A-Troupe Won Internationals at the end of Riley and James. Nothing could have been more perfect. Except everyone knew that after Internationals they were going to go separate way through college in the hope they would find their way back to each oth...
How did things get so complicated. Why does it feel like James and I took one step forward then three steps backwards. I want to forgive him but I don't know if I can I opened the envelope. Inside were three things The first being a ring, He gave me this ring after the whole Alfie thing but when he broke up with me for me to go to New York I gave it back The second was a letter, one I have not opened or read as of yet And finally.. the third item was a CD, It was blank and I had no idea what it was, I'm assuming the letter would probably give a little bit more understanding about it
I sighed holding the letter in my hands. I look one look at the photo frame on my bedside table, it was a photo of James and I that James took recently during one of our Friday nights in There has to be an explanation though right? James would intentionally hurt me surely? I worked up the courage until I was finally able to open the piece of paper in front of me
Riley,
I want nothing more then to be able to tell you this all in person but we both know I'm the last person you want to see or hear from right now and I don't blame you. I'm in the wrong, I know that, I know I should have told you but I didn't want to ruin what we had. I didn't want this to blow up but I can see now that it happened regardless on me hoping it wouldn't
You deserved to know, I should have told you the second it happened and I am sorry that I didn't. Marie asked about us and then asked me out and I promise you I turned her down. That's when she kissed me I know you won't believe me after the Beth incident but I swear this time I pulled away as soon as I realised what she was doing I'll always chose you Ri, It'll never be anyone else. You're my person
I've included your ring, I don't know why you ever gave it back to me. I bought it for you and only you And there is also a CD. That is probably what made you read this letter if I know you well enough. On the CD is one of the songs for the album I reckon you'll like it It's called 'Song For Riley Pt2'
James x
I smiled a little reading all of that but couldn't help but find myself curious about this song. He rewrote the song he wrote for our anniversary? And honestly I think it is exactly what I wanted to hear right now I loaded up my computer before putting the CD Sure enough there was only one file on the CD. Here goes nothing
'We were two kinds that new someday We'd make our way back Our way back to each other Your big brown eyes, I can't stop staring They pull me in and I'd do anything for you'
I smiled listening to the Lyrics, It made me chuckle a little that he kept some of the original lines in
I wanna see the world with you Come on and take me by the hand Don't even worry about it, you'll understand I wanna see the world with you The way you go out we follow What's better than us? Better than us? We don't wanna to know
The chorus was the same and I still love it, those lyrics always remind me so much of all the plans we used to have for each other
You're finicky, like a cat You worry, you worry 'bout this and that But all your quirks I love them When you silently sing and steal the duvet You know opposites attract
I burst out laughing at the second to last line, I do not steal the duvet.. It's the other way around James The song continued into another chorus and the more I heard, the more in love with it I fell
We had our ups and downs But you're the strongest for making it through the day You always make me proud We're gonna make it anyway, anyway, anyway
I don't think any words can describe how I'm feeling right now. It was so strange but I was in love. That song itself was enough to give me hope that things will work out. Things will get better. This is just a minor set back for us, nothing more. We've gotten through this before. We'll get through it again.. I know it
James' POV
"Are you still stressing?" Eldon asked and I nodded after finishing off my beer "I wouldn't worry too much" West replied making me send him yet another look "Why is that?" I asked hoping he wasn't going to come up with a stupid answer "If she hated you, she wouldn't have posted the most recent photo" He answered, I looked at him confused "what are you on about man" Eldon asked and West chuckled showing me his phone

"I thought it was the lyrics to the song you wrote her to begin but I don't think those are the lyrics" West said only making me smile more. They were the new lyrics "She opened the letter, she's read it all, she's listened to the song" I rambled I was about to run out of the bar and head straight to hers until my phone vibrated "Who is it?" Eldon asked "It's Riley" I said sighing looking down at the text
Riley: Hey, I know it's late and I know you are out with the boys. But I wanted to thankyou for the song. I know we are in a hard place right now but I know we'll get passed it. I just need some time first x
I sighed, it could have been worse she could have been completely walking away. This is a step in the right direction
James: Hey, I understand. You can have all the time you need, I'll be here waiting no matter how long it takes x
