Chapter 55 Cry, Cry Baby

*James*

"Trish.... you can't take James away from Julia like that."

"Julia is at the Avalon. You said it yourself. She signed the forms to be a permanent resistant there."

"WHAT?!!" 

****

I almost dropped Nate's medication on the floor when I heard him and Trisha talking. "Julia is a permanent resistant there? Since when??"

Nate explained it all to me. How is all went down. How Julia wasn't thinking clearly. All of it. What the hell was she thinking!! I spend the rest of the day thinking about this decision. It consumes me. 

If Julia lives at the Avalon what will happen to me when Everyone goes on tour? Am I back under my sisters care again?  Who will watch over Julia? Jeremy???

"Hey. You ok?" Trisha pops into my bedroom. I'm sitting on the couch driving myself crazy with all the what ifs.

"I can't believe Julia did that."

"I know. But maybe it's a good thing. She is determined to get better. She knows she needs help. Maybe this will help her." Trisha sits down next me.

"I think she did it without thinking. You know how she gets. She's pissed you and I are together and jumping off the deep end. Making it so she isn't a burden to others. I know how she thinks. She's really not taking this well." I mumble.

"She'll come around."  Trisha begins kissing my jawline trying to change the subject.

"What happens if she doesn't though, She's my best friend." I say as she kisses my neck.

"Can we not talk about Julia Moretti right now? It's kind of a buzzkill." She presses her hand against my hard on and I groan. But I'm hard BECAUSE I'm thinking about Julia. She's anything but a buzzkill. I obviously don't tell Trisha this.

"Hey, what do you want to do today?" She pecks my lips.

"Actually, I really need to clear the air with Julia. Do you mind if I go to The Avalon for a little while?"

"You're kidding, right?" The look dissatisfaction creeps up on Trisha's face.

"I'm sorry. I really need to make things right. She's already going through such a hard time. I really wanted to keep things quiet until after she detoxed."

"Between you and Nate I don't know who is worse. You might as well rent a cot at The Avalon." She says with sarcasm and stands up, ready to leave.

"I'll make it up to you." I gaze at her.

"Yeah? How?"

"C'mere and I'll show you."

*Trisha*

James will use sex to his advantage any chance he gets. Which isn't such a bad thing when I'm the one benefiting from it. For the first time ever, I don't think of Nate. Not when I'm with James. It's hard to think of ANYONE else but James when you're with James.

So yes, I give in.  After Casey takes us to run errands, James asks to swing by the Avalon.

"So, I guess we just wait here?" Casey looks over to me now. I sense she is going to ask me if we can go into the Avalon, but we are interrupted by Nate who taps on the passenger window. I roll it down and bat my lashes at him.

"May I help you?" I tease.

"Can I ask why you two are here?" Nate leans against the car. His car that he lets Casey borrow since Julia is here.
