Changes

Chapter 6

James's POV

I wasn't eating, sleeping or leaving my bedroom since three days.

And since one week Riley wasn't talking to me, she didn't even wanted to look at me.

She wasn't even at dance.

If she was suffering, I would suffer too.

I was laying in bed facing the same wall for two hours.

"James you need to stand up and eat something, you gonna end in hospital", my mum said crying.

I felt bad for making her preoccupied, but I couldn't eat not without Riley talking to me.

Riley's POV

I was sitting at the chair in the kitchen eating my cornflakes.
Emily was in front of me watching me carefully.

All my head was thinking right now was that James was moving to California.
California, USA, away from me.
I wasn't talking to him, I know that it wasn't his fault, but I just couldn't talk to him.

Suddenly the door rang.
Emily stood up and opened the door.
I heard Deborah's voice, but couldn't understand what she was talking about.

I heard steps and turned around in my seat.
Deborah was standing there her eyes all watery.

"Riley, I need you to come with me to my house, James is not eating or standing up since three days, please", she begged me.

I don't even thought about it one second I immediately stood up and followed Deborah to the car.
This was all my fault.

I ran the stairs up so fast that I stumbled, but I didn't care I just wanted to see if James was okay.
I opened the door to James room and saw him laying on his bed.

"James", I said walking to his side.
He saw me and stood up fast.
He embraced me and I rested my head on his chest and started crying.

"I'm so sorry James", I said.
He just held me tighter and whispered:"It's not your fault"
We stood there some minutes longer.
Then we walked down to eat something.

James's POV

Riley's head was resting on my shoulder and I was holding my arm tight around her waist.
We were sitting on my Bed leaned against the bed frames.

Sometimes a tear would roll her cheek down and I would wipe it away.
"James when are you moving?", she asked.
"In one month", I told her.

"I'm gonna miss you", she said sadly.
"I'm gonna miss you too", I said looking down to her.

I took her hand in mine.
"I'm gonna move, but I'm coming back, I promise", I said.
I kissed her and she smiled slightly.
I peck her forehead and she rested her head on my shoulder again.

I know this Chapter is a bit dramatic, but I kind of like it.
Tell me your opinion.
