The Heart Always Wins [The Jerk & her]

Chapter 29 - Confused.

(James's Pov)

"I'm so sorry. I didn't really mean to throw it at you. I just-"

She said, and I talked after her,

"No, It's fine." I said, without any emotions at all.

"Let's go, Kaitlyn's waiting for us." I added, and I went out of the arcade, and my friends followed me all the way out.

"Dude, what was that?" Zayne asked,

"What do you mean?" I asked him when we were walking.

"I mean, usually you would chase her to death even if she only gave you a tiny reason for you to kill each other. "

"Yeah, and I thought you're back?" Chris added,

I'm speechless,

"Ahh hey look, the cupcake store is open. Zayne, Chris, why would you go buy some for James's mom, she would really appreciate it, really." Luke said,

He just saved my life.

Luke and I went to my house first, while those two stayed at the mall to buy the cupcakes.

(Luke's Pov)

"Kaitlyn," James said, when we walked in their house.

"I'm here," Kaitlyn said,

"Where,"

"At the kitchen," she added,

So we went to her in the kitchen.

"Woah, this looks more like a feast than a birthday party, Kaitlyn, you're awesome." I said, tasting her cookies on the plate.

She laughed, "thank you. Listen, could you guys finish this. I'm just gonna go change my clothes."

"We'll handle this, go change." James said,

He took care of the pasta. While I just sit and enjoyed the crumbs of the leftover cookies.

"I can't believe it, it's really true." I said,

"What? What is it?" He told me, when he was still cooking the pasta.

"They said, when you're in school, your horns will come out, of course you will be the typical James we know, the Jock, the bully, the cold guy, and the jerk. But if you're not in school, you act like that." I said,

He turns off the stove.

"Act like what?" He said,

"You know, act like a good guy, a sweet and loving brother and a son. It's like you're a different kind of person once you get out of that cursed school." I added,

"You think so,"

"Mmh, as a friend, I mean more like your brother, I will say yes. I kinda understand you at some point anyway." I said, and he laughed silently.

Those two rascals burst in and started to make a noise.

I'm talking about Zayne and Chris,

"Guys, we bouth the cupcakes that you told us." Chris said, eating one of the cakes he was carrying.

"I gotta go fix my clothes down the basement, you guys help my sister while I just go down stairs." James stood up from his chair.

I can't stand these two, since they're the most annoying in our group, I would rather kill myself instead of being alone in a room with them.

So I followed James down the basement  where they do laundry and stuff.

I was walking down the stairs.

I spotted James, sitting there, cleaning the pocket of his Jeans that he just took out from the dryer.

He took out the bracelet inside it.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that bracelet.

Maybe,

He's really my brother and that bracelet's is his.

No,

He already told me that's Maddie's.

Wait,

MADDIE'S??!

"Ahh dude, can I ask you something?" I said,

"What is it,"

"Do you like Maddie?" I asked him,

(James's Pov)

"Do you like Maddie?" Luke asked me,

That widened my eyes,

"Ahhh, no" I immediately answered,

"Really? 'Cause the way you act around her, she's completely different from the girls you've treated badly. I mean, yes, you guys wanted to kill each other, but I feel there's something between you two that only you can tell it."

I'm only acting weird around her these days cause I have never ALMOST kiss a girl like that!

ALMOST,

And the timing is really weird, 'cause after every fight we had, something will happen that's the opposite of what we're doing.

You don't get it, do you?

My language is just as complicated as this.

"Dude," Luke called me when I was lost in thought,

"Yeah?" I asked,

"No, I don't like her. I've never liked a girl before, you know that." I said,

"Okay then,"

(Maddie's Pov)

We just got out of the mall, when this annoying gay here started to tease me again.

"James Stanford likes you, James Standford likes you."

CARL FRANCIS SMITH!!!

I swear I will kill you if you repeat that word again.

"Carl, he doesn't like me. We're enemies okay? And that will never ever change." I said,

"Don't you get it?!" Carl said,

"Get what?"

"He is James Stanford, THE BADDEST BOY IN JULLIARD. He will not let someone pass who messed with him. But you, you even knocked him on the head with a ball, But he didn't do anything. Instead, he just let you go." He said,

But he has some point.

We did became friends. In only a day actually, or less than that.
