Cheater ~ BWS

E

Rebecca's pov.

I woke to the sound of my annoying alarm clock. It was 7:30. I slowly stood up and stretched, then walked to my kitchen. I took a glass out of the cupboard and filled it with water. Still half asleep, I sipped my water, and went to sit on the couch, but I Sat on something lumpy. I turned my head and quickly realized it was James.

"Shit." I mumble under my breath. I forgot James was in my apartment. His eyes fluttered open,

"That's one way to wake a man up." He chuckles with a groggy morning voice.

"Sorry, I'll be right back." I quickly run to my bedroom and throw on a baggy t-shirt. Brad's Arctic Monkeys t-shirt. I can still smell his cologne on it. God I missed him.

When I came back out into the living room, James was already sitting up, wide awake. He must be a morning person like me. Only, it takes me a little bit to wake up. Some people it takes them all day to wake up. I chuckle to myself.

"Drink coffee?" I ask him. He shakes his head.

"Actually, I'm on a diet. No coffee, but thanks." He lightly smiles.

"If you have orange juice, I'll take some of that please." He then stands up and sits at one of the stools at my kitchen island. I nod, and pour him a tall glass, setting it in front of him. I start to wonder if Connor stayed the night with Kayla. I was pretty sure Brad was coming back today too. I couldn't control the smile that was appearing on my face.

"What's that goofy smile for?" James ask, taking another sip.

"Oh, nothing. It's just that Brad's coming back today. I'm so excited to see him!" I jump. I sounded like a fangirl. James laughs.

"He should be here in an hour." He states, while he checks his watch. He had told me last night that Joe wanted Brad to stay behind, for a reason he didn't know. So he sent James with Connor.

James caught my attention again when he made a face.

"Did you see our performance last night?" He asks flatly.

Then it hit me. The song they performed was called Cheater. He wrote that song for me.

OH MY GOD! HE WAS RIGHT! JOHN IS CHEATING ON ME!

"HE TOLD ME! JOHN IS CHEATING ON ME! I SHOULD'VE LISTENED TO HIM!" I burst and James just nearly jumped off the stool.

"Jesus Bec! You just realized that?!" He kinda yells back. I opened my mouth to say something, but then I heard a guy yell something out in the hallway. Me and James exchanged a look, and we both ran to my door, and opened it.

James's pov.

I sent Brad a text of the recording I got, and explained everything that had happened the night before. I knew he was already in the building. But I didn't know he would bump into John. Because when Rebecca opened her apartment door, there he was, pinning John against the wall, and he was all up in his face. He looked pissed.

Rebecca's pov.

I gasped. It wasn't a bad gasp, or a good gasp. I was surprised that Brad was there, but shocked, because he had John pinned against the wall. In that sudden moment, I found myself angrily walking towards John.

"Brad. Move!" I barked at him. He looked at me and his hard gaze softened. He moved out of the way, but still managed to hold John to the wall. I got right in John's face.

Then I slapped him across the cheek as hard as I could.

"YOU BITCH!" I shouted.

"REBECCA! LANGUAGE!" James yells.
