Chapter 12 Different Places, Different Lives
Jo POV
It's hard leaving Kendall behind and taking the twins with me. But he has to know that I need help with the twins and I'm not getting it here, so if I go to North Carolina I'll get the help I need. I don't want him to stop following his dream, but I want him to stop breaking his promises that he said he would keep. The twins are heartbroken- they're asking for Kendall, but they won't see him for a while. The only thing they will get from Kendall is his love and phone calls.
"Daddy?" Makenzie asked.
"He's at home." I said.
We arrived at the airport. I paid the driver and got our luggage. Now all we have to do is wait for our plane to go to North Carolina.
End Of Jo POV
Kendall POV
I'm sitting at the apartment feeling guilty. So guilty that I should have kept those promises that I promised to keep. If I kept them Makenzie, Mason and Jo would still be here and we would still be one happy family. I need to think of a way for that to happen again. What can I do to get my family back where they belong? Then it hit me- if I want them back then I need to get my priorities straight. I need to get in my head that family us number one. I know that, but I need to act that way. If I can get my priorities straight and know what matters most and show it and prove it Jo they'll come back. I better get cracking, the sooner they came back the better.

Jo POV
We arrived in North Carolina. The twins are asleep. I have someone helping me with my luggage and bringing it with me to the taxi. I get in the taxi and told him my parents address.
We arrive at my parents house and I pay the driver, get the twins and luggage and head to the door. I knock on the door.
"Jo!" My mom said answering the door.
"Hey." I said coming in to the house.
"What are you doing here?" my dad asked.
"I need a break from California and get away for a while." I said.
"Where's Kendall?" my mom asked.
"In California. We needed a break. I need help with Mason and Makenzie and I'm not getting the help I need there so I came here." I said.
"Did you try to work it out with Kendall?" my dad asked.
"He kept breaking promises that we should have kept and I got tired of it, so I came here." I said. "Plus he was never home."
"Okay stay as long you need, we'll help you." my parents assured.
"Thanks." I said hugging my parents.
I knew that they'll be here to help.
I put the twins to bed and me as myself. It's been a long day.

The Next Day
Kendall POV
I have the day off and I need to get my priorities straight and get my life in order. I'm going to call Jo when I'm ready and know everything is in order. I need to get my work schedule to work with my family schedule or at least get them balanced. I'm going to go to Gustavo later and talk to him about it. Now I need to get my priorities in order. First thing on my list is Family. Family is number one no matter what. School is second. Education and Family are very close together. Friends is third. If my friends need help then I'll be there. Work is fourth. Work and friends switch sometimes if my friends want to hang but I have to work then work is first. Now that I have my priorities in a line and in order I'm going to go to Gustavo.
I arrived at Rocque records. I went in and walked into Gustavo office.
"Gustavo we need to talk." I said.
"About what? You have the day off." Gustavo said.
"Look Gustavo, I have a family now and I need a schedule that works for them. I know we're making a new album and we're recording like crazy, but I have to get a better recording schedule." I said
"Why?" Gustavo asked.
"Because Jo left and took my kids with her. I need to see them. And I broke tons of promises all ready I'm tired of breaking them." I said.
"Fine let us know when you're available to come in and we'll get you recorded then." Gustavo said, surprising me with his calmness. I think he had a soft spot for the kids.
"Thank you." I said leaving his office.
I left his office and now I'm going to go call Jo once I get back to the Palm Woods.
I'm in the apartment ready to call Jo. I dialed her number and heard a couple of rings.
"Hello." Jo said.
"Hey it's me." I said.
"Hey what's up?" Jo asked.
"I'm good. Good news my schedule is up and you can come home now. Plus I have my priorities straight." I said.
"That's great Kendall but I'm not coming back yet." Jo said.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because I need to know that this is true and that doesn't mean you're not going to break more promises. And Mason and Makenzie haven't seen my parents in a while they need to spend time with them." Jo said.
"Can I talk to the twins?" I asked.
"They're napping now but call later and you can." Jo said.
"Okay love you later." I said.
"Bye love you too." Jo said.
We hung up the phone. Let's recap: I work hard and get everything done for her to come home and she's not coming home. At least I have it done now. I'm disappointed though. I really want to see my kids. But who know when that will be?

Jo POV
I finished my call with Kendall. I feel bad but he has to know that I'm serious. Plus the twins need to spend time with my parents. He has to know that working around his schedule and knowing what matters isn't just going to make me come back faster. But who knows when I'll go back or when I'm ready to go back?
