Change Pt:2

Your POV

After walking out the front door of James's house, I quickly looked down to.see the.puppy trotting beside me with his adorable little tongue sticking out proudly.
I had never exactly been a dog person, but I had a strange passion for animals. I had a soft spot for them, as if I owed them something they had yet to receive.

James at my side, I knocked on the door. I was a bit anxious on what I was about to encounter. It was strange. I had never felt the strange tugging sensation that I had been feeling then. It was as if it was telling me to move away and run from this house. As if I were in danger. But that didn't add up, I was safe, correct?

James looked down at me and saw the worry in my eyes I was trying so hard to hide. He squeezed my hand reassuringly, leaving me speechless yet relieved.

The door opened with a jolt and an angry woman about my age appeared.

"What the hell do you want!!" She spat, venom lacing from her icy words.
" Well, we wanted to see if this cute little guy belonged to you. We might just reconsider. " I said crossing my arms with a bitter tone. I was certainly not expecting hate in this situation.

The girl looked down and smiled, mood changing instantly.
"Yes! Woofers! He does belong to me! " She said rather fast. It was almost as if it were a lie, but who was I to judge.
"Thank you for returning him!" She exclaimed with a sour expression .
"My name is Karen." She said without a moment's hesitation before slamming the door in our faces.

Walking on the way back, James was a little bit shaken up. There was nothing I could really do except be there to reassure him, as he wouldn't tell me what was bothering him.

After a couple of hours of sitting down and doing absolutely nothing productive, my stomach began to rumble.
"Hungry?" He questioned me. I nodded.
"Maybe some Chinese take-out and a movie?" I asked.
" If you want to. " He answered with a smile that seemed to.be forced. I wonder what's up with him. . .

We picked up our food and sat down on his couch that was a bit more familiar to me than it should have been. I hadn't realized just how much I had missed speaking to him after him being sick and all. We had missed a lot of togetherness and it was bothering me to no end.

"What do you want to watch?" I asked him, judging his arm with mine.
He shrugged..
"Cheesy horror movie? I nodded in response.
While flipping through the selection we had to choose from I couldn't help but notice how off he was looking. Had I upset him? Maybe it was the strange encounter with the neighbor lady called Karen. I didn't know who she was, but I could tell whatever she had said seemed to bug James. Maybe they had history? Who knows.

During the movie he shuffled closer to me, jumping at every scare there was. I was left with no wiggle room, but definitely wasn't complaining either. I stared at James, hoping he would soon give me an answer as to why he was so shaken.

I cuddled against his shoulder. I had been trying to focus on the movie rather than him, eventually giving up. He accepted my offer to cuddle and wrapped his arm around me. This was the best thing I had experienced in a while. Cliche, but true.

I never wanted the good moment to end. The last few weeks had been rough not only.I'm me but him as well, leaving me with little choice in how to react. I was happy, but sadly but to the ground when someone knocked on the door.

" James! James it's me Adam! Let me in please! "

And with that, my night drastically changed.
