Ghost Bird The Academy: Jameson Addition.

Birthday Party Bitches

"It's hard to learn to trust when all you have from the past is evidence why you shouldn't."

                                     Monday

James winced a sharp pain cutting through her stomach making her let out a gasp. She curled in on herself squeezing her eyes shut her lower abdomen was throbbing. She went to twist but Kota's arms were wrapped tightly around her holding her close.

Normally she would want to lean further into the cuddling but right now she needed to stand. She had to pry herself out from under him thankful that his bathroom was in his room. She quickly moved in sitting down.

She was on her period.

The cursed day she couldn't help but hate.

She was mortified when she realized she had bled through her underwear, her eyes widened when she realized she also bled through the sweat pants Kota had let her borrow.

Tears swelled in her eyes as her face flushed.

Her bag was downstairs she would have to walk past Kota to get to it. She didn't want to put new clothes on without taking a shower. God, what if Erica was home? Her first time meeting the women with blood on her clothes.

Were one of the boy's coming over? She looked for her phone so she could text someone to bring up her bag only to curse when she realized she left it at the bedside.

James dropped her head letting her hands come to cover her face.

She hated today.

She didn't know how long she sat there cursing herself in her head. She was sure she would have stayed longer if not for the knock at the door. "Tiger, you alright?" Kota's voice was warm and concerned. She didn't mean to worry him.

She opened her mouth a lie on her tongue only pausing. She didn't want to lie to him.

"No," James's voice was soft barely a whisper.

"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Did you hurt yourself? Have you checked your tempter-"

James made an odd noise at the back of her throat unsure how to answer his rapid questions. He paused briefly his voice hesitant. "May I come in?"

"I'm on the toilet,"

"...Does your stomach hurt?"

James bit her lip, "I have cramps," She admitted feeling herself flush again. He paused for a moment, she knew Kota was smart. Out of all the boy's she figured he knew what having cramps usually entailed.

She thought maybe she was wrong though because in the next breathe she heard footsteps walking away and suddenly she felt even more worried her lip wobbling. Why did she spend the night?

This was embarrassing and James had been through a lot.

Jesus she-

"I'm um. Back. Can I-"

"You can come in Kota," James mumbled keeping her head down not wanting to look him in the eye.

The door clicked open, his bare feet pounding against the bathroom floor.

"I brought tampons, and pads, there's some panty liner's in there too. I also grabbed your backpack in case none of these work for you," Kota said his voice smooth. James looked up her eyes wide and she realized he had all three in his hands. Her backpack now laying by her feet.

Kota sweet thoughtful Kota.

She didn't even know what to think.

What to say.
