Happier Pt. 2! ~ Jeffmads

"But if he breaks your heart like lovers do."

James looked back at me.

"Just know that I'll be waiting here, for you."

James nodded. I stood there with a smile, but that smile was broken as the tears cascaded down my face. He looked away and walked back over to John, who took his hand and they walked away. Out of my life.

Or so I thought.

{Three months later}

Aaron Burr. Aaron motherfucking Burr had to get involved in my love life and set me up on a blind date. I told him I would get over it. He didn't believe me.

So here I was, walking down one of the many streets of New York City. On my way to the Cafe that Aaron told me to go to.

I passed an alleyway, where I heard a voice. It sounded so soft and small, like James'.

"But John I-"

"I'm sorry James, but I just don't feel the same way anymore. Y'know, maybe we can still be friends?"

No doubt about it, that was the voice of John fuckboy Laurens. I heard James speak next, his voice broken and full of hurt.

"Why? Why would I want to be friends with you?!? Y-you used m-me."

I peeked my head around the corner, I watched James slowly slide down the wall and curl up crying. John walked right by me, not even glancing at me. It broke my heart hearing James, heartbroken sobs, which grew louder with every passing second. I decided to walk over to him. Maybe he didn't care about me, but I still love him. When he looked up and saw me, he only cried harder. I sat next to him, no words were exchanged, no words were needed. He didn't hesitate when I opened my arms, crawling right into them and sobbing into my shirt. I wrapped my arms around him and held him.

I understood how he felt. Being heartbroken. It sucks. James didn't need to explain what happened, but it was my job to be here for him. I've always been here for him. One look and I knew he was broken. He trusted John not to break his heart, that trust was gone now. I looked down at him and sang softly.

"And he broke your heart like lovers do, and darling I'm still waiting here for you."

For a moment, James' sobs stopped. He breathed heavily into my shirt. I still held him in my arms. Finally, he looked up at me, his eyes red, tear stains on his cheeks. He waited for a moment, before softly connecting our lips.

Forgiveness?

Can you imagine........

He pulled away.

"I'm sorry Thomas, I blamed you... And I'm sorry. P-please Tommy... d-don't leave me... p-please I-I'm so sorry."

I pulled him close, hugging him tightly.

"Don't apologize Jem. You did nothing wrong."

"I still love you Thomas... p-plese s-stay with me..."

"Always James. I will love you always."

Always...
