Me and Katie went to her apartment. When James and Kendall walked in.

"Hi" I said smiling.

"Hey" they both said in usion .

"My name is Miranda" I said sticking out my hand. And looking back at Katie, Logan, Carlos and . They looked confused.

"I am Kendall" Kendall said shaking my hand. "and I am James"

"nice to meet you" they said in usion.

"do I look familiar?" they both shook their heads.

I turned around "yup there hopeless."

And sat back down with Katie. They both ran over to where we were.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I-WE ARE HOPELESS? WE DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU." James yelled. Same ol' James, yelling at strangers.

"James, James, James is that anyway to speak to your sister?" his face blanked out. Kendall looking just as shocked.

"M-M-Mer-c-c-ceedez?" he stuttered. I nodded. He cried. James DIAMOND cried. Last time I saw him cry was...I never seen him cry...he always tried so I would never cry. I got up and hugged him. He hugged me back and sobbed. Everyone else got over the shock of James crying and left the room.

"I-I-I-I-I miss you , S-s-s-so much!" he was shaking. I never seen James act like this.

"James , it's okay! I am fine...now." I said barley saying the last part.

"What do you mean now ? Did somebody hurt you?" he broke away from the hug to look at me..really look at me. I slowly nodded my head. A tear rolling down my face. And collapsed. I couldn't take it anymore. I missed James , so much ,my parents both dead. And I have gotten abused.

"Who?" he growled. Anger flashed in his eyes.

"M-M-Mom's ... Husband... our stepfather ." he hugged me..not tight but lightly. Like I was a newborn baby that he didn't want to hurt. James already knew about our parents deaths, but didn't know mom got re-married.

"M-M-Merceedez... I am so sorry that I've been a bad big brother. I should've never left you. I could've pro.." his voice cracked "tected you. Please, please forgive me..." he whispered the last part.

"Of coarse I forgive you! Your my big brother. Actually my apartments right next store." He looked at me.

"Your living here. ALONE ?" he said protectively .

"yes." Was all I said. He got up and went to his room and got all of his hair supplies and some clothes.

"James what are you doing?" I asked,

"Living with you. Your my baby sister and no way I am letting you live alone." Well there's that protective brother I never really faced. He must think that if he got attracted to me before he knew who I was he probably thinks the whole male population will be too.

"WHY NOT?" I whined.

"because...your different since you were 12...your more...developed now.." he said awkwardly.

"what can I say? I am a Diamond.." I started

"and everyone loves Diamonds" he finished. We made that up when i was 10 and he was 12. Those were the good days. Me and James decided to go swimming, I changed into my bikini and wore a pair of shorts and a band tee. When we went down and I took of my top layer , James looked shocked.

"YOU GOT YOUR BELLYBUTTON PIERCED?" he roared. I looked down . and acted shocked.

"How ever did that get there...what is going on?" i said in a baby voice.

"MERCEEDEZ JENNIFER DIAMOND. Answer the question." Wow..he must be pissed.

"Well obliviously! Mom ..let me get it done.."

Out of no where Carlos came and did his tribe call and picked me up and ran with me in his arms into the water.

"MY HAIR!" I screamed. They all looked at me in disbelief. I smiled. "Kidding. I am not that much like James." Then splashed water at Carlos.. then he splashed back, and it was a never ending cycle. Until Carlos yelled " LETS BREAK THE RECORD OF THE WORLDS BIGGEST FART UNDER WATER." Kendall ran and got his camera while Carlos at 20 jumbo beans and I just watching from a distance. Logan came out.

"what are you guys doing?"

"Trying to beat the world record for biggest fart underwater." I yelled. Some people stared.

"What? You guys were here for the last hour, you know what's going on." I yelled.

"Mercee, be nice!" James told Logan was saying something about Carlos being too far down.

I walked over there. "Guys he's been down there for 30 minutes. How does he hold his breath that long?"

"When do you think its going to happen?" Logan asked.

"I am not sure..."Kendall said leaning towards the water time bomb. Tick tick .

Carlos came up excitedly. "Did you get it?"

The camera was DEAD . frying.

"Is this suppose to happen?" Kendall asked. We all groaned. I went to go back to my- now mine and James apartment when three girls came up to me.

"Hey , you Mercee right?"

"yeah...who are you?" I asked.

"We're the Jennifers of coarse ! wow, she is new." SaidPlatinum Barbie.

I raised an eyebrow.

"okay..what do you want?" I asked

"for you to hang out , with us." Said Brunette Barbie.

"I don't think I'll fit in your little, Jennifer club" I smiled and started to walk away.

"Not. So. Fast." Platinum said. I turned around.

"What?" i asked impatient .

"your middle name is Jennifer. So you have to hang out with us."

I laughed and walked away shaking my head. When I accidently walked into a blonde girl. Making us both fall. She was generally pretty.

"Sorry!" I said helping her up.

"It's okay..you look really familiar..have we met?"

I laughed. Even strangers recognize me

"Only if you were on the girls' Minnesota hockey team. I am Mercee"

"Oh! Your James Diamond's sister! Your like everywhere in his room.. i heard your good at hockey!"

"you like hockey?" asked kind of excited.

"No...Kendall had the same reaction.."

"We're hockey heads...James forced me into hockey when he was 6 and i was 4. Played ever since , and I can kick Logan's butt anyday of the week" I said smiley . I am going to like her.
