Third person's p.o.v
(James thought that he is the reason of their distance. What actually happened was that Felicia liked Jason and her father was not happy about it. Her father wanted her to marry his friend's son but she didn't like him she liked Jason who was her husband in the present. They were fighting over it and her father said something which completely shocked everyone)
Felicia: that's why i don't want to live here.
Mr. Jackson: get out then. You are dead to me.
(Their mother tried to calm him down and James went to Felicia but she pushed him and ran to her room and soon she moved away from the house and didn't talk to her parents nor they called her. Only James kept in touch with her. Even though she was not that close to him yet she didn't cut him off)
(This was actually the reason of why their parents stay out of the country and James lives in his sister's house, not the house that his father bought for him. He stays there so that he can bring his family back together. He told Felicia that he doesn't have a home here and the one that father bought for him was taken back. So, she took him in thinking her father is being cruel to James because of her. She felt bad for her brother. James thought he's making some progress but he knew that there is a lot more to do to get her back, to get the sweet, happy Felicia back. So, right now he thought of talking to her. He looked at her)
James: hey fefe~
(She looked at him, but this look was not affectionate at all. It was just a tired look)
James: i just wanted to ask where Jason is?
Felicia: really? You don't even know how to act naturally. Using this question to talk to me when you know where he is. You really want to piss me off.
James: well then how should i talk to you? Every time i try to make a conversation work you just never give in. I'm tired of this. I know that this is my fault. It's my fault that we are not close like we were before. If i would've defended you-
Felicia: it's not your fault. Don't ever talk to me about that. It is in the past.
James: there's no use in talking to you.
(James got up from the sofa and went to his room)
Back to present
James's room
(James kept thinking about it and slept. Next morning he woke up. He got ready and was coming downstairs when he heard William's laugh. His face immediately lit up and he ran to him and hugged him, more like just jumped on him. William hugged him back. They broke the hug and sat on the chairs next to eachother)
James: you came as you promised. I'm so happy. I literally got so much energy just by watching you here. Bestie~ you don't know how happy i am today. Our team is gonna win. I can smell the success of our team.
(He made a gesture like he can actually smell it which made William laugh)
William: eating breakfast with a basketball champion is my honour.
James: i'm so happy.
(They ate the food and got out of James's house. On their way to the uni, they saw a group of girls ganging up on another girl. She was looking down and they were saying shameful things to her. She looked around their age too. She just hung her head low. William and James went to the girls)
William: excuse me.
(The girl looked back at them and William widened his eyes. He was shocked. It was the girl who claimed to be his friend and then just betrayed him with his boyfriend. Jillian Arden)
Jillian: hey William~
(She smiled at him and was about to hug him but he stepped away. James kind of understood who she was and joined the convo she was about to start and end it before it even begins. When William stepped away, her smile dropped. But then she smiled even more like an idiot.)
James: leave the girl.
Jillian: what is your problem huh? Who is she to you--
(She was about to say something when William said)
William: she's my sister.
Jillian: what? Emma is your sister?
James: what is your problem even if she is?
(This time James taunted her saying the same sentence as hers making her go silent. Then William went forward and took Emma's hand in his. She looked at him, clueless. Then he squeezed her hand a little to assure her that everything's fine)
