James wakes up at eight at night. He groans loudly and throws up again, the boys were prepared for this to happen and left a bucket at the side of his bed which fortunately James uses.
He curses under his breath and I flinch at his words. James never swears, at least when I was with him. I've stayed at his side for the whole day.
West and Eldon came back an hour after James passed out and told us not worry.
I watched as James looked over at me and rubs his eyes which are glazed with tears again.
"Stop," He says suddenly
"James..." I try to take his hand but he shakes his head
"Stop," He repeats and closes his eyes tightly.
Eldon comes into the room with two plates of steaming chicken and rice which Emily had prepared since all the boys ate was microwaved food and 65% cacao.
James sits up and starts eating without another word. Eldon hands me my plate and I smile in thanks.
I watch as James eats his food and for a moment I catch a glimpse of the old him... my James, but it fades away just as I think of it.
James looks straight ahead or down at his plate, refusing to acknowledge me in the room with him.
He finishes and puts his plate on the bedside table where the boys have placed painkillers and a cup of water to help his headache from his hangover. James must do it a lot because Eldon immediately placed it there before I even told him what happened.
Eldon must have noticed the remaining bits of smashed glass and the smell of vomit on the floor.
James wraps himself up in the blanket again and lies down on his side, his back facing towards me.
My smile drops. I can't fix him, why did Ella even think I could. His heart is broken because of me. His whole life is gone because of me. It's all my fault so how am I meant to fix it?
"James, please talk to me," I plead, my eyes shining with tears. The guilt is all to much for me.
There's silence before he finally speaks, "You're not real,"
"I'm real, I'm here, James. Turn around and look at my face," I choke out
He doesn't reply or turn around which breaks my heart and I don't want to cry here in his presence. I pull out my phone and go to the guest room that Emily and I are staying at.
I check the time and dial Ella's number. I really need to talk to her about James. I know she was probably the one who James talked to about me. Even after she betrayed my trust, I was doing this for James.
The line picks up, "Hello?" Her British accent comes through the phone
"Ella, it's me Riley,"
