Hello everybody! This is one of the requested one-shots that I'm doing. But this particular one is extended and is dedicated to AkireAlev who requested it. I hope you enjoy!

James P.O.V.

"James! Where are you dude?" I heard Kendall ask from the living room.

"In here!" I responded, knowing that he would know to come to our shared room.

It didn't take long for him to make his way into our room.

"Hey do you… What are all dressed up for?" He asked, noticing my semi-casual attire that I had on.

"I'm going out with Emma tonight remember?"

I couldn't help but smile at the thought of her. I knew that the guys where kind of thrown for a loop when they found out that I had actually settled down with someone. Especially given my… not so great past with relationships. Emma and I have been together for half of a year now, and I could truly say that I could see myself spending the rest of my life with her.

She had moved into the Palm Woods back in June. As it turned out, she was a singer and a musician that had gotten signed to a major record label. But since she wasn't exactly famous, she was placed at the Palm Woods. Gustavo wanted one of us to go out with her to get publicity for both the band and her, since she was just starting out in the business. And of course he ended up choosing me since Kendall had Jo, Logan had Camille, and Carlos… wasn't exactly the best person for the job.

Emma and I had gone to a few red carpet premieres together and over time, we ended up really falling for each other.

"Oh yeah. I forgot all about that. Well I hope you have fun man." Kendall said before turning to leave.

"Hey Kendall, wasn't there something that you wanted to ask me?" I asked, remembering how he trailed off after seeing what I had on.

"Oh! I was going to ask if you've seen Logan and Carlos because I wanted to see if you wanted to have a guy's night. I've been doing some thinking and realized that we barely hang out anymore." He said in a small voice.

I felt a pang of guilt in my chest at the blonde's words. It was true. We've all just been doing our own thing lately. I can't even remember the last real conversation that I've had with the guys.

"Well Logan went to the movies with Camille and Carlos basically begged them to take him with them. And you know that really nobody can deny Carlos. But if you want, I can reschedule my date tonight and we can hang out." I offered, genuinely wanting to spend time with one of my best friends.

"No. James this is the first relationship you've been in that's lasted more than three months. Anyone with eyes can tell that you and Emma are meant for each other. And I don't want to get in the way of that. Besides, we can just wait until tomorrow and all four of us can hang out." He said, sounding proud of the solution that he had just come up with.

I had to admit that it felt good that Kendall was so supportive of my relationship with Emma, but I still didn't want him to feel like I was ditching him for her.

"Alright. But I'm only going out to hang out with her for about an hour. Then you and I are going to have a guy's night!" I said in a stern tone, making sure that he knew that my decision was final. I didn't miss the smile that crept onto his face at my words.

"Okay." He said before pulling me into a tight hug. "Thanks Jay." He whispered before letting me go.

"No problem Ken. Do you mind setting everything up while I'm gone?"

"Sure thing. Now go. Don't want you to be late do we?" He said, pushing me out the door in the process.

"Have fun!" He yelled, closing the door before I got the chance to reply.

I let out a chuckle at the blonde before heading down to the lobby where I was supposed to meet Emma in about five minutes.

XxX

30 minutes. That's how long I've been sitting in the lobby waiting for Emma. I had called her and texted her numerous times to see if something was wrong but she never replied. I wanted to go up to her apartment and check but I was afraid that I would miss her if I left.

After another fifteen minutes had passed, I decided to get something to drink before going up to her apartment. As I made my way to the vending machine, I noticed a head of brunette hair that looked strangely familiar out at the pool. I walked towards the brunette and I felt myself freeze at the sight.

Because there was Emma, in a full on make out session with none other than Jett.

Now I was never one to cry. I've only cried once in my life, and that was when my parents had gotten a divorce. But right now, I couldn't stop the tears that were now burning at my eyes.

I turned around and starting heading back towards the elevator when I suddenly heard someone call my name.

"James!" I immediately froze at the sound of her voice.

"What?" I asked, trying my best not to show how hurt I was.

"I promise, it's not what it looks like."

As soon as the words left her mouth, I felt my sadness replaced with anger.

"Oh, so you weren't just making out with Jett? Jett of all people?!" I yelled, growing even more angry by the second. She knew how much the guys and I hated Jett. That's when the reality of the situation finally hit me. She had just cheated on me.

"James please, if you'd just let me explain-"

"I'm sorry Emma. I just… I can't do this right now." I said, my voice breaking towards the end. I turned around and ran straight for the elevators, just wanting to be alone.

As soon as I walked into the apartment, I started heading straight for my shared room.

"James? Is that you? I thought you would be gone for an hour? She didn't stand you up did she? I swear if she did I'll-"

I decided to ignore Kendall's barrage of questions for now. I didn't even bother to look and see where he was. But as soon as I got to the room, I locked the door and made my way to my bed. I didn't even bother trying to hold back the tears anymore. I ignored the worried calls that were coming from the other side of the door, not really feeling up to talking right now. Eventually, I just cried myself to sleep.

Kendall P.O.V.

To say that I was confused would be an understatement. It had been about two hours since James had gotten back. I wasn't sure exactly what happened, but seeing as he was so happy when he left it was safe to assume that it had something to do with Emma.

I had already put everything away, knowing that James probably wouldn't be up to having a guy's night given what happened. I decided to try one more time to see if I could find out what was bothering my best friend.

"James?" I called as I lightly knocked on the door, but got no response. I decided to take a chance and see if the door was unlocked which, to my surprise, it was.

As soon as I saw the brunette, my heart immediately stopped.

His eyes, that usually held so much emotion and light, were now dull and lifeless. Usually I was able to tell what he was feeling or thinking, but now, it was like he was a robot. A shell of his former self.

"Jay?"

No response.

"Come on Jay. You gotta talk to me man. What's wrong?" I asked.

Still nothing.

I felt myself become even more nervous with each passing second. He wasn't showing any emotion at all.

"Please…"I pleaded, wanting to know what was wrong so that I could try and help. But I wasn't expecting the next three words that left his mouth.

"She cheated on me."

While I was thinking that something along those lines had happened, I honestly didn't want to believe it.

"James…" I started, but was cut off.

"She cheated on me. With Jett of all people! I mean, is there something wrong with me? Oh my god… it's me! I wasn't good enough for her!"

I couldn't help but look in shock at the brunette. James was one the most confident people I knew and here was he was blaming himself.

"Jay, I can assure you right now that there is nothing wrong with you!" I said in a stern voice, angry at him for even thinking that.

"But obviously it was something I did! Otherwise she wouldn't have cheated!"

"Are you listening to yourself James?! What happened to the confident James that didn't let what others say or think affect him?" I asked, wanting him to realize how ridiculous he was being.

"Just… forget it Kendall." He said in a broken tone, leaving the room in the process.

"Where are you going?" I asked as I noticed him getting his phone and jacket.

"Out." That was all he said before walking out the door and slamming it in the process.

I wanted nothing more than to go after him, but I knew that he probably needed a little time to himself. I also knew that I was going to do whatever it took to get the old James back.

Okay, I know I said that I would be doing one-shots but I had this idea and decided to split it up. There will probably be only one or two more chapters to this though. So I know that it wasn't great, but what do you all think so far? Please let me know! And I hope AkireAlev is enjoying it especially! I'll try to update as soon as I can. And if anyone has a one-shot to request, I'm still accepting them! Happy holidays everyone!
