A/N Hi, guys! I swear, I've been working on this thing ever since the last chapter got put up. I've been so into it and trying to make it perfect, so that's why it's been a wait. We are seriously getting to the end-ish here. I am so excited! Ha ha. In one of the reviews I got, they said they knew what the plan was and told me it into the review. Well, you weren't right, but I was so jealous that you thought of that! Now I think my plan is stupid but I'm still going with it. Anyways, I can't remember who you are who said that but nice! =D
Okay, enough of me rambling. Here is chapter 12! Enjoy! =)
Kendall opened his eyes as soon as James left, staring at the spot where the brunette had been occupying seconds before.
The blonde sighed and stared up at the ceiling, lost in his own thoughts.
And to be truthful, they were kind of depressing. He lost his boyfriend because his stupid ex came and kissed him and then his stupid boyfriend walked in and accused him of wanting her back-
Can Kendall just say, Hell No? Like, seriously. The blonde was over Jo. Sure, it had been hard when she moved away to New Zealand, but then James came along and picked up all the pieces to his broken heart. And did Jo seriously think that Kendall would still be hung up over her?
Um, no. Jo didn't even stay at New Zealand for 3 years. She came back months later for her break, since the shooting was going good. She also decided that Kendall would still be her boyfriend, but the blonde had moved on.
Even though it took him awhile to do so, and even though for a few weeks, no one could say the name 'Jo' or the blonde would collapse on the floor in a pathetic heap, moaning incohorent words, he managed to get over her. With a little help from his friends and family.
Not only did Kendall eventually not collapse on the spot from hearing 'Jo', but he and his friends recorded a new song that did rule the world BIG time but he also got together with James.
It had to have been one of the best days of his life.
Flashback
It was the day they finished If I Ruled The World and in celebration, Gustavo treated the dogs (and Mama Knight and Katie) to a fancy dinner. Everyone was surprised when the always-angry-music producer announced that they'd all be going out that night.
Who could have blamed him though? He was just happy that he managed to write that song before Griffin's deadline date. Gustavo wasn't too keened on the idea of what might have happened if the song didn't turn out so good or didn't even exsist.
But since the song did happen and it turned out to be a pretty good hit, he gave his dogs a treat. And the little girl, Katie; Gustavo bought her a new leather jacket. She was very pleased.
Everyone was in a great mood, all wearing bright smiled on their faces as they enjoyed one another's company.
Kendall remembered James looking very stunning in his suit and tie; the blonde couldn't keep his eyes off the brunette, pretty much throughout the whole time.
And when Gustavo ordered them all fancy ice cream...
Kendall chuckled a bit at the memory.
"James, you have ice cream all over your face." the blonde laughed, amused and wondering how the pretty boy managed to make ice cream all over his face look cute.
Carlos' bubbly laugh rang in the air as he stared at his friend, who now had a pout on his face as he tried wiping the sticky stuff off.
"Carlos, you're no better." Kelly had stated beside the laughing teen. Logan, who was on the other side of Carlos, picked up his napkin and slapped it on the Latino's face.
Katie and Kelly rolled their eyes while Mama Knight fussed over the now bickering boys, Logan claiming that Carlos had the sweet stuff all over his face and that that was the only way to get it off.
Meanwhile, across the table, Kendall had his napkin in his hand and was gently rubbing it on James' cheeks, chuckling.
"You got it all over the place. What are you, five?"
"Only when it comes to pie and ice cream." James replied, licking his fingers.
Kendall remembered his body tingling a bit as he paused his napkin wiping and watched James lick his fingers. Watching how the pink tongue moved in between, up and down and around on his digits. Kendall remembered his body getting hot, sudden thoughts of his best friend turning a bit wild as he thought up other ways James could be using his tongue. He remembered snapping out of it because of Carlos but then he also remembered being so close to James' face and the stuff that happened afterwards...
"Logie, do you SEE the way Kendall is wiping James' face? How he ISN'T slapping the napkin on his face, how he's gently dabbing and NOT slapping?" Carlos took an angry bite of his ice cream while gesturing to the two mentioned boys.
That's when James stopped his licking and met Kendall's eyes. And noticed how red his face looked. He also noticed how attractive the boy's eyes were. How his whole face looked attractive.
And then both boys seemed to realize how close their faces were and they both jerked away from each other embarrassed.
Even though the two were a bit awkward during the rest of dinner, the rest of the night turned out great.
Kendall closed his eyes, tired of looking at the ceiling and continued to reminisce about that night.
Everyone came home and immediately got ready for bed. The day had been a long one and it had finally caught up to them, especially the boys. So each person went to their respective rooms, ready for a good nights sleep.
Except James wanted to talk. And of course, Kendall would do anything for his brunette friend so they talked. About the day, the crazy events that occured in their day (like James getting dumbped by Blonde Jennifer but then getting back together with her just so he could dump her), about their new song, about how they even got to be famous and living like they were. The two just talked and talked and somehow they were on the subject of Jo and Kendall kind of broke down.
"I-I don't know what t-to do, Jamie." Kendall hiccuped, his hands clutching James raggedy t-shirt, head burried against the brunette's shoulder.
"Shh, Kendall. It's okay." Kendall opened his eyes as he remembered James soft, gently voice whispering against his hair. James pretty much held the sad blonde in his arms through the night.
Well, after he'd confessed his crush on the blonde ever since they came to L.A. Kendall remembered being incredibly shock as he listened to James' confession. How James dated a bunch of girls to get his mind of him, how when Jo came along, he backed away (from Kendall), seeing that the blonde was truly happy with her and if he really liked Kendall, he'd let him go.
Kendall remembered all too entirely on what happened next.
"Kendall." James gently tilted said boy's tear stained face up. Their eyes met and James continued. "I would like to say that I'm sad that Jo left, but I'm not. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you're missing her, but if you give me a chance, I won't ever leave you, never hurt you." the brunette paused as Kendall stared up at him with watery eyes. "I'm not saying that Jo did this to you on purpose, but please. I've held back for too long. I want you. I need you. Please, Kendall, say that you'll be mine. James leaned forward and brushed his nose against the other's, his eyes closed. "Please." James whispered one more time before falling silent and letting the blonde take over, word wise.
Kendall's heart was beating fast in his chest and his fists that were pressed against James' chest tightened. It was a little too much for him; James, his best friend since forever, just confessed to him. But the blonde trusted James, and he wouldn't lie; he's thought about having James being more than just a best friend to him multiple times. Kendall told his 3 friends that he was bisexual at the age of 15. James already knew that he was, but didn't say anything. But he did when Kendall confessed. So it really wouldn't be a problem if the two did start dating. And Kendall needed to get over the fact that Jo was gone. And that James was here, willing- wanting to be with him.
James felt his heart drop when Kendall hadn't spoke. He was about to pull away when he felt something soft press against his lips. Kendall pulled away shyly and whispered, "Okay."
James felt his heart racing and he repeated what the blonde just said. "Okay?" Kendall nodded and bit his lip.
"Okay. I want to be with you too, James." Kendall looked down, a blush spread over his cheeks. James tilted Kendall's chin up and connected their lips without a second thought.
The kiss, Kendall remembered, was amazing. It was deep and slow and sweet. He could practically still feel the way James' tongue mapped out every inch of his mouth. He could still remember the taste that was James.
Kendall felt his eyes beginning to water. He really missed James. And James told him that he'd never hurt him, never leave him.
Well you asshole, Kendall thought bitterly, you lied.
Kendall felt a headache coming so he decided that an actual nap would suit him just fine at the momemt.
But apparently, Logan and Carlos had different plans, for they bursted out of Kendall and Logan's shared room like there was a fire or something and ran into the living room.
"Are you guys okay-"
"Kendall! Is Jo still here at the Palm Woods? Do you know where she's at? And where the hell did James go? He needs to be here!" Logan gushed out all in one breath.
"Um-" Kendall started but got cut off by Carlos.
"Logan, what are you talking about?" the short boy asked, staring at his excited looking boyfriend. Kendall was staring as well, wondering why the short brunette boy would think he'd know where his ex was. He didn't care about Jo and had no intentions on seeing her in any time.
"I just figured out that if we get Jo to confess that she was the one that kissed Kendall, that Kendall is innocent, then James would want to get back together with him. Also, we'd need you both to tell us what exactly happened in that room so we can hear both stories. And then James will realize that Kendall has been telling the truth from the start, that Jo was the one who initiated that kiss and that he needs to get his pretty ass back together with Kendall!" Logan took a breathing break while Kendall and Carlos thought over this.
Carlos was the one who spoke first, a smile gracing on his lips. "Logie, have I ever told you that you're very smart?" Carlos pecked the blushing brunette on the cheek. "Not to mention very attractive." Carlos winked and Logan just shrugged, the pink blush never leaving his face.
Logan gave a little cough before turning to look at the blonde on the couch. "So what do you think?"
Kendall thought that the smart boy's plan sounded pretty good. The only problem would be getting James to actually believe everything. The pretty boy seemed to think that eveything the blonde did is now a scam or something. And he had no clue where Jo was at the moment. Nor did he care.
And what if Jo lied? James would most likely believe her, since whatever Kendall says or does is a scam.
Kendall sighed and moved into a sitting position. "As much as that sounds like a wonderful plan Logan, I don't think it will work."
Carlos glanced at his boyfriend, practically seeing him deflate. "Why not?" the brunette asked, sounding very let down.
Kendall sighed again. "Look. It sounds great-"
"Then why don't we do it?" Carlos cut in, staring at the blonde. "I mean, we won't know if we don't try, right?"
"Yeah, no. See, here's the thing. I do know -or at least I think I'm pretty damn sure- that this won't work. You know why? James hates me. Jo hates me because I wouldn't get back together with her because I was with James. And James is with Bri. And I don't even know where Jo is! It's just not- You guys shouldn't- It's not worth it, okay?" Kendall huffed and layed back down.
"Yes it is, Kendall." Carlos walked over to said boy and pulled him up. "You love James, right?"
Kendall nodded. "Yeah but he hates me-"
"Only because he thinks that you cheated on him-"
"Which I didn't and he's stupid for not believing me! " Kendall bursted out.
"Right. So don't you want to try and prove that he was wrong? This whole time? By getting Jo to confess that she was the one that kissed you and not the other way around, don't you think that it's worth a shot?" Carlos rubbed Kendall's shoulder while the blonde slowly nodded.
"Good." Logan said. "So let's go and find Jo."
"Hahaha, that rhymed, Logie." Carlos laughed, making said boy and the blonde smile. Good ol' Carlitos. Then Kendall frowned.
"Guys. I don't even know where Jo is. I'm not even sure if she's staying here or not either."
"Don't worry," the smart boy said as he took his boyfriend's hand and pulled him to his feet. "Camille will know."
"How do you know that?" Carlos asked, his voice a bit clipped. Kendall stood up as well, trying to hide hold back a smile. Carlos didn't give Logan a chance to comment. He just marched to the door, opened it and disappeared through it.
"Wh-what?" the smart boy was very confused at the sudden change of attitude of his boyfriend. "Did I say something-?" Kendall just shook his head, knowing that Logan would catch on to Carlos' jealousy.
He patted the shorter boy's shoulder and followed the Latino out. Logan was followed from behind, still a bit confused.
Line Break
After searching the entire Palm Woods, the three teen boys went outside to look for their drama mama actor friend, Camille. "She must be in the park or something-" Logan started but got cut off Camille was suddenly in front of him in one of her bizzare outfits.
SLAP! Both Carlos and Kendall winced as Logan's head snapped to the side, a red spot already beginning to form. "How could you?" Camille shrieked. "After all the love and undevoted attention I gave to you, you still decieved me!" tears ran down the actress' face and she made an awful sound between a dying cat and a cow being ran over.
"Uh, Camille-" Logan tried, clutching at his stinging face.
"AH!" the girl screamed. "You can't even call me by my name-"
"Camille-" Logan tried again and Camille held up her hand.
"Just don't, Raymond. Just don't-"
"Yo, Camille!" Kendall shouted and the girl turned around.
"Yeah?" she asked, completely back to normal.
"We need your help." Logan said and Camille nodded.
"Sure, I'm listening."
"We need to find Jo. Do you know where she's at?" the short brunette asked.
Camille nodded. "Yeah, she's staying at my place. Why?"
"Oh thank goodness. Okay, can you take us to her? We need to seriously talk."
"Why? Did something happen?" the actress questioned, resting a hand on her hip.
"Yeah, something like that. Look. It's really urgent that we talk with her now." Logan said and Carlos nodded.
"Well, okay. But I want to know what happened!" Camille said as she started making her way back to the Palm Woods. The boys followed her and Kendall spoke up, surprising Logan and Carlos.
"Long story short: Jo kissed me and James walked in and thought that I kissed her so he broke up with me. We're going to get Jo to tell all of us that it was her that kissed me and hopefully James will get back with me."
Camille frowned. "Why'd Jo do that? Were you guys lost in the moment or something?"
"No and because she was mad that I wouldn't take her back." Kendall sighed.
"And James just walked in at that moment and thought that you kissed her? And you told him that you didn't and he didn't believe you?"
The blonde nodded and mumbled, "Pretty much."
"What an idiot." was Camille's simple reply. It made Kendall smile and he nodded, chuckling a bit.
"Yeah, pretty much."
"So, is James meeting you guys there or what? 'Cause I don't see James anywhere." Camille said as they walked in the lobby.
"Crap. James doesn't know about this. Uh, Carlos, could you go find James?" Logan asked his frowning boyfriend.
"What, so you can get some alone time with her?" the pouting boy jerked his thumb at Camille who put her hands on her hips.
"Excuse me?" she asked in a dangerous tone of voice the same time Logan started spluttering.
Kendall rolled his eyes. "Guys, please don't start."
"You heard him, Camille," Carlos snapped and said girl scowled. "Don't start." Logan rested a hand on Carlos' shoulder. Carlos brushed it off.
"Carlos, that's you who's starting stuff." Kendall stated and Camille snapped, "Yeah Carlos. Quit starting stuff."
Kendall groaned and threw his hands in the air.
"Guys, stop it. You're both being ridiculous." Logan protested as his boyfriend and ex glared at each other. "And you are now causing a scene."
It was true. Some people in the lobby were staring at them. "Good. Then they can all see me taking down this chicked head." Camille growled as she glared at Carlos.
Carlos gasped. "Chicked head? Did she just call me a chicken head?" Kendall rolled his eyes.
"Guys. Quit this now. You both are friends, remember? Carlos, Logan loves you, quit acting all drama papa on us. Camille isn't going to take him away from you. Camille, Carlos doesn't mean any of the things he said. He's just being a jealous idiot."
"I know-" the girl started but got cut off from Kendall.
"Okay, well if you know, quit taking the bait. You guys are helping me prove that I am not a cheater and I don't need you guys fighting. So please. Carlos, go find James and bring his pretty ass to room-"
The blonde looked at Camille who said, "Room 3D."
"-Room 3D so I can explain that everything was a big understanding." Kendall pressed a hand to Camille's back and one to Carlos' back. He nudged them forward until they were face to face.
"Now!" the blonde clapped his hands together. "Make up."
"I'm sorry, Camille that I-"
"Good! Very good, now Camille's turn." the blonde interrupted as he stared at Camille.
"Carlos, I'm sorry that I called you a chicken head-"
"Greaat. Now that we are all friends again, can we please go?" Kendall asked and Camille rolled her eyes.
"Come on then, Mr. Impatient." she grabbed Kendall's shirt collar and dragged him to the elevators.
Logan and Carlos stayed behind, the latter red faced and embarrassed. "You were jealous." it wasn't a question, it was a statement. Actually, Carlos thought Logan sounded a bit surprised.
"You were jealous?" now it was a question and Carlos gave a small nod, staring at the floor.
Logan stepped forward and gently rested his hands on his blushing boyfriend's cheeks, tilting his face up so that their eyes could meet. "Why?"
"I- I mean- I-" Carlos didn't know what to say. He merely shrugged. Logan shook his head and leaned forward, capturing the smaller boy's lips with his own.
"Crazy," the smart boy mumbled against his boyfriend's mouth. "Absolutely crazy." his tongue traced the outer lines of Carlos' lips, asking for entry. Carlos hummed and opened his mouth for Logan's tongue. Carlos moaned when their tongues brushed against each other and he wrapped his arms around Logan's neck.
"OY!" Camille shouted all the way from the elevators. "YO YA KISSING BOYS!" the people who didn't notice Logan and Carlos sucking face now looked around for them when Camille shouted that.
The two blushing boys moved apart and Camille jerked her hip out while Kendall tried not to burst out laughing.
"We have a mission here. NO distractions please. Carlos, go find James, Logan, get over here!"
Said boy pecked his boyfriend on the lips once more before rushing over to the pair standing by the elevators.
Carlos smiled before heading to the stairs.
Line Break
"So how do you guys want to do this?" Camille asked as the three of them stood outside her apartment door.
"We're just going to talk to Jo about the kiss when James gets here and just hope that she confesses, I guess." Kendall replied and watched Camille unluck the door.
"Do you guys want me to stay or-?"
"Um well-" Logan started but Kendall cut him off.
"Yes. Please." Kendall didn't know why he wanted Camille there, but he just felt at ease with the dramatic actress.
Camille nodded and entered the apartment. "Jo, you here?" she called through the silent apartment.
"Yeah, I'm here!" Jo's girlie voice answered back and Kendall felt his heart clench. There was nothing but anger towards the girl he used to love. She caused a fight between him and James which left James leaving Kendall. And for what? Because he loved James and didn't want to get back together with her.
"Can you come here for a second, please?" Camille snapped her fingers together and pointed to the couch as she walked to a hallway. Logan and Kendall took the gesture as Camille saying, 'Sit.' So they did.
The boys watched as Camille leaned against the wall as she talked with someone behind it. Then that someone walked around Camille and entered the living room.
Camille turned around, her arms crossed over her chest.
Jo stood there surprised as she stared at Kendall and Logan. The two stared back blankly and Kendall said in an almost bored tone of voice, "Hey, Jo."
A/N Did anyone else think that that was going to happen? Ahaha, well there you all go! Hope you liked it and please review! They make me smile. =)
Love and Heartz
