She Was The One (A James McVey FanFic)

Chapter 29- First Date

Lou's p o v

"Oi!" Grace snapped as I took a marshmallow off of her hot chocolate.
"Budge up?" I asked as I tapped her leg. Grace shuffled up on the sofa, leaning closer to Will who of course had to be here. I sat next to her and got my phone out as the cheesy movie they were watching was on. I scrolled through Facebook, nothing interesting. I scrolled through instagram, nothing interesting. Twitter, nothing interesting.
James was busy with Brad and Tristan today so I couldn't see him, and well Grace was busy with Will so I've just been moping around the house. I did do some baking with Kate earlier though. I sent a text to James even though I knew he was busy.
'I miss you dickhead xxx'
I locked my phone and relaxed on the sofa. I'm so bored. I took my eyes off the tv and looked around the room, in hope to find something that I've never noticed before. Instead, I turned to find Will staring at me. I looked at him for a few seconds but he wasn't going to look away so I awkwardly faced the screen. I could still sense him looking at me. This is really weird, what is his problem? I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. James! I started to get excited as a rummaged in my pocket to retrieve my phone.
Oh.
Not James.
But Will.
I sunk back into my previous mood and read the text.
'Hey baby wanna get out of here?'
What. The fuck. Is he joking around? Maybe he got the wrong number. I hope he got the wrong number... I started to type a reply.
'You get the wrong number will?' I sent. I got a reply faster than lightning.
'No Lou. You look so hot today.' he sent back. Omg this guy is unbelievable.
'Leave me alone, Grace is right there!'
'She doesn't need to know;)'
I shot him a cold look, he winked back at me. I rolled my eyes and stood up. He's making me feel sick, I hate him so much. I almost know that he is going to hurt grace but he hasn't done anything terrible yet... I can't believe he accused her of flirting with other guys when he does this.
"Where are you going?" Grace wondered.
"Oh I just need some air. I'll be back later." I pulled a small fake smile and left the lounge. I just need to get out of here. I went upstairs and grabbed my bag and a jacket. I shoved my feet into some converse and jogged downstairs. I left the house and started walking, not really sure where too.
I'd been walking for about twenty minutes when I decided to get my earphones out. As I pulled them them from my bag and started to untangle them, I found myself outside the graveyard. I stopped in my tracks and stared at the ground. Memories of my childhood in Bournemouth came rushing back. How our family went from being a family of four, to three. The reason why we moved, why my parents never come back here. I stood and looked at the moss covered gravestones from a distance, I can't do it today. I plugged my earphones into my phone, put it on shuffle and quickly walked away.

5:00. Time to go back maybe.
I'd walked back to the forest James took me to that time. I've taken so many photos while I was here. I put my camera back into bag and slowly made a start home. I'm in no rush to get back, especially if Wills still there. I took a different route home that didn't go past the graveyard. As i walked, Yellow started playing. The song James played for me. Thoughts of him paraded through my mind, 1 day without him, and he's all I can think about. My phone vibrated in my pocket. And again. And again. I feel so popular! I got my phone out to see who it was, turns out I just didn't have any service in the forest so my texts were just coming through now. 1 from Grace,Vodafone, and James.
I didn't bother reading the Vodafone one, Graces just said to come home, and best till last, I pressed on James'.
'I miss you more slut xxx' I smiled to myself as I walked. My thumbs waved over the keyboard as I thought of what to reply, as I stated to type, another text came through.
'Don't eat too much tonight, don't go to sleep until I text you again, and don't ask questions. I have a surprise for you:)xxx' I wonder what it is...
'You know I don't like surprises;) okay, talk to you later then mcvey:) maybe...xxx' I took my earphone out, wound them up and out them back in my bag. I'm just about 3minutes from the house.
