A/N: So I saw Taylor Swift last Saturday and can I just say that was freaking amazing? And then the episode of BTR this week about getting "Swifted" it was just great. I like had a heart attack when the boys looked practically naked, but I think so did every Rusher. Anyways, hope you enjoy the chapter! Wasn't going to update, but I got a review today and so I figured why not.
Chapter 25
June paid the taxi cab driver and adjusted her bag on her shoulder. She grabbed the handle of the suitcase and wheeled it into the Palmwoods, happy to be home after 3 months. She sighed happily when she entered the building. She smiled and looked around at the new faces. She saw one girl who had black hair with red streaks and a rocker look going on. The girl was walking past her.
"Hey, I love your hair." June said to the girl. She turned to look at her.
"Thanks. I like yours too." The girl said. "Are you new here?"
"Oh no. I'm coming back from an internship in Florida." June said. The girl gasped.
"Oh you're June! I'm Lucy. Nice to actually meet you." Lucy said and held out her hand. June shook it.
"Nice to meet you too! Well have to talk later. I want to go see James and get settled back in." June said. Lucy nodded.
"Yeah of course. Let me see your phone, I'll put my number in." Lucy said. June took out her phone and handed it to Lucy. Lucy entered it in and handed it back.
"Okay see you later." June said. Lucy smiled and walked off. June turned back to the elevators and stopped. She saw James standing their with a white rose, facing the elevator. He hit the button to go up. He waited for it to open. Then a girl in some kind of Arabic dress stepped out with 2 body guards and took the rose. June's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. Then another man showed up and said something to them and James' eyes widened. Then he ran off to the pool. June sighed. She quickly walked over to the elevators and got in. She rode up to her room and hurried down the hall. She searched through her purse, looking for the key.
"June?" June looked up and saw Camille.
"Cami!" June said. She dropped her bags and ran up to her best friend. They hugged and June pulled away.
"Oh my gosh I missed you so much!" June said.
"I missed you too. I was all alone with the boys! Until Lucy came around. You'll have to meet her." Camille said.
"I already did. I ran into her in the lobby. She's really nice." June said.
"Oh good. Have you talked to James yet?" Camille asked with a nudge. June sighed.
"No, I saw him but he looked a little… busy." June said. Camille looked at her in confusion. "I don't want to talk about now. I don't know all the details. I'll call you later to hang out and catch up."
"Okay. And invite Lucy." Camille said.
"Will do." June said. She found her key and went into her room
"Justine! I'm back!" June yelled. Her sister ran up and hugged her from behind.
"Ahh I missed you!" Justine yelled. June turned around and hugged her sister.
"Ahh I missed you too!" June said.
"Oh my gosh it was so weird living on my own." Justine said. June laughed.
"I bet it was." June said.
"So how was it?" Justine asked.
"It was good. I learned a lot. I really like it. There's something about comparing DNA that just fascinates me. I love solving the mysteries and looking at blood types and nucleic acids and-" Justine placed her hand over June's mouth.
"And you lost me. I happy that you like it, but I don't get it." Justine said. June sighed and moved her sister's hand away.
"Fine. I'm going to take a walk around the park. Maybe find James." June said.
"Okay see you later." Justine said.
"Oh and I'm having Camille and that new girl Lucy over later I think." June said.
"Okay cool. I haven't talked to Lucy yet, but she seems…" Justine trailed off. "I don't know. But I want to meet her." June laughed and headed out. She went down stairs and went to the park. She was walking around. She really missed the park. More than she thought she would. June thought the east coast was nice, but she's a west coast girl. She was happy to get away from Molly, Diana, and Ann. They kept calling her a fake, but she just ignored it. Now she was back here and they were out of her life. And now her and James could have a nice, normal relationship.
June was walking when she saw a big commotion over by some trees. There was that same girl from earlier and a boy, no wait that was James! Dressed in those same weird clothes and she was in. They were sitting at a table talking and a big group of those boys guards were all standing in a half circle, with their backs facing them. They were talking, but June couldn't hear them.
Then the one man from earlier, dressed in the same clothes as James and mystery girl, turned around. He said something, then Kendall, Carlos, Logan, Kelly, and Gustavo, and some other girl came in.
"Wait! James can not get married to that girl!" Kendall yelled. June's eyes widened and almost instantly the tears came.
"Marriage?" June said to herself. Carlos looked over and saw her. He was about to run to her, but June turned around and ran back into the Palmwoods crying. She ran up to her room and shut the door behind her.
She pulled out her phone and texted Lucy and Camille and told them to come to her room. She pulled out her guitar and song book and started strumming. A couple minutes later there was a knock on the door. She went up and answered it. Camille and Lucy were both there.
"Hey girls, come in." June said. "Sorry Lucy. Your first impression of me must be some whiny girl that cries all the time."
"It's okay." Lucy said.
"I'm normally not like this, but like a lot had been going on." June said.
"What happened? I thought you were going to go see James?" Camille asked as she hugged her friend.
"Well I saw him give this girl a white rose before I talked to you, and then later I went out to the park and I saw him and that same girl with some old guy and a bunch of body guards talking about marriage." June said as all the girls sat down on the couches.
"Wait, are you talking about the king and princess of Kerplankistan?" Lucy asked. June looked at her in shock.
"I don't know." June said.
"Well they were supposed to be staying here for something. Were they wearing like Arabic clothing?" Lucy asked. June nodded.
"Yeah!" June exclaimed.
"Then that was probably the princess." Lucy said.
"So James is marrying a princess. Figures." June said. That was a stab straight threw her heart. No, June wasn't his princess, an actual princess was. And at the dance he was quoting the song, and she believed him when he said she was his princess, well queen.
"Well, we don't know. Here let's look it up." Camille said. June picked up her laptop from the table. She pulled up Google.
"Okay what do I search?" June asked.
"Kerplankistan marriage?" Lucy offered. June typed it in and clicked on the first result.
"In Kerplankistan, the male proposes to the female by offering a white rose." June read out loud. "James gave the girl a white rose." June shut the laptop and pushed it aside. Camille picked it up and read it again.
"Yup. It defiantly says that." Camille said.
"Why? Why would he do this to me?" June complained.
"Maybe my demo CD will cheer you up." Lucy said and handed her a copy from her bag. June looked them over. She pointed to the last one.
"I would like to do that to James." June said. Lucy looked at it.
"Cut it off and-"
"Okay." Camille said, cutting Lucy off.
"I can't even believe James. What does he think that because I left, I wasn't coming back? Do you guys know what's going on?" June asked.
"I'm off with Logan, so I haven't talked to them." Camille said.
"I've been at the studio and stuff so I haven't seen them all day." Lucy said. June sighed. She picked up her guitar and started strumming.
"I've been working on this, and I just got some more inspiration." June said.
I remember when we broke up the first time,
Saying "This is it, I've had enough," 'cause like
We hadn't seen each other in a month
When you said you needed space. (What?)
Then you come around again and say
"Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me."
Remember how that lasted for a day?
I say, "I hate you,"
we break up, you call me,
"I love you."
Oooh we called it off again last night
But oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Like ever…
I'm really gonna miss you picking fights
And me, falling for it screaming that I'm right
And you, would hide away and find your peace of mind
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine
Oooh, you called me up again tonight
But oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever getting back together
We are never ever ever getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me (talk to me)
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together
Oooh yeah, oooh yeah, oooh yeah
Oh oh oh
I used to think that we were forever ever
And I used to say, "Never say never..."
"And that's as far as I got." June said and stopped strumming. Camille and Lucy clapped.
"It's not really my type of music, but I like it." Lucy said.
"I love it. It reminds me of Logan." Camille said. "But I want to get back together with him."
"I'm just so done with him breaking my heart." June complained.
"I don't get it." Lucy said. "He always talks about you. Every time we have a conversation, it involves him talking about how much he loves you and all, so I don't get why he would do this."
"Welcome to my life." June said. "This happened 3 years ago, when we dated the first time. He cheated on my for 5 months."
"I don't know. Listen to what he has to say." Lucy said. June sighed.
"If it was just like I saw him kissing some girl or hugging or holding her hand, I wouldn't be as bad, but the fact that he's marrying a princess, is what makes me angry and sad and frustrated and makes me want to cut of his-"
"Okay. We get it." Camille interrupted.
"Alright I feel you June." Lucy said understandingly.
"I'm tired. This has been a big day. I'm going to sleep. You guys can stay here if you want." June said. Lucy and Camille stood up.
"I'm going to head to my place." Lucy said.
"Alright. It was nice to meet you. I hope we can be friends and you don't think I'm too much of a wimp." June said. Lucy smiled.
"It's fine. You're having a tough time." Lucy said. She gave June a pat on the arm and left.
"Well I'm gonna sleep in my own bed. See you tomorrow June." Camille said. She gave her friend a hug and left.
"I'm gonna go get the mail, Justine." June called to her sister.
"Okay!" Justine responded. June went downstairs and went to the front desk.
"Hey Bitters. Nice to see you again." June said. He turned around.
"Nice to see you too June. What can I do for you?" Bitters asked.
"Can I get the mail I missed for the last three months?" June asked.
"Sure. One second." Bitters said and went into the back room. June felt arms slip around her.
"Hey June! I missed you soo much! I'm so happy you're back." James said as he hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek. Bitters came back out with the mail and June took it from him and started to look threw it, ignoring James. James removed his arms.
"What's wrong June?" James asked. June practically threw the mail down.
"Oh I don't know." June yelled sarcastically as she turned to face him. "Maybe it's the marriage proposal I witnessed yesterday. Or the wedding that I heard about." James winced.
"Oh." James said.
"Yeah oh." June said as she turned back to her mail. "If you didn't want to be in a long distance relationship or whatever, you could have told me. You didn't have to go marry a real princess. "
"June I swear its just a big misunderstanding. I want to be with you. I didn't even want to marry that girl. I had the white rose and I was heading upstairs and then the doors opened and she was there and took it from me, but I didn't mean for her to have it. Then her dad popped out and said that I had to marry his daughter and then the boys talked to an embassy lady and found out that I don't have to marry her and then they like kidnapped me and took me to the embassy and tried to make me marry her, but then we had a plan and the dirt boy married her instead. I never wanted to even marry her. It was a big misunderstanding." James said. June had her arms crossed and James put his hands on her shoulders.
"So you are not married?" June asked. James shook his head.
"No and I didn't even want to get married. The only girl I would ever think of marrying is you." James said. June smiled, but then it went away.
"Why did you even have that white rose?" June asked. James smiled.
"I knew you were coming back so I wanted to surprise you with your favorite flower and be there when you got home, but that didn't work out." James said. He looked on Bitter desk and leaned over and grabbed a white rose out of the vase. He handed it to June.
"Welcome back June." James said. June smiled and set the rose down. She wrapped her arms around James' neck and leaned up and kissed him passionately. James moved his hands to her hips and kissed her back full force. They kissed again and again and again, getting more and more intense. June pulled away and held her hand on his mouth.
"I wish we weren't in public. This is a little awkward." June said. They looked around to see everyone in the lobby watching them. June blushed and grabbed her mail. She took James hand and brought him over to the elevator. He followed her and they went to June's room.
She walked in and set her mail on the counter. James came up and spun her around. He attack her face in a kiss and June grabbed the back of his head in one hand and his arm in the other. He pushed her against the counter and she jumped up to be sitting on it. It was pretty convenient because they were now about the same height. June wrapped her legs around James and pulled her self closer. They were getting more and more passionate by the second.
"My God, you waste no time." Justine said as she walked into the kitchen. June and James ignored her and kept kissing.
"You know we eat there." Justine said. James and June again ignored her. Justine sighed.
"Whatever." Justine said and walked away.
