We'll discuss details later! ;D Without any further delay, here's chapter four!

It's been a really, really messed up week. Since it was summer now, Karen was around more than ever. I spent as much time as I could at the pool, and whenever she showed up there, I went back to the suite and chilled in my room. Kendall wouldn't talk to me, and if he ever did, it was some snide remark or critique on my singing or dancing. Logan and James kept trying to get me to talk, but I refused to open up to them or anyone about what happened. Whenever I was in my room, I usually just lay on my bed and stared at the wall, thinking about what had happened; I was still trying to understand what I had done wrong to make Karen cheat on me on our date. I took her to the carnival, I won her a stuffed animal, I bought her dinner, and I held her hand and hugged her. What did I do wrong?

I was getting hungry and decided to go grab something out of the kitchen to eat. Kendall, James, Logan, and Karen were down at the pool, and Mrs. Knight and Katie were out shopping, so I had the suite to myself. I fixed myself a bowl of Honey Nut Cherrios and sat at the counter, stirring the little circles around the bowl before scooping them into my mouth. I heard the door open and no one said anything, so I assumed it had to be Kendall. I heard footsteps and then two hands smacked themselves down on the counter in front of me. Finger nail polished hands. Oh crud. I slowly looked up and met Karen's angry but beautiful hazel eyes.

Stop it Carlos! I told myself. She cheated on you! I shook my head and looked at her sternly. "What?" I spat.

"What is your problem, Carlos? You left me there at the carnival and Kendall had to come pick me up! You didn't even give me a chance to explain!" Karen exclaimed angrily.

"Oh really?" I replied just as angrily. "'Cause what it looked like to me was you hanging all over and kissing some guy you didn't even know like he was your boyfriend while you were on a date with me! I really liked you! But now after what you did to me, I don't know what I was thinking! I thought you would be like Kendall, who is nice to his girlfriend and treats her like a princess, but I was dead wrong! You're such a – a skunk bag! I – I hate you!" I was standing by now, my hands on the counter, leaning over just like Karen. I stood back and sighed angrily, running my hands through my hair. I looked at Karen, and fat tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"First of all, his name is Aaron," Karen choked through her tears. "I've known him for 2 years and he's like one of my best friends. And second of all, he's gay. So I wasn't cheating on you. Aaron and I are like that all the time. I really liked you too, but after what you just said to me, I don't know why I did. Maybe I'll just move back home with my mom and dad, since I clearly don't belong at the Palm Woods with my cousin's mean friends." She turned on her heel and ran to her room, slamming the door behind her. I heard her crying hysterically and sighed.

Good job Carlos! I told myself, smacking my forehead. It was her best friend and he's gay! Just perfect! I sat back down at the counter and put my head down on the cool linoleum. I heard the door open again and looked up. It was Kendall. Oh great.

"Hey," I said quietly.

"What do you want?" he said bitterly.

"Karen just told me about the guy at the carnival. I feel like such a jerk! I'm so sorry Kendall! I didn't mean to screw things up! I just really like her and when I saw her all over another guy, I thought the worst! How do I fix this?" I cried, cradling my head in my hands. Kendall sighed and sat down next to me, patting my back.

"I understand man. I thought the worst when I saw Jo with her costar too," he said, rubbing my back now. "But, look, what you need to do is apologize. But you really screwed this up, 'cause I heard out in the hallway what you said to her, so you need to think of some big way to apologize."

"But what exactly?" I whined, sitting up and looking at him.

"You're – well, kinda smart. You'll think of something, I have faith in you." He slapped my back and stood up. "I'm gonna head back down to the pool with the guys and give you guys some time to work this out, okay?"

"Alright," I sighed. Kendall gave me a light punch on the shoulder, then left. I sighed and trudged back to my room. I flopped down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. All I could think about was Karen. When I met her it was like my heart went knock-knock against my ribs. And then the butterflies in my stomach wouldn't stop...

Hey, that kinda rhymes, I thought. Knock-knock…stop-stop. I grabbed my guitar and a notebook off the desk and began scribbling down lyrics and strumming chords. I knew exactly what to do.

"Karen?" I said quietly, knocking on her bedroom door, clutching my guitar in my other hand.

"Go away, Carlos!" she yelled back. I heard her blow her nose to hide the fact that she was still crying.

"Please, just give me another chance. I wanted to come apologize," I said, leaning my forehead against the door. "I was such a jerk to you, and you didn't deserve that. Please, Karen, just let me apologize, and if you don't wanna forgive me even after that, I understand." I heard silence and sighed. I turned to go back to my room when I heard the door creak open quietly. I turned back around to see Karen peeking at me through the crack in her door.

"What's the guitar for?" she asked.

"It's part of my apology," I replied. "Can I, uh, come in?"

"Sure, whatever." She turned around and I followed her inside. She sat back down on her bed and I sat by her feet.

"Now, I just wrote this, so bare with me if I mess up." She nodded and I began to strum my guitar.

"Yeah, yeah, whoo, whoa/When I met you girl my heart went knock, knock/Now them butterflies in my stomach won't stop, stop/Even though it's a struggle love is all we got/So we gon' keep, keep climbing to the mountain top

Your world is my world/And my fight is your fight/My breath is your breath/When you're hurt, I'm not right

You love's so deep, you know that it humbles me/You're by my side, them troubles them not trouble me/Many have called but the chosen is you/Whatever you want shawty I'll give it to you

Your world is my world/And my fight is your fight/And my breath is your breath/When you're hurt, I'm not right

Shawty right there/She's got everything I need/And I'ma tell her one time, one time/I give you everything you need down to my last dime/She makes me happy/I know where I'll be/Right by your side/'Cause she is the one for me/Yeah, yeah, yeah/Girl, I love, girl I love you/Girl, I love, girl I love you

Girl you're my one love, my one heart/My one life for sure/Let me tell you one time/Girl, I love, girl I love you/I'ma tell you one time/Girl, I love, girl I love you/And I'ma be your one guy/You'll be my number one girl/Always making time for you/I'ma tell you one time/Girl, I love, girl I love you/I'ma tell you one time/Girl, I love, girl I love you/Girl, yeah…." As I picked the last few notes, I looked up at Karen and smiled weakly. "So, what did you think?" She stared at me with tears in her eyes before flinging herself on me, wrapping her arms around my neck and giving me the biggest hug I've ever gotten. She cried silently into my shoulder, and I squeezed her back, burying my face in her hair. After a minute, she pulled back and wiped her eyes.

"Thank you so much, Carlos," she choked out. "That song was beautiful. I can't believe you wrote that for me. I feel so loved. Thank you. Did you really mean what you said in the song, when you said you loved me?"

"I meant every word," I whispered, taking her hands in mine. "I fell in love with you the minute I saw you. You're beautiful and smart and funny and talented. I'm truly sorry about the way I acted a week ago and today. Will you forgive me? Please?" I gave her my puppy dog eyes and she smiled.

"Yes, Carlos, I forgive you," she grinned.

"Thank you," I said, hugging her. Then I got an idea. "And now for part two of my apology."
"What do you mean part two?" Karen asked, but I cut her off my placing a finger to her lips.

"Shh," I whispered. I gently grabbed her face in between my hands. "Just watch." And I slowly leaned my face towards hers.

Hahaha! Cliff hanger! :D Although I'm pretty sure you can guess what's gonna happen next ;) But anyway, the song was 'One Time (My Heart Edition)' by Justin Bieber. Do not own the song or Justin blah blah blah. Okay, you get the point ;) Please read/review! Thanks! :D
