22: Lies

"Amber, are you okay?" A voice says.


"Leave me alone." I groan when a sniffle.


"Please, open the door. We need to talk." He pleads, still knocking on it.


"James, go away." I cry out.


"I know something happened between you and Kendall. I'm not leaving until you let me in." He says.


"How do you know?"


"Kendall won't come out of his room and our apartment is a wreck." He says.


I roll my eyes and stand up, walking to the door.


I grab the handle and slowly open it.


"Look James, I really don't wanna do this right now. Just go back to your day with Jeanette." I groan.


"She's pretty but she's clingy and annoying. And too bad, we need to talk. So make way, I'm coming in." He says and I step aside, letting him in.


I shut the door and he suddenly pulls me into a hug.


"Tell me everything that happened." He says, letting go of me.


"Kendall told me this crazy story about Nate wanting to steal me from him and he wants to destroy my career and some other bullshit." I roll my eyes.


"Woah. What did you say?" He says in a nervous voice.


"I told him that was crazy and we started talking about the situation with Jackson again. He got protective, so I told him that I understand why Jo left." I sniffle again.


"Maybe that was a little too far?" He cringes.


"I know, I know. I was just angry and I didn't know what to believe." I huff.


"I think you should come over now and talk to him."


"Why, so he can hurt me some more?" I huff, rolling my eyes.


"What? He would never, ever hurt you, Amber. He cares about you so much." He says in a soft tone.


"Really? Then why did he say he was done with me?" I say, raising my eyebrows.


"He says things he doesn't mean when he's mad. I'm positive he didn't mean what he said. C'mon, I'm sure he cooled off. Go talk to him. I'll walk you there if you're scared." He says.


"Okay." I nod, intertwining my hand with his and we head out.


I'm so scared.
