I was walking out of my apartment when I was tackled to the ground. I mean, damn I knew I was sexy, but this was getting out of control. She was kinda cute and looked really familiar too. I cocked an eyebrow and she scrambled up quickly.

"I am so sorry! I didn't see you standing there!" She held out her hand and pulled me up. "I'm Brooke-Lynn."

That's it! I knew she looked familiar! "James Diamond." I replied shaking her hand. She looked shocked like she realized who I was. I smirked. "It's nice to stare Sweetheart."

She rolled her eyes. "I gotta go." Shit. I can't let her get away. She started to walk around me and I grabbed her arm. "Let. Me. Go."

I chuckled a bit. "Not a chance. Be my date to the bonfire?"

"Not a chance." she smiled mockingly. She yanked her arm away and strutted down the hallway.

I ran my hands through my hair and followed her to the pool. "Damn." I muttered. I joined Kendall and Carlos. "Where's Logan?" Kendall pointed to his left, across the pool.

"With Camille- as usual-, Lucy and the new girl." Carlos said. I looked over to where Logan was and saw Brooke-Lynn laughing with Lucy.

"Excuse me for a minute." I walked over to Brooke-Lynn and put my arm around her shoulder. "Hey Brooke-Lynn mind if I talk to you for a minute? No? Great!" I pulled her off to the side. "What did Lucy say to you?"

Why do you even care?" she asked haughtily.

"Just answer the question," I replied impatiently. I crossed my arms over my chest and waited.

"Fine, she told me that you were a player and self centered. And you've basically proved her right. Goodbye now." she said and started walking back to Lucy, Logan and Camille.

"Brooke-Lynn wait. Don't listen to Lucy. We kinda had a thing, but that's long over and she never forgave me for breaking up with her."

"Why did you break up with her?"

I sat there silently, not knowing how to tell her. "I... Uh..."

"I don't have all night James, " she put her hands on her hips and tapped her boot.

I sighed and pulled her inside the cabana. "Look, this isn't easy since we just met, but I've liked you for a long time. I'm the one who showed Gustavo your YouTube videos, telling him he was crazy if he didn't sign you. I broke up with Lucy as soon as he sent you that email. Please. Just give me a chance."

She stared at me for a moment. "I... I don't know what to say."

"Say yes," I pleaded.

"Can we start out as friends please? I don't want to hurt Lucy's feelings. I want to make sure she's completely over you before we make any commitment."

I nodded. "That's fair I guess." She gave me a small smile and walked back over to Lucy and Camille.

I walked back over to guys, " How'd it go buddy?" Carlos asked.

"She wants to be friends."

Kendall and Carlos smiled. "Leave it to Lucy to screw things up." Kendall chuckled.

I rolled my eyes, "Shut up man. I don't even know why I dated her."

"She's hot, that's why" Carlos remarked.

"Yes, but she's crazy." I retorted. I felt someone tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Lucy standing there. "Can I help you?"

"Do you really like her?" I nodded. "How? You don't even know her! Plus we just broke up!"

"First off Lucy, we broke up two months ago. Secondly, she sings beautifully and has a great sense of humor. Thirdly, it's none of your business who I like."

Lucy rolled her eyes, "How do you know? She just got here."

"She's the girl from YouTube that I showed Gustavo." I sighed and put my hands on Lucy's waist. "Look, I'm sorry about the way things ended between us. I still care about you and want you to be happy. Why can't you do the same for me?"

"Because I love you. But it's pretty obvious that you don't love me anymore." Lucy leaned up and kissed me on the cheek. "Goodbye James."

"What was that about? Looked pretty intense." Logan said walking over to us.

"She found out I like Brooke-Lynn. She told me goodbye. What the fuck does that mean?"

"You're free dude, she's letting you go!" Carlos high fived me. "Go talk to her."

I looked over at where Camille and Lucy and saw that Brooke-Lynn wasn't with them anymore. "Hi everyone, I'm Brooke-Lynn Grace." I turned around and saw that she was about to sing. I smiled and walked to the front. "I wrote this song a long time ago and I hope you guys like it." she smiled and started strumming her guitar.

"This is wrong but

I can't help but feel like

There ain't nothing more out there.

Misty morning comes again and I can't

Help but wish I could see your face

And I knew from the first note played I'd be breaking all my rules to see you

You smile that beautiful smile

And all the girls in the front row scream your name

So dim that spotlight, tell me things like

I can't take my eyes off of you

I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl

Who's desperately in love with you

Give me a photograph to hang on my wall

Superstar

Good morning loneliness

Comes around when I'm not dreaming about you

When my world wakes up today you'll be in another town

And I knew when I saw your face I'd be

Counting down the ways to see you

And you smile that beautiful smile

And all the girls in the front row scream your name

So dim that spotlight, tell me things like

I can't take my eyes off of you

I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl

Who's desperately in love with you

Give me a photograph to hang on my wall

Superstar

You played in bars, you play guitar

And I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are

And you'll never see, you sing me to sleep

Every night from the radio

So dim that spotlight, tell me things like

I can't take my eyes off of you

I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl

Who's desperately in love with you

Give me a photograph to hang on my wall

Superstar

Sweet, sweet superstar

Superstar"

While she sang she never broke eye contact. She put the guitar down and walked off. I met her at the bottom of the steps. "You were really good."

"Thank you." she avoided my stare and tried to walk around me but I stopped her. "Are we really going to do this again? Brooke-Lynn, you honestly can't say you wrote that song about me. I know you did. You wouldn't have sung it tonight if you hadn't. Am I right?"

She just looked at me. " Fine. I wrote the song about you. 2 years ago. When you were the sweet caring hockey player from Minnesota. Not this condescending asshole from LA."

"I'm not that guy Brooke-Lynn! I have never been! Yes I'm confident and yes I can be an ass. But what guy isn't? I like you a lot and I know you feel the same way. Please. Just give me a chance."

"Why? Why are you trying so hard?" she asked.

"Why are you being so stubborn? If it wasn't for me you wouldn't even be here right now. You should be thanking me." I was getting pissed and I could tell that was what she wanted.

"Thank you. Are you happy now?" she started walking away, I grabbed her hand and spun her around before connecting our lips.

I pulled away and smiled. "You're welcome." I walked away leaving her stunned and speechless.
