Wish You Were Here / * CASEY

[JAMES RUSSELL RUNE]

Was this seriously happening to him? The pieces didn't fit together at all - yeah, he had been skinny dipping with a bunch of girls, but James thought nothing of it. He would never consider that Jayden would get jealous over something such as that - it just did not make sense in his head. He knew Jayden was easily brought up upon jealousy but that was just the thing - James wouldn't consider this a reason to be jealous. He hadn't been attracted to a girl in years and plus, when he went skinny dipping, he wasn't even in his right mind. Walking in on Jayden kissing Duncan without mindly reasoning just broke his heart though - he didn't let him see him and he left the party immediately. Why would he do this? His thoughts were nothing but that line the entire walk home. He luckily lived not too far from the party and he was able to calapse on the couch and be on his own for a good while. Eventually though, Ransom and Zack sat on the couch and he explained everything to them to let everything out. They ended up putting him to bed and he slept for most of the night, that is, until about four am. He woke up with a huge headache and he dialed Caseys number over, and over and over until she answered. From there, James told her to get online and told her about it. Now all he wanted was to go to bed, but he didn't want to sleep alone. Normally he'd just go next door and cuddle up with Jayden if he were upset but, no. That obviously was not an option.

Now, Casey was headed to James house and he was sitting on his bed with his legs crossed, sending millions of text messages to her. He sniffled a little and sent the tenth of his ten messages to her, 'just walk in, lock the door, come in my room and lay with me.' He closed his phone after sending it and turned it off, tossing it to the side. He plopped backwards on the bed and stared at the ceiling, counting up to sixty a few times until he eventually groaned and mumbled to himself, "Where the fuck is she..?"

i took a walk for the very first time on the dark side of the dance floor. lit a match just to heat things up, but i got more than i bargained for. the song was casey's ringtone for one person and one person alone. she rolled over, her eyes opening reluctantly. casey yawned, then reached out for her phone, thus answering the phone call from james. he was crying, and immediately, casey sat up in bed, already concerned. barely able to speak straight, he told her to get online. casey agreed, hanging up and immediately turning on her laptop. they got to talking, and james told his story about jayden kissing duncan. it wasn't long before james was pulling his classic maneuver where he asked her to come over and fall asleep with him. this wasn't a rare occurence, so of course casey agreed without a second thought. brooke had woken up to ty's barking, so of course she wanted to talk a little bit before casey left. but after the seventh text message from james, casey had to say goodbye.

they hugged for a moment, brooke then heading back to sleep and casey heading out the door and to her car. her phone went off three more times before falling quiet. stopped at a red light, casey checked the last three messages, but didn't reply to any of them. she put her phone back in the passenger seat of the car, continuing to drive towards james' place. she'd traveled this way so many times, she could probably walk there in her sleep. finally, casey arrived at her destination. she got out of her car, shoving her phone in her hoodie pocket as she walked up to the front door. she was quiet, making sure she didn't wake up ransom or zack. casey locked the front door behind her like james had asked, and then turned and headed upstairs into james' room. she closed his bedroom door behind her as well, then climbed onto the bed next to her best friend. "sorry i took so loooong. brooke wanted to talk." she said, yawning in the middle of her sentence. casey rubbed her eyes, then closed them.

[JAMES RUSSELL RUNE]

Seconds were beginning to feel like hours to James - where in the world was Casey? He needed her but she wasn't there for him yet and she was taking her sweet ass time on making her way over. He sat up from the laying position he had been in during the phone conversation and online one, setting the laptop aside and on the floor near his bed. He decided that while he waited for her he was going to watch television and he scanned around the room in search of the remote controller. The silver, dull channel changing device was about two feet away from his bed on the floor and he leaned sideways over to grab it up. He turned the television on and changed it to MTV hits, weirdly enough, one of their music videos was playing. He changed it immediately when the video focused in on Jayden, straight to a channel that he wouldn't ever get mad at... Teen Nick. It had the best shows in the world on it, like occasionally The Amanda Show(Which he missed dearly), Degrassi, Drake and Josh, Degrassi, That's 70s Show, Degrassi, What I like about you, and did I mention DEGRASSI? He was a super huge fan of the show, having watched it since Degrassi Junior High. For some reason, at four in the morning, re-runs of season three were playing and he was watching them.

He didn't have to keep his attention on the dramatic show for too long though, Casey eventually let herself in and was next to him on the bed, obviously extremely tired. He said nothing to her at first but just gave her a small smile, slightly forced but also not at the same time. His eyes were red from the constant crying that he had been doing but at the moment no tears were visable and sobs weren't audible. He nodded lightly, understanding her reasoning for being late and being a lot more calm about it now, unlike he was over text. He plopped down and laid next to her, reaching his arm out and motioning for a hug. "It's okay... you're here now, that's all that matters."

casey looked at the television, seeing degrassi. a small smile formed on her lips because she knew it was one of james' favorite shows. she watched it for a moment, before switching her gaze back to james just in time to see the small smile he gave her. she smiled back softly, but it didn't last long when she saw how bloodshot and red james' eyes were from crying. casey frowned slightly, but hid her worry and concern by yawning and rubbing her hands over her face. she always hated it when her friends were upset and fought. being the good friend casey was, it was hard to choose sides and choose who to comfort and who to be mad at. sure, the fights usually weren't her own, but those were her friends and she usually felt like their fights were hers, too. so, casey didn't usually choose sides. she comforted whoever got to her first, and got mad at who she felt was wrong in the situation. in this situation, casey probably would end up mad at jayden. however, she hadn't exactly heard his side of the story yet, so really, casey had no idea.

the girl looked over at her best friend as she felt the bed shift and him lay next to her. she rolled into him, wrapping her arms around his slender body and burying her face in his shoulder. she closed her eyes, chuckling when james said that it was okay, and all that mattered was that she was there now. she turned her head so she could talk, laughing quietly. "that's not what the ten text messages said." she teased quietly, smiling at him to let him know she was completely joking. "i'm still sorry. i should've gotten here sooner." casey told him, yawning one more time. she tucked some of her hair behind her ear, then let her eyes fall closed. she reopened her eyes after a moment, biting her lip. "i love you, james. i hope you feel better about all of this when we wake up." casey whispered, shifting to plant a small kiss on his cheek before laying her head back down. she closed her eyes again, her head resting on his shoulder like before.
