Crush (Jonah Marais)

Chapter 16

James.

James?

James.

I frowned.

James.

I squinted my eyes.

Yup it was him alright. I pushed my way between Nichole and Christina. Neither of them knew what was going on because neither of them have ever met James, mainly because last time I checked he was dead. I was speechless I wasn't sure what I was going to say.

I walked up to him angrily. His face looked shocked when he saw me.

"Oh hi James" I said,

"Oh, er hi?" He said terrified,

"Yeah, hi. I thought you were fucking dead" I yelled,

"Well nice to see you too, babe"

"Babe? Don't call me babe. Do you know how bad I cried because my mum told me you were dead? Do you know how bad you hurt me? What actually happened? How come you are alive? It took me a whole year, a whole damn year James to get over you, that's a year of my life I wasted thinking about you and being depressed" I said starting to breakdown and cry,

"Well, I never died in a car accident, as you can see, I told your mum to tell you that because I cheated on you and she found out. I didn't want you to come after me if you found out, I wanted you to leave me alone, Listen Soph I still like you and I'm sorry I just thought the girl I cheated with was the 'one'"

"The one? James you were 16. It's a pitty you still like me because I just realised I hate you" I began to cry more, "Sorry won't cut it James you broke me" He went to hug me but I pushed him away. I yelled at him to leave and he left.

I cried harder and fell to the floor. Christina and Nichole came running to me and hugged me tight,

"Sophie, I'm so sorry" Jemima said quietly,

"It's okay, you didn't know" I sobbed. I got up. Great. Just great. I just got to my new collage, which I thought was going to be fun, and James is here? I still don't understand why you would do that to someone. Why? Why put someone through all that pain, whether you love them or not. It's horrible.

"If you want me too stay away from him I can, I really think we could be great friends and I don't want to risk a, possibly strong friendship, for a boy" Jemima spoke up,

"No, no it's okay. We can still be friends just please make sure he doesn't know where mine and Nichole's apartment is, I don't want him bothering us" I replied,

"Of course" She said politely,

"So girls why don't we (A/N pun not intended... or was it?)  have a sleepover since it's our first night here?" Christina screamed,

"YES" Me, Nichole and Jemima yelled while jumping up and down. I began to feel better. I love these girls (A/N Hehe) even though I haven't known them for very long. They just feel like the friends I never had when I was younger,

"Wait when do classes start?" Nichole asked,

"It depends, have you guys got your schedules yet? If not you should go to reception" Jemima suggested,

"Yeah come on Soph lets go" Nichole said while dragging me out the door. We got to reception and got our schedules. Me and Nichole are taking the same subjects so we both start classes on Monday (It's Saturday). We went to our apartment and grabbed some stuff then walked back to Christina and Jemima's. 

A while after that we had set up our beds and stuff. It was now around 5 pm so we decided to order pizza. While we waited we made popcorn and a huge mess. I was still extremely shook because of James. I was kind of angry with myself because I yelled at him. I know what he did was horrible but I still have feeli- wait Sophie, what are you saying? You love Jonah, you have him, your over James. Forget about him. Like you did before. Just stop. 

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Christina yelling, "PIZZAS HERE!" Jemima ran to the door with Christina. Nichole came over to me and sat besides me on the sofa, "You still like him don't you?" She asked,

"I don't know what you mean?" I tried to act confused,

"Oh come on Sophie, don't act dumb with me"

"How do you know?" 

"I haven't known you long but I do know you well" Nichole said, "you're my bestie, trust me I know but I do think you should tell Jonah he's here"

"yes I should but I don't want him to worry"

"He won't he loves you a lot. Sophie trust me I've heard the way he talks about you, he trusts you and you should trust him not to worry, now go text him before I do it for you" She nudged me a little,

"Okay" I stood to go find my phone. I found it and messaged Jonah,

Y-Hey babe, I need to tell you something x

J-Hey princess, what is it?

Y-You know that guy, James, I told you about

J-Yes princess

Y-Well turns out he's not dead. He told my mum to tell me he died because he cheated on me and my mum found out. He did this so I wouldn't run after him and so that I would leave him alone.

J-Are you okay princess? How do you know all this?

Y-I saw him here. I yelled at him and cried a little but I'm okay now

J-I'll come to see you if you want princess?

Y-No it's okay. I'm just I little scared he will try to get me back because he called me babe and he doesn't know about you.

J-I can come if you want me too I want to protect you. I feel like I'm not doing enough because I'm your boyfriend. Me and the boys aren't going away on tour for a while now so we can come and stay with you, Nichole, Christina and her roommate.

Y-Actually yes can you it'll make me feel safer.

J-Of course princess anything for you

J-We're on our way.

Y-I love you baby x

J-I love you too princess, don't worry you'll be safe in my arms again soon x

Y-I can't wait.

End of texts,

"Nichole, Christina, Jemima!" I yelled

"Yes!" They yelled back,

"The boys are coming to stay with us for a while because I feel unsafe having James around" They all came running to me,

"YAY!" Nichole yelled,

"Boys?" Jemima looked confused,

"Yes, Christina's boyfriend and my other bestie Corbyn, Nichole's boyfriend Daniel, Jack, Zach and My boyfriend Jonah"

"Oh okay"

"So I thought Corbyn, Jack and Zach can stay with you guys and Jonah and Daniel with me and Nichole" I suggested 

"Yeah okay that's fine" Jemima agreed. I cant wait for them to get here I miss them all. Me and the girls settled down and started the movie while munching on our popcorn and pizza.
