Chapter one.

"Kendall!" Mama Knights yelled from down-stairs.

I sighed as I made my way down-stairs. That's the one thing I can't stand, yelling. I distinctively remember when I was 10 years old my parents screaming and yelling at each other all the time, they were always fighting. I hated those times, those times I felt alone. Even though I had Katie with me, it wasn't the same. Katie was only 6 at the time and I was to concerned with comforting my baby sister that I didn't even acknowledged my own feelings towards it, other than feeling alone the whole time. We don't talk about my father, that's a subject you just don't touch nor think about.

"Yeah mom?" I said as I reached the last step of apartment 2J.

"I need you to watch Katie tonight, I have a business meeting tonight at 6 and Katie needs someone to watch her."

"Mom I have plans tonight. The boys and I were planning on going to a movie." I said with a sigh.

I hated when my mom would do this, make me cancel my plans so she wouldn't inconvenience any way. It was rather frustrating. That constant place to be the man of the house really upsets me, my dad was out fucking a different hoe every night while I was helping pay the bills and taking care of my mom and baby sister.

"Kendall honey, I'm sorry but you need to watch your sister. I will make it up to you I promise! Please do this for mommy?" Mom said giving me those puppy eyes, I hate making my mom upset.

I sighed. "Fine, but you better make this one up to me mom"

"I will sweetheart, thank you." Mom smiled fondly at me as she ran up the stairs to do whatever she was going to do.

I looked at the time, 2:15. I smiled at myself, I had 4 hours before having to baby-sit my baby sister. I decided I would go down to the pool for a little while, to let off some steam. I darted up the stairs to my shared room with James and opened the door. The sight I saw before me was breathtaking, James had his glasses on with his head buried in a book, smiling now and then. See, I have a tiny crush on James, but can you blame me? That surfer boy is like a god.

"Hey, whatcha reading?" I asked going over to my dresser to grab my swimming trunks and sandals.

"Hey," James said smiling, looking up from his book. "Um, its called "Modeling Is An Art" it's about a guy who pursues modeling and how he made it big." He smiles big, obviously excited about the book and topic

I chuckled at him "Sounds like your kind of book."

James faked laughed. "Very funny Knight."

"Why thank you Diamond." I laughed "Oh hey, I'm going down to the pool, wanna come?"

James smiled "Sure. I'll meet you there."

I nodded before heading out of our shared room and down stairs to the lobby. When I arrived at the Palm Woods famous pool, I noticed Carlos and Logan fighting over a popsicle. I chuckled as I walked over there.

"But Logie, I asked for the red one first! It's mine!" Carlos said in his childish tone.

"Carlos, stop. I told you I wanted the red one when I was upstairs! You're the one who decided you wanted the red one when we got here! So….It's mine!" Logan yelled and grabbed the popsicle from Carlos.

I laughed once again as a brilliant plan ran through my head, I smirked as I walked over to Logan who was holding the red popsicle they were fighting over, I grabbed the popsicle and started licking it.

"Now neither of you get it, it's mine." I winked as I walked away. I heard them yelling at me but I kept walking as I laughed. I sat in the pool chair that I previously laid my towel and my other belongings on. I was licking the popsicle when I saw James enter the pool area. I weaved him over and he smiled and walked over.

"I see you already got a popsicle" He said taking a seat next to my pool chair.

"Nah, I took this from Carlos and Logan cause they were fighting over who got it." I laughed

James laughed "Sounds like them."

"For sure. By the way, I can't go with you guys to the movies tonight, mom asked me to watch Katie." I pouted at the thought of having to skip out on having more time hanging with James.

"Man, that sucks ass."

"Your telling me. I can't tell you the last time we had enough free time from recording with Gustavo to actually go to a movie." I stated.

James scoffed "I know right? Gustavo and his over working us."

I chuckled "And those bug-eyed sunglasses, I wanna brake those so bad. I have dreams about breaking them." I said seriously.

He laughed. "Wow. That's a bit extreme but I agree. I hate those glasses and the constant yelling."

"Oh gosh, don't get me started on the yelling. How does that man still have a voice after all the screaming he does in one day?" I asked dumfounded. Really. That's a mystery I can't seem to solve.

"I don't know dude, I just don't know." He said just as confused as me.

James and I sat there in silence for a good 40 minutes, just enjoying the silence. I was getting hot so I decided to go in the water.

"I'm gonna go in the water, wanna come in?" I asked .

"Nah, I rather sit here and watch you." He winked …Wait….. He winked…Was that a flirt? Did James Diamond just flirt with me?

I blushed and took my shirt off and jumped in the pool. I was enjoying the cool water. I was in the pool probably about an hour and a half just swimming around.

"Hey James, what time is it?" I hollered at him.

"5:50" He said. SHIT! I have to watch Katie in 10 minutes. I quickly jumped out of the pool. "Wooah, what's the rush?" He asked.

"Remember how I said I have to watch Katie?"

"Yeah…?"

"Well, my mom has to leave at 6 and that's when I have to watch her." I said throwing my shirt and sandals on.

"Oh.." He said like he understood.

"Yeah, anyways, have fun with the guys tonight, I'm gonna go. See ya." I nodded as a goodbye and walked up the stairs to 2J

"Oh snap, I'm gonna smoke you big brother!" Katie said as she passed me up with her race car. I was currently sitting in apartment 2J playing "Need For Speed."

"Na uh baby sister!" I said as I passed her up again and won the race. "BOOO YAAAA!" I yelled in her face, she laughed.

"Whatever big brother. Next time I'll win! Anyways, I'm tired so I'm gonna go to bed. Nighty night."

"Night!" I smiled and shut the game off. I looked at the clock and it said 11:30, wow. It was later than I thought. I went up to my shared room and took off my jeans leaving just my t-shirt and boxers on. I walked down the stairs and turned the TV on and put some movie on. I don't even know the name of it. I heard the door jingle and I knew it was either my mom or the guys.

I looked up at hearing the door open, sure enough it was my mom and the boys.

"Hello Kendall." My mom smiled at me.

"Hey mom." I smiled back

"I'm beat so I'm heading to bed but thanks for watching Katie. You're the greatest son ever." She walked over to me and kissed me on the cheek. I blushed, my crush which is James, was watching. "Night boys." We simultaneously said goodnight.

"Carlos and I are beat, were heading to bed too." Logan said and Carlos yawned and nodded in agreement.

"Goodnight" Carlos said and they both walked up the stairs.

"Night guys." I said smiling and turning my attention back to the movie I was watching before they came. I than felt a figure sit next to me.

"What movie you watching?" James asked smiling at me, God, that boy and smiling.

"I don't even know, I just picked a random movie." I laughed.

He laughed too. "Sounds Interesting."

"Actually, it is." I chuckled.

"We'll that's good."

"It is " At that moment, our eyes locked. I saw a sparkle in James' eyes, he moved a strand of hair out of my face but we just stared at each other both of us looking confused as ever.

Logan and Carlos were spying on the brunette boy and the blonde.

Carlos sighed. "Logan, do you think our plan is working?"

"I don't know Carlitos, I don't know." Logan said defeated.
