Alexie's POV.
"Here's you hot water bottle you wanted Lexi" James' mum sweetly said as she handed it to me.
"Thank you" I beamed back.
"There's everything you need in the bottom bathroom cabinet" she smiled as she kissed my cheek before leaving his room.
"I don't want you to go James" I pouted as I was sat on his bed. He was folding his clothes into a suitcase.
"I don't want to either, but I'm part of a band now and I have to follow my dreams" he replied.
"I know, just promise that you won't miss me" I winked.
"I won't miss you too much" he joked. I just can't believe my best friend is leaving me.
"I'll vote for you every week" I smiled.
"Good" he beamed as he positioned himself next to me and wrapped his arms around me.
"I'm still coming to your birthday, I wouldn't miss it for the world!" I piped up.
"God, the big 18" he sighed.
"Yeah, oldie" I poked my tongue out. James began to tickle my sides.
"Gra-Grahammmm!" I laughed, barely able to get my words out.
He continued to tickle me.
"James, I'll kick you in the face" I snapped.
"Oh there's my best friend Lexi, I was waiting for you to threaten me" he smirked.
"I hate you" I replied.
"Love you too" James smiled back. If only he meant those words.
"Finish packing, or else you will be late" I pointed over to his shelf, his favourite photographs were still unpacked.
"Yes mum" he saluted.
"Wait, what's that?" I questioned, pointing to a square present on his bedside table.
"That's for you" he smiled, handing it over.
"I can open it right?" I asked.
"Maybe" he teased. I pouted and he gave in.
I flipped the present over. "Your mum wrapped this didn't she?" I laughed and he nodded.
I began pulling at the tape that was holding the pretty paper together. I pulled out the box and lifted the lid.
My hand flew over my mouth. "James, you didn't have to" I smiled, admiring all the objects he'd collected.
"I didn't want you to forget me, your my best friend Lex, and I don't want to loose you in the process" he said, slightly tearing up.
"Oh you idiot, I wouldn't forget you, not in a million years. Your my best friend and have been for 4 years. I'll be at every show if I can and I will text you a million times a day" I said, tearing up too.
"You'll meet some of the guys girlfriends too" James added.
"I'm not your girlfriend tho" I replied.
"Your pretty much my biggest female fan, apart from my mum. I want you to meet the lads and be happy around them" he explained.
"Makes sense" I laughed.
"Hey, you remembered this?" I asked him, picking up a photograph of when we met.
"Yeah, bowling and I beat you" he beamed confidently.
"Naa Graham, I won" I stuck my tongue out. I scanned my fingers over the photograph. I've fallen head over heels in love with him since that day. Except, the longer I thought I liked him, the more I questioned being with him. I was more than happy being his best friend.
"You'll meet Jess, she's proper nice" he added.
"And she is?" I questioned.
"Barclays girlfriend. You two will get on like a house on fire" he replied, placing the last of his shirts into his suitcase.
"Are there any more?" I curiously asked. I didn't want to be surprised.
"Yeah, and Tom's girlfriend had the baby last month" James smiled as he reached for his phone.
"What did he have?" I asked. I loved babies, but no babies for me. Not until I'm a proper journalist.
"A little boy, his names Bradley" James smiled as he handed me his phone. I cooed over the photograph.
"I remember her, we were talking when we found our you were put in a band after the arena round. Her name was Chelsea?" I recalled.
"Yeah, I have a good memory" I joked.
"James, throw me my bag" I called as I pointed on his desk. "I may have something for you" I joked.
I reached in my bag and pulled out his present.
"Thanks Lex" he beamed as he began ripping the paper off.
First of all, he pulled out a white Tshirt. He turned it around and laughed.
"James Graham's best friend" he read aloud with a photo of me on the front.
"I love it" he beamed.
"Yeah just marking my territory, your my best friend and don't forget it" I laughed.
He then pulled out a photograph of James and I.
"It's your 16th birthday" he recalled. I nodded. "This was just before you fell in the pond" he chuckled at the thought.
"Yeah, next one now James" I called as he pulled out the last present.
"It's beautiful, thanks Alexie" he smiled as he pulled on a friendship bracelet. I showed him my wrist.
"Now we have the same" I beamed.
"James, we got to go now sweetheart" his mum called up the stairs.
"Ready?" I asked.
"Born Ready" he replied with shakey words.
I pulled on his hoodie which was hanging off the back of the door and pulled it over my head.
"I'm keeping this by the way" I joked.
"If you want, it looks better on you than it does me" he smiled. I helped him downstairs and watched him pile his belongings into his car.
He said goodbye to his family and neighbours and then it came to me.
He threw his arms around my neck and pulled me into him.
"I'm gonna miss you Lex" he frowned.
"I'm gonna miss you too dickhead" I joked. I didn't want to cry and humour was the only cover up.
He kissed my forehead before getting into his car.
His mum came over and hugged me. We watched him drive off into the distance.
That was the hardest goodbye.
A/N - the dates for the story link up with The X Factor dates which is what I wanted to achieve as James is part of Stereo Kicks. (I made them move in a little bit before they might have done so they can get settled and start Rehersals. I made it 29th because that's a Monday too. The information thing at the top is half written by being told and half from this website; http://m.kidshealth.org/parent/pregnancy_calendar/pregnancy_calendar_intro.html. The 29th September was my first day of my period, so this factors into the dates as well :)
