Only You Simon

Chapter 2:

James' P.O.V

I woke up with a warm feeling next to me. I opened my eyes and saw Simon's arms around me. He looks so adorable when he's sleeping, I thought to myself. I tried to get out of bed without waking him up, but I failed.
"Good morning, James. How are ye feeling?" he said with a smile.
"I am fine," I said lying; I was still feeling dizzy from yesterday. Those boys. Why couldn't I fight back!? I got angry at myself trying to hold back my tears but I couldn't.
"Was it the same guys? I swear if it was, I will fight them for you James, just tell me what to do," he said, visibly getting angrier.
"It's okay, Simon." I lied again.
"NO, it's not James! I cannot stand you getting hurt!" he yelled, turning red.
"I hate seeing you like this, Why didn't you call me to pick you up? You're my best friend James and you know I would do anything for you right?"
"I know. I'm sorry," I said lowering my head to the floor.
"I love you," he came closer and hugged me.
"I-I love you too," I replied, wishing he meant it more than friends.
"So what do you wanna do today?"
I gave him a smirk. He knew what I was thinking of. He gave a smirk back.
"Doctor Who!" we yelled together.
"I'm gonna take a shower first."
"Can I come?" I said jokingly. He gave me another smirk. Of course, he was kidding.
He finally came out of the shower. Gosh, he takes forever to take a shower. "Ready," he said as he was putting his clothes on.
"Ye-a-ah..." I tried replying with a normal voice. God Damn, his body was too distracting.
"Are you sure about that?" I said smiling. He looked down and realized his shirt was on backward. What a goofball.
"Ooops, my bad," he said and took his shirt off again. I walked over to him slowly and playfully snatched his shirt away.
"You don't deserve to wear this if you can't put it on right." I started giggling so hard. "Hey gimme my shirt back!" Simon tried reaching for his shirt but I caught him instead and wrapped my arms around his bare upper half. He was SO warm. And WOW did he smell good. Just the right amount of cologne, not too strong, not too subtle. I let out a small moan and before I could stop myself, he whipped around.
"What was that?" he asked with that adorable, confused smile on his face.
"Um, I just can't wait to watch Doctor Who," I said, feeling the blood rush to my face. Awkwardly, I let him go and he put his shirt back on.

Simon's P.O.V

I quickly got out of the shower and saw James waiting for me impatiently.
"Gosh, Did you fall asleep in the shower? You took forever to come out," he complained.
"It was only 20 minutes, James. Did you miss me that much?" I replied with a chuckle.
"ONLY?! We could've finished half an episode of Doctor Who, Simon!" he rolled his eyes at me. Argh! He looks so attractive when he's angry. I started putting my clothes on, I looked in the mirror and I saw him staring at me, making me feel embarrassed. Why was he staring at me like that?

Rrrrring Rrriiing, my phone rang as soon as I finished putting my clothes on. I went to the desk to get my phone and groaned when I realized who was calling.
"Who is it?" James asked shyly.
Ash. What does this bitch want with me? I thought to myself. I groaned again and looked at James.
"Oh..Um. Do you want me to leave you two alone?" he said while getting up, ready to leave.
"No. I'm breaking up with her, she cheated on me, James." I grabbed his hand, pulling him closer to me. Our lips were nearly touching each other's. James leaned in closer, causing our lips to collide. In that moment, everything was perfect. He slipped his tongue into my mouth and inhaling heavily, I pulled myself back. There's a silence for a few seconds.
"..sorry," James said then quickly rushed out the door.
"JAMES!!!"

James' P.O.V

I ran out of the apartment into the thick green forest to my hiding spot where no one could find me. STUPID. STUPID. STUPID. Why did I do that??!! The nine years of friendship I had with Simon is now ruined. It's all my fault. He will never talk to me again. Tears started welling up in my eyes, and it felt like everything was in slow motion. After 30 minutes of walking into the forest, I finally found my hiding area, the old abandoned house. There was no door, the walls were moldy and the roofs were gone. I went inside the building and sat on the floor, sobbing. I was startled when I heard a loud thunder. I realized there was a storm coming. I sobbed louder. Storms were my worst fear ever since I was a baby. The thick and dark clouds in the sky were looming overhead, depicting the way I was feeling at the moment. I felt a small drop of water on my cheek, I looked up to the sky and another drop of water fell on my glass lenses. I let the rain soak me. It hid the fact that I was crying even though there was no one else around to see me. I was all alone. After a few seconds, my whole body was drenched in rain. I looked around for a place where I couldn't get wet but all the rooms of the house had no roofs or furniture to hide on. It was only noon but it was pitch black outside, the trees around the forests were falling apart, the wind was getting stronger, and the rain was getting heavier. I was scared as fuck. I didn't know what to do, or where to go. It was too dark and blurry for me to see because my glasses were wet from the rain, and I am 80% blind without glasses so I would get lost if I try to walk home. I hadn't eaten since yesterday, I felt weak and wobbly. I let my head rest on the wall and drifted off...

Simon's P.O.V

I ran after him but when I got outside the front door, I couldn't spot him in any direction. I got on my Impala and drove around the small city of Alexandria, Virginia. We lived in Old Mount Vernon, just near George Washington's house where few families lived and the rest were forests. You could see the view of the Potomac River and across it the National Harbor in Maryland. It was a delightful view. There was an area where James and I would hang out everyday after-school. My stomach churned as I started thinking that it will never be the same between us again. What if he's angry at me and never wants to talk to me again? ~(>_<。)＼ I couldn't lose the only friend I had. I had already lost Mark and Tom. Turned out they were friends with me only because they wanted popularity not friendship. All the boys at my school were jerks and all the girls were sluts, sleeping around with random guys. I could never make friends with people like them.
I looked everywhere for James but he was nowhere to be found. I heard on the radio that a big storm was coming into the city. I started panicking. It had been an hour since he disappeared and I still hadn't find him.
"Come on James! Where are you?!" I yelled, punching the steering wheel. He is terrified of storms. Every Time there's a storm he would come to my room, and I would snuggle him until he fell asleep. I couldn't imagine how frightened he must be right now.
"Think think think." I murmured to myself. I thought harder then I realized there was one place where I hadn't checked. His hiding spot. He had taken me there when we were just eight. It was the beginning of our friendship and I remember us playing hide and seek. I let out a sigh remembering the memories but it had been nine years since I had been there. I couldn't remember the way very clearly. I turned my car around and headed back to our apartment. I rushed out of the car and ran into the forest. It took me a while to remember the way. I started walking through the forest soaked in rain. It was too dark for me to see but I managed it. After struggling to find him for another hour, I could finally see a silhouette of an abandoned house. I ran towards it and inside the house I could see him on the wet floor leaning against the wall.
"James, James, Wake up!! Are you Okay?" I started panting. He woke up, realizing I had found him.
"I'm sorry...I hope that we're still friends.. I'm so sorry" He laid his head on my chest and started bursting in tears.
"James..I need to tell you something," he turned his head toward me but whimpered and laid his head back on my chest after hearing a loud thunder. I grabbed his head and turned it towards me. I kissed him deeply. He kissed me back, his tongue was going in and out of my mouth. The rain that was disappearing was now raining heavier. We both pull away to take a breath. It was too dark for me to see but I could tell he had a grin on his face.
