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

~Best Friends~ Chapter 7

It's been three days since I've last spoken to James. I know I must have seemed like a weirdo to him, after I randomly ran out of his house, but I had to do it. I knew what he was going to say, or ask. He was going to ask me to give him a chance, so that's why I ran, I couldn't take that risk. I needed to thoroughly think about this before I made any decision.

I spent the last three days trying to clear my head, but my mind was betraying me, all I could think about was James, and the two days we spent together. It wasn't helping that he was also texting and calling like very second of the day. I didn't want to ignore him but I just didn't know what to say. On top of it all I was having flashes of our kiss playing over and over in my head like a broken dvd player. As much as I wanted to regret kissing him, I couldn't. The kiss reminded me of what it felt like to be in love, to feel happy and carefree, I loved those feelings so much, but it was moving too fast, I needed more time.

"It's been two years.." I heard the little voice in my head say. "Yeah two years since then, but with James it has only been like what a week since I've known him, that's not long enough." I replied. Shit I'm doing it again, talking to myself, I better go find someone to talk to, other than myself that is. I hadn't told Cas about what happened between James and I, now seemed like a good time. I pulled out my phone and called her.

"Hey Cas, are you home right now?"

"Ahh yeah, today is my lazy day remember." "Cas everyday is your lazy day." She laughed "Anyways I'm coming over in a few, so don't you dare go anywhere Cassidy Hemmings!" I said in my most stern voice ever, which made Cas laugh even harder. "Okay Hailey Bailey." Cas replied in her fake southern Bell accent. I laughed then hung up.

I walked briskly to Cas' house because I was anxious to tell her everything that happened. I knew she'd love and hate me all at the same time. She'd love me for taking her advise once again and going to James, but she'd hate me for running out like a psychopath. Either way I had to tell her, because she's my best friend. When I got to Cas' house I was greeted by her older brother Tyler.

"Sup Hailey, haven't seen you in awhile, lemme guess you're here to see my sorry excuse for a sister." Before I could reply I heard Cas' voice. "Get away you dweeb!" Cas said pushing her brother out of the way. "Awe you two love each other so much." I teased. "Eww, anyways let's go up to my room, I sense you have something to tell me." Cas said eagerly. "Wow you're good." I said following behind her. "Hailey we've been best friends since forever, so of course I know when you have something juicy to tell, now spill the beans Evans!" Cas said after closing the door behind us, and jumping unto her bed.

"So it's about James.. I took your advise and I went to his house, the same day we went jogging." I could hear Cas squealing. "We walked to his house, and when we got there we watched movies, ate snacks and all.

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

I told Cas every single detail about that day with James, after I was finished. I waited for her response. For a moment she just sat there looking at me in disbelief, then she finally spoke. "So! You're telling me that the day was going perfectly well, you guys watched movies, ate your favorite snacks, he sung one of his songs for you, you guys KISSED!!! DANCED IN THE FREAKING RAIN!! THEN YOU JUST RAN OUT LIKE THAT!!!?!? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND HAILEY?! YOU CAN'T JUST RUN OUT ON A GUY LIKE THAT!!! YOU IDIOT ARRGH!!"

"I THOUGHT YOU'D UNDERSTAND! BUT YOU DON'T AT ALL!! I DON'T KNOW WHY I THOUGHT YOU WOULD IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! WHAT WAS I SUPPOSE TO DO JUMP IN HIS ARMS AND SAY MARRY ME?! DAMMIT CAS! I'VE ONLY KNOWN HIM FOR A FEW DAYS! YOU HEAR THAT DAYS!! NOT MONTHS!! NOT YEARS!!!" I yelled back.

"Don't even go there Hailey." Cas said, this time in a calmer voice. "You know that's not what I meant, but you're pushing away a really nice guy, he might be the one, but you'll never know if you don't try. You don't have to be with him just yet, instead try to get to know him more, and you try to open up to him more, just have fun, and everything else will fall into place. I can even talk to him for you."

I turned around to face Cas, sigh. "Cas I'm sorry for lashing out on you, I'm just confused at everything right now." Cas hugged me. "It's okay Hailey, I'm sorry for blowing up on you too, I just want you to be happy Hailey, but you keep fighting it. James is nothing like Jake, I know that for sure." How did she know that for sure? What if she's wrong? But what if she's right? There goes that little voice in my head again.

"I guess you do understand why I'm feeling this way Cas, that it was because of what happened with Jake, he's the reason I'm so afraid of loving again. I'll talk to James, thanks Cas." Her hazel eyes lit up when I spoke those words. "That's my girl." She said with a smile. "Now since you're here we might as well do something fun." Cas said with her bell like voice. "I'm way ahead of you." I said hitting Cas with one of her pillows, which caused us to burst out in a full on laughing fit. "You just made a huge mistake Hailey!!" Cas shouted hitting me with two pillows.

"This means war Hemmings!!"

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

Cas and I spent the entire day goofing around,having silly convos,eating junk, and just doing all the fun stuff we use to before I became so distant. I felt good having real fun with Cas again, and I could tell she enjoyed it as much as I did. I was about to leave Cas' house when I realized I haven't asked her about something.

"Oh Cas, I can't believe I've been here all day and forgot to ask about your relationship with Riley, is everything alright?" Cas' mouth fell to her knees. "Oh my God!! Hailey you haven't asked about my relationship ever since Riley and I got together! Are you feeling okay?!?

I giggled. "I'm fine Cas, and I'm sorry for being distant for so long, it's just that today brought back memories of how our friendship was before I became "hollow Hailey". I realize now,how selfish I was being constantly caring about my own feelings, and forgetting that I'm your best friend, will forgive me?"

Cas stared at me blankly before laughing like maniac. " Hailey I was never mad, or upset with you in any form. I know why you were like that, and I knew you'd heal eventually." I smiled at how understanding Cas is, she's always so calm about everything. "Cassidy you are truly the best friend ever!" I said before giving her a tight hug. "Duh, I've been trying to explain that to you for years now Hailey, guess it finally sunk in." We both laughed. "Hey why not finish off the fantastic day with a sleepover, I'll tell you all about my amazing relationship, and how perfect Riley is for me, eekk!!"

You could see the love in Cas' eyes as she spoke about Riley. I guess Cassidy finally found the one, and I was happy for her. I just hope it will last and Riley doesn't hurt her because I'd be the first one to break his legs and rip his balls off in that event. As I thought about Cas' relationship, someone sprung in my mind, and at that moment I knew there was something I needed to do.

Super short update, I hope you appreciate the mini cliff hanger though ;).
