Last time, James finally told his issues he has been dealing with. Charles comforts him in the clubroom. Amaryllis watches as everything happened.

After, Charles helped him get everything together for the paper.
Amaryllis turned around and left the school.

On the way home, it rained.

Luckily, she had an umbrella.

She is enraged.

I see you walked in on their moment, Amaryllis? I asked.

Why is this happening to me? Amaryllis asked.

James looked around the corner.

What is wrong? Charles asked. I thought I heard someone in the hallway. James replied. Why would you assume that? Charles asked. It is just a feeling. James replied. They walked outside, and it was raining. Why did it have to rain? Charles asked. How about I drive you home, Amber? James replied.

When James said that, I couldn't tell him no.

It was walking home in rain or in a comfortable car? Charles thought.

Sure, you can drive me home. Charles replied. I will go to my car and drive it up to the door. James replied.

I texted Charles.

Me: So are you at the school with James?
Charles: Yes why?
Me: It's raining. Have James take you home.
Charles: I have no choice. He was automatically going to do it.
Me: That is so sweet.
Charles: I'll talk to you when I get home.

James pulled up to me in his car.
He smiled.
I got into his car.
We drove off.
When Charles got home, James put his car in park and opened the car door for her.
Thanks for driving me home, James. Charles replied. It's fine. James replied. Since we are here, tell me what you want me to make? Charles asked. It almost slipped my mind. James replied. How about Bananas Fosters French Toast. Charles replied. I've never had Banana Fosters French Toast. James replied. It's really good. My Aunt Xanthe lives in New Orleans is and a chef. She taught me how to cook. Charles replied. What ingredients do you need? James asked. Well the normal for French Toast. The Banana Fosters is a different story. I am not familiar with cooking with Rum. Charles replied. Rum? James replied.
I was watching him so excited about something.
Oh I can stea-buy some. James replied. What did you just say? Charles asked. He walked Charles to the door.
James drove off.
On his way home, he slipped into his father's place and stole a bottle of Rum.
He went home.
His mother looked at him.
James is that your father's Rum? Siân asked.
James looked to the side.
He said he saw you come in and steal it on the surveillance cameras. Siân replied. When did he add that? James asked. What is your reason, I am all ears. Siân replied. My friend needs it to cook with it. James replied. Why didn't you just say that? Awe asked.
James' father appeared from behind the wall.
I'm not angry, I just need you be more honest with me. Agwe replied. I've told you before, James is a honest person. He doesn't like to trouble people. Siân replied. So who is your friend? Agwe asked. I'm not telling you. James replied.
Im taking a shower. James replied.
Mom are you cooking dinner tonight or me? James replied. You can cook if you desire. Siân replied. You look tired from that 13 hour shift. James replied. I can cook. Siân replied.
James looked at his mom.
Your eyes are drifting, I will make dinner. James replied.
Agwe is surprised.
James takes a shower.
He has a job, being a straight A student and coming home to make dinner for himself.
That is our son.
He has been independent like this since he was young. Siân replied.
The rain won't let up. Agwe replied.
You might have to stay the night. Siân replied. I might have to. Agwe replied.
James walked in the living room.
Is my dad staying the night? James asked.
Yes, be on your best behavior, James. Siân replied. Yes mom. James replied.
Stay Tuned.
