I stood outside the glass door and waited for him to come out.
"I was gonna storm off, but, I don't have anywhere to stay." I whispered quietly. He put his arm around me and hugged me.
"I thought I was over him James."
"I know." He whispered back. "Lets just go."
"So this will be your room, mine is down the hall and Logan's is in the attic conversion." James said placing my suitcase on the enormous bed and smiled. "Dinner will be in like half hour, the chef's making spaghetti bolegnese, cause I know its your favourite."
"Chef? Shit things really have changed." I spun slowly on the spot, looking at the room I was in. It was very nicely decorated. 4 cream walls, with canvas' of the ocean, and pebbles. An obvious guest room, which was mine for the time being.
"Things are a little different now." James said standing in the doorway. "Ill let you get settled."
I nodded silently in reply as he closed the door. I sat on the end of the bed and looked at myself in the full length mirror attatched to the wall infront of me.
Were things different? I mean, I wasn't different. Im pretty sure that had been the purpose of me going to Paris, dad wanted me to change. But I hadn't if anything, I'd gotten more fucked up.
I guess I had changed a bit, I'd had my nose pierced, my hair was longer, gently touching my shoulders now. It was light brown with red hints in it. I dressed a little different. But I was still the same person, I still thought the same I still...feel the same. I sighed and flopped face first onto the bed. Why had I even bothered coming back?
"Miss AJ?" A Spanish accent said with a soft knock on the door. "Diner is being served." The voice said and I then heard it walk away.
I quickly pulled my top off over my head, and pulled my shorts off. Unzipping my suitcase I grabbed a sweater and a pair of leggings.
"HOLY FUCK!" A voice yelled behind me. I spun on the spot and quickly grabbed the clothes, holding them infront of my body.
"JESUS SHITTING MARY JOSEPH! What the hell dude?!" I shouted frantically.
"Im sorry I didn't know anyone was here!" Kendall said, awkwardly trying to avert his eyes from my half naked body. "I...I didn't even know you were back."
"I got back today." I said quietly. "Met your girlfriend. She seems nice."
"She's not." He said, looking straight into my face, Im assuming to avoid looking at my boobs, which I must admit, look amazing in this bra.
"Yeah, she seems like a bitch." He laughed and I smiled. "Im happy youre happy." I said quickly.
"Shut up." He said. "Just don't." He spke bluntly, closed his eyes and shook his head.
"AJJJJJJ!" James' voice shouted from downstairs.
"I think dinners ready." I whispered.
He nodded and walked out the room. I stood half naked and confused. Not that much had changed then.
"So you coming out tonight?" Logan asked. We'd exchanged hugs and laughter before Id sat down to dinner at the crystal glass dining table, that looked more expensive than my entire life. He'd also returned the most important thing to me ever. Paul, my dog.
"Tonight? Whats tonight?" I asked, slurping up my spaghetti.
"Nothing special, just the four of us are going out." Logan said sipping his cola.
"And Kendall's girlfriend." I said quickly.
"And Kendall's girlfriend." James replied.
"And Carlos' girlfriend."
"Carlos' Girlfriend?" I replied.
"Carlos' girlfriend." Kendall said.
"Well, sounds like buckets of fun, but I think im ok." I got up and started washing my plate in the sink.
"Oh come on, itll be fun, we haven't had a night out together since"
"Since I made a complete dick out of myself at that press party?" I said, as I did I realised my scrubbing was angry and the glass I was washing smashed in my hands. "Shit."
"AJ!" Logan said darting out of his seat and grabbing my hands. "How is it you always manage to cause a mess!" He laughed and sat me down. Grabbing a wet towel and dabbing my hands.
"How did you survive all year without us?" Kendall said laughing.
"I didn't." I replied bluntly. Staring at my lap, I could feel their expressions change.
