Chapter 10: Not Everyone Has a Happy Past. 
"What?" I shouted. I couldn't believe what I just heard out of my best friend's mouth. 

James was being released from jail? Is that even possible? 
And what would he do now that he's out? 
Would he try and find me? 
What would happen if he did? 

All these questions were running through my head as my mind was racing trying to think of the answers. 

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even realize I was crying. 
Andy pulled me into his arms and held me as I cried. 

"Baby, it's okay." he murmured to me. 
"It's not okay. He's gonna come find me, and then he'll tell me he loved me, and I hurt him, so now it's time for me to hurt." I sobbed. 

Those were the words that James said to me, before he hit me. 
Most of the time I didn't know what I did, but whatever it was, it hurt him. 

At that moment I forgot everyone around me and lost myself in a flashback. 

*Flashback* 

I was at James one night after school, I sat on the couch waiting for him to come through the door. It was about a week after our 2 month mark, things had been going great. James and I were happy. 

Tonight James was taking me out to meet his best friend. I tried to make myself look as good as I could. 

My blonde hair was straightened to the maximum straightness I could do with my straightener, I wore just enough makeup (James didn't like me wearing a lot of makeup, he said it caused people took look at me. And he didn't want that.) 

I wore a pair of black skinny jeans with a blue and white stripped t-shirt that hung off the one shoulder and my black converse. 

A few minutes later, James came through the door. I got of the couch to greet him, with a kiss. 

"Hey, baby. How was your day?" I asked, kissing his cheek. 
James shrugged, "Boring as hell! I hate work." 
"Anything I can do to make it better?" I knew that was what he wanted me to say. 
"Make me some coffee, I want a coffee before we go meet Matthew." he said. 

I nodded and headed to the kitchen. I put on a pot of coffee, and waited for it to brew. 

I didn't hear James enter the room, and was a little surprised when he snuck up behind me and began kissing along the skin between my collarbone and my earlobe. 

I let out a sigh. He knew that was my weak spot. I turned my body around and reached up to kiss his lips. His hands were placed on my hips. 

This kiss was fairly soft and sweet. James was a pretty good kisser, and really knew how to get me excited. 

Suddenly James phone buzzed in his pocket. He pulled away from me and answered it. 
"Hello? Yes I'm just heading over now." 
The was a pause as the person on the other line spoke.
"Yeah, okay. See ya soon, Bye." James said, before hanging up the phone. 

He looked down at me. "Time to go."
I nodded, grabbing his hand and headed out the door. 


We arrived at a little white house on the far side of town. James pulled his car into the drive way and ordered me to follow him into the house. 

We were greeted by a man who looked to be in his early twenties. 
"Jamie you finally brought your girlfriend to meet your best friend!" the man said, sounding cheerful. Jamie? I thought James hated being called Jamie? He wouldn't let me call him Jamie. 
"Yah, Matthew I have." James didn't sound very excited. 
"Well, she's sure a pretty one, prettier than the last one." Matthew commented, looking me down from head to toe. 

I felt a little awkward being here. Something about the place didn't feel right. But I didn't say anything, I just followed James into which I assumed was the living room. 

I took a seat on one of the couches beside James. James slung his arm around me. 
"So you guys hungry or anything? Marley's just picking up a pizza, should be here......" he started, but was cutoff. 
"Pizza's here!" a girl who only looked about my age called. She held two large pizza boxes. 
"Jamie come on, let's eat." Matthew said, getting up from the chair he sat in, 
"Here baby, I'll bring it to you." the girl, who I assumed was Marley said, setting the pizza down on the table.
"Thank you Marley, you're awesome." Matthew muttered before taking a piece of pizza out of the box. He handed James a piece and they both began stuffing their faces. 

Again I just sat there, I was hungry, but I was scared to ask for a piece because it wasn't for me. 

After the boys finished both boxes of pizza, they turned on the football game. 

I didn't real understand football very much, so without thinking I blurted out, "What's the point of this game?" 

James and Matthew looked at me, "Wow, James she's not very smart is she?" Matthew asked, with a chuckle. 
James shot me a glare, before turning to Matthew and punching his arm. "just watch the game." 

Matthew returned his attention to the game. James was still glaring at me. I put my head down in shame, and remained silent for the rest of the night. 

After the game finished. James took my hand and practically dragged me to the car. 
The drive home was awkwardly silent. I could tell James was still pissed off at me for my outburst. 

Once we were back at James' place, he dragged me inside. I wasn't sure what was going to happen next, but it wasn't what I expected. 

I felt a hand smack across my cheek. My face instantly began to sting as his hand returned to my face. 

The stinging pain continued as he yelled, "I can't fucking believe you!!! You should've just kept your fucking mouth shut!!!" 

I felt my back slam into the one wall near the kitchen entrance. I heard a crack from somewhere in my chest. Possibly a broken rib, I thought. 

"You made me look like a fucking fool in front of my best friend! How would you feel if I made a fool out of you in front of Casey? Huh?" he slapped me again. 

Tears began falling from my eyes. 
I'd never seen this side of James before. And frankly I wish I hadn't it scared the shit out of me. 
"I'm sorry!" I cried out in pain. Hoping it might actually mean something to him, but it didn't. 

"You're not sorry! If you were you wouldn't have done it! I love you and yet you go out and make a fool out of yourself and hurt me!!! Now it's time you hurt, you little bitch!" he shouted slamming me into the wall again. 

After a few more slaps and one final slam, James finally stopped and let me go. My body was exploding with a horrible stinging pain. I was ready to run for the door, when he pulled me into a kiss. 

What the fuck? Why is he kissing me? I thought he was mad?!?! 

It felt so wrong to be kissed by someone who just pretty much beat the shit out of you.

James claimed to love me. But if he loved me why did he hit me? He's never done it before. I thought to myself. 

I just stood there and waited for him to stop. 

When he finally did, he said, in a calm voice. "Whip your tears away now. Go home to bed, I'll see you tomorrow." 
I nodded, wiping the tears from my eyes. 

I headed for the door and ran out of the apartment. I practically ran all the way home. The pain in my back was making it hard to move. 
I tried to ignore it, but couldn't. 

All I could think about was what just happened. 
Why did James hit me? 
It was one tiny little outburst about football? 
Why was it such a big deal?

I arrived home, and went straight up to my room; Dad was already asleep. 

I ended up crying myself to sleep, because of the pain, not just physically, but emotionally. 


*Flashback End* 

I heard Andy and Casey calling my name as I snapped my thoughts back to present. 

I almost collapsed in Andy's arms. "Aimee, snap out of it. You're okay." Casey said. 
I was breathing deeply, as if the wind had been knocked out of me. 
"I wanna go to bed. Andy?" I practically shouted. 
Andy nodded and led me to our bedroom. 

Andy pulled me into his arms. "Don't worry Aimee, I won't let him hurt you. If I even see this guy around I'll kill him." Andy sounded dead serious, and I knew he was. 
He wouldn't mess around if he ever saw James. 

It was kind of a relief to know I was well looked after. 
But I couldn't handle anymore of this tonight. I needed to sleep. 

Andy held me close to his chest as I attempted to fall asleep. 

But sleep didn't come easily. All I could think about was James coming to find me. 

But the main question is how would he find me? Would he ask people around town where I was?

Oh, shit!!!! 
Half of San Francisco came to Warped Tour and saw me. What if someone told him about it and he then googled where the tour was currently stopped? 

I was honestly scared shitless of the idea of James coming back for me. 

I guess things can either get better (hopefully) or worse.    *********** sorry it's a little late guys! but here it is!! :) let's see what will happen to Aimee now that james is out. do u think he'll find her?  how will andy react??? comment what you think!! : vote!!
