Kendall's p.o.v
Kendall woke up to his alarm clock blaring obnoxiously in his ear, but he was awake before his alarm clock, a first in his life. But he was determined to get answers from someone that he knew would be able to bend the truth to keep something secret, much like himself, who often lied to make sure that his 'fearless' side remained embedded into people's mind. Kendall looked over to the other side of his shared room, a snort from the bed making Kendall's lips twitch up in a smile as James turned on the bed so his face was facing him, his eyes shut in sleep. A small trail of saliva was running from his open mouth as James snored again, wiping aimlessly at his mouth to wipe away the spit
"Too bad he doesn't know he drools in his sleep" Kendall muttered, throwing the covers from his legs and swinging his legs over the side of the bed, his feet meeting the cold floor, making Kendall shiver in cold. As Kendall tried to stand up he stumbled to the left, not fully awake and crashed to the floor in a heap
"Kendall?" James' sleepy voice slurred, but Kendall sighed
"It's okay James, go back to sleep" Kendall reassured James, who without any other words of encouragement, fell straight back asleep, much to the amusement of Kendall, who watched him
"Sweetie, you okay?" Mama Knight spoke, poking her head through his door, her brown eyes looking troubled from the crash that Kendall had made while getting out of bed. Her auburn hair was in a messy ponytail, small strands of hair framing her face, and Kendall couldn't help but stare at his mother
"I'm okay mum, just getting up" Kendall spoke as he watched his mum look at her watch on her wrist, her eyebrows shooting up in concern
"Are you sick?" Mama Knight spoke, an undertone of worry underneath her voice as she walked into the room, scanning Kendall's face
"No" Kendall spoke a little too fast as his mother walked towards him, kneeling down so she was eyelevel with him, her brown eyes scanning his emerald ones
"Why are you up so early? Not planning something are you?" Mama Knight spoke, a small smile littering her face as if she knew what he was planning today. But Kendall, being the silver tongued one of the group, easily went into a lie to get his mother off his back
"No, just want to get to Gustavo early so we don't get into trouble" Kendall swiftly spoke, biting down on his tongue to stop himself from smiling, but his mother's lips turned into a smile themselves, and Kendall knew that he was in trouble
"Really?" Mama Knight started, tapping her chin with her finger "because I seem to remember Gustavo giving you the day off, because of your upcoming single coming out?" Kendall almost swore but he bit it back
"I . . . err, wanted to find something out" Kendall spoke, feeling stupid for stuttering like an idiot, especially to his mum. The look she was giving him made Kendall think twice about lying another time, considering that he lied to her before, so he kept quiet
"Find out about what?" Mama Knight asked, her eyebrows lost in her auburn hair
"About Mr. Black being back" Kendall muttered under his breath as his bedroom door slammed open, and a hyper Carlos crashed through the door, almost loosing his balance and crashing into his mum. A large, toothy grin was plastered on his face as he glanced from Mama Knight to Kendall
"When's breakfast?" Carlos asked, jumping up and down on the balls of his feet, his voice desperate and pleading with Mama Knight. Mama Knight seemed to ignore what Kendall just said, and he felt relief flood through him, until his mum turned back to Kendall after explaining something to Carlos. The look on her face was stern, her eyes staring straight into Kendall's emerald green eyes as if she meant what she was about to say, and words were lost in Kendall's throat
"Leave him alone. He's probably stressed about something, and he needed to come back to the Palm Woods" Mama Knight gave Kendall one more glare, before drastically changing her tone, a bright smile littering her face as she spun on her heels and left the room
Kendall still decided to spy on Mr. Black, even against his mother's stern warning to leave him alone. He needed to know why Mr. Black was back so early, his mind wouldn't rest until he knew the answer, he couldn't sleep until he knew. A deep gut feeling wouldn't leave him alone. Currently, Kendall was hiding in the plants in the Palm Woods lobby, wearing a grey beanie as he watched Mr. Black talking to Bitters, leaning over the counter again and wearing a million watts smile. Kendall couldn't hear the conversation between the two
"Kendall!" a shrill voice screamed suddenly right in Kendall's ear, making him jump out of his skin and bite his lip hard to suppress a scream of fright. With lightning fast reactions, Kendall swung around, his hands lashing out to grab the front of Carlos' shirt, yanking him into the plants next to him before anyone noticed. Kendall's hand were white with strain as they pressed to Carlos' mouth, and he ignored the muffled sounds coming behind Kendall's hand from Carlos' mouth
"Shh!" Kendall hissed harshly, his words sharp towards Carlos "be quiet" Kendall hissed again, removing his hand from Carlos' mouth and shooting him a dirty look to dare him to do it again
"Dude, what are you doing?" Carlos hissed, trying to make his voice as quiet as Kendall's, but it was still loud
"I'm spying" Kendall spoke in a whisper, looking back to see if anyone had noticed the scream that Carlos had given off moments ago, especially Mr. Black. All of Mr. Black's attention had been to Mr. Bitters, who was looking towards Kendall hidden in the bushes. For a moment, Kendall thought that Bitters would rat him out, but he only glared in his direction before turning his attention to Mr. Black
"Oh can I play!" Carlos shouted again, and Kendall had to tackle him to shut him up and keep him from anyone's line of sight, his hand shoved against Carlos' mouth again, his index finger shoved to his own lips
"Shh!" Kendall hissed, looking back again to see Bitters glaring at him again, but Kendall shot him an apologetic smile, but it didn't make him smile
"Sorry" Carlos whispered after he moved Kendall's hand from his mouth, shooting Kendall an apologetic smile himself
"What are you doing here?" James spoke next Kendall in a calm voice, making him jump and almost giving himself away. He turned to glare at James, but the hazel eyes only looked amused at Kendall's antics
"Dude" Kendall hissed, placing a hand to his heart to stop it from furiously beating, probably giving him away
"Didn't your mum say NOT to spy on Mik-, no sorry, Mr. Black?" James spoke smugly, the corners of his lips turning up in a smile
"No!" Kendall shouted, but this time it was Carlos that threw himself at Kendall to shut him up, slapping his hand against Kendall's lips hard
"I heard her saying it" James spoke simply, but a cold wash of water made James, Carlos and Kendall scream with the cold water splashing against their bodies. James had gotten most of the water, jumping up in the air and giving off a high pitched screech, his hand grasping Kendall's shoulder and pulling him up with James. Carlos was the last one on his feet, but he lost his balance and crashed into Kendall, who in turn, crashed into James, sending them all to the floor in a heap of arms and legs. James was the one on the floor, soaked to the bone in the cold water, Kendall on top of him, their faces too close for comfort. Carlos bumped into Kendall's back, almost making Kendall and James' lips touch if Kendall had not managed to roll off James
"James? Kendall? Carlos? Right?" Mr. Black spoke in a slightly puzzled tone
"Yeah, that's us" James spoke, pushing Kendall off his legs to stand, shivering slightly from the cold
"What were you doing?" Mr. Black questioned, a small chuckle fake to Kendall's ears, making him glance up at him. He had a pale hue to his face, a sheen of sweat coating his face, a haunted look in his eyes
"We were just looking for something" Carlos was quick with an answer, his mouth running before he could walk. But Kendall couldn't help but spit out the question
"Aren'tyoumeanttobeontourwithDarcy ?" Kendall rushed the question, gaining an confused look from everyone, including Mr. Black. He took a while to answer, but as soon as he heard the question, the haunted look vanished, replaced with a look of supreme guilt, the smile on his lips collapsed, and a feeling of horror filled Kendall
"She broke her arm on tour, so she couldn't do the concert" Mr. Black spoke with a strained voice, almost like he was lying straight through his teeth, but Kendall felt anger coursing through his veins. He wanted to lash out at Mr. Black for such a stupid thing, but he was held back by Carlos as he slammed a hand down onto Kendall's shoulder, almost like he could sense the anger that was radiating from his body
"She broke her arm!" James shouted, anger laced with his words "that's not a good enough excuse to cancel a tour!" James finished, throwing up his hands and stomping around the group, muttering under his breath. But Mr. Black was gritting his teeth, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides, his face gaining colour at the anger
"She-" his rant was cut short as a obnoxious ringing blared from Mr. Black's pocket, making him flinch and dig into his pocket frantically as Kendall rolled his eyes
"We can get that concert!" James suddenly spoke up, a happy smile on his face as he started to shout happily, Carlos joining in with James jumping up and down
"James! You can't be serious!" Camille suddenly shouted as she shoved her hands into her pockets, trying to pull out her phone but James kept moving out of her touch, jumping up and down
"Let's talk to Gustavo!" Kendall's tone was angry, but had an underline of excitement
James' p.o.v
"So let me get this straight!" Gustavo boomed "you want to do a concert that a load of famous people are going to want to have a piece of? Just because you're friend didn't do it?" Gustavo bellowed, throwing his hands up, giving Kelly a pleading look
"It sounds like a plan" Kelly rolled her eyes at the boys clasped each other on the back, Carlos clapping James hard in the back, making him flinch and whack Carlos across the head, doing more damage to himself that to Carlos. James flicked his hand, trying to get rid of the pain
"What the hell! Let's do it! Kelly, get in touch with the tour manager immediately and set it up!" Gustavo boomed to Kelly as she nodded frantically, running out of the room. But deep inside James, he felt guilt with taking what was rightfully Darcy's
