James' p o v (a little earlier)

"Hey james! Good to see you again." Grace said to me with her arm around Lou pulling her away from me. I miss her touch already.

"Awh you too!" I replied. Hiding my thoughts for Lou. Grace was a really nice girl.

Some guy came and stood by her side and grabbed her hand. Must be the boyfriend. He looked very familiar.

Wait... Lou said his name was will.

Will.

Will Everest.

That dick.

I have nothing but hate for this guy.

He looked at me, recognising me. His eyes widened. Out of all the guys Grace could date, she chose this one.

Why.

Words of how much I despise him circled my head.

My teeth clenched, hands in fist, eyes locked on him. I hoped I would never see him again.

He ruined everything.

"James, this is-" Grace began to speak.

"Will." I said through gritted teeth. Just saying his name made me want to scream.

"Oh.. You know eachother. Great!" I wasn't really listening to her anymore, just focusing on will, everything around me was a blur.

I grip my fists tighter. I need to get out of here or ill do something I regret.

Suddenly I felt a weight lift from my shoulders.

Lou's hands were softly holding mine.

"James..." She lightly whispered to me, so only I could hear. Her voice was so caring. My eyes were still locked on will but knowing she was there calmed me, I released the grip on my hands. She then slipped her fingers in between mine.

"Hey, look at me." She whispered again. After a second, I did as she said. Gazing into her eyes made calmer. My body relaxed, she moved her thumbs in circles while holding my hands soothing me further.

"You okay?" She mouthed, her face looked concerned and confused. I need to tell her about will, I know that I can trust her, that she'll be here for me.

"I need some air." I answered.

"Let's go outside." She said before turning to Grace to wish her luck. Her hands loosened in mine so I squeezed on to them. I need her right now. I'm not letting her go. Lou accepted that I wasn't letting her go and awkwardly twisted her body and spoke to Grace.

"Good luck Grace." I mumbled, trying to smile but failing. I'll apologise later.

I let go of one of Lou's hands so we could walk together and pulled her off to an exit. I just need to get out of here, away from him.

Once we got outside I put both of my hands to my head and paced around a bit.

Will Everest.

The guy who made your life a living hell for years. The guy who told you you were never good enough. The guy who stole your girlfriend. The guy who did the same thing to three of your friends. The guy who is your worst nightmare.

"James, james what's wrong? Tell me." Lou caringly said trying to calm me again. She followed me as I paced.

"Will, that will!" Was all I made out. She looked at me confused. I took a deep breath in.

"Will Everest. He was in my year in high school. He thought he was better than everyone else. From the start of high school he always had it out for me. In year 11, he was in the last year of the best five years of his life, and I caught him snogging my girlfriend. Turns out they had been at it together for weeks. And she was only with me to hurt me, she told me after that she never liked me. After I found out, I ended things with her and then he ended things with her and moved on to my best friends girlfriend and did the exact same thing." I quickly confessed. Lou looked in shock.

"He's a man whore, and honestly, I hate him."

"I don't blame you." She said. It made me smile, even though he's her best friends boyfriend, she still believes and sticks up for me. "That's disgusting, I can't believe will would do something like that. I'm so sorry."

"Why are you sorry?" I asked. She looked genuinely hurt for me. She stepped closer to, so close I could smell the perfume on her neck.

"Because I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm sorry that that happened to you. You deserve so much more McVey." I felt her arms wrap themselves around my neck, and her head resting next to mine. I didn't even realise I had my hands on her waist. I pulled her perfect petite body close to mine, I love Lou's hugs.

We stayed like this for a few minutes, then she pulled herself away from my body but left her hands on the back of my neck.

"What if he's doing he same to Grace?... What if he has another girlfriend?" Lou worriedly spoke.

"I don't know." I said honestly. "Should we tell her what happened with me?"

She chewed her lip.

"I think she knows something's up... I mean, you two weren't exactly discrete when you saw eachother back there..." She pushed her lips out into a smile. "If she asks me later, then I slip something in, but how would I word it, it's not exactly the easiest thing to say."

"I'm sure you'll think of something, you word things pretty well." She smirked up at me. It was so cute how short she was, it's not an uncomfortable height, it's perfect for me.

"Are you ok with me telling her?"

"Of course. I trust you." I gently pressed my lips on her forehead. At times like these I forget that she's not my girlfriend.

"I'm here if you ever need to talk about what happened, if you ever need cheering up or if you need calming down. I'm right here." She said causing me to smile.

"Thankyou. And thankyou for what you did back there. I hate to think of what I would have done of you weren't there." She slid her hands down my chest and took my hands in hers, making my heart beat out of control.

"Whenever you feel like that again, just grab my hand ok? You're not alone McVey."

"Ok." I gulped. I just want to grab her and kiss her.

"Come on," she said pulling me back to the doors. "Shows about to start! I'll keep you away from that twat don't worry." I hung my head back laughing and let her pull me along.

I've known her 3 weeks and already I don't know how I've ever lived without her. I've been so much happier with her around. She sees the positive in everything.
