It had been three days since the hockey game and Kendall and Liam began to become close friends. Liam and the guys were always hanging out during the day when Jo and Leila were busy. Kendall actually began to like Liam and Kendall was beginning to grow on Liam. Liam had informed the guys about the party Griffin was planning for Leila and Jo's birthday, but it was meant to be a secret from them two but he accidentally let it slip to Leila, who told Jo.

He needed the guys help inviting people to the party since Liam and Leila still hadn't made many friends in the town. They worked for 3 days running around town finding Jo's friends and people from the Palmwoods to come to the party. Kendall even reluctantly invited Jett to the party, knowing he would show up anyways.

When the guys had gotten at least 100 people to come they began helping Griffin arrange the party at the hotel. The hotel was a 3-hour drive from L.A in Upper California. The party was meant to last longer than midnight so the people attending needed lodging at the hotel. Every couple was required to share a room to save money. Griffin had invited some executive friends of his as well. It was going to be a big blow out event.

The guys made sure that everything perfect, and to Leila and Jo's liking. They gave the party planner all the instructions and left the rest of the work up to the people Griffin had hired for the party. The guys headed to get the girls a birthday present. Liam had already bought Leila and Jo his present for them so he headed home, leaving the boys of BTR to roam around the mall for hours on end looking for birthday presents.

Kendall and Logan decided it would be easier if they split up, Carlos and James taking one end of the mall while Kendall and Logan took the other end. Kendall walked with Logan to a really girly store where they got awkward looks from the sales lady as Logan held up a shirt to his chest. Kendall gave a hearty laugh as they both held up random pieces of clothes for fun. They stopped when the sales lady shooed them out of the store.

The next store they entered was Victoria's Secret. Them being the goofballs they were went into the lingerie section and did the same thing they had done at the previous store, holding up various colored bras and panties. When an old lady gave them a strange look the headed over to the perfume section.

Kendall had no clue what he was going to get either girl. He wanted to give Leila something romantic but he wanted to give something just as sweet to Jo. They left the store and headed to Forever 21. Logan bought them each a $50 gift card to the store. Kendall looked around but he didn't like anything he saw. It was getting late and the others all had gotten something for the girls. James got them both Cuda cosmetics, while Carlos bought them stuffed animals; Kendall left with them empty handed.

They reached the Palmwoods and every one was excited for the party, which was in 3 days. Jo's actual birthday wasn't until Friday, while Leila's was the day of the party. Everyone was gushing about what they were getting the girls, making Kendall's need to buy them a present greater.


The next day Kendall headed to the mall early, so he could spend the whole day looking for a present for the girls. He didn't take any of the guys with him, remembering how bringing even the smart and sensible Logan distracted both of them from the task that needed to be accomplished. He went to every clothing store at the shopping center, but buying them clothes would be redundant.

He went to a zillion different purse stores but left each of them every time when the workers asked if he was buying it for himself. He went to jewelry store where a bracelet had caught his eyes. It was solid gold with real ruby accents and a small ruby heart hanging at off it. Kendall liked it. He bought it for Leila. 'One down, one to go.' Kendall thought. He looked around the same store but all the jewelry wasn't good enough for Jo. He wanted to get Jo something to show her that he still cared about her.

He went to a different jewelry store called The Heart's Remembrance. The store had beautiful trinkets in different metals and stones. The deeper he went into the store the more intricate the designs and jewelry became. He looked all over the store and everything dazzled him. In the corner of the store there was a set of lockets, all in different shapes, sizes, metals, etc.

A small heart shape locket caught his eye. It was a gold plated, solid necklace. There were small stones lining the shape of it on the front. On the back of it there was an engraving that said, "As long as you have my heart, nothing can tear us apart." Kendall thought it sounded similar to one of their songs, regardless, he liked it. He opened it and inside it had and engraving all around the shape of the heart. It said, "You're the one that I want, the one that I need, the one for me."

"Is there a way to get this locket with out the engravings?" Kendall asked the lady behind the counter.

"I'm sorry, but these lockets were made like this. If you want a locket with out the engravings, you'll have to order it online from the store website." She answered sweetly.

"How long will that take to come in?" Kendall asked, considering the suggestion.

"It'll take about a week to get here." She answered with a sweet smile.

'Damn it!' Kendall thought in his head. He really only liked this heart locket for some reason. He hoped that she, and everyone else, wouldn't notice the engravings. He didn't want to pass up the opportunity to buy it so he decided to buy it. After all it was a beautiful heart locket.
