Chapter 10- I Want You Back
It had been a week since the day Kelly and Carlos's secret relationship was discovered and no one at the BTR camp had been happy. Carlos was depressed over his breakup with Kelly, while Kelly was doing her best to avoid contact with the boy for fear of bringing her feeling towards him back. She did her best to ignore her feelings and convince herself that it was better this way but she couldn't help it. She still loved him.
"Dogs." Gustavo sighed turning on the microphone so the four boys in the recording booth could hear him. "That was horrible. Just go home." He said getting up and leaving the room. After everything that happened between Kelly and Carlos, Gustavo had been uncharacteristically quiet, like he was actually afraid to hurt someone's feelings.
The four boys put the headphones out and filed out of the recording booth. James, Kendall and Logan had been worried about their friend. They did their best to comfort him but the mood between the four of them was changed. No one seemed happy.
Kelly shuffled through a pile of papers and sneaked a glance up at the boys as the left the room, Carlos lagging behind the rest.
"Carlos." She said softly, breaking the silence.
Carlos stopped and looked at Kelly. His friends kept going, not noticing Carlos wasn't behind them.
"How are you?" Kelly asked.
"Not great." Carlos sighed rubbing the back on his neck.
"So I was at the Palmwoods the other day dropping off new lyrics sheets and saw you talking with Stephanie." Kelly casually said.
"So?" Carlos asked confused.
"So are you going to ask her out?" Kelly suggested.
"Why would you even suggest that?" Carlos asked hurt. "You know I love you."
"Carlos." Kelly sighed. "You need to just forget about me. We can't do this."
"Dam it, Kelly. I don't care about what anyone says. I don't care about what they say we can and can't do. I love you. More than anything." Carlos said frustrated.
"I know but…" Kelly said.
"But nothing. I want you back. I want to be together again." Carlos said.
"You don't think I do too." Kelly said frustrated.
"Well what should we do?" Carlos said. "I can't live like this and I know…"
Carlos was interrupted by Kelly when she pressed her lips against his. Carlos grinned as she pulled away.
"I want you." Kelly admitted, unable to take anymore sadness. "I'm sick of the games. I don't care what people say."
"Good." Carlos said pulling her into a hug. "Cuz I'm not leaving."
"Well isn't this just adorable?" A voice boomed from the doorway. "I just came back to get my car keys." Gustavo said entering the room.
"Look I don't care what you have to say." Carlos said stepping towards Gustavo. "I love Kelly, ok? And nothing you say is going to break us up."
"Well good because all of you have been really sad and depressed and it's really starting to bug me." Gustavo said. "And I just want to say I'm… well I mean… I'm sorry ok?" He finally spit out. "I shouldn't have interfered with your lives. I can tell you too…really like each other and I was wrong. As for the media, whatever happens, happens. As long as you two are willing to take the heat, I believe you boys are good enough to succeed even with bad press here and there."
"We are. I love her and I don't care what anyone says." Carlos said looking into Kelly's eyes. Kelly smiled for the first time in a week as Carlos wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Again. I'm sorry. I really am." Gustavo said sincerely, for probably the first time in his life. "Just don't get all kissy-face in front of me."
The couple just smiled as Carlos pulled her close and kissed the top of her head.
