Dear, My Thereafter

Chapter 10 | Time spend together

James POV

I can't seems to help my self, I've been trying my very best not to stress about her, but I have to feel like am responsible for what happened to her. I felt like I caused her to drink herself drank that night.

Mostly because I should have done something, I knew I should but I didn't because I was afraid that maybe she wouldn't want me to. Maybe she blames me just as well for what had happened, after all my party was where she got drunk, I shouldn't have invited her but I did, I be the stupid person I am and invited her away, even when I knew she didn't want to come.

But that wasn't it I didn't want or meant any of that to happen, if only that freaking a**hole bartender just did what I told him to. I've never become so weak or afraid when am around anyone but with her its a totally different feeling.

I want to get to know her, to become her friend but I guess that this unmanly part of me, that I never knew I possessed won't allow me to. I messed up again, first when I barrowed her book I accidently left it on my floor causing my dog to reap it , then at the party leaving her causing her to drink herself drunk. "That's twice almost in a row James."

I have to try and resolve this but first I have to start here, right here at the place where they criticized her because she haven't turned up for school today, something I know she wouldn't miss.

Tash POV

" Hey sleeping beauty wake up"

" Tash"

I heard a voice but choose to ignore it, then there was a sudden jerk on the bed and the pillow was stashed from my head. I groaned but grabbed another and return back to my comfortable sleeping positioning, but my right foot was being pulled so hard that my body was moving along with it.

I looked up from my sleeping state and that's when I saw a laughing Ren pulling me off the bed by my foot.

" Hey. what are you doing?."

And there I was flat on my butt on the floor with a pleased Ren towering over me, a mischievous look plastered on her face.

" Girl you know I already have a flat butt. That hurts, how did you get in by the way?" I asked a little stunned by her presence.

" What?, so you don't want me to come visit you? I didn't know that I was only your school friend but not the type of friend that is eligible to come over. Oh my god, I can't believe this after all I've done for you and you jus......."

She stopped. Then asked.

" You not feeling me, don't you?"

" No am not" and we both laughed, damn girl you must be Joker's girlfriend, hey I think I just got her a name.

" Joker's girlfriend" and she stares at me with a straight face then burst out laughing catching me off guard.

" Jo--ker's---girlfrie---friend" she said between laughter.

Okay I have to admit it, when she says it, it does sounds really stupid.

" Keep trying, but I have to credit you for that one" she commented.

I rolled my eyes and got up from the floor, taking a seat on my bed.

" Okay I get it, that was pretty stupid"

" Still is" she commented, taking a seat beside me, allowing her laughter to die down.

" Anyway how did you get in?"
