Katie

It has been a WHOLE week since my mom grounded me. Carlos was the only one who helped when it came to Brody. He let me borrow his cell and would keep an eye out for my mom whenever he was over. Kendall hasn't spoken to James since he whole "You're dead to me" thing. Every time he sees James, Kendall gives him the death stare.

I listened to James' advice and acted good around my mom. If I keep it up, I might be able to get out on parole. Yes, this whole 'grounded' thing is like jail to me. She has NEVER been this mean before.

James' birthday party is tomorrow and his planning is about done. Since I now have no life, I've been helping him out a little. My life now consists of helping James with his party, cleaning the apartment and reading. Reading has become my new hobby. I read books about people whose lives' suck, no joke, and it really helps with the depressing part of being grounded. I really want to go to his party though.

I talked to Kendall the other day about the party.

[Flashback]

"Please Kendall. I really want to go." I was begging him to persuade my mom to let me go.

"Why should I?"

"Why can't you just do me this favor?"

"Because of what you did! You were making out with my best friend Katie! You're my little sister. How could you do that to me? Do you know how awkward it's been? I haven't talked to him since. And I don't even think I'm going to the par-"

"What! He's your best friend! How could you not go?"

"He WAS my best friend."

"Kendall? Is this about what I did, or is it about James?" He stared at me for a few seconds.

"How do I know if he'll stop next time? How do I know you wont do it again?"

"Kendall, I promise you, nothing like that will ever happen. I'm with Brody, and I love him."

"Really? You sure?" I smiled. He was back to being the over protective older brother again.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Fine. I'll ask her. But I'm not promising anything."

"One more thing. Can you make up with James?" He sighed.

"1st the Party, now this? Katie, I don't know if I can."

"Please, just talk to him."

"Ugh! Fine." I hugged him.

"Thanks big brother.

[End of Flashback]

She flat out said no when Kendall asked. She added "don't even bother asking again. I'm just going to keep saying no." Kendall said sorry and that was the last of that discussion.

It was 6:45 and my mom had just left for the party with Kendall and Logan, James and Carlos weren't going to leave until 8. Brody was invited so I would be alone today. I think I heard mom ask Bitters to keep an eye on me. Great! I was pulled out of my thoughts by a loud knock on the door.

"Hey!" James walked in.

"Hi?" Why was James coming into my room when he was supposed to be getting ready for his party?

"So. I was talking to your mom earlier today and she asked me to get you something you'll need-" OMG what did she ask him to get?

"What did she ask you to get?"

"Let me finish my story. She asked me to pick out something for you. Then she asked me to give you something."

"Well, what is it?"

"This." He held out a dress on a hanger and I fell in love with him I mean IT instantly.

"Wait, so this means I'm going to the party?"

"Yup. Now get ready. We were almost late to the album release party because of you." He smiled and laid the dress on my bed. He turned to leave.

"I talked to Kendall the other day. He said he was going to talk to you. I asked him to forgive you."

"Katie-"

"No. It's my fault he's mad at you."

"No it's not. I kissed you, not the other way around."

"But I kissed you back. It's not like you were forcing me to do something I didn't want to do." He looked at me. I can't believe I fighting with him on who kissed who.

He sighed. "Katie…" He was sitting on the bed at this point. "Thanks for talking to him. I really appreciate it."

"It's the least I could do. With all this grounding I was barely able to get you a present." I went into my closet and pulled out a box.

"What is it?"

"Psh, like I'm going to tell you. It's a surprise and you can't open it until tonight. After the party."

"Thanks Katie. I'm sure I'll love it." He hugged me. It was really nice. I'm surprised it's not awkward between the 2 of us.

We slowly pulled apart, noses touching. This is too much for me. My mind is telling me to think about Brody, but my body, and my heart are telling me to jump on top off him and smother him with kisses. Why does everything having to do with James have to be so complicated?

"You should um… you should get ready." He turned his head away from me, stood up, and walked out the door before I could respond.

James

It's like she's trying to kill me, or really hurt me. Yeah it's probably just the second one. So this whole present thing has gotten me really anxious. I want to open it, or at least peek but Katie asked me not to. Uhh, why does following the rules have to be so boring?

So we were leaving for the party and I made Carlos go get Katie cause I couldn't. She looked really beautiful in the dress I picked out. Yes I, James Diamond, picked out a dress for my best friends little sister. I am officially the worst best friend ever.

The party was awesome, of course, and it was time to open Katie's present. I opened a birthday card "James, Happy Birthday! I Love You." A normally guy would be freaking out because of what she said but she has said it before. I opened the box next. It had a picture frame with a picture of Katie and I hugging. Under the picture frame was a letter from the Cuda Company. It said that they want me to be the new face of Cuda, and that they would be honored to have me attend a few of the Cuda parties they throw around the holidays. I can't believe she got me this.

I went to her room and knocked on her door. When she opened it I picked her up in a hug and didn't let go for a long time. "So you opened my gift?"

"Katie, Thank you, so much. This was by far the best present anyone could have possibly gotten me. And the picture was nice too."

"Well your welcome. I'm happy you liked it."

Katie

James came into the room and hugged me like his life depended on it.

"Katie, Thank you, so much. This was by far the best present anyone could have possibly gotten me. And the picture was nice too." He was slurring a little.

"Well your welcome. I'm happy you liked it."

"Liked it? Katie I loved it. Do you know how long I've wanted to be the face of Cuda?" I looked at him funny.

"Maybe because it's all you ever talk about. Plus I wanted to get you something you would love."

"Well I love it." He hugged me again, as tight as he possibly could, and I loved it.

I love making him happy. I know it sounds weird cause he just wants to be friends and I have an awesome boyfriend who loves me. There's just something about James that gets you hooked. It's not his eyes, yes they are cute, but their not some magical color; his smile is sexy but when you get to know him, you see past that; I would have to say it's his personality. Yeah that sounds like something you would hear in some cheesey romance movie, but it's so true. If he was in High School he would be a mix of the bad boy who all the girls dads wouldnt let them date, the player who was never in a real relationship(which can be good.), but always had girls lining up, and that really nice boy who lives next door; but you never really noticed until he asks you to prom, you say no because you're waiting for that hot popular guy to ask you, then he goes with someone else and you go with the nice next door neighbor who never really caught your eye, then you have a blast and end up dating.

Like i said, everything having to do with James is complicated.

"Katie!"

"What?"

"Do you want to go down to the pool? Bitters is asleep." He was smiling.

It was probably 2 right about now and we were both a little drunk. Kendall snuck some in after my mom left around 10:30. She didn't bother checking Kendall cause we all know he's the 'Good' one. HA!

"Come on, it'll be fun!"

"What the hell lets go! Wait, my mom took all of my bikinis." I frowned

"Then you'll have go go in your underwear." He laughed and walked out.

I snuck into my moms room, I thought I was being sneaky but i was actually making a lot of noise, and took one of my bikinis.

"So you found one?" I nodded. "Aw." He mumbled. He jumped in and I followed. We were in the corner talking now. "So, have you slept with Brody yet?"

"What? Thats none of your business." He pouted.

"Oh come on, I'm your friend. You can tell me anything." He said the last part in a girly voice and I laughed, a lot.

"Yeah, all the time." He gave me a mortified look. "I'm joking. We haven't done it yet. We almost did at the album release party, or at least he thinks we almost did. I'm not ready to do anything with him yet. I don't know how long he's staying. And I don't know why I'm telling you this. Why do you want to know?"

"I want to know because I care about you Katie. And you're telling me because you feel the same way." I just stared at him. If I wasn't drunk I NEVER would have done what I did next. NEVER!
