Brianna's POV

From: BabyBoy :)x

Please, please call me. i need to hear your voice. Please, baby. i can explain everything.


I stared at the message for a good twenty minutes before i got out of the guest bed. I dialed his number as i threw on some yoga pants and a teal hoodie slipping into white flip flop and leaving my hair in the bun on top of my head.


"Hello? brianna?!"

"Will you meet me at the park on Felton Road?"

"Yeah of course!"

I hung up and immediately felt guilty. but it felt sort of good too.

Unknown POV


I arrived at the park ten minutes after i got Brianna's call. she sounded sort of upset. i had only chatted with her i person once but we had a couple conversations over text here and there. i knew she had a boyfriend so it was never anything more than a "hello? how are you?" conversation. she was beautiful but taken.




Brianna's POV

I looked up from my twitter feed. i saw the outline of his shoulders. even under his hoodie you could see his definition. he must have heard my steps on the pavement because he turned around. James had short dirty blonde hair always spiked up and he was much taller than niall. almost a whole foot difference. he was cute. i mean not as cute as... shit, stop thinking about him.

"Hi James!"

He picked me up off of the ground squeezing me in a tight hug.

" What's wrong?"

He ask this question quite blunt. i never mentioned anything being wrong but if he could tell why lie?

"Niall and i had a disagreement. i slept at brittneys house and ever thing. I've never been so hurt before."

"What did he do?"

"He lied to me. about something that is basically his entire life. i mean you probably heard about how he was involved with gangs and stuff and he told me he wasnt involved anymore, an i had his phone instead of mine an he got a message from some guy named 'x' to go see jay about a drop or something... why would he lie.."


James looked at me with sympathy in his eyes.

"Maybe he made a deal. there are other gangs who want to take everything he ever had away from him. including you. he might have made a safety trade"

"Which is?"

"He trades doing small jobs for safety, of him and anyone he is involved with regularly."

"How do you know so much about this stuff?"

He looked at me quizzically.

"I- my brother was involved too. he died. he left and had no safety deals. first it was his wife. then his jkids. he suffered so much he begged the leader to kill him. the only reason im safe is because he and i had a falling out. it was in the paper we got into a bad physical altercation and stopped speaking after we got out of jail. the leaders knew i wasnt involved with what he did. they let me go free."


I couldn't say anything. even though brittney thinks James is a bad guy, he's here for me right now. i can't help but to feel protected. we had sat here just talking about random stuff and getting to know each other. the next text i got all day was from brittney asking where i was. the sun was setting and James had lead me to a spot by the pier. we were watching the sky turn from blue to a beautiful firey orange color and then it went black. the stars were extremely visible over here due to the lack of unnatural lighting. i got a chill probably just from being near the water, but James saw and instinctively wrapped an arm around my shoulder keeping me warm. it felt so right and so wrong. i snuggled my head into his chest and just took a deep breath. my phone kept vibrating but i ignored it. eventually James told me to answer.


"Hello?"

"BRIANNA WHERE ARE YOU?! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET A HOLD OF YOU AND LIAM WAS GOING CRAZY DRIVING AROUD THE CITY LOOKING FOR YOU, JESUS CHRIST. NIALL WASNT ANSWERING EITHER HE COULD BE HURT OR SOMETHING!"

"Okay, calm down. im fine. ill be back to your place soon to get my things. i should go back home and work things out. see you soon."

I scooted away from james' body awkwardly.

"So you're just going to go back to him after he hurt you like that?"

"Well... we have to work this out. im in love with him. i have loved him for so much longer than i have known him. i can't let this just end."

James stared out into the sky and once i opened my eyes after blinking i saw his hand coming toward my face. within seconds i was pushing my body up from the ground, the right side of my face stinging.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR YOU CRAZY FUCKER!"

"You call and want me to listen to your issues making me fall for you and you are just going back to him?!"

"James! i thought we were friends! im sorry!"

"Go back to Niall. Fuck you. you're a fucking slut. i hope he leaves your ass."

I stood up and ran up the hill until i got to the main road. as i was running i bumped into a hard figured taking in a known scent.


"Brianna?"

"Niall!"
