So it has come to an end, my good friends and well-wishers. Please review, I'm BEGGING you...well, not really, but it'd be nice if you would :)

2 MONTHS LATER

"Katie, stop sucking face and come get some breakfast!" Kendall exclaims, exasperated. I pull away from James, and we both smile at each other. He laces our fingers together and we walk to the breakfast table, taking seats across from my grumpy older brother.

"What's your problem, Kendork?" Carlos asks as he walks in, pulling a black t-shirt over his head.

My mom walks in with a plate of bacon and eggs, giving James and I a look. I suppose she heard what Kendall said, and I blush wildly. She retreats back into the kitchen, tying her apron tighter behind her. I exhale in relief when she's gone, grabbing James's hand again under the table.

"So what's wrong, Kendall?" Carlos asks again. He honestly doesn't know how to leave things alone. "Wake up on the wrong side of the cave?"

James scoffs. "Nah, he's just mad because Gustavo told him he was singing off-key yesterday. He's been pissed ever since." I chuckle, and Kendall stares James down.

"Why don't I like you anymore, James?" he asks, setting his fork down, raising his shoulders and shaking his head in wonder.

"Probably cause he's screwing your sister," Carlos quips, and I blush even more darkly. James's eyes widen in fear at the look on Kendall's face.

I kick Carlos under the table. "Now you know that's not true, Carlos, so just shut the hell up." Kendall is still looking at James as if he wants to kill him.

"KATIE KNIGHT!" I hear from the kitchen. "WATCH YOUR MOUTH!" I roll my eyes.

"Sorry, Mom!" I exclaim. I turn back to my food, noticing that Kendall still looks angry.

I set a gentle hand on his forearm. "Calm down, Carlos is just trying to get you worked up." He loosens up, and his shoulders aren't as tense anymore. I consider it a job well done.

"So," James begins beside me. "Do you wanna go to the beach today? Gustavo says we can take a day off, to, um," he coughs, looking at Kendall out of the corner of his eye, "rest our voices."

Kendall scowls. "Just go to the beach with him, Katie. Maybe he'll get eaten by a shark."

"Funny," James says. "But that's where you're wrong. I bought this new shark-repellant Cuda spray-"

I hold up a hand. "Please tell me you're joking. Please, please do not put on shark-spray."

He slumps in his seat, picking at his bacon. I sigh and roll my eyes, leaning over to peck him on the cheek. Kendall gags and takes a drink of his orange juice. I narrow my eyes at him.

"Not at the breakfast table, please," he says. "I'll really strain my voice if I puke everywhere."

I drop my fork. "Suddenly not hungry anymore." James smiles at me, and I return it. He rubs my knee under the table, and I hear Logan say behind us, "What are you doing with your hand under the table, James?"

Suddenly there is a banging sound as James quickly removes his hand from my knee, accidentally slamming it into the bottom of the table.

Logan chuckles. "Just kidding, guys," he says and takes a seat beside Kendall, who in turn huffs and gets up, walking toward his room. I roll my eyes at his retreating form.

James puts an arm around my shoulder. "So let's go to the beach. I feel like catching some waves." He jumps up and pretends to surf, doing his Cuda moves at the same time. I shake my head at my boyfriend, unable to contain my giggles. I walk to my room to get my bathing suit.

The pictures of James and I are now back on the shelves, smiling down at me amidst photos of Kendall and me at my birthday party and other random moments. I smile a little at the one over my bed, the one that I first knocked down during my rage last July.

Leaning over, I grab my bathing suit out from under my bed. I suddenly question James's decision- it's December and the water will be chilly. I shrug it off, figuring I can tan if nothing else. I grab my beach hat and bag on my way out the door, smiling to myself. I've smiled more these last two months than I have in my whole life, and that thought makes me grin again. Everyone's been doing good, for once, and I think that Kendall might pop the question to Jo in the near future (though I don't voice my suspicions to anyone but Carlos and James).

I head out the door, grabbing a light jacket just in case. Once out the door, though, I re-enter my room. I walk over to my bed and look at the framed picture over the headboard, beside the one of James and I at his graduation.

I touch the glass lightly, reading the words that I know all too well.

JAMES DIAMOND'S SECRET FLING!

And underneath that, as a subtitle: How the hot young pop star has found love with the sister of his bandmate!

I grin at the picture, and tap the glass once more before heading out of my room to go to the beach with the boy I love.

So little Miss Katie got her happily ever after...for now. *laughs evilly*. but, anyways, keep going to the author's note, for info on something that some people have asked for...what is it, you ask, well, you'll have to click that there button to see:)
