His Girl

chapter 43

James

I was a mess. As soon as they took her I broke down. I couldnt lose her. I ran out, I shot at the parents car but my hand was too shakey and they got away. This was all my fault. Logan appeared next to me and tried to comfort me. "Boss, we will get her back" this only made me more angry. We shouldn't need to get her back, she should be safe with me. She should be here. My mind flashes back to when she begged me not to let them take her. I froze, I couldn't move back then and now she probably hates me. I couldnt help but feel a overwhelming urge to break something as I went back inside so I did. I broke a vase. I didnt feel better though and soon my whole house was a mess.

(Time skip to him arriving at Max's)

When max told me his address, I felt excited and happy but then it fell. She probably didnt want to see me and as I waited for her answer I couldnt help but hold my breath. Luckily she agreed and now here I was, stood in front of Max's apartment. I had been extremely careful not to be followed. I couldnt risk her safety or even Max's. God knows what his parents will do to him now.
After knocking, max opens the door holding a knife. It didnt bother me though, in fact it made me happy that he was being careful and making sure I wasnt someone who was after them.
"Jeez man, put the knife away" I joke and step inside. I notice Harper sat on this sofa, they must have been watching a film as the rolling credits appeared on the screen.
"Why didnt you stop them" her voice cracked, she was on the verge of tears. "I'm sorry, I froze, please forgive me" I say going to sit next to her but she moves away.
Fuck.
"Max, I think we should tell her about aria and what she did" I say knowing it would be beneficial for her to know. "I agree, everything or the short version" max asked.
"Everything, she needs to know why I hesitated" I reply.
We all sit on the sofa, I couldnt help but feel jealous that she is sat closer to max.
"So aria was my ex, she hurt both me and max" I begin, slowly as i say it i realize max had probably suffered more than me although my anger was justified at the time I realized it would be best to put the past behind us.
"She cheated on you right, with max" harper asked. I never told her that but before I can question how she knows she continued "err I kinda figured out" she lowered her head, she was afraid that I was angry with her. "Yes she did, please look up" I say and she slowly looks at me. "Aria messed with us" max said. "Yeah she did alot more than cheat" I couldnt help my deadly tone and although i didnt regret it, i did feel guilty seeing Harper shiver in fear.

Short chapter, just a filler. The full story of james/max/aria will be in the next chapter, any guesses of what else she did.
