If only we took our time to notice.

Author's note: This is my first story, so be nice.

James' POV.

"What's up with you?" I asked when I saw Katie frowning. We were in our apartment 2j, in the living room. Katie was sitting on the orange couch staring at the TV with a pout on her face.

"W-What?" she said distracted. I looked at the TV; 'The Notebook' was on. I walk towards her and sat next to her.

"I said, what is up with you, Kate."

Her eyes was staring to turn red and I could see the tears were about to come out. She was still looking at the TV, by then I realized she was crying because of the movie. I let out a chuckled and tried to run my hand to Katie's hair to mess with it. Before I know it, Katie took my hand and she managed to punch my stomach with the other hand.

"Don't mess with me, James." She said shrugging as if nothing just happened and stared back to the TV.

I was on the floor, coughing and was in pain. She may be 16 and a girl, but she hit like a man.

"Why are you so strong?" I asked in between coughs.

I guess I learned my lesson to not disturb Katie when she's watching a movie. After a couple of seconds, Katie turned off the TV, stood up and lent me a hand. She helped me standing up though I was in agonizing pain, I managed to give Katie a smile.

"Thanks," I said.

Katie rolled her eyes, a smile on her face, "I just punched you, James. Why are you thanking me?"

"You punching me was a no surprise, Katie-Kat. But you helping me up? Wow, I am grateful." I said with a hint of playfulness in my tone.

She playfully hit my arm and gave me a peck on my cheek before she walked away to the kitchen. I touched my cheek with my hand and I could feel myself getting hot. Oh god, please, don't make me blush! I wondered why Katie always has that effect on me. Yes, she's pretty. Yes. She's cool. Yes, she's smart. Yes, she's super funny and totally unpredictable sometimes. But then, she was my best friend's little sister. I was aware of that. But then again, I can't help myself on falling for her.

I stood where I was silently, having a lot of thoughts gushing in my mind. I looked at Katie at the kitchen. She was making herself a hot chocolate. Her hair was a perfect combination with her eyes; brunette for hair and chocolate hazel for eyes. I liked that about her. Realizing I was staring at her and feeling like a creep, I walked away to my room that I shared with Kendall.

I went inside and I was surprised to see Kendall and Jo on his bed. They were making out. I was in complete shocked and was feeling very awkward. Fortunately, they did not notice me coming in so I quietly get out to the living room again giving them some privacy. I have got to congratulate Kendall on getting that far with a girl. I've never gone that far, yet. I sighed at that thought.

Katie was now in front of me, a smile on her beautiful face. She was holding a cup of hot chocolate.

"I am so sorry. I totally forgot about Kendall and Jo in there." She giggled.

"Yeah, you kinda did." I said taking her cup away from her and took a sip of her hot choc. She let out a soft laughter and took back her cup when I was done. We walk together in silence to the kitchen and sat on the dining chair.

"So, how long has that been going on?" I asked as I pointed to the direction of my shared room.

"Well," she said stopping to take a sip of her drink and continued, "It started when I was watching 'The Notebook'. "

I nodded, encouraging her to continue.

"So, like, I was sitting there watching TV and suddenly they came in while they're still making out. I don't think they even noticed me. It's been an hour now." She said in a kind of disgust.

I laughed, "It must have been weird seeing your brother making out in front of you, isn't it?"

"Totally." She agreed.

Thud! The door was open and came into view was Logan and Carlos. They were laughing and joking around, obviously having fun.

"Dude, we met this really hot girl just now," Carlos said to me in full excitement mode.

I stood up, feeling excited too. I know, I know, I may have feelings for Katie and all, but we're not dating. I know deep down, she doesn't feel the same way about me and even if she does, Kendall won't let it happen. So why waste my time hovering on her while I can go on a date with a total hot babe that Carlos just mentioned.

"Not just any hot girl," Logan was saying now a wide grin spread on his face, "It was Miley Cyrus!"

The three of us smile and were gushing about her excitedly. Carlos was literally jumping up and down and if I had to be honest, I was too jumping up and down in the inside.

Katie's POV

I stared at the boys, dumbfounded. They looked like a bunch of girls giggling. I rolled my eyes, feeling annoyed and left out.

"What's the big deal with Miley Cyrus anyway?" I said kind of harshly.

I keep my eyes from glaring at James. I do not want to make it obvious that I was jealous. I mean, what does she have that I don't? Apparently, it was everything. I mentally sighed, wishing that James would notice me not as a sister or a friend but a future lover. I really like him. No, I love him. He's funny. He's cute. He understands me better than anyone does. Why can't he see that I am completely and utterly in love with him? I gave him hints. Well, punching was not a good thing though. I need to stop punching him. That way he'll love me too. I hope.

The boys turned around, giving me a shocked look on each of their faces.

"What's the big deal?" Carlos started, "The big deal is that she can be my future wife!"

Logan started to laugh, "Oh Carlos, dear, dear, dear, I'm positive she'll pick me as her husband."

Carlos glared at him, his fist getting ready to punch Logan.

"She'll pick me!" Carlos yelled.

"No, me!" Logan screamed back.

The argument was beginning to become a huge fight. I loved Carlos and Logan as my own brothers, I don't want to see them get hurt, moreover by each other.

"Guys!" I shouted. James pulled Carlos away while I pushed Logan. They glared at each other but had stopped fighting.

"What is up with the screaming?" Kendall's voice breaking the silence.

I turned around and see my big brother walking towards us to the kitchen. He looked annoyed and somewhat angry. His hair was very messy and his jacket half zipped, showing his bare chest.

"The two idiots' fighting about Miley Cyrus." I shrugged as I pointed with my thumb at Logan and Carlos.

"What happened to you?" Logan asked in curiosity while James smiled sheepishly at Kendall.

"Kendall and Jo are getting it on." James sang while he moved his head back and forth. I laughed at James when he started to do a wave dance with his hands.

Carlos' eyes were getting big, and he looked confuse to what was really happening.

"Wow," Logan said, his eyebrows up and his eyes big.

"Yeah, well, thanks to you two idiots, I won't be getting some tonight." He said frustrated and ran back to his and James' bedroom.

"Getting some what?" Carlos asked innocently.

Logan chuckled and patted Carlos' back. There was no way any of us were going to answer Carlos' question.

What'd you think? Should I continue? Review please. :)
