So I finally finished this story and I'm really excited for you guys to read it! Just like my other books with Kenny, this will NOT be the only story about Serenity :) I'm super excited and I hope you guys are too ;)

I do not own Big Time Rush.

Chapter 14

"You made it!" Katie exclaimed, hugging me.

"Hey, Kates!" I yelled over the loud music in Russell Brand's beach house.

"Katie!" someone called. I looked over to see Russell Brand motioning for Katie to come.

"Gotta go! The job awaits," Katie smiled, running over to him. I looked after her in disbelief- a job. With Russell Brand. That girl.

"Serenity!" Camille exclaimed after running into me. Her eyes were wide.

"Hey, Camille," I smiled.

"Hey," she said nervously.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. But, um, just warning you, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" I asked. She just looked at me with sorrowful eyes and walked away.

Shaking it off, I turned my attention to Russell Brand, who had started screaming very loudly.

"Let's welcome, Big Time Rush!" Russell was followed shortly by applause. I grinned as I faced the stage. As usual, the boys performed fantastically. It was always so much fun watching the boys perform; they always looked like they were having a blast.

I watched as Kendall spotted Scarlet, waving to her and blowing a loving kiss to her. Then James waved to a girl in the crowd, who blew a kiss to him. Brushing it off as nothing, I kept dancing to Big Time Rush's version of "Dance, Dance, Dance" by the Beach Boys.

Once the song ended, I pushed past the crowd to find James. I found him talking to Kendall, Logan and Carlos- with his arms wrapped around the girl who blew him a kiss.

"So I take it she's not a mermaid?" Kendall asked James jokingly.

"Nope," James said proudly. "I can kiss her and I won't turn into a mermaid." The girl smiled and turned to kiss him.

"Ahem," I said. James jumped and looked at me; his eyes widened. He pushed the girl away and looked at me as if nothing had happened.

"Serenity!" he exclaimed, forcing a guilty smile.

"James, who is she?" I asked.

"I'm Annie; James's girlfriend," she smiled proudly.

"Girlfriend," I mouth to James, trying as hard as I could not to glare.

"Who are you?" Annie asked.

"A friend," I hissed. I walked up to James and said, "Girlfriend. Really?"

"No, Serenity, please. Let me explain."

"There's nothing to explain, James! You need to choose: me or her." James was silent as he looked back and forth from Annie to me.

"Any guy who has to take this long to choose isn't worth it," I thought angrily. As tears filled my eyes, I leaned closer to James.

"You know what, you can have her. It's not worth it," I said quietly. James looked at me, worry filling his eyes. I had hoped he would say he chose me. But he didn't say anything.

"Screw you, James Diamond. Screw you," I hissed, and walked away before tears filled my eyes.

I vaguely heard my friends screaming at James, then turning to their boyfriends who tried to defend their friend. I couldn't turn around and tell them to stop screaming. They probably deserved it.

I decided to take a walk down the beach to clear my head. I started questioning why James would cheat on me. The only reason I could think of was I wasn't good enough for him; I wasn't pretty enough. James was all about the looks, after all.

Taking a deep breath, I blinked my tears back.

"Serenity!" James called. I groaned silently and quickened my pace.

"Serenity, please, wait!"

"Leave me alone, James!" I screamed, turning around.

"Serenity, please!"

"No, James. I don't want to talk."

"Serie," he said, running in front of me. He stopped and put his hands on my shoulders, forcing me to stop as well. I looked away. He put his hand under my chin and forced me to look at him.

"Have you been crying?" he asked quietly.

"Yeah. That's kind of what girls do when they find out their boyfriend cheated on them," I growled.

"Look, I get it. You're mad."

"Got that right," I hissed.

"But you really should be blaming yourself for this."

"Why? Because I'm not pretty enough for you? Because I'm not good enough?" I hissed.

"What?" James asked me in disbelief. "You actually think you're not pretty enough?"

"Just get on with it," I answered quietly, looking away.

"You think I don't notice all that flirting with that guy?" James asked.

"What guy?"

"That guy back in Minnesota! The one who always writes love notes to you and you said was the cutest boy in the world."

"You mean Michael?"

"That's his name," James mumbled.

"You think I like him?" I exclaimed. "James! Michael's a four year old boy back at the orphanage!"

"Orphanage?" James asked, confused.

"Forget that!" I exclaimed.

"Why didn't you at least ask me about it first before going off and dating some other girl?" I asked.

"No one cheats on James Diamond!" James yelled.

"You are so self-centered!" I screamed.

"Oh, yeah? Well if you hate that so much, why did you even go out with me?"

"I don't even know any more!" I exclaimed. "Why did I ever say 'yes' to you?!"

"I don't know! Why did I even ask you out? You're not even my type!"

"Yeah, like you're way out of my league," I exclaimed sarcastically.

"Exactly! There's no way you and I could ever be a good couple." I had to admit, I was a bit taken aback.

"So what's the point of you even liking me if I'm that bad?" I exclaimed.

"I don't know what I was thinking!" James exclaimed.

"Why even bother talking to me then?" I asked, quieting my voice.

"Serenity, a-are you crying?"

I wiped a tear from my cheek, without answering.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."

"Well, you did. It's too late now," I answered quietly.

"No, Serie, don't say that."

"You know, he was right," I said, trying to force a smile but failing.

"Who?"

"Him. Mr. Cooper."

"How?"

"He used to say love doesn't exist; I shouldn't even bother with love because all that will come out of it is a broken heart."

"Serenity, don't bring him into this."

"That's all that came out of this, James! A broken heart! And now I'm left to pick up the pieces."

"Serenity…" James trailed off.

"Go away, James. What done is done. Nothing you say will make this better."

"Please," James said, his voice cracking slightly.

"You win, James. I'm giving up."

"Giving up?"

"On you. Good luck with Annie."

"But-"

"No, James," I interrupted. "Just walk away. Make this easier. Just… walk away."

Without another word, James slowly walked away.

I should've known better than to give my heart to a player. But something about the way he treated me and talked to me made me feel almost special. Maybe that's just what a player does. He wins you over, makes you feel special, then dumps you- rips your heart to shreds and leaves you to pick up the pieces.

But James didn't seem like that kind of person. I mean, I could've sworn I saw a tear make its way down his cheek. But that wasn't possible. James Diamond doesn't cry over girls. He's too "cool" for that. And he definitely wouldn't cry over me… Right?

Right. I'm giving up on love. He was right. He was always right.

Sad sad sad :( Next chapter will probably be up tomorrow. Review please :)
