A/N: Hi everyone! I know it's been a long time since I updated this story and I'm really sorry about that! I also know that this chapter is short but it was more of a filler chapter anyway. =/

If we think about what happened last time, Jennifer kissed James and we do know that he responded. Kendall told Abby that she and James belonged together and that he didn't really care if they kissed in fornt of him because he was happy for them if they were happy and blah blah blah. So now we get back right to those moments again and you'll see what happened ;)

Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing that has to do with BTR! I just own Abby and Ian!


James pushed Jennifer off of him and she looked at him, her eyes filled with lust. He was glaring at her as he stood up and fixed his shirt again.

"What the hell Jennifer!" He yelled at her furiously. "What do you think you're doing!" She smirked at him and stood up after him.

"Come on James... We both know you want me more than you want her." She spat with disgust in her voice. "I am much prettier than her and I'm more famous than she will ever be. She doesn't even have her own first song on the radio yet!" Jennifer laughed.

"What?" James asked confused. He had thought that this was all Abby's imagination and that he and Jennifer were just friends.

"Oh don't tell me you didn't see this coming?" Jennifer said amused. "You really thought I would ever become Abby's real friend? I hate that girl James. I'm not even sure she is a girl for that matter. She's always playing poker and sports with you guys and always loves to watch football with you. She does everything you want to do and whenever you tell her something she believes you. A normal girl would resist and try to change you. Try to make you even more famous. Like me." She said and once again jumped trying to kiss him but he pushed her away again.

"Stop it!" He yelled at her. "I love her and not you! I thought you were my friend but obviously you are not!" Jennifer's face turned red.

"Why would you pick her? Why James? Can't you see that I am much prettier than her!" James put his head down. "I was willing to go all the way with you and you stop me? What the hell is that about? I bet you and Abby haven't even thought about ever getting to that point! Oh wait, let me guess; She's waiting until marriage? Is that it James? Or is it as simple as I thought it was; Was she tricking you all along? Holding you on edge, getting you excited and then the next making you stop because she wasn't 'ready' yet?" With her words James stepped forward and slowly a smile began to creep up his face.


"I don't care about that anymore. All I want is for both of you to be happy, and you can't be that without each other. You are like, like..." He tried to figure out the right word and finally settled on one that made Abby's heart warm. "You're soulmates."

Beside Kendall, Ian nodded agreeing completely with him as Abby swallowed hard.

"Kendall... Please... I can't deal with more heartbreak. I've had enough already." She said slowly and wiped a tear away from her eye. Kendall sighed deeply and Ian stepped forward.

"Abby. Look, I haven't known you for long but I know that you and James belong together. It's that look you get in your eyes every time you tell me about him. They glisten Abby. They glisten. It's like he's your sun and moon and from how he beat me up for hugging you I can tell that he feels the same way about you." Abby looked away.

"Then he should have stopped and listened to me when I tried to explain about what had happened in the elevator." She said and her hands balled into fists. "He just assumed something and then pounced at you. He should have waited, he should have listened." Ian smiled a little and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Sometimes love makes people do crazy things." He said, as if it was the simplest thing in the world.

"I still don't know Ian." Abby sighed. "I just- It feels-" She couldn't choose the right words to use.

"I know." Kendall said and hugged her. "We'll make things alright again, I promise." He told her and gave her a reassuring smile. "For now you just need to concentrate on the singing competition." He told her and this time Abby shook her head.

"That wont be hard because I'm not going to compete." She told them as their jaws dropped and she walked off to her bedroom closing the door after herself.


James was still smiling and Jennifer suspected the best as she too began to smile.

"You're right." He told her and her smile of victory was even bigger now. "Abby is weird for a girl." He agreed. "She isn't as famous as you are and she is really good at Poker too. She plays sports that normal girls would never dare to even try out without being pressured into it and she never tried to change me or make me more famous because she couldn't. And that is why I love her." He told Jennifer and her smile dropped. "When it comes to fame, Abby is nothing compared to you right now but at the same time she is the sweetest girl I have ever met and she is a really good songwriter, which if you had ever listened to one of her songs, you would have understood. She is right on the edge of being famous and this competition is her big chance at being famous. I love Abby for who she is and not for what she is trying to become. It isn't her ambitions that drive me crazy, it's her. Sure I might have dated a few girls that are a lot hotter than Abby but she is the most beautiful girl I've ever loved. Correction, she is the only girl I've ever loved." James walked over to the door and turned around to face Jennifer again, who was red in the face, fuming. "So I'm sorry Jen, but I don't think we can be friends anymore. I have to go and try to make things right with Abby because it's her that I truly, deeply love. Have a good life and stay the hell away from me and Abby in the future." He said and walked out slamming the door after himself. He sighed and then remembered something. The things he had said to Abby were really awful and the way to getting back to the way they were was going to be hard.


Kendall opened Abby's door and walked in.

"What do you mean you're not going to compete?" He asked her bewildered as she shook her head.

"I meant what I said. I don't want to sing a song that reminds me of James."

"So sing something else then!" Kendall exclaimed.

"No Kendall! Don't you understand? Everything about this competition reminds me of James! He was the one who was supposed to help me in the beginning and when he turned me down I found Ian who helped me instead. If I compete I will just be thinking about James all the time and then I'll make a fool out of myself and shove my career down the toilet." Kendall seemed to think about what she had just said and suddenly his mind began to click together a plan.

"I think..." He began slowly. "You should still do the competition." He finished and Abby raised an eyebrow.

"Why?" She asked and he shrugged.

"Because you shouldn't let James get in the way of your dream. I think you can really make it. I'll talk to Ian and tell him that you still want to sing-"

"But I don't want to do it. And where is Ian anyway?" She asked confused because he wasn't in the room.

"He had dinner with his family and had to leave. He told me he would still be up for singing with you if you agreed to continue."

"But I wont-" She began but Kendall stopped her.

"Wait! Abby this isn't just your shot, it's Ian's too. He's been waiting for an opportunity to break out as an artist and then you came along and finally his chance came along. Don't ruin this chance for him Abs." Kendall said, still working his plan. Abby looked down.

"Fine. I'll still do the competition, but just for Ian!" She said and Kendall smiled at her.

"That's great Abs! I'll go and call Ian and tell him. I'll also try to fix things between you and James so that you can be happy again." He said and before Abby had a chance to protest he was out of her room and out of the apartment. Abby shook her head and took a small item out of her pocket. It was a part of the picture she had torn apart earlier. She looked into his hazel eyes and felt tears coming to her own as she held his picture tightly to her chest.

"Things will never be the same." She whispered just as a tear fell down, making her pillow wet.


A/N: ... I don't know what I'm supposed to say after this. Once again I'm sorry it was short but I've been busy with school and I have a lot coming now too so I can update in a while. I hope you guys haven't given up hope on this story and that you're okay with waiting at least a little.

And now: Did you really think I was going to have James kiss Jen back? I mean COME ON! I hate that girl and I love James so why would I make them- You know what? I don't even want to think about it. =]

I actually felt bad for Abby a little... I think the thing with her keeping the part of James in their picture still states that she loves him even if they jut had a heartbreaking breakup. But what did you think? If I get over 6 reviews on this chapter telling me to continue this story quickly I will but on my writing socks and write my butt off! I don't, well to bad for you I guess ;)

I really hope you'll review and make me happy! Thank you for reading!

xoxo
