"Oh come on Kendall, it's obvious there's something going on with you and James, just tell me!" Tori begged Kendall. "I'm not going to leave you alone until you do!"

"Tori, there's no way in hell I'm telling you anything. It's none of your business." Kendall responded, flat faced and staring at Tori's pleading expression.

"Well I won't leave you alone until you do!"

Kendall thought about Tori following him everywhere. It would most likely cause even more drama or gossip, and despite the fact that she would most likely never keep following him around, he told her everything that had happened between him, James, and Katie.

"First of all, took you long enough! Secondly, you realize that James meant no harm, right?" Tori tried to calm him, but Kendall thought of vomiting as soon as she said that he 'meant no harm'.

"He doesn't realize how easily he could have told me about it!" Kendall exclaimed, "But no! He had to keep it a secret, for who knows how long?! A week? A month? A year?! He should have told me about it, however he thought I would have reacted!"

"And you would have reacted this way, whether he'd told you when they began dating or not, or whether he'd told you at all. I hate to say it, but you have no excuse. You even said yourself that he wanted to tell you, but Katie wouldn't let him. It shows how much he respects her and her decisions, doesn't that mean something in its self?"

Kendall thought about everything Tori had mentioned. Even though all she'd done was repeat what he said, but with different words, he couldn't help but feel as though she was perhaps the tiniest bit right. Obviously, he wouldn't let her know that, besides, in his mind there were still more reasons why she would be dangerously wrong rather than extraordinarily correct.

"Yes, it shows that he respects, and perhaps loves her. But if he respects me as one of his best friends, he should have told me. He should have let me know, and then we wouldn't be in this situation."

"Just think, would you rather see Katie and your best friend happy, or depressed? Would you want your little sister to be cheerful and joyous with your band mate, or see them both heartbroken?"

"Obviously happy, but then what about me? What about me being cheerful or depressed?" Kendall sighed, "She's just growing up so fast..."

"Are you angry about this just because she's your sister and he's your friend, or is there something else? Is it because she's growing too fast for you to keep up with? Or is there another reason?"

"I don't have time for a lecture, Tori. I'm going to class. See you later."

Kendall quickly walked away from Tori. He never liked to admit that he was wrong, but he'd never admit that, so if he stayed there to talk to Tori even more, he feared that she may have given him some valid reasons, and he didn't want to have to admit that he was in the wrong. That would just cause more scandals; as if he didn't have enough of those things on his plate already.

"James? James! Wait up!" André called out to James. "I need to talk to you!"

"Great! The one time I want to get to class and someone stops me!" James exclaimed, visibly frustrated. "Hurry up, what do you want?"

"Well, Tori told me there's been some 'stuff' going on between you and Kendall, right?" André asked. "And it's kinda obvious that there is, so, what's the deal?"

"Why would I tell you anything?!" James questioned. "We've only talked, what, once or twice anyway!"

"Because I could, you know, possibly... Help?" André didn't even seem sure of why he was there himself, but he had a class he hated, and he knew the teacher wouldn't mind if he was a little late, so he thought "why not?"

James sighed. He couldn't be bothered with yet another argument with someone else, so he started to tell André everything that had happened between him and Kendall.

"Oh...Okay...So, you really dated Kendall's sister?" André questioned. "Really?"

"Yes! So what advice do you have to offer, 'relationship wizard'?!" James exclaimed, putting air quotes around 'relationship wizard'.

"Hey now, I'm a warlock, not a wizard!" André chuckled to himself, before putting on a serious face again, going back to business. "So, I guess I should say something motivational, huh?"

"If you wish, go ahead."

"Well, first of all, you should have told him about you and 'Katie'." André suggested, churning James' stomach, "Still, Kendall would have most likely acted this way what ever the circumstances, so I guess you could be clear on that, especially if you wanted to tell him..."

"I know what's happened! You don't need to remind me! You said you'd give advice!" James snapped.

André thought to himself before speaking. "Well, technically speaking, you're both in the wrong...but from what I've seen, Kendall's super stubborn, so you should probably apologize first. You should've told Kendall what was going on, he might have still been mad, but less than he is now."

"And why shouldn't he apologize to me first? Why should I crawl back to him? Do you know how weak that would make me look?!" James snapped, once again.

"You ask a lot of questions, don't you?" André huffed, before speaking once more. "Well, like I said, he's not going to say sorry any time soon, so why not? This feud's probably going to go on forever it neither of you says anything to one another..."

"And who says that that's a bad thing? It could actually be quite fun!" James added sarcastically.

"And how would Katie feel about that? The guy she loves and her brother in a continuous fight? What about Logan and Carlos? Big Time Rush would most likely break up if this argument were to continue, leaving them sad about the band being over, and two of their best friends hating each other? Think about not only you and Kendall, but those who you're affecting."

James began to walk away, but abruptly stopped and thought about what André had said. He didn't want to hurt those around him, especially Katie. He loved her more than anything, and would do anything for her. Knowing he'd hurt her would kill him, and he wouldn't be able to bear with the guilt. Still, he didn't want to admit that he was wrong, or that Kendall was right. It would ruin his reputation. Instead, he just began to walk away again and tried as hard as he could to not think about anything that André had said to him.

After the school day was over, James didn't wait for Logan, Carlos, and Kendall as he usually did. He called a taxi and went home alone.

He had so much to think about, things that he did and didn't want to do. He didn't want to hurt Katie. That was pretty much the main thing he thought about. He knew that if he and Kendall continued to argue, it would break Katie's heart even more, and he would never want to see her upset or hurting; he would never try to be the cause of it. He never even imagined that he would ever be, but if he and Kendall continued to fight, he most probably would. Just knowing that her cute, innocent smile could be turned into a tortured frown killed him on its own.

He knew that apologizing to Kendall would be the only way to ensure that Katie wouldn't be as hurt as he thought she could be, but then he wouldn't be James. But was his reputation really more important than Katie? He knew it wasn't, but he still couldn't bring himself to apologize to Kendall, at least not yet.

He also despised the thought of breaking up Big Time Rush and having to go back home to Minnesota. It was his dream to become a singer, and he was living it. Why would he throw it away over an argument with the one who made his dream come true? It was something he couldn't even decipher himself, but he knew for certain that he didn't want to go home and give up everything he'd wanted for years.

Katie was thinking nearly the same thing. She didn't want her brother and the guy she loved to be fighting, especially when they were supposed to be best friends. She couldn't help but wonder what had gone on with James and Kendall at school that day. It could have been anything. A real fight? Another intense argument? Could they have even made up? She didn't know. She just hoped that they had, or they would soon make up.

She lay on her bed and pushed her face into her pillow, trying as hard as she could to not cry. Even though nobody would see her, she wanted to prove to herself that she was a strong person. She wanted to try to persuade herself that she would get through her situation, and that it wasn't all that bad, even though deep down she knew that it was worse than she could ever think.

A/N:

Kemi here! :D
Don't exactly know what to say, except that me and one of my friends have become obsessed with a website where you can glitter things up, and we pretend to be a reeaallyy illiterate person, who has a strange family life, and we create strange glittery picture with strange descriptions for all the family members. You may think it sounds strange, but it's hilarious. XD
Anyway, aside from that... We hope you like this chapter! :D

I have nothing to say, except Kemi's username is old and crusty, who agrees? XD
