Behind Closed Doors ( Chris Motionless)

Chapter 26: The argument

The next day, I woke up to a text from James.

"Don't forget that I'm going to show you the music store that my dad owns, I told him that you needed a job and he wants to meet you first and talk to you. We'll go around 1:00 :) "

I looked at the time, it was 12:00. I got up and pulled out some purple skinny jeans, and black Memphis Mayfire tshirt, and took a quick shower. After my shower I brushed my teeth, and headed to my bedroom. I swiftly changed in my clothes, did my hair and make up, and slid on my jacket. When I walked towards the living room to go out the door, Chris was sitting on the couch, he raced to me and blocked the door.

"Chris, please move, I have a job interview I need to go to," I said sternly.

"Just give me a few minutes to talk to you, please?" He grabbed my hand, sending sparks up my back as he kisses it. I sighed and nodded my head.

"I'm really sorry, Liz...I didn't mean to slap you, I don't know what happened, everything was just happening so fast, and I got so upset. I have a very bad temper, and I know that wasn't the way to deal with it. K will never hit you again, I love you. I immediately hated myself for doing that, especially after watching you cry because of me,"

He sighs, lightly putting his hand on the spot where he hit me, it was still sore a little and I winced, Chris kissed it.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me, I hated not sleeping next to you, cuddling, and seeing your beautiful face in the morning,"

I smiled faintly and nodded and forgave him. He smiled wildly and kissed me, bringing me into a huge hug.

"Where's your interview?"

"um...a friend of mine, his father owns a music store, he hasn't told me where it was yet, but he's going to meet me at Starbucks and we'll go from there,"

"he?...oh, okay....well text me or call me after the interview, good luck, I love you, baby girl,"

"I love you too.."

During my walk to Starbucks, I thought about what I was going to tell Chris. I wasn't going to mention Ricky at all about this, because I know that it would break their friendship, and I couldn't let that happen. When I arrived starbucks, James was waiting for me at a table, he hadn't ordered anything yet.

When he saw me, his smile flashed and he hugged me.

"glad you made it, Liz, you ready to order?"

I nodded. I ordered a strawberry banana smoothie, and a blue berry muffin, and James ordered a caramel mocha frape and a glazed donut, we sat back down.

"So, how was your morning so far?" He asked as he takes a big bite of his donut.

I shrugged, I only woke up about 45 minutes ago. I asked James the same, he said it was the same. It began to get silent. I though about Chris and Ricky. I wish this shit didn't happen, and I meant all of it, including meeting Chris. I know that sounds harsh, but that's only because I wouldn't be stressed out about this whole love triangle shit, and I wouldn't have to worry about hurting anyone except maybe myself. I felt as if my plan wasn't enough about how to tell Chris about this situation, so I needed advice. Of course I asked James.

"James, I seriously need your help..." My voice cracks.

James takes the last bite of his donut, and nods, staring at me as he sips his frape.

"You know that Chris and I are dating...before everyone knew we decided to keep it a secret so we wouldn't be a distraction during warped. Ricky and I hung out a few times, then out of no where, he tells me that he loves me, and he wants to be with me. At first, I had no intention on even thinking about being with him, but now...I get butterflies when I even see him, or think about him...he kissed me. I completely freaked because I didn't want to like it but I did, and I knew this was going to hurt all of us in the end. Chris has no idea about this, and I am going to tell him, but I'm not sure if I want to be with him, or Ricky. What should I do?"
