JAMES
Skimming through the words, I highlight my answer with a highlighter.
The yellow color causing the black letters to stand out.
The lamp beside me, illuminating the room through the darkness of the night.
It was late.
12:34 a.m. to be exact.
But I needed to distract myself.
My mind kept drifting to her.
She seemed to be all I could think about lately.
The ringing of my phone startles me and Theo whines from my bed.
"Sorry, boy." I turn to look at him. Theo simply lowers his down and closes his eyes.
Picking up the phone, I glance at the caller ID.
It's Nathan.
Answering the phone, I place it near my ear.
"You need to come to see her." He says and I grow worried.
"What?" I ask as my gaze lands on the portrait of the girl.
Her identity still unknown to me.
"She's not okay, James. I caused her to have a panic attack today all because I kept pressuring her to tell me about what happened to her. I feel so guilty right now. I caused my own sister to have a panic attack. I'm such a shitty brother."
I feel my heart clench at the thought of her going through such thing.
"Did she tell you?" I get up from my chair.
"Sort of." He sighs. "But James, you need to see her. You're my hope right now. Maybe you can help her. I don't want to tell our parents what happened, but if she continues like this, I will have no other choice. Please, I'm begging you."
"Are you sure?" I ask.
I want to see her.
But she doesn't want to see me.
And I respect her.
"You're the one she needs." He says softly and I bite my lip.
That's all he needed to say.
"I'll be there soon." I tell him before hanging up.
Grabbing my things, I walk out of the room and I don't stop until I reach my car.
THIRD POV
James parks the car and steps out of it in a rush not wasting any more seconds before jogging to the door.
As he stops in front of the door, his heart rate increases.
