Hi guys! Here's a non requested James story I wrote a little while ago, It's inspired by the song "In Real Life" by Demi Lovato & I think it turned out pretty good. I have 2 requests that I'm working on at the moment and I'll post them soon, it's just that this week has been a bit crazy. I just wanted to share this story with you guys, hope y'all like it xoxo- Jels♥
* I couldn't find a youtube lyric video where the song wasn't high pitched so here's a tumblr link of the song if some of you haven't heard it http://los-angelesdream.tumblr.com/post/42386231720/rajhanah-in-real-life-demi-lovato
As I wake up alone again this morning, my heart aches wondering where he could be. I grab my phone and I decide to call him, he owed me an explanation for not making it home yesterday. Just like almost everytime I called him, the voicemail comes up : “Hey it’s me, leave a message”
I sigh frustrated but decide to leave a message anyways saying: “Hey I’ve been worried, where are you? Look I think this isn’t working out, call me please”
Just as I hang up, I hear the door open then close with a thud. I get out of bed & find him looking in the refrigerator for food.
“Where were you last night?” I ask him worried but annoyed at the same time. Lately, everytime I would face him, I didn’t feel what I once felt in the beginning of our relationship. During that time, he was sweet, caring but honestly, I don’t think he ever loved me, and I guess he still doesn’t love me now. Lately I seemed angry when he was around.
“I told you yesterday, I was in Jared’s house.”
“till now? 10 am?”
“yeah” he answers plainly without caring.
“well you should’ve called, I was worried here for you”
“you don’t have to worry about me, hey where’s the bread?” I’m going out with Jared again.”
“Again?” I demanded.
“Yes” he looks into my eyes annoyed.
“Can’t you stay with me here today?”
“Another day then, where’s the bread??” he keeps looking through the pantry.
“Look Trevor, this isn’t working out, what’s gotten into you? You’re not the same person I met.”
“What’s up with you?! Reprimanding me huh?..quit getting on my nerves! I’m gonna go out!”
“Oh..i’m getting on your nerves??! I’m always alone & I’m tired of it!! You’re not what I thought you were & I’m sick of it..this “relationship” is not what I wanted on the first place” I say almost weeping, my knees almost giving up on me.
“Well find someone else then!” he screams and shuts the door hard and with that sound, my heart broke into a million pieces …. I should’ve known.
With the large thud of the door, my eyes fluttered open & I realize it was morning already. The nightmares of my past relationship kept haunting me in my dreams occasionally and they felt so real that my eyes were wet with tears. I was tired, I needed to forget completely and focus on my new life.
I look next to me and the side was empty, but there sat a beautiful bouquet of red roses. I sit up, fix my messy bun and grab the breathtaking display, I smell them and their scent linguers in my system & I smile content . Suddenly I hear the door open silently & I hear a sweet voice that automatically sends shivers down my spine. “Hey sleepyhead, did I wake you?”
“No, I woke up just now, these are really beautiful James, thank you” I get up and hug him, I feel him kissing my head as his arms circled my waist. “you’re welcome babe”
We just stay there holding each other, enjoying the moment, I honestly didn’t want to let go. I feel my eyes stinging and I’m thinking : “crap I don’t wanna cry anymore!” but tears start falling anyways ignoring my request. He pulls away from me slowly “hey is everything okay?” he strokes my face sweetly.
“yeah” I manage to let out a chuckle, embarrassed, but he had seen me crying before. “I’m just really grateful for you & for the past few weeks i've been having nightmares from when I was with Trevor & all the horrible things I felt. And honestly, now I can say that my dream of being with someone who truly loved me and made me feel great about myself came true with you. “
“Sweetie” he wipes away my tears. “I know that he treated you wrong but that’s the past and I’ll help you restore, I’m not going anywhere” he leaves me breathless & leans in to kiss me.
“This is real life, it’s not a dream..thank you.” I say smiling at him
“you’re welcome, I love you”
“love you too”
“okay, lets get some breakfast” he suddenly grabs me from my legs and puts me on top of his shoulders, I scream. “James put me down!!” My laughs keep going as we go down the stairs, breakfast ready to be made.
