Allison's POV:

"Mel..." I started, showing her the text from James.

"Oh my god. Ignore him."

"Mel...I can't." I replied

Melanie sighed, "Okay then. Go." she replied

"What am I supposed to tell the guys?" I said

"I'll only do this because you're my friend and I love you. I'll tell them you're not feeling well and are going to take my car and go to my house. I'll explain that you want some alone time and that you want to stay the night with me. But you're going to have to tell Max you want some time alone and that he should stay here with Sid. But hear me out, don't do anything stupid, okay? He's not all there right now and I don't trust him at all."

I nodded, hugging her, "I'll be fine, Mel. Thanks." I wiped my eyes and snuck out of Sid's, texting Max before getting in Mel's car and driving to the hotel...

I got to the Mariott and went up to the room James gave me and knocked on the door. After a few minutes, he answered and I stepped inside. Before either of us could even speak, our lips collided together into a passionate kiss. "I've missed you, James." I said onto his soft lips.

"I've missed you too..." he replied holding me close. I held onto him tightly, not ever wanting to let him go again. "I'm so sorry." he added

"Shh...don't apologize, James." I said. He looked into my eyes and I didn't know what came over me, I pulled him into my arms and kissed him again. I wanted him, badly. All of the feelings I had for him came flooding back to me and I lost all sense of control. I pulled his hoodie off, kissing him again.

"Allison...we should stop." he said, pulling away from me

I shook my head, "I don't want to, James. Leaving you was the biggest mistake of my life and I just want to feel you again...be with you again. I've wanted you since that night at the arena."

Without saying a word, he pulled me into a kiss. With one quick motion, he pullled my shirt off and kissed my neck. I moaned softly as his hands made their way to my breasts and he stroked my nipples. "I've wanted you too." he confessed

I pulled him down on the bed and kissed him again, as I reached for his pants. He stopped me and I looked at him. "What's wrong?"

"I...I can't...I can't do this." he stammered

"What do you mean?" I asked

"Allison, I'm just really confused on this whole situation and I just...I don't know what I'm feeling right now. I don't know if I truly want you or if I just want what we used to have...I just don't know." he stammered

I blinked at him, "Then why'd you text me? Did you just think we could just have sex and it be nothing?"

He looked away, "I...I...I don't know...I'm sorry."

"I shouldn't have came here..." I said getting up and heading towards the door...

James' POV:

Allison started to walk away, I knew if I didn't say anything now, I'd probably never get to speak to her again. "Allison...don't go, please! I just...it's hard to explain! You can't just expect me to leave Jen and get back with you...I mean...could you do that to Max?"

"Yeah, James. I actually could. Because ever since that day at the arena, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you. I think about you when I'm with him...and I hate it, James. I hate it because I know you feel the same way, but that fucking bitch has you on a leash!"

"Don't say that..." I stammered, feeling a lump rise in my throat

"No, James. I am going to say that. You think that if you had a son with her that she'd still even be here?!" she yelled. My mouth dropped. I couldn't believe she had just said that to me. "James, I'm sorry...I didn't mean..."

"Just go, Allison." I said not even looking at her

Allison stood up and shook her head, "Whatever James."

"Are you seriously getting mad at me right now?" I said before she got out of the room

"Yeah, James, I am. Because you can't fucking decide what you want! You want me, you want her...you love me, you love her...I don't get it. I think the truth is, you know who you really want to be with and it's her, but you don't want to admit it to yourself or to me, because you want to have this hold over me!" she yelled

"What? That's riduculous!" I yelled

"Is it?"

"Engo was right about you..." I said, shaking my head

"What do you mean?!" she yelled

"I mean that he was right when he said you were crazy! All of them were right when they said I should just forget you!"

Allison shook her head and I could see tears forming in her eyes, "You know what, James Neal, I was wrong about you. I was wrong about all of it. You're a fucking asshole, who cares about no one but himself and one day, Jennifer is going to realize that same thing and is going to leave you. Then when you're all alone, you'll remember this day and you'll be sorry." she snapped before leaving...
