BTR- Big Time Heartbreak
"Uh, Kendall, have you noticed that James has been acting…uh…strange?" Carlos asked, watching James run around the lobby, actually helping people.
"No. Uh, sorry, on the phone." Jo. Kendall was always busy with her. Then Logan came over.
"Hey guys. Gustavo wants y…and what is up with James?" Logan pointed, even though it appeared her hadn't even looked in James' direction, and now the pretty-boy was helping a little girl with her…homework?
"That's exactly what I've been trying to tell Kendall!" Carlos exclaimed, and used his arm movements to emphasize.
James suddenly strutted over; so airy and happy.
"Ah. Life is so great!" James sighed.
Kendall's eyes widened and he was speechless. He said bye to Jo and his arm came down slowly, he in shock of James' behavior too.
"James…are you feeling alright?" he asked, worried now.
"Alright? It's much more than that! I'm elated!" Did he even know what that meant? "I'm in love!"
"LOVE!" the others cried out in disbelief.
…...
"Yeah…uh, James you are officially cr…" Carlos started but Kendall covered his mouth and smiled nervously.
"So…who is it?" Kendall asked.
"Oh, you haven't met her. She's flying in from New York today!"
"New York?" Logan raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah- we met while we were on tour. She was at one of the concerts and I slipped away from the crowd to go get a coffee when I saw her. She was on the bench…crying. So I went over and sat next to her."
Of course, the world seemed to fade into a flashback.
"Hey. What's wrong?" James had asked.
"Nothing really. Just that my boyfriend broke up with me. He took me to BTR's concert and then he just said it's over!"
"He's missing out. You're very pretty."
"Well, I'm not sure about th…" She smiled, and wiped away her tears. But she looked up and saw James.
"James Diamond!" she cried. "Oh. Oh. I'm so sorry." She jumped up.
"Don't worry about it. Here, I'll buy you an ice cream. My treat." James smiled.
Then it faded back to the present and James continued. "We got ice creams and talked for a while, walking around the mall. When I had to come back to you guys, I gave her my number and asked for hers."
James stopped. When Logan asked. "So who is she?"
"I wasn't done!" James shouted playfully.
But then, a gorgeous brunette walked in, like something from a modeling show. She obviously wasn't a rich, spoiled girl from her extremely nice but inexpensive clothes and handbag. She held two suitcases, one in each hand. She had her sunglasses propped up on top of her head and she saw James.
"James!" She cried, dropping the bags on Bitter's feet.
"Caroline!" He picked her up and spun her around. And Caroline laughed.
James finally set her down and put his arm around her.
"This is Caroline Jayson, my girlfriend." James smiled.
Kendall's hand slid from Carlos' mouth and all three stared, their mouths all in perfect, round little O's.
"Kendall…very nice to meet you." She smiled politely. "Logan…hear you're super smart, maybe we can double up on a project or something sometime- we'd definitely get an A++!" She laughed.
Logan mouthed to James- She's smart and pretty?
"And Carlos." She frowned." I'd hoping you'd be wearing your helmet."
"I am." He grinned and turned. It was on his back, kind of like a turtle shell.
Caroline seemed a bit thrown off, but took it into stride.
"Cool." she smiled.
"Well Caroline, it was a pleasure meeting you really, but I have a date." Kendall turned for the doors.
"Wait! Kendall!" James left Caroline and ran over to Kendall. "Can we double-date? It'll give Car a better idea of the town and its people, not to mention she could become friends with Jo!" James pleaded.
"I don't know…" Kendall hesitated.
"Oh c'mon! Please!" James looked at him sadly.
"Oh alright."
"Yes!" James threw his fist into the air in triumph.
The three went out to retrieve Jo from the set of her show.
"Kendall!" She hugged him, then she took notice that they were not alone. "Uh…hi…James…who's…"
"Jo- this is James' new girlfriend, Caroline."
Jo looked taken aback. She whispered to Kendall, "Double date?"
He nodded, "James begged." He told her quietly.
"Alright then- lets go!"
The two girls really hit it off, more so than the boys had hoped for.
"So- you're dating James huh?" Jo asked her, when they were in the boys sight, but not within hearing distance.
"Yeah. He's really sweet and he's cute too." Caroline sighed.
"Where will you be staying?"
"I don't know, I was gonna get a room…"
"No way! You can stay with me and Camille!"
"Who's that?"
"Oh- just Logan's girlfriend…"
"Oh okay, I guess the next roomie is gonna be Carlos' girlfriend!" Caroline joked and the pair burst into laughter.
"Well, I'm glad you came Carly. Without Camille and Logan together on double-dates, it sometimes gets tedious…you know what I mean?" Jo asked on the way to BTR's limo.
"Definitely." She thought of her boyfriend before James. "I'm glad I came. You're a pretty awesome friend." Caroline smiled sincerely, and just like that- the two were buddies.
"Hey…are Logan and Camille together?"
"No- they're on…a break right now." Jo tried to describe it. No way was she about to tell her newfound friend that her boyfriend had kissed Camille, and Logan and James got into this big thing and…too much to tell.
Caroline smiled and noted mentally- Logan and Camille.
