A/N: Hello again everyone! Before we get started, we would like to thank BigTimeRusher1092 and rusher36 for reviewing the last chapter! As promised, this chapter is where we catch up to the prologue so you all see who has the breakdown (even though it's a little obvious now). We hope you enjoy!

Breakdown

I let out a groan as I woke up, my eyes adjusting to the brightness as I opened my eyes.

After a few seconds, my eyes had adjusted. I looked over towards James' bed, only to find it empty. I didn't think much of it since he usually got up early to go jog.

I went through my morning routine before heading to the kitchen, suprised to find James there.

"Hey." I said, as I made my way over to the fridge.

"Hey." He said curtly before heading for the door.

"Where are you going?" I asked, noticing that he wasn't in his usual jogging attire.

"Out." Was all he said before he walked out, slamming the door behind him.

'What's up with him?' I asked myself, trying to think of anything that could be wrong. That's when my mind went back to last night. Maybe he overheard Logan and I talking…

"What's with the door slamming?" Logan groaned as made his way into the kitchen, still looking half-asleep.

"Uh, James just left and he kinda slammed the door behind him." I said, still staring at the door James had just walked out of.

"Is he alright?" Logan asked, waking up a little after hearing about James.

"I don't know. He seemed a little… on edge." I said, not knowing how else to describe it.

"Well that's understandable. Given what's been going on lately." He said while pouring himself a bowl of cereal.

"Yeah…" I said absentmindedly, my mind still on James.

XxX

It's been about four hours since James had left and even though I knew I should probably be worried, I was more annoyed than anything. Running away seemed to be James' defense mechanism lately and I was starting to get sick of it.

"Why are you looking like that?" Logan asked, giving me a weird look.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking." I said, hoping that he wouldn't pry.

"About?" He asked, forever being the curious one.

"James. I'm just tired of him running off every time something goes wrong. And I know I shouldn't feel like that way, but I do." I said, deciding to vent out my frustrations.

"Kendall…" Logan started, but was cut off by a familiar voice.

"No Logan, let Kendall finish." The voice said in a harsh tone.

I turned around and was immediately face to face with James.

"Um… h-hey James…" I said awkwardly, looking to Logan for support.

"Hey, you got yourself into this situation. You get yourself out." Logan said, holding his hands up in surrender as he slowly backed away.

"Look James, I just… I just don't think you should be running off everytime something goes wrong. I know that it's probably just a defense mechanism, but running away from your problems only makes them worse." I said hesitantly, knowing that James and I had pretty much the same temper. And since he was already upset, the smallest thing could set him off.

"Right, because you're the one that should be giving people advice on how to handle themselves." He said sarcastically.

"What's that supposed mean?" I asked, returning the glare that he was giving me.

"It means that you shouldn't really be giving advice when you can't even deal with your own emotions." He replied, before turning to walk away.

"What's your problem?" I asked while following him, feeling myself starting to get a little angry.

"Oh, I don't know Kendall. Let me see, how did you put it? I'm a ticking timebomb! Maybe it's just about time that I went off." He snapped, making me stop in my tracks.

"James…" I sighed, feeling nothing but regret.

"Save it Kendall. I'll try not to act off anymore. Problem solved. Or maybe I should just leave. I'm sure you and Logan would be better off without me anyway!" He sneered, once again throwing my words back at me.

"Would you stop being so dramatic for a minute and let me explain?!" I yelled, quickly getting fed up with the brunette.

"Guys…" Logan said, trying to intervene.

"Oh, so now I'm too dramatic for you?!" He yelled back.

"Guys!" Logan tried again, but it was too late. I had finally snapped.

"Yes, you are! And you know what? Maybe Logan and I would be better off without you!"

"Kendall!" Logan snapped, immediately looking towards James who looked like he was on the verge of tears.

"J-James, I didn't mean-" But before I could get another word out, he had bolted back towards the Palm Woods.

"Nice going!" Logan snapped, giving me a rough shove before running after James, leaving me alone in Palm Woods Park.

I let out a sigh before following Logan, feeling nothing but guilt.

James P.O.V.

I didn't know why I acted so cold towards Kendall, but I didn't mean it. I was just so frustrated with everything and I just couldn't handle it anymore.

I wiped away a couple of stray tears that had fallen as I made my way to the bathroom, making sure to lock it behind me. I walked over and opened the cabinet, immediately finding what I was looking for.

I knew that Kendall didn't really mean what he said, but he was right.

All I did lately was screw things up. I knew that the guys didn't need me anymore since they had each other. They said that they didn't blame me for what happened… but I knew that deep down, they all thought that it was my fault.

If I hadn't helped Carlos convince the guys to go out while it was raining, then none of this would've happened. Carlos wouldn't be in a coma, I wouldn't feel so depressed and guilty all the time, and Kendall and Logan wouldn't have to deal with me.

I really thought that we would be able to get through this together. I mean, that's what everyone said. But I just can't take it anymore.

Plus, I was pretty sure they didn't want me around anymore, especially after what just happened…

I looked down at the razor, and made my final decision. Smiling a little at the fact that I was finally going to end my suffering.

"James?" I heard Logan call from the other side of the door.

I just ignored him as I stuck my arm out.

"James why is the door locked? What's going on?" I felt a slight pang in my chest at the worry in Logan's voice. But I had to do this.

"James? It's me. Please come out. I want to talk. I didn't mean anything I said." Kendall pleaded.

I put the razor against my skin, shivering a little once I felt the cold blade touch my skin.

"Jay this isn't funny. I'm sorry! Just… please don't do anything stupid!" Kendall pleaded as I dragged the razor across my skin, wincing a little at the pain. But the pain quickly subsided after a few seconds, and was replaced with a feeling that I couldn't quit describe. It was addicting though, euphoric even…

"James I swear if you don't open the door right now I'm going to bust it down!"

I dragged the razor across my wrist once more, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in my wrist that I didn't feel the first time. I looked down and noticed that I was starting to quickly bleed out.

I was struggling to keep my eyes open as my vision started to get blurry. I felt like I was slowly slipping away.

Suddenly the door was tackled down by Kendall. Which was weird because I didn't even remember hearing him trying to knock down the door…

I slowly closed my eyes. The last thing I heard was someone yelling my name before I succumbed to the darkness.

Done. So now you all know that it was James who had the breakdown. This chapter was hard for us to write since neither of us had ever written something like this, but I hope we did it right and lived up to everyone's expectations! You all also got to see what caused the breakdown, basically he bottled up his emotions until he just exploded and (not to sound cheesy and no pun intended) broke down. So now our question to you all is, what do you all think is going to happen next? Please let us know your thoughts and what you all think will happen next in a review! Until next time!
