A/N: Hello everybody! Thank you for all the well-wishes last chapter, turns out I DID need them...things got a lot more complicated and, well, let's just say I ended up not going to school for the entire week...yep. That bad. Anyways, at least the sickness gave me some time to tweak this into perfection. I ended up really liking this chapter, and hope you guys will too!

Promise next chapter will most definitely have a shout outs section, for today, well...I'm still kind of sick and the medicines are making me a bit tired, hope you guys don't mind too much...

I ALSO hope most of you got a chance to see Carlos' new movie trailer...it looks cool, doesn't it? Oh well, if we can't have BTR this will have to make do, I'm excited to see him! Excited for his, hopefully, new album as well...

I need some more BTR-like music out there besides HD...

ANYWAYS, hope you guys enjoy the chapter!

This is for all my wonderful, wonderful reviewers!

You ROCK!

Cheers,

Franshes

PS. I recommend you listen to BTR's "All Over Again" throughout the chapter...

Ch. 26: Kiss and Make Up

"-I'm serious, Camille, I don't want to be here, none of this is going to make me forgive him!" Mark was whining as a very-pregnant Camille and Jo ushered him into the pool.

"Look Mark, you and Diego at least need to talk, and you're going to talk. I'm serious...I'm tired, and pregnant, and very very crabby. Trust me, you DO NOT want to make me angry right now..." Camille said.

"Thanks girls, I'll take it from here..." Diego said quietly as he joined them.

Mark crossed his arms as the two girls scurried away.

"What do you want, Diego? To flaunt around this new relationship of yours by forcing me to come to a party you and James are hosting?" he said meanly.

"No," Diego said sincerely "James and I brought you here...I brought you here...because I want you to forgive me..."

"You're insane! That's not happening!" Mark snapped "I'm not Kendall, Diego, I won't suck up all my pain every single time you decide you want to sleep with someone else..."

"I know, and I'm not asking you to...that'd be completely unfair..." Diego said quietly.

"It was your first time..." Mark said, finally breaking down and allowing tears to fall down "Our first time...it was supposed to be special...how could you just-give it away to James like that?"

"I wasn't thinking straight..." Diego said automatically "I was...too delighted at being noticed by my idol, too caught up in my Big Time Rush dream to notice the other dream that was slipping away from me...you. Mark, you mean everything to me. Everything. James...he's a great friend and I like him but...he's not you. And he doesn't love me. He never will. And I don't love him either..."

"And yet you let him-" Mark began angrily but Diego cut across him.

"We didn't sleep together, Mark," Diego said sharply.

"You-you didn't?" Mark said astonished "But I saw you-!"

"Okay so we were going to," Diego said "But...towards the end, James got cold feet...he couldn't do it, said it wasn't right. And once he'd said it...I realized I wouldn't have been able to go through with it either because...well...because it didn't feel right for me either..."

They were interrupted then.

"Okay so listen up everybody!" Said Logan's cheerful voice in the microphone.

Both Mark and Diego turned their gaze to the guys upstage.

"I made some...really stupid mistakes recently..." James continue "And I'm here trying to make it all better..."

"So tonight's performance and this party that, might I add, Bitters is locked in the supply closet for, is all for two very special young people...you know who you are...enjoy!" Carlos added mischievously.

James began singing then.

"Yeah, yeah, oh yeah..."

Carlos continued.

"Still got that same look that sets me off...guess there's just something about you...I got these feelings can't let 'em show, 'cause I wouldn't let you go...I shouldn't have let you go..." he sang and as he did, Mark couldn't help looking at Diego by his side, smiling that giddy, nervous smile that had first made him fall for him.

On stage, Kendall watched James in a very similar way.

The twinkle in his eyes, the easy-going smile and the confident way in which he moved to music's rhythm had him mesmerized so much so that he had a hard time remembering when it was his turn to continue.

Thankfully, though, he recovered on time.

"You, ask me for closure before and boy I told you it's over, it's over, it's not over...So here we go again!" he sang, his eyes involuntarily made their way to James' and they held each other's gaze for a rather long moment. Feeling chills run down their spines.
Together, the four guys began.

"It's like I'm falling in love, all over again...For the first time, and I know that it feels right..."

Pretty soon, it was time for them to begin again, Kendall and James spun on stage so they were next to each other, singing.

"Tonight," Kendall sang.

"I know I tried to not face the truth...but no one can love me like you do...Your love is static, it pulls me in, like a song when it first begins! I just don't want to let you end..." James sang, moving closer to Kendall, facing the blonde, singing to him.

The faint blush in the blonde's cheeks told James that he was aware of what the brunette was doing, although he wasn't facing him.

But Kendall was about to change that.

He sneakily turned to face James and, rather NOT innocently got closer to to the brunette so the other boy could feel his warm, minty breath on his face. Feel his pelvis accidentally brush against his backside.

James-almost-let out a whimper.

"You, just take me over and you, are my controller. I told ya, I told ya, I told ya..." Kendall sang, with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

As they continued to sing, couples got together to start dancing to their song, people began cheering them on and the party seemed a lot livelier.

"All over again..." Kendall finished.

Only then did he notice he and James were holding hands and had practically been singing the song to each other towards the end.

Blushing, they let go of the other and turned to look at Mark and Diego, only to discover they were making out heavily.

All around them, people were cheering and whistling loudly.

The guys grinned and bowed to their audience.

"Guess this means they made up!" James shouted over the tumult as Mark and Diego continued kissing, oblivious to the world around them.

"Yeah!" Kendall shouted back.

"Now we'll leave you guys with some awesome music so you can enjoy the rest of your night!" Carlos shouted over the cheering teens whose screams just got louder at his words.

The guys hopped off stage, feeling happier than they'd been in a while.

"You guys did awesome," Jett said smiling at them but Kendall did not miss the strange sadness that seemed to be in the actor's expression.

It only THEN occurred to him that...Jett had seen their performance as well. He had seen how he and James had interacted with each other.

Shit.

He felt a pang of guilt at his actions, knowing, as he did, that he did not deserve Jett. And Jett certainly did not deserve this.

"You want to dance?" Kendall asked Jett timidly, to try to make up for it as couples all around them got together for a slow dance.

"Sure," Jett said, brightening up considerably at that.

Smiling, Kendall placed his hands around Jett's waist and Jett wrapped his arms around Kendall's neck bringing them closer together.

At their side, Logan gallantly held out his hand for Carlos to take, the Latino taking it while blushing lightly as they began to sway to the soft music.

James sighed, contented although a bit lonely.

Mark and Diego had disappeared together a while ago and all around him, people seemed to be enjoying the night.

'Be happy, James,' he mentally scolded himself 'That means you succeeded...everybody's happy...'

And yet one glance at Jett and Kendall slow dancing, and of the actor whispering something in the blonde's ear that made him laugh, he couldn't help but feel miserable.

(Later...)

Half an hour later, he found himself near the snack's table, distractedly nibbling on a cookie.

Over the top of Jett's shoulder, where he was laying his head, Kendall's heart broke upon looking at James' broken-hearted expression.

"What's on your mind?" Jett whispered to him.

"Huh? Oh, nothing nothing," Kendall said "Just a bit...distracted, I guess,"

"By James?" Jett guessed, following the blonde's gaze.

"What? No! No, it's not that...well...maybe just a little. I mean, look at him, he seems so...so..." Kendall said, seeming at loss for words.

"Sad?" Jett said helpfully.

"You could say that, yes," Kendall said with a sigh "I hate to think I might be hurting him..."

"So go be with him..." Jett suggested gently.

"What? Jett, no. I'm with you, I can't just-" Kendall said but Jett interrupted him.

"Go, I'll be fine, I don't mind waiting for a while...in fact, I might go and hang out with Jo and Frankie for a little bit...go dance with James. You know you want to..."he said.

Kendall's expression seemed pained. Torn between James and Jett.

"Are you sure you don't mind?" He asked Jett quietly.

"Not at all. Go, I'll be fine, I'll meet you in the apartment later..." Jett said.

With Jett's assurances, Kendall felt more at ease as he made his way over to the pretty boy who still hadn't noticed his presence, immersed in his thoughts as he was.

"Penny for your thoughts?" He asked James playfully.

James forced himself to offer Kendall a weak smile.

"I'm just...tired," he attempted to wave off the blonde's concern.

"Like hell you are," Kendall said with a scoff, sitting down next to him "You look miserable, James..."

"Do I?" He mumbled "I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention to ruin this party for you and Jett..."

"Come on," Kendall said standing up and pulling at James' arm "Let's go,"

"No, Kendall I don't wanna-" James whined, even as he allowed Kendall to lead him away from his chair "Where are you even taking me?"

"To dance," Kendall said simply as he led James to the dance floor.

"No, Kendall I-" James attempted but his breath caught in his throat as Kendall hugged him close to him, his heartbeat quickening at the closeness as the blonde began swaying them to the soft music.

James let out a shaky breath as he allowed Kendall to lead him easily.

Hesitantly, he laid his head on the blonde's shoulder.

"Feeling better?" Kendall asked after a while.

"Yeah," James sighed, closing his eyes, a contented smile on his face.

Kendall laughed.

"I just love having you in my arms," he said softly.

"Well...I love being here," James answered honestly "But where did Jett go?"

"Don't worry about it...he's fine with this..." Kendall said "Just enjoy the night with me,"

With that, James smiled a genuine smile and decided he'd do just that...

A/N: Uh-oh...or I guess you could go with "aww" both work in this case. Anybody feeling sorry for Jett? Anybody want a Jett in their lives? I know I'm beginning to...and, well, lots of Kames in this chapter, did you guys like it?

Are any of you frustrated at Kendall yet? Or maybe feel sorry for him?

ANYWAYS, Mark and Diego made up! Will they make it this time? Also, Camille, as she very rightly put it, is VERY pregnant...are we close to finding out Lomille baby's gender? What are you guys rooting for? Has Camille gotten it right? Is she having a girl?

Is Kett coming to an end or will they work around something?

Even if Kett DOES break up (don't count on it yet though) does that guarantee Kames will get back together?

The answers to these and more questions coming up in later chapters!

Stay tuned!
