Nothing Feels Like You«James Mcvey Fanfic/The Vamps»

~Him~ Chapter 2

"C'mon on Cas we've been to practically every store inside this mall, my feet hurts now, let's go."

"Wait I heard Forever 21 got new stocks this weekend, we have to go check it out" Cas looked at me with her big hazel eyes, grinning waiting for me to cave in. "Ugh ok but! I swear to God if you try to take me to one more store after this I'm gonna drag you by the hair all the way home."" Cas chuckled as we entered the store. Usually I'd be just as excited as Cas is to check out new clothes especially in my favorite store Forever 21, but I wasn't feeling it right now.

I knew Cas wouldn't be ready for awhile, so I decided to sneak out to go get a frappe at Starbucks, which was right across from the store. Once I got my frappe I went to go sit by myself at a table in the corner. I pulled out my phone to check twitter. "Hi" Being startled by the unfamiliar voice I dropped my phone. "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, I was just wondering if I could sit here, because all the other tables are full." I looked around examining the place just to make sure. "Yeah I guess, it's a free country" He laughed "Thank you, I just had to ask, because some people like their own space, you know"

I gave off a fake laugh, before returning to my phone. I wasn't into males anymore, not that I was gay or anything, I just didn't want to have to deal with them anymore with the exception of my dad and little brother of course.

" I see you're glued to your phone there, must be something very interesting" I rolled my eyes before looking at I'm, I was trying not to seem annoyed, after all not every guy deserves a shitty attitude from me just because of what one did.

"Ah actually it's just twitter." I said between my teeth. " haha I like twitter, some pretty funny stuff are on there, oh by the way my name is James Mcvey, I just moved here from Bournemouth,Dorest in England. I know you're probably wondering by now, why I'm telling you all this, well I don't know anyone around here, and I guess since you were kind enough to let me sit here, I might as well get to know you." I laughed, knowing that I wasn't interested at all in getting to know him, but I didn't want to be rude so I kinda just went along. "Wow, how did you end up here in Cottleville, Missouri?" I mentally clapped myself for actually sounding like I cared. "Well I was tired of being in London, I wanted to get away,far away, so I just randomly selected here, I know strange right." he chuckled "Yeah very strange." I mumbled " "So are you going to introduce yourself?" He asked. I was hoping I wouldn't have to. " Oh yeah, I'm Hailey Evans, I live here in Cottleville with my mom, I'm 18, anything else?" I said, not caring if that came off harsh. He smiled and was just about to say something when my phone began to ring, it was Cas. "Oh sorry got to go my best friend is ready." And I got up and hurried off before he could say anything.

"Hailey! What the hell! I can't believe you left me, well actually I can but, seriously! Cas yelled while smacking me on the shoulder. "I'm sorry I just went to get a frappe" " Yeah then you met some really hot blonde guy" Cas said with a smirk on her face. "What how do you know that?!" "Haha hello that guy over there is totally checking you out." I turned around just in time to see James standing in front of Starbucks, smiling like a kid on Christmas. "Oh brother, can we please leave now?" " No way Hailey, he's really hot you can't just ignore him like that, at least give him your number, as a matter of fact I'll do it for you." Cas modeled her way over to James and at this point I was fuming!! " What are doing Cassidy, get back over here!!" I shouted, but she just ignored me. Ugh why is Cas being such a pain in the ass right now,she knew I didn't want to have anything to do with the male species right now, yet she still went over there to give him my number.

I stormed off making my way to her car, then I realized I was too mad at her to even let her drive me home, so I decided to walk, the mall wasn't that far from home. " Hailey c'mon stop acting like this, get in the car." Cas was driving slowly beside me, waiting for what she knew would happen. " Fine but it's only because you know no matter what shit you do, I won't stay mad at you for too long." " Yay!" Cas exclaimed while I got into her car. "Look Hailey I know you didn't approve of me giving your number to that James guy, but he seems like a really nice person and how adorable is that british accent!"

"I don't care" I shut her down before she could continue " I don't care about how nice he seems to be, or how adorable his accent is, I don't want to get to know him, I'm fine without having guys in my life Cas, why can't you just accept that." " Because I know it's not true! Hailey!! Cas immediately pulled over " Stop trying to pretend as if you're ok Hailey, because I know you're not, I can see it in your eyes! I know you're still hurting from what Jake did to you" I cringed at the sound of his name. "But you can't let that control your life, can't let it take away your happiness Hailey, you've got to give others a chance, and I believe James deserves a chance." I looked out the window, knowing Cas was right about not letting that past situation take away my happiness, but how was she so sure about James anyway. " Now let's get you home and promise me that if he calls or texts you'll reply." She waited for me to reply as she began driving again. "Ok I guess, but if he annoys me, I'll cut him off in the blink of an eye." Cas giggled, knowing I'd actually do it.

************

About five minutes later Cas pulled up to my house where I saw my dad's car in the drive way. That's funny usually I'd know when my dad is coming to visit. I got out of Cas' car and told her a quick goodbye, because I was quite eager to see why my dad had randomly decided to come to my house today. Don't get me wrong I love whenever he visits, makes me feel we're a family again.

As I got inside I heard my mom talking in a very low voice,practically whispering, but why was she whispering? Well whatever it was they probably didn't want me to know, so I made my way discreetly to the entrance of the living room so that I could hear more clearly. Their backs were turned towards the entrance, so they wouldn't know I was there.

"Do you really think that's a good idea!? She won't agree to it Peter." said my mom. "You don't know that for sure Karen, come on you know she hasn't been very happy for like the last two years, I feel like this would be a great opportunity for her to move on and be happy again."

"Oh so you're saying dragging her away from her friends, her home, from me! will make her happy again?! My mom said with a more angry tone this time.

Drag away?! What! my dad wanted to take me away from here?! and with that I stumbled back, causing my parents to turn around. "Sweetheart! How long have u been there?" My mom asked with worry plastered across her face. "Long enough for me to hear what Dad wants to do!! how can you even think of taking me away from my here, this is my home, yeah sure I may not have the happiest memories here, but I have my best friend and my mom here, besides I'm 18 for crying out loud, practically an adult! You can't take me now!!" And with that I stormed off to my room, ignoring my father's desperate pleas to hear him out.

I slammed the door behind me, and threw my shopping bags on the bed. Whenever I felt this angry and frustrated I'd go sit on roof just outside my window, so that's exactly what I did. Staring at the night sky

always seemed to put me at ease.

As I sat on the roof a million thoughts ran through my head like why did my dad want to "take" me all of a sudden? what makes him think I haven't moved on? Or that I wasn't happy..sigh I did move on, but I wasn't ready to love again, I maybe not be entirely happy, but I wasn't in a deep depression,so I should be fine right?

My phone began to vibrate in my pocket, causing me to snap out of my thoughts. Must have been Cas. I pulled out my phone to see a text from an unsaved number. Ugh not now. "Hey it's James from Starbucks. :)" Couldn't he have at least wait until tomorrow, I was about to just ignore his text,but then I heard Cas' words echoing in my mind. Damn you Cas!! "Oh hi..." I sent back, hoping he'd sense that I'm not in the talking mood. "Yay you replied, so what's popping?" What the heck! can't he take a hint!! "Ha I'm sitting in my roof trying to have some quiet time to MYSELF!" I'm sure he'd get the memo this time. "Oh bad timing I guess." and with that I smiled feeling pleased that he caught the drift, but strangely I couldn't help, but also feeling a bit bad. Maybe that was a bit too mean, after all he was just trying to be friendly, so I decided to send him another text. "I'm sorry if that came off a bit harsh, I'm just not having a good night." Five minutes later my phone began to ring, woah there why does he think it's ok to call me?....
