Sorry about the whole changing from different point of views! I just love doing it this way. If it's causing problems, please let me know. I'll do my best to keep if from mines, Kendall's, or James point of view.

It was later in the evening. James had decided not to go looking for Choir. He figured she would resurface sooner or later. And with her Kendall should as well. He was going to give Kendall a piece of his mind. He spotted Choir first and made it abundantly clear of how he felt about her. Kendall was just being an ass. James felt there was something more to Kendall's intentions with Choir. He didn't want any type of relationship. He had to be using her. Yeah, he knew she was with Kendall, and yeah it was driving him insane. Him being with her burned fire in his eyes, but he wasn't going assume the worse. He would spaz just like Kendall had earlier this morning. Choir had looked hurt by what Kendall had done, and he didn't want to be another reason.

He was able to keep his composure. Knowing that she would be around any minute now gave him more of a reason to keep it together. He didn't want to give any sign that this was bothering him.

Besides, what could have possibly happened between them in the last 6 hours?

James sighed to himself. He finally came out of thought to see that he was looking down at the pool. A pair of red swimming trunks floated across the water. He raised an eye brow, bemused.

What was a pair of red trunks doing in the water? More importantly, how did the guy leave without them?

He shook his head, smiling.

James looked around wondering where they were.

Choir said to meet at the pool around 8:30. Oh man, something big must have happened. Maybe- No James don't think that! You'll start freaking out! Besides they wouldn't do anything like that. They're only sixteen! I'm only 16! Yet, I'm thinking about it.

James began to bit his nails on his right hand.

Oh this is bad. This is very bad. Happy thoughts! Happy thought. Rah Rah Ah Ah Ah Ruma ma rum ma ma Gaga oh la la what your bad romance…

"James?"

James quickly came out of thought at his name. He immediately saw Kendall staring at him with a baffled look. James looked down to see his hands in a claw posture. He must have started doing the dance without realizing it. Now that he had and Kendall was staring at him, his cheeks blushed slightly red.

He dropped his arms and cleared his throat. "Uh hey…" he replied awkwardly. "Where's Choir?" he added as he scratched the back of his head.

"She's coming…" he trailed off. James nodded. Silence.

Kendall looked down at his feet feeling the awkwardness as well.

"Well-" Kendall started.

"Look-"James started to say as well.

They both smiled. "You first," Kendall offered.

"No that's okay, you can go," James pushed back. He wanted to hear what Kendall had to say before he would tell Kendall how he felt and would pretty much appreciated it if he backed off.

Kendall's lips tightened. He was thinking of how to put his words together that would least hurt his best friend's feelings.

James blinked a few times. God, what was he waiting for?

"Choir and I-"

James stiffened, and hands clenched tight, his jaw locked. "You and Choir, what?" James gritted through his teeth.

"This isn't easy to say but if you could just be open minded-"

"Go to-"

"Kendall!!" came Katie's voice. Kendall turned on the spot. Katie was running at him with a big smile on her face.

"Not now Kate," Kendall sighed.

"We're going shopping!" she squealed. "At that big, big, big, big big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big big, big, big, big, big-" Kendall put his hand to her mouth.

"I-get-it" Kendall said slowly. Katie nodded. He slowly let his hand from her mouth.

"SUPER BIG MALL!" she yelled.

Kendall rolled his eyes. "Good for you," he said.

"And you too, silly!"

Kendall looked up to hear heels approaching them as well. His mother walked over. "There you are. I've been looking for you all day." She looked over at James and smiled. "Couldn't find you either James. You boys spend all day together?"

"Oohhhhh" Katie teased. "James and Kendall sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

"Mom, make her stop. Please!" Kendall pleaded.

"That's enough Katie. But in all seriousness Kendall, you could have told me you and James were going to be god knows where all day."

"I wasn't with James!" Kendall shouted, stressed.

"Then where were you?" his mother questioned.

Kendall shrugged his shoulders not knowing what to say to his mother. He wanted to tell her the truth but that's because James was there and he was getting anxious to rub it in his face. But he thought best to save it for when his mother wasn't in ear shot. She would definitely send him back to Minnesota, but not before she burned Choir at the stake.

"I was studying in my room." It was the best he could do. He had to come up with something fast and this was the only thing he could think of. If there was any chance his mother would believe him, this lie was the best. He was a good student so why wouldn't she believe him.

She smiled. "That's my boy."

James jaw dropped. He then rolled his eyes shaking his head. The moron doesn't fall far from the moron does it?

"Well I'm glad we found you. We 3 are going to go to the mall. It's open for about another 2 hours and I would like to get you and your sister some clothes,"

"Now?" James asked. He found the whole thing ridiculous.

His mother's face tightened. "Kendall Knight I don't appreciate the tone you've been using. I can say the same for that crappy attitude you have." She scolded.

Kendall shook his head. He couldn't believe this was actually happening. James smiled feeling a bit self-satisfied by what was happening.

"Now were going or you can go right up to your room."

Fuck off! "Mom, Choir, James and I are supposed to be cleaning the pool," Kendall said trying to reason with her.

"Oh no, don't worry about it Kendall." James started. When they all looked at him he continued. "Choir and I can take care of it. Go with your family, we'll be okay,"

Kendall's expression turned grave.

"Aw, thank you James!" Kendall's mother said.

Kendall whipped his neck to look back at her. "You have such a great friend Kendall,"

Kendall looked back at James who was smiling back.

I'm going to wipe that stupid smile off his stupid face!

"Oh yeah, what would I ever do without James," Kendall gritted through his teeth sarcastically.

James only beamed at him even more. "Great, let's go!" Katie squealed joyfully. She grabbed Kendall's hand and pulled him.

His mother laughed and followed after him.

Score!

James smiled to himself. This is going to a great opportunity for him.

Just me, Choir and the stars!

He spun on the spot.

"Whoa!" He lost his balance and went crashing into the pool. He resurfaced coughing out the water he had swallowed.

"James?"

Jerking his head to the right to get his hair out his eyes he saw Choir walking over.

"Hey…Choir" he laughed nervously.

She came up to the edge of the pool. "What happened? Why are you in the pool?"

"I accidently fell in," James admitted. He swam up to her and began to pull himself out of pool. Choir grabbed him by the arm to help him out.

Choir giggled. James looked up at her. He couldn't help but smile when she laughed. "What?"

"You're a mess, you know that James Diamond."

James chuckled. "Yeah I know. You like it." He joked.

Choir laughed. Silence fell between them. There was the awkwardness again. There was something James needed to know though. He wouldn't be able to be himself without knowing.

"Where were you? I mean when you went after Kendall I didn't see you anymore," James asked.

Choir looked around. James figured maybe it was because her cheeks when red, red. She looked a bit shameful.

"Did Kendall hurt you?" James asked.

Choir looked at him almost immediately. She was taken by what he just asked. "What? Kendall hurt me? He would never do such a thing. James how can you even think that!"

"I'm s-sorry. You just…I just- I'm sorry."

Choir sighed. "We just spent the day together." She answered.

No duh!

"Did you guys…do anything?"

"James I'm not having this conversation with you," Choir said. She turned her back on him and walked over to the net stand. She grabbed one of the wands and headed back to the pool. James watched her. She looked at him.

"Are you going to help or not."

Rude much? Fine. If she wants me to help then I'm doing it my way.

James began to unbutton his black vest. He yanked it off and let it drop. He pulled his wet white T over his head and let it fall to the floor. His muscled body revealed beads of pool water trailed down his skin. Choir looked at him, her mouth dropped, logically. She looked away fast.

"Is that necessary?" she asked.

"IS there a problem?" James asked.

Just say yes honey because I would love to hear that reason why.

She dipped the net in the pool catching a few leaves in it. "Nope. No problem here," she stated.

"Right," James said under his breath. He walked over to the net stand, grabbed a net and headed to the other side of the pool.

They were silent as they scooped up every leave in the pool. James also took the trunks out the pool. Choir laughed.

"Gross right?" James asked.

Choir laughed more. James shook the trunks in the trash. Choir put her net back; James came up behind her and put his back as well.

She walked back over to the pool. She slipped her flip flops off and sat down and placed them in the pool.

James rolled his black jeans up to his knees and took a seat beside her. He looked up at the night sky. "It's really pretty up there," he whispered.

Choir gazed at him then looked to the sky.

She smiled softly. "It sure is."

"It'll never be as beautiful as you, though."

Choir brought her eyes to James gaping at him. "James…"

James brushed his hand against her cheek. "I can see the way the star light twinkles in your eyes. The moon light brightens your cheeks. Even with it getting darker, that could never stop be from seeing your amazing beauty. You're laugh is enough to know that you're more beautiful than any star, any girl I'll ever see." James moved his face toward hers. He kept his eyes opened until he had fully pressed his lips on hers.

Houston, I love you.

He slowly parted his lips and to his shock Choir went with it.

"You creepy-Zac Efron looking- hormonal-amateur boy band-freak!"

James went bug eyed.

Shit, Rocque.
