no strings attached || j.m.

"James?" I pressed the cold iPhone to my ear after ringing his phone fifteen times. My head placed on the steering wheel. My hands frozen cold.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" His voice is urgent and I needed my best friend now more than ever.
"A-Alex. He left me James... He left me for someone else and I don't know what to do... I'm just parked in this car park and I don't know what to do..." I repeated myself, I was desperate for him to be by my side. The sobs that I had tried so hard not to let out, fell from my lips and I couldn't hold the tears back anymore. "I need you James."
I could hear him breathing down the phone as if he was walking fast.
"Where are you?"
"Outside McClearys corner shop"
"I'm on my way, don't move... I'm coming." He hung up quickly, leaving me feeling more alone than ever.
The car was freezing. The cold nipped at my exposed skin that wasn't bundled in layers of clothing. The headache from all the crying was getting worse. I had no pain killers to ease the pain that I wished I could relieve.
To say that I wanted to die over the actions of a boy would be stupid. I didn't want to die because of him but this whole scenario had ripped the happiness out of me.
I thought he loved me. The endless questions of was I ever good enough? Did he ever loved me? Filled my mind.
I needed James now. More than I have ever needed him before.
A tap at the passenger window pushed me out of my thoughts as I unlocked the door and let James in.
"Fucking hell, it's freezing"
He was only wearing a leather jacket and shirt, with his every day black jeans and boots. James always had the bad boy look about him, but I knew that he was the most lovely person to be around when you got to know him.
"I'm sorry, you didn't need to come" I lied and I'm sure he could tell. Of course I needed him.
"Shut up you idiot" His arms pulled me close as he hugged me tight.
"I'm so sorry. This should never have happened to you... Alex is a fucking prick for letting you go." His tone was angry and rough. "Just wait until I fucking see him."
That's when the crying started. Full tears streamed down my face and my voice cracked.
I has lost someone who meant everything to me and there was nothing I could do about it.
"Come on, switch sides with me and I'll drive you back to mine. We'll have a cup of tea and talk about old memories, okay?" He got out of the car before even giving me the chance to reply to him. Walking around to my side, he helped me out and sat me in the passenger seat, buckling my seatbelt and kissing my forehead.
"I love you."
"I love you too James."
