My Love [James Cook]

⌞fifty⌝

          The next day Arabella decided that she wasnt going to mourn any longer, she already felts bad as it is but she would not let it bring her down. She woke up earlier to shower and changed into a light brown skirt with a white t-shirt once she had dried off. She put her hair into Dutch braids and slipped on a cream cardigan, white socks and shoes.

Once she had finished changing, she put on lip gloss, mascara and eyeliner before grabbing her bag and heading downstairs. James had let her have a night to herself, allowing her to collect her thoughts and hope she would feel better. She sort of did. Meeting James at the burger van she had first ever met him, the two walked to college hand in hand

They walked in to see Pandora on the verge of tears surrounded by their friends. Arabella, being the curious person she was, headed straight over while James went to get them both drinks. Pandora explained that Thomas had admitted to sleeping with someone else and so she was obviously upset with him.

"that's funny" Arabella muttered, falling back into the sofa opposite as she let out a chuckle. Pandora and Emily glared at her

"what's funny about him cheating" Emily asked

"didn't she do the exact same thing at the beginning of the year" Arabella shrugged, Pandora and James had sex whilst Thomas was back in Congo. The distance didn't matter because they where still together, no one could prove anything but

"that's different though" Pandora exclaimed

"how panda?" Arabella sat forward, resting her chin in her hands and her elbows on her knees "Because he wasnt in England? you where still dating weren't you, i remember you telling me and Effy that you wanted your boyfriend back the same night you fucked cook"

"that's not fair, this isn't fair and you know it" Pandora claimed, slightly shouting now

"why? because your heart is broken? at least he didn't fuck your best friend, im pretty sure that would hurt even more huh" Arabella leant back in the chair with a huff, crossing her arms over her chest "face it Pandora, your being a hypocrite"

"Bella stop" Emily stated

"why should i? i dont remember a fuss being made over him when the exact same thing happened to Thomas. He forgave you Pandora, quickly as well. If i was in his shoes i wouldn't have forgiven you so maybe this is his way of telling you he hasn't after all this time" Arabella shook her head "its all very funny to me"

"what's funny to you" James asked Arabella as he jumped over the back of the sofa beside her

"nothing, i dont want to be here. wanna get drinks?" Arabella asked the boy, resting her head on his shoulder

"yeah sure, anyone coming?"

Naomi, James and Arabella sat in a pub in the town centre. It was finally the weekend and the day before Arabella's parents came home so the teens decided now would be the best day to talk about what went down at the party and since Arabella's parents where skilled in legal matters, Arabella had her own fair share of knowledge.

"listen it doesn't matter whether or not they find out if you gave the drugs to the girl or to some other kid in the club you'll still get time. Your a minor for one more week James, if you get caught then you'll go to jail not just a fucking detention centre. Its seven years for possessing illegal drugs" Arabella whispered to the pair, downing her drink quickly

"its fucked up, we didn't even kill her" Naomi muttered

"you didn't kill her but you gave her the drugs that pushed her to doing what she did, luckily they have no way in knowing unless either of you get caught with drugs or caught out in a lie to a fed. Create a story and stick to it, dont admit anything because you will get put away. Dont do anything that will cause cops to keep an eye on you. Basically just keep lowkey until it blows over"

"and what about you, what'll happen if one of us gets caught and they find out you helped us" James asked, clearly worried about the girl more than himself

"i wont be found out unless one of you fuckers tell them that i was involved, which you wont because i swear on my life i will make your lives living hell. My parents will do anything they can to help without me telling them the full story so hopefully it'll be over quick" Arabella threatened, she was not about to go to prison for something she didn't do

"guys look" Naomi nodded her head over to Thomas, the two others both looking in the direction of the boy

"whey its tommo. How the fuck are you still diddling me ol' Jammie cheating todger" James announced to the boy. The boy in question started walking towards the three

"what did you say?"

"everyone knows mate" James said

"your such a tit, Thomas. She loved you" Naomi added

"hey, i dont think your in the wrong here Thomas. Dick move but she did it to you did she not" Arabella held her hands up in surrender turning in her chair to face him.

"pissed on old panda pops didn't you?" James ignored Arabella's comments, not particularly wanting to relive when Arabella was always mad at him "who's the lucky lady anyway, to have got Congo cock?"

"oh shit" Arabella snorted as Thomas swung at James, she found the worst things amusing these days. Thomas was shouting sentences whilst continuously punching at James over and over, Naomi tried to stop Thomas from getting to Cook more than he already did . The barman eventually came over and pulled him off. Arabella was just watching.

"Thomas! Thomas it was me. I gave it to her" Naomi announced, successfully getting Thomas to stop swinging 

"what, you what?"

"cook... cook dealt me the powder, that's it. I needed some money and i just sold it to some random" Naomi was on the brink of tears

"she died, shes dead!" Thomas exclaimed

"i didn't mean that to... please dont tell anyone, dont tell Emily" Naomi begged before leaving the pub. Arabella grabbed James and dragged him out behind her, taking him straight to hers where she cleaned up his cuts and iced his bruise. She didn't know what she expected to happen in her final year of college but it wasnt this.
