Chapter 11
"How? How is this even possible?" I asked, Pacing back and forth.
"I told you, James, it was an accident." Darcy replied, "I went to the San Diego show last year. I met Kendall after it. I fell in love. I thought he did to...we started talking...and dating...then...well, you can finish the story. Anyway, Danny was the only good thing that came out of all of that..." She started to trail off, seeming to get lost in her thoughts.
I stood in silence, still pacing.
Words couldn't describe how pissed of I was.
"James, I know he's your best frie-"
"That douche bag isn't my friend." I said coldly, "Carlos and Logan aren't either."
I grabbed my keys, angrily stomping down the hall.
"James please don't! You could get hurt!" Darcy said, latching onto my arm.
"Darcy, let go!" I demanded, pushing her off and storming out the door to my car.
I was going to get Danny back no matter what and I sped off to The Palmwoods where Kendall, Logan as Carlos were still living.
Thoughts came back to me. Memories.
Memories of how Kendall was the reason my dreams had been crushed.
He was the reason I was fired.
I gripped the steering wheel tighter, feeling the car accelerate with my anger.
I soon reached the Palmwoods, getting out of my car and slamming the door.
I could feel the shocked looks from the future famous as I walked through the lobby and to the elevator.
Whispers of "I though he was fired." and "Why is James back?" were overheard as I stepped into the elevator.
I arrived at apartment 2J, not even bothering to knock on the door before flinging it open.
"Jays!" I heard Danny's voice say excitedly as he ran to me.
"Hey, buddy!" I said, bending down to pick him up. I held him tightly, not wanting to let go and I felt a few stray tears run down my face.
"I told mommy you would come back..." He said as I hugged him tighter.
"I'm sorry I left, Danny, you know I love you and mommy a lot, right?" I questioned, pulling him away from my body.
He nodded as Kendall entered.
"Danny, go wait in the car." I ordered as I set him down and he ran out the apartment door.
"What are you doing here, James? You're not apart of our family anymore." Kendall said, walking closer to me.
I began walking toward him, "I came to get my son."
"Your son? He's my son, and he always will be." Kendall responded, getting up in my face.
"Do me a favor, Knight, stay out of Darcy' life. She doesn't need you anymore." I shoved him back, obviously making him angry.
"Darcy? You know Darcy? Please tell me you're not together." Kendall asked, getting in my face again.
"We are Kendall, and we're happy so do yourself and everyone else a favor and keep out." I said, pushing him back even harder before starting to walk out the door.
"Whatever, Diamond, just go back to snorting your cocaine. We all know you're a professional at that." Kendall smirked, crossing his arms.
I felt my hands ball into fists at his comment.
It sent me over the edge.
"Listen here, douche bag. You don't know what my life is or how I'm living it so shut the hell up." I said, throwing my fist to the air. Kendall ducked, missing my fist.
Suddenly I felt his fist collide with my face and I could taste blood in my mouth.
I glared at him, touching the blood that was slowly escaping from my lip.
I threw my fist back at him, watching him hold his head and tumble to the ground.
"Stay away from my family." I stated, stepping over him and walking out.
I quickly made it to the car, making sure Danny was strapped in safely before speeding out of the parking lot and down the road.
We made it to the house quickly and Danny ran ahead of me, pushing the door open and running inside.
"See, mommy! I told you he'd be back!" Danny said, running to hug my legs.
Darcy looked at me, noticing my busted lip and partially black eye.
"James! What happened?!" She asked, jumping up from her seat on the couch and running to my side, helping me up stairs.
"I just got into a little fight is all..." I said, trying to hide the pain I was feeling.
I went into the bathroom with Darcy, sitting up on the counter as she started to wipe the blood from my face with a washcloth.
The water stung my wound but looking at Darcy's smile made it better.
I was happy with life.
As she finished doctoring me I stood up, walking to my room.
"I think I'm going to bed. It's been a long day..." I said, yawning as I opened my door t my room.
"James?"
"Yeah?"
"Can, can you sleep with me tonight?...I, I missed you being here last night..." Darcy said, looking to her feet.
I smiled, walking up and kissing her.
"Of course." I said, grabbing her hand as we walked into her room to cuddle before we both fell asleep.
