Still not finished but here's another one!


Jo woke up pushed towards the edge of her bedside. Kendall's legs were in a mid kick position, indicating he had caused her to move farther away from him. It made her laugh how most people would end up having done something they'd regret when in bed with a friend, but Kendall just kicked her out.

She got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wake herself up properly. In the hallway Jett greeted her in his boxers and T-shirt. It was a sight she hadn't seen for the longest time, causing her to blush and scurry away before she'd think of the worst.

Jett looked back at the blonde girl run away. The sight of her made him feel sick in the stomach. Seeing her again reminded him of how much he had really liked her. But it was too late for those feelings to come back, considering he was now her brother-in-law.

He went back into his and Eloise's room. He looked at his wife sleep, but all he could think of was Jo and the way she used to sleep.


Kendall woke up to a phone call from Lucy. He had answered it, partially asleep, but it was enough for him to know that things were not going well with his girlfriend and her family.

"Kendall, I can't stay here. You have to come back. They're trying to set me up with my ex. I can't stay here." She complained to him.

"Wait, how can they try to set you up with your ex when they met me and loved me?" Kendall asked confused.

"They think you're a great guy for now but they don't think you're marriage material. My mom's always has been going on about how much she wanted me to marry her best friend's son Beau." Lucy explained. "I need you back Kendall."

"Luce, I can't come back you know that." He said, truthfully feeling sorry. "Try to explain to them that you don't want to be with Beau and how you're happy with me."

"They aren't going to listen." She replied. "They'll just be like 'oh fine, but give a Beau a chance and you'll come to your senses.' They won't understand. Please come back."

"I already promised Jo I'd-"

"I'M YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" Lucy interjected through the phone. "You're supposed to put me before others!"

"Luce, I can't just break a promise. When you break a promise, you also break a-"

"Don't give me that philosophical bull shit Kendall. If you don't want to be my Knight, then fine. Maybe I will go out with Beau." She spat and hung up.

Kendall closed the phone and groaned into his pillow. "Why do I got to be such a idiotic nice guy?" He complained to himself.

"Are you alright?" Jo asked, startling the blond boy. "Sorry, I kinda walked in and heard you talking to yourself."

He gave her an apologetic smile. "Sorry, I just have a dilemma."

"What's wrong?" She asked, sitting next to him on the bed.

"It's just, Lucy's having trouble with her family and they are trying to get her to go out with her ex again, so she called to tell me to come back but I told her I couldn't because I was here helping you. She got mad because I'm supposed to be her boyfriend and put her first, but I made a promise to you, so she said she's going to go out with Beau because I'm failing to do my duties." Kendall explained.

"I'm sorry. This is my fault." Jo apologized.

"No it isn't. I shouldn't have done this." He responded.

"No, I should have declined your offer because I knew that it wouldn't work." She said. "You should really go see her to save your relationship."

"But what about you?" He asked.

"What about me? I'm not the love of your life so you don't really owe me anything. You showed up, which is good enough." She argued.

"But what will your parents say?" He questioned.

"Don't worry about me Kendall. I'll just tell them there was a family emergency so you had to go back home. Simple." She answered.

"Jo, I made you a promise."

"Which you did keep by coming here and pretending to be my fiancé. But now you have to go save your relationship with the real love of your life." She said.

"Are you sure?" Kendall asked.

"Positive. Now, go get ready and I'll call the airport and book your flight. We'll just have breakfast and then we'll break the news to my parents." She said.

"You truly are one heck of a girl Jo." He told her.

She gave him a thankful smile and began to look busy with unpacking her stuff. She didn't want him to leave. She didn't know why this was bothering her so much. She knew he'd have to leave to see Lucy anyway, but it made her a bit jealous and hurt that he would leave her like this.

"He's just your friend Jo." She told herself. She sighed and lay back in bed. It smelled fairly of Kendall. The aroma of his cologne mixed with the musk of sweat, which strangely smelled good to her. She thought about last night when he had brought her into his arms and rubbed her back to comfort her. No one had ever made her feel comfortable the way he had.

Was she beginning to like Kendall? No, it couldn't be. Could it? She hated this. He was making her fall for him when she had no chance in hell to ever be with him. He probably didn't even think of her as anything more than a friend like Logan and Camille.

Why was she even thinking about this? She had sworn off liking people for good after Jett, so why should Kendall become an exception?

She got up and decided to call the airport to book Kendall's flight. The faster she did the faster these feelings would get away.

When she called and asked, they told her that there were very limited flights since it was Christmas Eve and most of them were booked. She asked if there was any opening for a flight to Georgia in the next few hours and to her luck there had been one at nine at night. She booked it under Kendall's name and paid for it with her card.

Kendall came back, dressed and ready for the day. Jo told him the details of his new flight. "Thanks again Jo."

"You're welcome." She replied. "We should go down for breakfast now."

"Shouldn't you get dressed?" Kendall asked her.

"Oh. Yeah I should." She said looking down at herself. "You can go down with out me."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

Kendall headed down to the kitchen while Jo quickly changed into daywear. She was about to head down but she heard someone retching in the bathroom, so she went to investigate.

She knocked on the bathroom door, but all she heard was retching. "Eloise?"

"Jo, just a minute." Eloise replied before hurling again.

"El, are you alright?" Jo asked, concerned.

"Peachy." Eloise answered in a false cheery voice. The retching stopped and Jo could hear water running. She waited outside the door for her sister to come out.

Eloise walked out, pretending nothing happened. "Jo, what are you waiting for?"

"I wanted to know if you're okay. I heard you throwing up." Jo said.

"Oh, I think dinner just didn't sit well with me." Eloise lied. Jo eyed her sister suspiciously, but decided to let it go. It would come out eventually.

"If you say so." Jo said more harshly than intended.

"Jo, are you still mad at me for not telling you?" Eloise asked her sister.

"El, let's not talk about this right now okay. It's Christmas time." Jo avoided.

"So I'm guessing yes." Eloise said sadly. "Jo, I know that I should have told you, but I didn't know how."

"El. Stop. Let's just go to breakfast." Jo said. She didn't wait for her sister to reply. Jo knew it wasn't right to treat her sister like that but she felt it was only fair after what happened.

"Morning sweetheart." Jo's mother greeted her as she came down. "Kendall was just telling us how he taught you to ice-skate on your first date and you almost crushed him."

"Well I told him that I wasn't a skater." She complained.

"It's true, she did but it was the only way I could get to hold her hand." He stated, causing Jo to blush.

"Did he really want to hold my hand?" She thought to herself. "Of course not. He was just being nice."

"Well aren't you just a romantic." Jo said sarcastically.

"Well I think it's sweet." Said a voice behind Jo. She didn't dare turn around because she knew it was Jett.

"Thank you." Kendall said politely. Jo walked over to sit next to Kendall at the table. Jett sat across from her. Eloise walked down and joined them to. She kissed Jett on the cheek before sitting down, making Jo roll her eyes inwardly.

Jo's mom had made cinnamon chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast that Kendall fell in love with. He had at least 3 stacks before he couldn't eat any more. Jo laughed as she watched him down them like water.

"So today, we thought we'd go see the lights festival in the town circle and then go watch the church choir before we have a late dinner." Jo's mom said.

"And after dinner we all exchange one gift with one another." Mr. Taylor added.

"Um, I think Kendall and I will have to skip out on all of that, there was a family emergency and he has to go back home." Jo told her parents.

"Oh no!" Mrs. Taylor exclaimed. "Is everything okay?"

"My sister is really sick and my mom can't take care of her alone." Kendall lied.

"Aww that poor dear." Jo's mom said. "Well I guess Jo will be seeing you off then."

"Yup! That's exactly what I'll be doing so I can't go with you all." Jo said rather cheerfully causing Jett to be suspicious.

"You know, I can always drop Kendall off at the airport so you can spend time with your family Jo." Jett offered.

"No!" Jo yelled. "I mean, no Kendall's my fiancé and I want to see him off."

"Well then, why don't we all go?" Mr. Taylor suggested.

"That's okay!" Kendall told them.

"No, we insist." Mr. Taylor stated. Kendall looked over at Jo who returned his nervousness.

After they ate, Jo and Kendall rushed upstairs as fast as they could to figure out how they were to stop her family from finding out he was going to Georgia and not Minnesota.

"We'll have to get there before them." Jo said. "I'll give them the wrong timings and they won't even know."

"This is getting ridiculous." Kendall admitted.

"I'm sorry. I'll just tell them the truth." She accepted defeat and was ready to go down and come clean.

"No. We've worked too hard." He stopped her.

"I'm sorry I dragged you into my problems. I'm a horrible friend." She told him.

"No you aren't. You were in need, and I came to your rescue." Kendall responded. "I should have been wiser about how I should have helped you."

Just then there was a knock on the door.

"Kendall, can we have a word with you?" It was Mrs. Taylor.

Kendall looked over at Jo to get an explanation as to what was going on, but Jo looked just as confused as him. "I'll be right out."

Kendall left Jo to worry about things herself feeling awful that he had to leave her so soon.
