A/N: Not sure if this is a good chapter... I just needed to write some cute moments already so... Enjoy! Though it sucks...

James's POV

Having dinner with Beth was kinda fun. She was as chilled as I am so we get along pretty well. Those couple of hours were great to keep my mind away from my break up with Riley.

But, as soon as I got home, everything just came back to me and I was finally aware of what had happened.

Riley broke up with me. My Riley was no longer my Riley... She was no longer my girl...

Man, I really screwed it... But why couldn't she see my side of things? She kept running away when the serious conversation started... I don't get her.

I go straight to my room, not feeling like talking to anyone right now... Especially my family...

They love, loved, Riley... So this would be a hard conversation... Probably I will just be lectured but well...

I am not gonna worry about it now.

I close my bedroom's door and the first thing that pops to me is a picture of me and Riley, in my nightstand.

I sit in my bed looking at it for a while.

It was taken during Regionals. Actually, it was Giselle who took it without us even knowing.

I am hugging Riley, my arms wrapped around her waist and her face snuggled in my chest. She is smilling and so am I. I had just comforted her.

Flashback

After Riley's accident on stage and us losing that round, Riley had freaked out. She kept apologising and blaming herself.

Honestly, I didn't understand why everone was worrying so much about this... I mean we could still be chosen to come back to the competition and I was pretty sure we would, I mean we're great.

After reminding everyone about this possibility, I could feel relieve in the air as well as stress...

Riley had again apologised and after everyone told her to shut up, she nodded and left the room.

I knew better than that. There was no way Riley would be that calm all of a sudden. Althought I did wish she was.

I follow her and find her crying in a Studio where teams got to practise their routine.

I get inside and sit next to her on the floor, wrapping my arm around her shoulder and kissing her forehead.

"Riles, baby, it wasn't your fault... It could have happened to anyone... Don't worry about it!"

She shakes her head and places it in my shoulder. "It could have been anyone, James... But it had to be... I had to mess everything up... I am such a loser!"

"C'mon, Riley! Please! It wasn't your fault, man... You didn't do anything wrong! And you are no loser! You are a great dancer! And we can still get back in competition. Which I am totally sure we will because we killed it!"

Riley shakes her head again. "But if it hadn't messed up ten we would have passed already and no one would be worried at the moment... I am just so sor..."

I crush my lips to hers, making her shut up. Not that I didn't like hearing her, because her voice was so sweet and adorabel, but because she needed to calm down.

At first she is in shock but soon she joins me. Her lips feel soft from crying, moving passionately against mine. She puts embraces my neck and I lift her, placing her in my lap. Our kiss becomes rougher but still full of passion and love. My hands get down to her waist and I caress it, gaining a soft moan in return.

After a few minutes of kissing, I pull away to catch my breath, but keep my forehead against hers.

She has her eyes shut but a shy smile lights her face.

"Better?" I whisper in her ear and she shivers. Her face turns red as she blushes. God, she is so shy that it's adorable!

"Yeah..." She whispers, opening her beautiful brown eyes, a bit puffy from crying.

I get up quickly with her still in my laps and spin her around making her giggle and says "Put me down, James" a few times. I finally place her down, and there is a gorgeous smile in her face.

"There is what makes my day brigther!" She shakes her head and hits my chest playfully, and I react pretending that she hurt me. "Stop it!" She tells me but pulls me into a tight hug, snuggling in my chest.

We stay like that for a few minutes until we hear a strange giggle. Giselle.

"OMG, you guys are so cute! Lookat this she says showing us the picture she had just taken.

It was in fact adorable I have to admit. " I want a copy of that!" I tell Giselle which makes both of the girls smile.

End of flashback

I place the picture down, hurting too much looking at her. All the memories spinning in my head are overwhelming.

I lie down in my bed, looking at the ceiling. I don't think a lot very often but I felt the need to do it...

We had been together for a while (actually it was the longest relationship I ever had), so I just couldn't help but feel like this kiss couldn't have meant the end of us... Yes it was a big mistake... But c'mon I tried to solve it! It's not like we had never had any discussion... But we always tried to solve things...

I remember very well how the first one was...

Flashback

I had told Riley to meet me in Squeezed. It was two days after Regionals and the next day I had a Maths' exam.

When I get there, Riley was already sitting at one of the tables, her right hand holding her head. She looked tired, purple-brown circles around her eyes.

I kiss the top of her head and sit in front of her holding her other hand.

"Hey! What's up? Why the tired look?"

She rubs her eyes and yawns. "I was studying 'till vey late last night... Had to catch up to what I didn't study when we were at Regionals... Can't fail this exam!" She answers but her voice is almost a whisper. She is really tired.

"Naw! Don't even worry about it! You'll be great as usual! I wouldn't sudy at all if I were you!"

She shakes her head. "Of course I have to worry and of course I have to stud! I know you are very chilled, James but this exam are really important! Speaking of which, how your study going? Do youneed help with anything? I can spend sometime studying with you, if you want..."

"Naw... I am fine... I know everything... No need to study. I wil be great!"

Suddendly, Riley's face turn from exausthed to really (believe me), really mad. She takes both of her hands to her head and shakes it.

"OMG, James I can't believe you right now! How come haven't you studied?! James this is important! It is something you can be just chilled about! To you want your mom to take you out of the Studio again? Leave again? Do you even want to go to Nationals! James... Ugggh... I am so mad at you!" She yells the last part and get up, heading to the door.

I follow her outside.

She is walking back and front, whispering thing that I can't hear. Probably about me...

I place a hand in her shoulder making her freeze in her place.

"You're right, Riley! I am really sorry... I should have studied already... I am just used to being this chilled and wasn't thinking about the consequences... Feel free to be mad at me, I get it!"

She hits my chest with both her fists, and then looks up to my eyes. "I am really mad at you... But I kind of get it... But there is a limit to being chilled..." She says, still with an angry tone.

"I know, I know... But that's why it's so good to have you! You make me understand the limits..." I say smirking a bit and she shakes her head doing the same.

"Okay, okay... Now you have to study! What about you come to my place and we study together?"

I agree and we head to her place.

xXx

We have been studying for about two hours now and I am understanding everything. Riley is a really good tutor, and helps me get foccused, though I steal her a kiss now and then.

She told me to do an exercise and to show it to her when I am finished.

I do as she says, putting a lot of effort in it, both to impress her and show her that I can be smart.

When it's done, I throw the paper to the table. "Ohhh! It's done baby, it's done..."

Then, i look to my side and see that she is fasten asleep next to me.

She was so tired that she given in to exhaustion. She looks so peaceful while she is sleeping, just like an angel.

She has her head in her crossed arms. Her cheeks are slightly pink, and there is a soft smile in her lips, which are very catchy at the moment but I hold myself back, not wanting to wake her up.

I know she needs to sleep so I decide that it's better if I let her sleep, but now in here. So, I will take her to her room.

I put a hand in back and one under her knees, lifting her up gently. She mumbles a bit in her sleep and leans her head in my shoulder, wrapping her arms around my neck. I kiss her forehead and she relaxes in my arms.

I carry her upstairs being careful not to make any rough moves.

When I get to her room, I place her down in her bed. She again mumbles, looking for my arms and I give her the big teddy bear I gave her for winning regionals. She hold it tight and relaxes, her breathing turning heavy again.

I kneel on the floor for a few minutes, taking in her peaceful figure, so beautiful and calm, as if nothing could disturb her. And actually, if it came to me nothing would... I grab a fluffy blanket that she keeps at the end of the bed and cover her with it.

I kiss her temple one last time, before turning to the door.

There is Emily, a playful smile in her face and her arms crossed.

I follow her outside, closing the door behind me.

"That was really sweet of you..." She says which kinda makes shocked. You rarely hear compliment coming from Emily so... It's a good thing...

"Yeah... I couldn't wake her up... She was so tired..."

Emily's smiles growns a bit. " I never thought I would say this but I am glad you are part of her life. A great part of her. You are very important to her. Please don't mess up!"

I shake my head. " I won't! She means everything to me..."

End of flashback

I had promised that to Emily but I hadn't kept my promise... I guess that's why she turned so angry at me... But I can't blame her... Riley is her baby sister and she was always very protective over her...

I hear my phone bip and see that I got a message from my group with the boys.

West - Yo, bros wanna come over to watch a movie?

I think about it... Tomorrow is my duet competition with Beth so I should take some rest but I don't think I will be able to do it when everything around me reminds me of her...

James - Sure, man. Be there in 15.

West's house was close to mine, only a small walk to there.

I grab my jacket and head downstairs.

"James? Is that you?" My mom asks from the kitchen.

" Yeah mom. I'm gonna watcha movie at West's"

"Okay honey, but be home before midnight!"

I nod and kiss her goodbye before leaving the house.
