James had no idea how Nicole could contact him, he had changed his mobile since he had met her and wasn't supposed to be in contact for security reasons when he was in CHERUB. But James had always wanted to know how Nicole was doing, and now that he wasn't in CHERUB he could technically contact her...
James thought about this as he entered the the kitchen hangout, Kerry was talking on the phone , a glass of water was on the table and she also looked quite hangover.
"Oh yes, 4 o'clock will be fine, Thank you, goodbye." Kerry looked really sad. James walked to Kerry, only a space behind her chair. He put his arms around her, smiling, but noticed that she looked unhappy.
"So,can you remember how awesome last night was?" James whispered, just next to Kerry's ear ,grinning. Kerry jumped in her seat, dropping the phone on the floor.
"Oh, uh hi James , just ringing the doctors." She moved so she was out of James's reach.
"what for?" James questioned, getting confused by her distance.
"Nothing ." She said quietly and too quickly for James's liking
"Look James, I do love you, but this relationship isn't healthy for either of us." Kerry stared at the floor, not looking James in the eye.
"I think we should just stay friends while we don't hate each other, it's the mature thing to do."
Kerry was weirdly quiet, she looked as though she was in pain. Her face was pale and her hands were trembling. As he was getting more worried about her, Kerry finally looked up and had tears in her eyes. Without saying one more word, she walked out and closed the door. Leaving James frozen on the spot with shock.
Later that day...
Still feeling low, James picked up his phone and rang Nicole, having no idea what to say, he hoped the conversation wouldn't be to awkward.
"Hello?" The voice sounded like an older version of Nicole, for some stupid reason James didn't expect this.
"Oh, uh, hello, it's James, James Adams, You texted me before?"
"James! It's great to hear from you! How are you doing?"
James felt a bit more confident because of Nicole's enthusiasm and friendliness.
"Oh, you know me, getting into shit as usual, girl trouble, not doing much work Exeter-a." The words 'girl trouble' left him with a weird pain in his chest.
Nicole laughed, " listen, I've got to go, but we could meet up, tomorrow at Starbucks in the town, 2'clock?"
"Yes, sounds great, see you then."
" Bye!"
"Bye."
James smiled to himself, but his smile faded fast. How did Nicole know he was near the town? If she knew that, she must know he was at CHERUB campus. But that was impossible, wasn't it?
To come Soon ...
Is Kerry just heartbroken, or is she hiding something? How did Nicole get James's number and know he was in England?
