Chapter 5: You will be Mine
"So... You were forced to go with Moran?" Sherlock asks Dryly.
"No... Not at all..."
"Hmm..."
"You may hear the whole story if you would stop interrupting..." I comment just as dryly.
"Go on then..." He sighs as if he is bored.
I merely roll my eyes at him. I can't for the life of me figure out why James is sooo obsessed with this man... seems rather boring to me...
"Anyway..."
I'm expecting James to be sitting on my couch when I stumble out of my bedroom the next morning... afternoon...
"My Love you look lovely this very fine...afternoon! I see you haven't changed a bit~" sings James as I look blankly at him as he sits at my dining room table. I merely quirk a brow and run my hand through my bedhead as I make my way over to the steaming mug of coffee sitting on the table.
"Why are you here James?" I sigh.
She moved into the house next door
Said she'd never been in love before
Tried the best she could to hide herself away
He looks me dead in the eye, "What no, 'hello, I've missed you! I love you more than life itself! Take me on the table now!'" he as he throws his arms and head back dramatically.
"What are you doing here James?" I deadpan returning his stare.
It's blank for a moment before he comes to life and laughs jovially, "I came to get you! You've been a naughty girl, refusing Moran last night!" he sings before he tisks me.
I roll my eyes, "James, I'm not going with you..."
"WHY NOT?!" he bellows before regaining his cool.
I merely look up at him unphased.
But every time she turned the lights down low
He thought he heard a voice calling out so slow
Come and take me away from all this pain
And he said
"You know why..." I say coolly while looking out the window.
"Is it that man you have been seeing? Cause if it is..."
"You'll do what? Kill him?" I ask sharply.
"Worse..." he growls letting the maniac out for a moment.
"James... I asked you to leave me alone all those years ago because of this! You don't respect me!"
"I respect you!"
I merely give him a look over my coffee as I take a sip.
I see you sitting there at the window sill
Looking for shooting stars
I wanna get closer and closer still
I wanna take over your heart
"If I didn't respect you! If I didn't..."
"Didn't what James?! Care?! That's just it. You. Don't. Care."
He turns to look at me with his face a mask of fury.
"I thought that you understood me! Understood that...," he growls out before he gets up moves over to the window.
I watch him bewildered for a moment, "What do you mean?"
He heaves a world weary sigh as if he's talking to a simple child "I thought that you understood why I do the things I do..."
"James... half the time you don't understand why you do the things you do!"
"I DO THEM FOR YOU!" he bellows with such passion that I'm momentarily stunned.
You will be mine, mine
Over time, time
You're gonna find, find
I'll make you mine, mine
"No James... I'm just your excuse..."
He whips around to face me before he walks briskly in front of me before he kneels down and looks me straight in the eye.
"Why can't you believe that I love you?"
"Because you told me a long time ago that you can't love." I whisper with tears threatening to fall. "How do you think it makes me feel to know that the man I love can never love me back?"
He frowns before he looks away from me, "You say that you love me because that's how you get all the others... You tell people what they want to hear so they'll do what you want."
"That's not true," he growls.
"You don't love me James... You're obsessed with me..."
Every morning when she came outside
He tried to be the one to catch her eye
But she would only turn away and hide
"I thought you knew me better than that. I thought you knew that the reason I did what I did was because of you! Because I wanted to be someone respected! Because of you! NOBODY LAUGHS AT ME NOW! And no one will laugh at you either! Don't you see? I'm untouchable and if you're with me so are you."
"No James... You aren't untouchable...there is a reason why you're here... and it's not because of my life is it? You have to prove to them that you aren't vulnerable, you can't even let them think that they got you."
His blank look is back and I remember the chills it used to send up my spine when we were younger. I recall for the briefest of moments the first time I ever saw that look and realized what it means.
He started to concoct a plan
To get her to return the feelings that he had
To show her how he thought they were entwined
It means that he's trying to distance himself from what he's about to do.
I look down into my empty coffee mug and reach for the coffee pot that feels heavier than it should and pour myself another cup.
"I think you're scared of your feelings for me. I think you're scared of loving someone who is..."
"What James?"
He just looks at me.
"No James I want you to say it. I want to hear it come from you," my words feel heavy on my tongue.
"A criminal."
I see you sitting there at the window sill
Looking for shooting stars
I wanna get closer and closer still
I wanna take over your heart
I feel my eyes grow heavy before I look down into my cup.
"James... what did... you do... to... me?"
"Well, you are rather stubborn..." he says offhandedly.
"Dammit James!"
He just shrugs and holds up his hands, "Consulting Criminal."
I'll make you mine, mine
I feel my breathing get deep and rhythmic as my eyes get heavier. My mind is muddled so I can't really understand what else he says to me.
Little love letters written in red
Folded up, put away next to the bed, oh
Little crushed hopes every day
Waiting in the wings to spirit her away
The last thing I remember is the world going black and a pair of strong arms pulling me to a warm body.
I hope you all enjoyed the chapter! I hope that you review and let me know what you think!
