A/N I am SO sorry this took awhile. I was having some troubles with this chapter. Not because of a writer's block but because I was deciding whether or not if this should be the last chapter... you guys go ahead and read but please read my AN at the end of this. I hope you enjoy this! =)
Camille looked around the silent and tense room. "Ugh. Do I need to start this?" the actress didn't wait for an answer. She pointed to Kendall and said, "You. Tell James why we are all here."
Kendall glanced at James and then back to Camille. "He should know why we're here but he doesn't care."
Camille rolled her eyes. "Then make him care!"
"You try to make him care!" Kendall snapped and got off the couch. "He doesn't believe me! He fucking despises me for something that I haven't even done! Jo is the one who kissed me and I've been telling him that from the start." Kendall turned and glared at James.
Everything inside Kendall just kind of bursted out. Everything has been ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. His heart has been broken and his friends have been trying to get him back together with James, but said boy doesn't want anything to do with him. At all.
And Kendall is pretty sick of everything, pretty much. Why should he have to get his stupid ex to tell his other stupid ex that he didn't kiss her? It shouldn't have to be this way. James should have trusted Kendall.
He should have trusted me the blonde thought brokenly. But he was done. Through. Through with all this dramatic bullshit.
"Look, at this point, I don't give a fuck! Okay?" Kendall ran his fingers through his hair and let his eyes meet the beautiful hazel ones. "I'm done. If you think that I cheated on you, by all means, go ahead. If you think that I'd want to kiss her-" Kendall pointed at Jo who frowned, "-By all fucking means, go ahead. If you want to think that I didn't love you and wanted to get back with her, just go right ahead. But I know that I'd never ever want to hurt you or cheat on or anything stupid like that. I loved you, James, and I'm a fucking idiot because I still love you, but I am done. Obviously you don't want me and think that I'm a liar and a cheater. Call me whatever. I know that I'm neither of those things. You, I guess just don't trust me. And you seemed to have moved on and are happy with her-" Kendall pointed at Bri this time. "-So I guess I just need to and that's that." Kendall let his arms drop at his sides while he stared at James.
The rest of the teens were staring at Kendall. "Wait wait wait." Jett cut in and then glanced at cautiously at Camille. Said girl didn't say anything, just stared at him like the rest of the group. "I'm a bit confused on what's happening here. And I don't think I want to understand, but where does Jo come in kissing Monster Brow?"
Kendall slumped his shoulders. "I wish you'd stopped calling me that."
"So Jo really kissed Kendall?" James asked in a small voice, his hazel eyes still on the blonde. Kendall just stared back at him, no words coming out of his mouth.
"Yes, James. Jo really was the one who kissed Kendall. We've all been trying to tell you this from the start." Logan said, his voice hard.
Carlos nodded beside the smart boy. "We really did, James. You didn't listen." James stood up and turned to stare at Jo.
"Is this true? You were the one who kissed him? Not the other way around?" Kendall felt something inside him snap.
"Oh, so you still don't believe us?" the blonde scoffed and shook his head. "We've all been telling you that it was her, what difference does it make if she says that she did it? Why can't you just get that I-"
"Yeah, I did it. I kissed him." Jo's voice cut through Kendall's rant and everyone stared at the other blonde.
"What?" Jett jumped to his feet and walked closer to Jo. Said girl stood up and crossed her arms over her chest.
"You heard me. I kissed Kendall. I did. You know why? Because he wouldn't take me back. Because he was so in love with you and wanted everything to do with you. It wasn't fair. I loved him, he was mine first."
"W-what?" James stomped over to Jo and growled, "What did you want him to do, Jo? Wait for you?" James scoffed. "You must be crazy if you thought that he'd wait for you for three years. And if you really loved him, you wouldn't have kissed him and tear our relationship up!"
"WHAT?" Jo screeched. She poked James hard in the chest and snapped, "So what if I kissed him? YOU were the one who walked in and concluded that HE was the one who kissed ME! YOU are the one who tore your relationship apart. Not me."
James opened his mouth to yell his response when those words started flowing around in his head. You were the one who walked in and concluded that he was the who kissed me. James swallowed and realized that, yes, he had jumped to conclusions that Kendall was the one who kissed Jo.
He was the one who pretty much tore their relationship apart. "And, please, correct me if I'm wrong, but did you not even give Kendall a chance to explain his side of the story? Or did you just not care in your head?"
James gritted his teeth and hissed, "Shut up. If you still hadn't kissed him, none of us would be here now. I'd still be with him-"
"What about me?" everyone looked to see Bri making her way over to James, anger shown on her face. "What about me, huh? Was I just a fuck buddy or did you actually care for me?"
James swallowed hard and glanced at Kendall who looked away. "Um-"
Thankfully Camille cut in. "What about you? You aren't anyone special. In fact, get out my apartment."
Bri made an expression of a fish out of water; her mouth kept closing and then opened again. She stared at Camille with a surprised face and started spluttering.
"Yo, the door is that way." Camille jerked her thumb in the direction of the door but Bri stood where she was.
"A-are you serious?"
"Don't ask stupid questions. Get. Out." Camille ordered and took a step forward. That made Bri move and she stared at James.
"You and I will be talking later." she promised but James shook his head.
"There isn't going to be a later, Bri." James had his eyes fixed on Kendall who refused to look at James. "There's never going to be a later."
"Hahahaha REJECTED." Camille barked with laughter and she shoved the shocked blonde out the door. "Buh-bye biotch." and with that, Camille slammed the door in Bri's face. "Okay, back to business, guys. Kendall? What do you have anything to say- Hold on, Jett is still here."
Camille took a hold on the handsome boy's ear and pulled him to the door before opening and pushing him out.
Jo started protesting when Camille locked the door but earned a glare from the other actress. "I don't have anything to say." the blonde said and walked to the door.
"Wait, Kendall." Logan walked after his friend. Carlos was on his heel. Both of them looked concerned.
"No. No, I'm done waiting." the blonde shook his head, eyes starting to water with tears. "I waited and pleaded with James to take me back. To listen to me, to trust me and hear me out- But he never did- You never did!" Kendall shouted as he stared at the brunette. "Call me crazy, but I had a damn voice in my head telling me that you'd be happier and better off without me. That's why I cut myself. That's why. To make you happy while I was in misery. I loved you though and still do and would do anything for you. But-" Kendall took a deep breath while the other people in the apartment eyes' widened.
"W-what, Kendall? That's stupid!" James protested. "That wouldn't have made me happy-"
"Bullshit." Kendall snapped and walked over to the brunette until they were inches away from each other. "Anything to get away from the 'cheater' would have made you happy. You started dating everyone right after you dumped me! Do you know what that did to me? And I tried over and over again, telling you that I didn't kiss Jo-" Kendall fell silent all of a sudden and Carlos took a step forward.
"Kendall?" the Latino asked quietly and Kendall shook his head. Turning on his heel, the blonde went to the door.
"This- this-" Kendall's voice shook and James walked forward, making Kendall back away. "This was all fucking stupid. It was ridiculous. I- I-" Kendall opened the door but a tan hand closed it and he turned to see James standing behind him.
"Kendall-" the brunette started but Kendall shook his head furiously.
"No! Don't. Leave me alone. I'm through. I'm done. I don't want- I dont-" Kendall started stammering as tears flowed down his face and cheeks.
James stepped forward and wrapped his arms around the trembling blonde. "No! Don't touch me- Don't-" Kendall tried pulling away from the brunette but the older boy was strong. He tightened his old on Kendall and pulled him closer to him.
"Kendall," James whispered into his hair but Kendall wasn't listening. The blonde boy was still struggling against body that held his.
What the hell was James doing? He didn't want anything to do with Kendall before and now he's holding the blonde as if his life depended on it. Kendall felt more tears slide down his face and he hiccuped while pushing against James' chest.
James felt like... well he didn't know what to feel like. Or think. Kendall had been telling the truth the whole time. And he didn't believe him. At all. And what was Kendall saying, about him trying to kill himself? Because he thought that it'd make James happy? No, it wouldn't have.
You sure wouldn't have cared though. James froze when he heard the voice.
Yes, I would have- Ugh, I don't have time for you. You aren't even real. Just my imagination. This is crazy. You're crazy. Go the fuck away the brunette thought angrily.
The voice didn't answer and James sighed. A soft sniffle grabbed his attention and he looked down at the blonde boy in his arms. The older boy's heart clenched at the sight of him. He had done this to Kendall. He had made Kendall miserable and for what? Accusing him of cheating when the blonde wasn't the one who initiated that stupid kiss. He should have known. But Kendall was getting over Jo, so when said girl came back, to James, it just made sense if the blonde kissed her.
Actually... James realized that it could have gone the other way around, which it did, but when Jo came back, she could have just kissed Kendall because she missed him. And she did kiss him, James thought, but for revenge. And he just happened to walk in on that exact moment and bam. The thought that Kendall had kissed her made complete sense. Even the way the boy was holding her-
Well... not exactly holding her. James remembers that Kendall did have his arms on Jo's waist, but now, James could see the scene in his head, that Kendall seemed to be pushing the girl away, not holding her close to him...
Flashback to the mother fucking day that Jo kissed Kendall
It was night time at the Palm Woods, but no one was sleeping. At least not the teens. They were having a small party that Camille decided to have on behalf of Jo coming back from New Zealand. The actress had invited only a few people, mostly close friends like Sarah and Stephanie.
The small party was in the lobby which was cool because you weren't suppose to having parties down there past 8 o'clock. And, hello. A party in the lobby at night? The teens enjoyed themselves a lot.
James and Kendall, who'd been secretly dating for awhile were at the refreshment stand. (Yes, Camille got them a refreshment stand)
"Hey Kendall, can I talk to you for a minute?" both boys turned around to see Jo standing there, a green plastic cup in her hand.
James tensed up, his hazel eyes going from warm to cold as he stared hard at the other blonde. Kendall nodded and handed James his cup before following the girl. The blonde would have given his boyfriend a reassuring kiss on the cheek, but no one knew that they were together.
James stared after their retreating figures, a deep scowl on his pretty face. A hand clapped him on the shoulder and he turned to see Carlos standing there, a care free smile on his face. "Don't worry, James. Kendall is totally over Jo. You have nothing to worry about."
James just nodded and tried not to be too bothered by Jo taking his boyfriend away. But he couldn't help it when after a good six minutes past (and no, he wasn't counting. Of course not.) and his green eyed beauty didn't appear, that he went to search for him, going in the same direction he saw the blonde pair go.
The tall boy walked down the hall and opened the first door he saw. He then wished he didn't. The sight before him was Kendall and Jo kissing, Jo's hands gripping on Kendall's shoulders while said boys' hands were on her waist.
Little did James know that at the time, Jo was gripping on Kendall's shoulders so that it was hard to get her off him. And Kendall hands were on her waist, but because he was pushing her away.
James bit his lip at the memory. He'd been angry but if only he had listened to Kendall... But in all honesty, the blonde looked like he was holding Jo. He knows now that that was not the case, that Kendall was pushing the girl away, but again, James was angry and hurt. He didn't want to listen to what the blonde had to say. He saw it crystal clear.
"What the hell is this?" James yelled and Jo broke away from Kendall, gasping.
Kendall stared wide eyed at James who was glaring at both of them. "J-James, it's not what it looks like, I swear-"
"Oh really?" the brunette snapped, making Kendall flinch. "Because I swear that I just saw you swapping saliva with your ex!"
Kendall walked over to James, shaking his head. "No, s-she kissed me! James, please-"
"I kissed you?" Jo cut in and walked to the door. She looked over her shoulder at the two boys and scoffed. "Please."
Kendall stared, his mouth open, at the spot Jo was just standing at and started stammering. "N-no, James, she's lying! Please, baby, you have to believe me-"
James growled. "I don't have to do anything. Except maybe end this." the taller boy made his way towards the door.
Kendall felt his eyes beginning to water and his heart and stomach did weird summer-saulty things. And not in the good way. "James, no! Please don't do this!" but James was already gone.
The brunette remembered angrily walking to the elevators and ignoring his friends concerned looks. He remembered going to his and Kendall's room, stripping down and jumping into bed, knowing damn well on what the first thing on his agenda would be the following morning...
"Kendall." James stepped inside his shared room with the blonde, who was currently sitting on his bed with a book. James had been doing everything that morning that was Kendall free, even though his thoughts were about Kendall.
Kendall set his book down. The blonde had been wanting to talk to his boyfriend ever since last night but when he came into the room last night, James was already sleeping. Or fake sleeping. Either way, Kendall wanted to talk with him the first thing the next morning.
But when the green eyed boy awoke that morning, he found his boyfriend missing from his bed. That had been a good three hours ago and finally the brunette had showed himself.
"James, where have you been?" Kendall asked and stood up. He walked to stand in front of his boyfriend.
"It doesn't matter." Kendall didn't like the pretty boy's tone of voice and he definitely didn't like the next thing that came out of his boyfriend's mouth. "What matters is last night. I don't know what happened in there and I don't want to know. All I know is you two were sucking each other's faces and that we're done."
Kendall felt his heart stop. "W-what?"
"You heard me. I said we're done. I should have known that you'd still have feelings for her." James growled and Kendall shook his head furiously.
"N-no, James! I don't-"
"Well that kiss told me otherwise." James hissed. Kendall felt his chest tigthen and he could feel some tears building up. James was really going to break up with him because he thought that he kissed Jo?
"James, I-I'm not- I would h-have never kissed Jo! She's my ex first of all and I love you. I didn't even kiss her, she kissed me, o-okay?"
"Uh huh. Sure Kendall. Look, I fucking saw you two. I saw you kissing her." the brunette snarled, making Kendall flinch.
"I didn't do it-" the blonde started brokenly. Did Kendall think that James was stupid? Did he honestly think that? James saw what he saw last night with his own damn eyes. And what he saw was Kendall and Jo kissing. Kendall holding on her waist and Jo holding onto his shoulders.
It made James furious. He may not be the brightest or smartest guy, but when it comes to relationships and shit, he knows what's up. And what was up is that Kendall is a cheater and he was caught by James last night kissing his ex. James has been and gone through relationships, a good portion of them cheating on him. So to think that Kendall could just get away by saying 'Oh, I didn't do it James, blah blah blah' made him furious. Just like the rest of his exes, they always try to blame the person they cheated him on with, when in reality, James knows that they were the real culprits.
In fact, James was pretty furious to the point where he shoved Kendall. He saw Kendall's face change into an expression of shock and then hurt but the brunette didn't care. What about his feelings, huh? He was the one who got cheated on, not the other way around. "That's what they all say, Knight!" he snarled.
"James-" Kendall started but James was too mad to let him speak. Did the blonde not know when to quit?
"Shut up! I'm done with you! We're over, okay? Done."
James glared at the blonde while he gasped and shook his head. "Please don't do this James. This was all just a big misunderstanding-" James didn't hear the rest of what the blonde said. He was on to what Kendall just said, about this situation being a misunderstanding. Nothing was misunderstood. James understood everything. Kendall still had feelings for- he didn't even want to think of that bitch-
"-Just ask Jo-"
ARG! Stupid Kendall said her name anyway. James growled. "Don't fucking talk to me about that bitch. I don't want to hear it anymore, Kendall. We are through. Over."
"You can't do this, James!" he can't do this? What? Yeah, watch him. "You promised you'd stay and be with me-" yes, James did promise this but that was BEFORE he caught his ex swapping spit with his ex. He told this so to the blonde who flipped out.
"For the last time James, she kissed me!" okay, so what if Jo did kiss Kendall? And that's a big what if. Because Kendall seemed to be into the kiss just like Jo was.
"Well you certainly weren't holding back, now were you, you bastard!" James snapped and then felt a little bad when he saw Kendall wince. But then he remembered that Kendall was a cheater so all of that feeling went away.
"James, if you'd just listen to me for one minute-" Kendall pleaded but James still wasn't having none of it. He cut the blonde off.
"No. I'm not going to listen Kendall. The bitch has been wanting to get back with you forever and apparently, so do you."
James saw the blonde shake his head but James didn't care. He turned on his heel and headed out the door. "So don't let me get in the way of that. We're done."
James remembered going out that night and finding some really hot chick to realese his anger out on. Angry sex was always pretty good. But it was for nothing. Kendall had been telling the truth. The whole time... and now James felt like the biggest dick of the dicks because, well, he was one.
James wasn't the only one who'd been deep in thought. The blonde in his arms had gone limp, his fists bunching up James' shirt and pressing close to the taller boy. He missed this, being in James' arms. Being held by his love one. Yes, Kendall still loved James.
He didn't know why though.
After everything he's been through, after everything James put him through, after heartbreak after heartbreak, he still loved the moron.
Maybe Kendall was the moron here. Loving someone that hurt him and accused him of pure falseness. Of something that he didn't do, nor did he want for it to happen. Kendall didn't understand why he was letting himself be held by James. He just didn't. The boy hurt him. A lot. And even though Kendall still loves this boy, he, like he said, was done.
The blonde tried to move away, but James wasn't letting up so he just tilted his head back to stare at the pretty face staring down at his.
"James-"
And that was all James heard. Just his name, coming from those soft pink lips. His hazel eyes were trained on the kissable moving mouth and he leaned down a bit, thinking how it was too long since he kissed the blonde.
Kendall stopped talking when he realized James was leaning forward, his face moving closer and closer to his.
"N-no, James, stop." the blonde ordered weakly and pushed on said boys' chest.
The brunette didn't stop though. Nor did he budge. He kept leaning down closer to Kendall and his mouth until their lips were barely touching.
It was like everyone in the room disappeared and it was just Kendall and James. Actually, the people in the room disappeared awhile ago. Logan had dragged Camille and Carlos out and into the kitchen so the two in the living room could get some alone speaking time.
James let Kendall go, but trapped him between his muscled arms. Kendall's heart was pounding in his chest and when James lips brushed against his softly, Kendall's heart almost leaped out of his chest.
Both boys were stock still in their position for a minute before James moved, letting his body slowly press against Kendall's. Kendall shivered when James' body rested fully against his own, making him press against the door even more.
James decided that he and his lips had waited enough by just barely brushing against Kendall's. So the brunette leant forward the rest of the way and connected their lips together.
Kendall gasped at the sudden pressure against his lips. James took this as a opportunity to scope out Kendall's mouth with his tongue. The blonde let out a moan when James' wet tongue entered his mouth and licked at all of his sweet spots.
Kendall slowly shut his eyes as James licked the outside of his lips before pressing his lips to the blonde's. Kendall forgot how good of a kisser James was. How good James was to make his body go all tingly, inside and out. It had been awhile-
The blonde had started kissing James back when he realized why it been awhile since he and James kissed. Because the asshole thought Kendall cheated on him. Which, it turns out, he didn't! What a surprise. Well, Kendall will have James know that he is NOT going to be getting back with Kendall that easily.
The blonde shoved the older boy back and glared at him.
"What?" James asked, looking hurt. How the hell does he get to look hurt? How does he think that he's got the right to look hurt?
"Don't 'what' me." Kendall snapped. "You think by kissing me and stupid apologies will work to get back with me? Well, let me to tell you now James, they won't."
"Kendall-" James started but Kendall was having none of it.
"No! I'm fucking serious. How can I be with someone if they can't take my word on something that I didn't do? Huh? Tell me that! What will you accuse me next of doing? I can't go through getting my heart broken again, James. If you can't trust me, how will our relationship work?"
Kendall stared into James' hazel eyes, his green ones' filled with emotion. "Kendall... I am so sorry-"
"Quit. Just stop. I don't want to hear it. You need to know that 'sorry' isn't going to work. It just won't. You know why? Because you hurt me and as cheesy as it sounds, here." Kendall rested his hand on his heart, green eyes filled with tears.
James officialy felt like the world's biggest dick as he stared into those broken green eyes. Both boys heard movement from behind them and turned to see Camille, Carlos and Logan walk in. The three of them had nervous, sympathetic looks on their faces as they stared at the two boys.
"Did you guys talk it through?" Logan asked and James looked at Kendall.
Said boy ran his fingers through his hair when James said, "Kendall..." the blonde shook his head and sighed.
"I don't know. I just- I just don't want to be with you now, James. I'm upset and angry and I don't know what to think."
"Kendall, please, I'm sorry. I was an ass for not believing you and for not trusting you. I should have but I didn't and I'm so so sorry." James said and Kendall nodded slowly.
"Yeah, you should have, James." his voice had no feel or emotion in it.
"But if you looked at it from my point of view, I really did think-" James' voice faltered when something flashed in the blonde's green eyes.
"You thought what?" Kendall stared hard at the brunette and James tried again.
"I-I thought that- that you-" James looked down at the ground and whispered, "I thought that you really kissed Jo."
"And I told you that I didn't!" Kendall yelled, making everyone in the room flinch. His mood suddenly changing from hurt to anger. The blonde was hurt still but he was pissed off that James thought that he kissed Jo.
Kendall was sick of it. Sick of James thinking he'd kissed Jo, sick of James because the boy thought sorry and kisses would make him go back to him, sick of being sick of James keep telling him that he thought that Kendall had kissed Jo. If you truly loved someone, you'd hear their side of the story before jumping to conclusions. If you really loved someone, you'd hear them out and talk it through.
Obviously James didn't care about Kendall. Obviously James didn't love Kendall, and yet, the stupid blonde knew that James still had his heart. But he was not going to get back with James anytime soon. Not after all of this. Not after what he put the blonde through.
"You know what, James?" Kendall growled and yanked open the door. "If you thought that the whole time I cheated, maybe I should have. Maybe I should have kissed Jo. Would that make you happy? Or maybe I should have just let you go and went to find someone else who would love me and listen to my side of the story if I was accuse of something. Maybe I should go do that now. Obviously you don't care about, and I'm a cheater. And if I recall, cheaters don't get second chances, right?"
James shook his head frantically. "Kendall, no don't-"
"Shut up James. Just shut up. I have nothing else to say except that I should have cheated." the blonde stormed out of the apartment, leaving four shocked people. And one whose heart felt like it was ripped out of his chest.
A/N Okay! I tried speeding things up a bit for once, because I lag a lot... Anywho. I have a question for you guys! Do you think I should end it here and make a sequel or continue it on and make Cheaters longer? If I'd make a sequel, it would be called 'I Should Have Cheated' (I was very proud of that title lol) and it would be about James trying to win Kendall back. Or I could continue Cheaters, but still have James trying to get back his blonde. =) So, yeah. Please tell me what you guys think of that. And I am going to make Kendall get with somebody, somebody that is not James. ;D That would happen either way, in the sequel or if I continued on in Cheaters. So, yeah. That's it. And I hope you all liked this chapter. =)
