After around an hour of dave sleeping , it was time to break the news to him, although you weren't happy with there decision to kick dave out with not even a warning, you knew it wasn't you're band nor you're decision.

"Okay, no were doing this now" you grabbed cliff and lars's arms and dragged them as james quickly followed behind.

You stood next to dave as he was sleeping "go" you said ponting to dave.

"Dibs not" lars giggled "LARS" you growled "be serious" you scolded him.

"Dave"james poked Dave's arm ruffly "dave wake up man" lars groaned shaking his shoulder "what" dave groaned rubbing his eyes "you're out of the band mate" james half smiled, it wasnt a happy smile it was more of a sad and sorry smile.

"What?" Dave mumbled in confusion.

"You're out" lars followed patting him on the shoulder.

"No, no why?" Dave quickly sat up and moved his hair out of his face "you're not taking this seriously dave, you're always late always drunk" lars said standing up from a croutching position "y/n you can't let them do this" he cried his voice echoing throughout the silent room.

"I-" you went to speak nothing came out.

You had nothing to say "i, i dont choose they choose but dave.. if they say you're out i guess you're out" you hugged his side as he just stared at james.

"You're an asshole james, how am i going to pay rent?" He stood up to be face to face with james.

"Look man im sorry but you're out.." he shook his head, "it wasn't just me it was a group decision " he sighed.

Next thing you knew it dave threw a punch on james's face and started to tackle him down "STOP" you yelled rushing over to drag dave of james.

You grabbed daves shoulder and yanked it a little "STOP IT DAVE" dave then turned around and pushed you to the floor and started going crazy on his punches, he was punching you in the face and the shoulder, everywhere you didnt have time to block.

"GET OFF HER YOU PRICK" james yelled grabbing him really hard by the shoulder, "SHE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, DONT TOUCH HER" james screamed in daves face which caused him to snap out of his rant.

James tossed dave on the floor like he was nothing and quickly helped you up and dragged everyone out of the house.

James at this point was pissed "give me the keys" james turned to cliff quickly "james, no you're angry, im driving"cliff said showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Give them" james held his hand out "no now get in the back" cliff whined "ill just wlk then" james added with a pissed off voice as he quickly wandered down the drive way and walked away "its a 2 hour walk you nutsack" lars shouted.

James didnt bother responding "oh well whatever" lars said hopping in the truck "no not whatever, im going after him you guys go" you kissed cliff on the cheek "okay be careful y/n" cliff added "go find that nut sack y/n" lars laughed and shut the truck door.

You quickly walked down the driveway and saw james sitting next to a mailbox.

"James?, What are you doing" you spoke softly not to scare him but he still jumped.

"Nothing, go y/n" he spoke softly and made himself sound like hes okay.

"I can't they already drove away, and even if you want me to leave im not, you mean so much to me that im not gonna let you roam around the streets alone" you sat down next to him "are you okay?, He punched you pretty hard" he scooched over and moved the hair out of you're face

"Dont change the subject james"you sighed wrapping youre arm around his shoulder and resting you're head on his.

"Well" he paused wondering if he should continue, you quickly nodded as a response for keep going.

"Mum died when i was 16... dad left when i was 13... Maybe im the proably, if i didnt kick dave out you wouldnt of got hurt and im" he quickly got cut off "no that wasn't you're fault james...you dad was an asshole its better he isnt here and i know you miss you're mum but she's in a better place " you wrapped him in a big hug.

"I am the problem" he started crying "no james, no you're not, you make me and the rest of the band happy, god damnnit, you make thousands of people happy with the music you make" you chuckled.

"So dont think for one second you are the problem, you're going to be the biggest heavy metal band in world" you laughed.

"No we're not " he slightly laughed "i bet you thousand dollars you will, people dig you guys" you happily smiled "bet" james laughed through his sniffles.

As james gazed up at you, you felt butterflies, he was so pretty, he was so perfect.

Without another word james leaned in and kissed you, you were stunned this had just happend, you body was full of excitement and energy, obviously you kissed him back, he was so soft and gentle, but also passionate.

He quickly pulled away with the realisation of what he had done.."shit y/n im sorry i shouldnt of done that" his eyes widened as he quickly stood up and tried to walk away.

"Don't walk away.." you grabbed his hand "im sor-" he apolagized but quickly gor cut off you kissed him this time.

You pulled away and he was left with the most shocked face in the world "i like you y/n.." he managed to blurt out "i like you too james.." you smiled and brought him into a big hug.

You and james then walked home, you were so glad james confessed you were going crazy for this man.

You were walking home but it was really talkative and open, it wasnt awkward and shy.

This had been the happiest you had been in a while.
