Kendall's POV
It was a gorgeous afternoon here in LA, where Katie, Carlos, and I were all watching New Town High, Jo's old show. She's in New Zealand now. I try to be tough, but even though I'm back to acting like Kendall, my heart still has a big bruise on it, and I don't think it will ever go away.
Anyways, watching New Town High reminds me of Jo without depressing me, so it's okay. The show went to commercial break, and after an ad for frozen dinners, a preview came on. For Chauncy Jackson. And there was my Jo, sitting right in the front of the screen. Immediately, I felt a sharp pain in my heart, that kind that feels like someone strumming inside of you, and more than anything, I just wanted to reach out and touch her cheek like I used to do.
Apparently I was getting a little to caught up in that, because I felt my hand smack the cold glass screen of the TV, waking me from my daze abruptly. I found Katie and Carlos laughing at me loudly. Upon hearing that, I got my phone and sulked into my room. I opened it up, and saw Jo's name written on speed dial, making my heart ache again. I pressed her name, and the phone started ringing. Then I heard a voice. A voice that meant more to me than anything.
"Hello?"
"Jo?"
"Kendall!" Just from hearing her voice, I could tell she was thinking the same thing as me.
"Hey, I was just watching TV, the Chauncy Jackson came on, and I thought that it called for a congratulations!"
"Thanks! How are you doing?"
"Except for missing you terribly, I'm doing alright. How about you?"
"Not to bad. Thinking about you a bunch."
"Ditto. Do I hear a bunch of people over there?"
"Oh yeah, I'm just in, town. What are you doing?"
"Not much, why did you hesitate?"
"Oh, they call town something else here in New Zealand. Had to remember my American." You could hear a grin in Jo's voice. "Well, I'm at my store, I'd better go. Talk to you soon!"
"Okay, goodbye kiss?" They both kissed their phone, and hung up. Little did Kendall know that he was being lied to.
