You took the last drag of your cigarette, dropped it on the ground & stomped it out. You were still fuming so you lit up another one. You inhaled deeply, enjoying the feeling on minty nicotine, hitting your lungs. You zoned out as you smoked, trying to focus on anything other than James. You looked out over the city, taking in the view of city lights, dancing in the distance. You counted the stars, there were alot out tonight, which was strange. In a place like this, it was usually very hard to see the stars at all, but tonight. They were big, & bright, & there were so many of them (no moon though, that you could see anyway). You marveled at them, you've always loved the stars.
You finally started to calm down. You took the last puff of your second cigarette, & went to drop it on the ground, but your wrist was caught in a near bone snapping grip.
"Don't even think about it." James growled behind you.
"Unhand me, now." You hissed, beyond pissed.
*Why can't this ass just leave me alone..*
You attempted to wrench free, but he held fast.
"Drop that thing & you'll pay." You glared at him, then smirked when you got an idea.
You flicked the cigarette butt out of your hand, sending it flying off to your right.
"Oops.." You smiled, deviously.
"Bitch. Go pick it up." You looked around at the ground, there were cigarette butts everywhere. Why was he getting so pissed over yours?
"Which one? We won't be able to find mine in the pile of them out here. Why does mine matter anyway? What, it's fine when your friends do it but I can't because you don't like me?" You were getting very angry now. You ripped your arm away from him, & stormed over to the door. You needed to go find Andy & they rest of the guys & get away from this creepo. James stepped in front of you though.
"Move your ass, pretty boy, I'm leaving." You growled, trying to shove him out of the way. He barely budged.
"Oh, you're not going anywhere. If you won't pick it up, you'll have to pay for litering on my property in another way." He licked his lips, you gave him a disgusted face & pulled out your phone. You went to call Andy or Ashley (whichever number you could get to first) but James yanked your phone out of your hand. He began advancing on you, giving you a look that made you ill to your stomache.
*Dammit, not again..*
"Lay so much as a finger on me & I'll break you, you spoiled brat. Now, give me my phone back & let me leave." He didn't say anything, just slipped your phone into his pocket, & kept walking towards you. You ran around him, running for the door, but he caught you by the arm again.
"That does it.." You spun around & kicked him in the stomache, he doubled over & groaned.
"Fucking you, uhg you Bitch!" He lunged for you, but you moved out of the way, causing him to run face first into the door. Getting the attention of a couple people inside. All the boys came running out, just as James started stumbling towards you again.
"Ember!" Andy came running out, a worried look on his face. He saw James & his eyes turned yellow, he began making his way over to you two. You sighed, here he came to save the 'Damsel in distress', once again. You didn't want him to have to save you all the time, for once you wanted fight your own battle. Before Andy could get to you, James swung at you, attempting to punch you in the face. You ducked before he could though, & he missed, giving you the chance to clock him. Which you did, right in the nose. He stumbled back a bit, grabbed his face, & looked at you in shock. He didn't say anything though, neither did anyone else, he just stepped back then stumbled inside.
"Fucking creep.." You hissed, wipping the blood off your fist on your skirt. The boys cheered, Ashley embraced you in a tight hug, lifting you up & spinning you around. The girls followed.
"Are you ok??"
"Are you alright??"
"Did he-"
"He didn't-"
"I'm so glad you're ok-"
"That was great!"
"That was AWESOME!!"
They all started talking all at once. You laughed, & told everyone you were fine. Everyone stood there for a couple minutes, while you explained what happened. After a minute or two, though, you noticed Andy wasn't with you guys.
"Shit, where's Andy?!" You asked everyone, noone said anything. Ashley's smile faded & he just looked at you worried.
"Fuck.."
You ran inside, followed by everyone else, & looked around for him. You couldn't see him, he wasn't anywhere in sight. & Neither was James.
