Help Me Help You [ON HOLD]

40. Control (⚠️)

Author's POV;

James was outside Keith's room trying to calm his heart down. He really didn't want Keith to feel so down.

"I hate when this happens" he cursed grinning his teeth in anger.

James walked to a seat where he laid his head on.

A bang was heard and he immediately rose his head up from the table.

He was met with a smiling Mason.

"What's up buddy" Mason asked.

"What do you want" James asked annoyed.

"Why do you always seem mad when I just want to talk to you" Mason asked.

"Idk"

Mason was speechless for a moment.

Mason got on his feet and just kept still.

James looked at him and Mason eyed him wanting him to follow.

Mason lead his friend to the courtyard and sat on the hammock.

James sat as well.

"You know, when things go wrong, it's cuz your growing" Mason said.

James dryly chuckled.

"You don't have to be worried" James said.

"Just in case you could reconsider, there are two bottles of whiskey in my hands" Mason rose.

Some moments passed and Mason's had was still baring a bottle. Defeated, James looked at the bottles sighing as he took one in his hand.

He opened it just as Mason did the same and cheersed.

"Cheers to our fucked up lives" Mason said as they pushed their bottles together in the air making a click sound.

The two chugged their drinks down.

Mason still had more by his side.

"Fuck it" James said as he took some more and joined Mason to drink the rest.

Kira and the others were still partying. Angela said that she was tired so she left.

Suddenly Kira notice some men at the party were staring at her.

The three men licked their lips.

Kira felt uncomfortable so she tried not to make eye contact.

She moved from various places to avoid them, but it seemed to her like they were trying to circulate her.

Suddenly she felt strong arms grab her waist.

The girl gasped noticing a man chuckle behind her.

"Beautiful" he said.

"Thanks for the compliment, but I'd appreciate it if you weren't so fucking close" she said lifting her leg up against her shoulder to hit the man's head.

The others growled.

One tried coming by the left but Kira knew better.

She dodged him and kept her leg on the way so he could trip.

Kira laughed at him.
