over looking his injuries. 
"Hey Hals, could you give u a minute?" James asks Halston as she kisses his forehead.
"Anything for you babe." She smiles before pecking his lips and walking past you shutting the door behind her. 
"She seems...Polite." You laugh a little walking to his side of the bed. 
James chuckles. 
"Sounds like someone's jealous to me." James smirks. 
"Maybe a little." You admit, looking at his leg and stitches on his arms. "I'm so sorry you got hurt because of me." 
You sigh. 
"Hey, it wasn't your fault. It was just messed up timing that the car fell." James nods, grabbing your hand. "Let's not talk about this anyway; how's the baby? Is he or she okay?" 
"He or she is fine, thanks to you of course." You smile at him. 
"What can I say? I'm a ninja." James laughs making you laugh as well. 
"I broke up with Kendall, he got caught in a lie and I knew he was cheating on me." You say with your voice cracking. "Thank you for telling me." 
"You would've done the same." James says nodding. "Sorry he broke such a beautiful woman's heart though; you don't deserve to be hurt like that or be hurt at all." 
"I'll live." You smile a little. 
"If you need anything, anything at all, you know I'm always here for you." James says moving his hand to your cheek and gently rubbing it. 
You lean your cheek against his hand smiling. 
"I know and same goes with you." You say as he smiles.
James switches looks from your eyes to your lips as your heads slowly lean in as Sam walks in. You both quickly pull away hoping she didn't see you both almost kiss. 
"Hey, I was just wondering if you guys would want a coffee or something?" Sam asks. 
"Uh yeah, I'd love one." You say leaning back in the chair. 
"Make that two." James grins at Sam. 
"Perfect, be back soon." Sam smiles before shutting the door. 
James looks at you and you awkwardly cough. 
"Um so I hope that leg of yours gets better soon so you can come back to work." You say. 
"Yeah, so I can see my favorite people." James chuckles as you look down. 
"I don't think I'll be working there when you're up and walking around." You say quietly. 
James sits up straighter making him wince in pain, looking at you confused. 
"What the hell do you mean? You love that job." James says confused. 
"Because I'm moving...I'm moving James, to Los Angeles by the end of the year." You say not looking at him. "Plus I'm pregnant, I need to look out for myself and the baby; working in a garage could make it impossible for me to become a mom."
"What? You're moving? But you...Does Carlos even know? How about Logan or Sam? Anyone?" James asks frustrated. 
"No, just you...I'm telling Carlos after I get out of hospital which will hopefully be tomorrow or this afternoon." You say. 
"Okay, I understand about the job but why are you moving? You don't have to move." James says pleading you to stay. 
"It's somewhere I've always wanted to live, ever since I was a little girl. I think now since I'm facing new life choices, this would be a good one to make it on my own." You say nodding. "And I'd love it a lot more if you backed me up instead of fighting me."
James looks at you and sighs. 
"I just want you to stay so bad." James says softly.
You look at James.
"Don't worry, we'll keep in contact and you have the rest of the year with me. Be happy." You smile standing up. 
"Where are you going?" James asks. 
"I should let you have some rest James." You say.
"But I don't want you to go." James pouts. 
"Too bad, rest." You laugh a little as you help James lay back down. 
"Thanks." James smiles as you head to the door. 
"I'll see you later." You smile before walking out the door. 
As you walk out, Carlos accidentally runs into you. 
"Sorry, I was just coming to get you." Carlos starts. 
"What? Why?" You ask. 
"I found someone you might want to see in the hospital room a few doors down from you." Carlos says as he leads you down the hall. 
"Who is it?" You ask following him as you follow his fast foot steps. 
"You'll see." Carlos says as he opens the door to the room. 
Your mouth slowly falls open as your eyes fill with some tears, your breathing starts to become uneven as you see your mom hooked up to wires; looking worse than she's ever been. You start to shake as her head slowly turns to look at you; Carlos helps you to a chair so you don't fall. 
"Mom..." You whisper...
