Author's note: So I adore this couple and I really wanted to write a story for them. I was inspired by watching Dallas I kind of thought that Julie Gonzalo looked like an older Katie. This chapter is in James's point of view.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot.

"James hurry up" Kendall called after me. I finished buttoning my shirt and raced down the stairs of the mansion I shared with Kendall. I wouldn't be sharing it for long though. Kendall was a few months away from marrying his longtime girlfriend Jo. I didn't want to admit it but I was really going to miss him I haven't lived on my own for years.

"Let's go" I said and slid into the passenger seat of Kendall's Porsche. We were on our way to have dinner with Katie and her husband. We hadn't seen Katie since Logan's wedding to Camille. That had been about four months ago. It was still weird not having Katie around all the time.

Even after the boys and I moved from 2-j we still saw here all the time because she would spend the weekends with us. After she finished high school Gustavo had offered her a job at Roque records so we saw here even more. Everything changed though when she met Ethan. They met at a party hosted by Russel Brand who Katie was still the manager of. Ever since Ethan she began to change.

At first it was subtle things like she would cancel all the time on us something she never did before in all the 22 years we'd known her. Then she wouldn't call as often anymore and she would only ever talked to us if she saw us at work. They moved in a year after they were together and she had invited us to come and celebrate. Carlos and I arrived at the party before the others and we were greeted by Katie and Ethan.

"Hey guys" Katie had said racing over to hug Carlos.

"Kate" Ethan said before Katie reached Carlos "do you mind holding this?" he asked before handing her a huge bowl prohibiting her from hugging either one of us.

Needless to say Ethan was not my favorite person after that day. First of all he called Katie ,Kate which even though it was more appropriate for her age ,was something everyone including Katie had agreed on when she was born. It didn't matter to us she would always be Katie no matter what her boyfriend said. What really annoyed me was that it marked the tradition of never getting to hug Katie. Every time we saw here we would have to sneak in a hug it was so frustrating but if he made her happy we had to suck it up.

I remember when she called us a year after that and invited us to her wedding. I hated Kendall for making me go because I really didn't want to see Katie being given away to a jerk like that. Buddha Bob or Bob as he preferred to go by now had given her away that day. He had started dating Mama Knight when Katie was 14 and he had played became an amazing father figure for her. As much as I had loathed going to that wedding it was nice to get to see Katie so happy and walking down the aisle to her soon to be husband.

At the reception, Carlos and Lucy (who he had dated after she returned from her tour after her break up with Kendall), sat with me and although a part of us knew we were going to lose Katie even more we had accepted it at that point. Six months after her wedding Ethan made Katie quit her job at Roque records and we saw even less of her. Logan's wedding was the first time we'd seen her in almost 5 months. Two months ago Katie had called to tell us that she and Ethan were expecting their first child. I guess it goes without saying that we all feigned happiness for her.

We arrived at her and Ethan's house. In all honesty the house seemed more like his house. Ethan was a manager like Katie and he had loads of money that he loved to show off. He had a garage full of classic cars that were worth more than BTR's career. He never hesitated in wasting or flashing his money around all the time even though it was obvious even Katie found it horrible.

I turned to look out the window and hoped that by some miracle Katie finally left Ethan. She really deserved better than some douche that spends more time looking at himself in the mirror than at his beautiful wife that's right in front of him. I hated thinking like this but it irritated me so much to imagine how dull Katie's life must be. She was always such a free spirit it didn't seem far for her to be all caged up. Well one day she'll be free I thought as we approached Katie's house.

We parked the car and notice that the front door of the house was wide open. I shared a nervous glance with Kendall and he signaled for me to go inside and check to see if Katie was fine while he went around the house to see if anything was wrong. I ran inside preparing myself for the worst possible scenario. I pictured images of Katie butchered on the floor bleeding out. Pretty much every bad idea came to my head and I almost cried in relief when I found Katie curled in the kitchen sitting on a stool crying but thankfully all in one piece and blood free.

I approached her with caution and placed my hands gently on her shoulder in an attempt to comfort her. She flinched at first from the surprised but when she saw my face she smiled sadly and pulled me into a tight needy hug. I held her what seemed like hours until she finally sat up and wiped her big brown eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked her while holding her hand tightly.

"He left" she said sadly and a little angry he "Ethan left me forever"

So there's chapter one I really hoped you guys liked it so please review and thanks for reading.
