Closure ~Asking Alexandria Love Story ~

Chapter Seven - I Used To Have A Best Friend

My heart was pounding, not in the way where you're in love with someone, but in that way when you can hear it, and feel it-like if you stopped for a second and stared at your chest you would see it moving, it was pounding because Ben Bruce, BEN FUCKING BRUCE wanted to be there for me, he wanted to help me recover, he wanted to make everything better. It made my whole body light up with a flame of happiness, I longed for a feeling like this, and he gave it to me!

I had to think fast so my words wouldn't jumble up in total excitment. 

"W-Wow!" I stuttered, with shock in my voice. "Yes!" I exclaimed. You'd think that he proposed to me with the way I was asking and shouting 'yes' all over the place. 

"Great!" he grinned. He pulled me into a firm hug, his hands carressed my back and he rubbed it gently. "I just don't think I could bear the thought of witnessing someone, especially you, hurting themselves and being full of so much hurt infront of me" he gulped. He placed his hands on my shoulders and looked me straight into my eyes. "Shaney, I don't want you leaving us, ever" he demanded with hurt in his voice.

I nodded and kissed his cheek slowly. "Thank you" I whispered, I sat up a little and wrapped my arms around his neck and nuzzled my head into him. I was so thankful for Ben.

-James Cassells POV-

Danny nudged me, I pulled out my earphones and looked at him. "What?" I growled, I hated people disturbing me from my music. 

He pointed towards Ben and Shaney, they were two rows away from us, they looked really snuggled together. I was green with envy. 

"They're getting a bit close aren't they?" Danny observed, he seemed just as interested in them as me. 

I shrugged "Whatever, it's not my problem" I lied. I put my earphones in. I wanted to punch Ben, I really did, yeah he was one of my best mates but jesus fucking christ, I didn't want him near her, I wanted her all to myself, I wanted her mine, but at the same time I didn't, I didn't know what I wanted. Apart from this:I wanted Ben to stay away from Shaney, she was mine..She is mine..I wish. 

They were hugging, Shane looked extremely happy, her pale cheeks a pink colour through smiling so much, I don't actually think I've ever seen her smile so much. 

"Fuck this" I mumbled to myself. I yanked out my earphones and grabbed Cameron by the T-shirt and dragged him with me to the toilets. 

"What the fuck James!" he yelled. I leaned against the toilet door so no one could barge in. 

"I need to talk to you!" I yelled back. 

"You could of just asked me to come with you James?" he replied sarcastically. "What is it anyway?"

"What do you nkow about Ben and Shane?" I asked. He stared right through me. 

"Um I don't know? I overheard Ben talking to Sam about how he wants to just get close to her, fix her, mend her completely something like that?" he shook his head trying to remember. "Why?"

"He's not planning on fucking her or anything?" I asked 

"WOW" his eyes widened. "Are you paranoid or something Jay?" he put his hand on my shoulder. 

i shook my head rapidly. "Look I'm just curious, he's been really up her ass lately and I want to know why so he doesn't hurt her" I lied, I lied apart the curious part, I just wanted to hear from someone I'm close to. 

"No from what I've heard he hasn't been trying to fuck her nor is he planning to!" Cameron slapped my cheek. "Jesus fucking christ James get a grip man!" he shoved me out of the way and left the toilets. Leaving me on my own.
