Afraid To Fall

*Anisa's POV*

This could be the part where I tell James that I actually like him. A lot. But with the way that he has those awful mood swings I think it'd be too risky.

"Well... you're cool and you can be good company" I said and smiled.

"Ohh..ka-" He was cut off by someone knocking on the door. I got up and told James to wait there. I opened the door to reveal Jack and his girlfriend standing there. They were a cute couple.

"Oh hello Jack" I said with a warm smile and told them to come in. They walked in and I brought them into the room that me and James were sat in before they came. When Jack saw James he faced me and gave me a confused nod and I mouthed that I'd tell him about it later. Jack's girlfriend wasn't what I expected her to look like. She had blonde hair that was shoulder length and she had brown eyes. She looked so much prettier than I thought she would.

"Do you guys wanna play truth or dare?" James blurted out. Was he obsessed with that game or something? Or did he just enjoy playing it in hope he'd get to do something with me?

"Sure" Jack's girlfriend said.

"What's your name?" James asked.

"Oh, I'm Chloe" She said shyly.

"Nice to meet you, I'm James and this is Anisa" He said as he pointed at me and I curtsied.

We all formed a circle and Chloe requested if she could ask first and we all agreed for her to do that.

"Anisa! Truth or dare?" She smiled sweetly.

"Dare"

"Okay..I dare you to kiss James"

I looked over at James and you could tell by the look on his face that he was already enjoying this game so much. I wanted to kiss him. I wanted him to be mine. But he wouldn't have felt the same. I leaned in and pecked James on the cheek, I didn't want to be led on and then disappointed by him again.

"James, truth or dare?" I asked him.

"Dare" He said. He shrugged his shoulders as if he had nothing to lose.

I got up and walked over to where my dad's guitar had been left. Nobody had bothered to move it and I think it made that space look better anyway.

"Sing." Is all I say to James.

"Alright then" He took the guitar from my hands and got up to sit on the sofa.I looked over to Jack and Chloe and they were cuddling each other.

"Ok here goes nothing. But everytime I sing this song it reminds me of one special girl. I think she knows who she is, well I hope she does" He winked at me.

Then he began to sing...

And fuck, he really couldn't be any more attractive right now.

"Now I'm head over heels and breaking my back

Reaching for once last chance
To take you away with one last dance
I promise, tonight's your dream

Now I don't know the words, I don't know the place
But I'm sure for every moment I'll make it yours
Cause you're the only one I know

Who's feeling this way"

...

By the time he'd finished the song I was in a puddle of tears. He had the face and voice of angel but his behaviour was more like the devil.
