A/N: Happy Sunday! (Easter Sunday for those who celebrate) I don't have much to say besides I hope you enjoy this chapter! :D

I could not stop laughing as James road around me. I knew he was just trying to impress me and it was working until he almost crashed. He pulled up next to me and suggested we race back the way we came and I remembered how the terrain was so I agreed. I led most of the way but I could feel James right on my tail. I slowed down because I knew there was a pretty big jump ahead and I tried to get his attention but he was already in front of me. I could hear him scream in excitement as he jumped through the air but after I got over the hill, I could see him lying on the ground. I slowly came down the hill and turned off the bike before I jumped off, snatching off my helmet.

"James!" I ran over to him and he was holding his side, rolling on the ground. I took off his helmet and he winced. "What the hell happened?"

"My side hit the handle bars when I landed." I grabbed his hands and he looked at me.

"I'm just going to see how it looks." I told him and he nodded his head. I moved his hands and slowly lifted his shirt to see a bruise forming on his side.

"Does it look bad?"

"It's just a bruise but you should go to the hospital just to be sure it isn't something else serious."

"I can see the headlines now and my mom's going to lose her shit."

"You'll be fine."

"That's not-"

"Come on, get up."

"You'll have to carry me."

"You're so dramatic." I said, grabbing his hand.

"Leave me here to die!"

"Okay, I'll let the giant bugs and animals eat you." At that, he got up and grabbed his helmet off the ground, wincing after he sat on the bike. I shook my head before I put my helmet on and started my bike. He trailed behind me and when we pulled up to the shack-like building, the owner's daughter came running out.

"Welcome back, guys!"

"James' hurt." I told her as James pulled up and took off his helmet.

"No! What happened?" She asked, running up to James.

"It's okay, I'll be fine." We both got off the ATVs and put our helmets on the handle bars before I helped James into the store.

"What happened?" The store owner asked.

"He hit his abs on his the handle bar."

"Nooooo." The store owner's daughter whispered from behind us. After we changed back into our clothes, James paid the store owner and we climbed into limo.

"Bye, James." The store owner's daughter said before I closed the door. The limo pulled off and I turned to see James laying down on the longer side of the seats.

"I should've told her to keep things quiet at least until I got to the hospital." He said, holding his side.

"There's no way. Her father was way too strict."

"That was so his shop wouldn't get run down by random people. A hospital already has a lot of people so there's going to be a ton of people showing up regardless."

"I'm sure it won't be that crazy."

When we pulled up to the hospital, there were so many people outside of the hospital. I could see fans starting to gather while some men with cameras showed up. I could see some girls running from cars in the parking lot.

"I told you." James said before the limo came to a stop at the front of the hospital.

"I'll just stay in the car." I told him and he started laughing before he winced.

"No, you're going out there with me. You have to protect me from them."

"Fine but you're going to have to pay me."

"How about an alternative?"

"That can work." I said before the limo driver opened the door. I put my shades on before I stepped out of the car. Everyone was trying to look in the limo for James and when I did, he was putting on his hat. He scooted over before I helped him out of the car. He held his side while I wrapped an arm around him as he looked down. We quickly walked into the hospital and when we did, everyone in the waiting room was looking at us. We walked up to the counter and the nurses looked shocked.

"Hi." I said as she looked at James. "If you don't mind, can-"

"Don't even bother, she's star struck. How can we help you?" Another nurse said.

"Well, he hurt himself on an ATV and we just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything serious."

"Oh, we get those more often than you think, follow me." We walked through double doors, down a hallway, and into a small room where the nurse told James to get on the table.

"Where did you get hurt?" She asked him and he lifted his shirt to show her his side.

"Oh, wow. Luckily, it looks like it's going to be a pretty cool looking bruise." James just looked at me and I nodded my head. It was going to be a cool looking bruise. I guess he wasn't expecting a nurse to say that.

"Do you feel any pain besides if I press on it?"

"No." James answered and she nodded her head before she left out the room. "Cool looking bruise? I have a concert to perform tomorrow. I need my abs to look amazing and this bruise isn't going to look cool in front of thousands of fans."

"James, calm down. Your fans will still love you. Think of it as like a battle wound or something."

"Kendall, I-"

"WHERE IS HE?" Both me and James' eyes widened in shock at the sudden outburst. Two seconds later the door opened and Mrs. Diamond came walking swiftly into the room. "James, what the hell happened? I asked you to tell me where you were going and you just disappear. Then I had to call the driver to find out where you went."

"Mom, calm down, I was having fun with Kendall an-"

"Kendall?" She said and I waved at her. "Can I speak to you outside?"

"Sure." I said, getting up. I followed her out into the hallway and she turned to me and let out a sigh.

"What do you want here?"

"Huh?" I asked her and she glared at me.

"What do you want? You obviously want something and James is too naïve to see it."

"What are you talking about? I don't want anything."

"You don't want money, fame, or anything?"

"No. I'm just fine being his friend."

"Don't bullshit me, you and I both know it. You're just-"

"Stop."

"Excuse me."

"This conversation is over." I said, turning away from her and walking back into James' room.

"What did she say?"

"Nothing really." I sat down in one of the chairs there before Mrs. Diamond came walking back into the room with a doctor.

"James, I'm sure it's nothing but a bruise. But your mother insists on checking everything."

"I take your word Doctor, we don't have to check everything. My mother is just worried." James told the doctor and I was surprised because a few seconds ago, he was freaking out.

"Alright, well, then we are done here. I'm going to give you some cream to handle that bruise."

"Thank you." James said, getting down from the table.

As we walked to the front of the hospital, I could tell Mrs. Diamond was glaring at me from behind. I could care less about that woman because she wasn't going to ruin me and James because she thinks I have some ulterior motive. When we actually got to the front, there were so many people I couldn't even see the limo.

"I'm calling the police." Mrs. Diamond said but James looked at her like she was crazy.

"It's not that serious, mom." He told her.

"James, how are you going to get through that in one piece?"

"They're my fans, mom. They don't want to kill me."

"James, they're excited teenage girls, they're going to rip you apart out of excitement."

"Not if I have a bodyguard." James said, looking at me as he put his hat and shades back on. I wasn't expecting him to look at me but when he did, I nodded while looking at Mrs. Diamond. I knew that this was going to make her blood boil, so of course I wanted to help.

"Stay close." I told James as we walked out of the hospital. When the doors slid open, I watched as all of their eyes grew in excitement. I felt James grab my forearm and I turned to him. He looked a little scared but he was trying to hide it. We moved swiftly through the crowd, not getting too close or slowing down. When I saw the limo, I reached for the handle and the second it was open, James was jumping in. I closed the door and turned to look at the fan girls as they screamed and tapped on the glass.

"Guys, step back." I told them as Mrs. Diamond walked out. She kept her head low and the girls parted a little for her and I opened the door for her. I climbed in after her and closed the door, letting out a sigh.

"That was the dumbest move we've ever done." Mrs. Diamond said, flattening her skirt.

"But we're alive, thanks to Kendall." James said, smiling at me as the limo driver pulled away.

"Where are we headed Mr. Diamond?" The limo driver asked.

"Um, we're going to the hotel." James told him and I was about to say something but decided against it. When we arrived outside there were a few fans outside waiting. When they saw the limo pull up, they were covering their mouths and taking out their phone. I stepped out followed by Mrs. Diamond and then James, who smiled at the girls before Mrs. Diamond walked pass them.

"Hey, how are you guys doing?" James asked them.

"I'm great." One girls said as she tried to contain her emotions.

"Can we have a picture?"

"Sure." James said, smiling. They took a few pictures each and I could see how happy James was and how happy all of the girls are.

"Excuse me." One girl said and it took me a second to realize she was talking to me.

"Yes."

"I don't want to sound rude or anything but who are you?"

"I'm Kendall, James'-"

"New bodyguard and friend." James said, smiling at her before the girls wanted a picture with me.

"James, why would you tell them that?" I asked him as we stepped into the hotel and he just shrugged, smiling.

"Was this your first time being asked for a picture?"

"No, I get asked on a daily basis to be asked for a picture, James. How on earth did you know?" I said, sarcastically and he playfully glared at me before he pushed me. He ran into an elevator that opened and I chased him and made it in just before it closed. I cornered him in the elevator and he stopped me before I could kiss him.

"Cameras." He whispered. I glared at him and his eyes widened, making me smile as I backed up and help my hand over the floor buttons.

"Top floor." He told me and I pressed the button.

"So, why did we come here?"

"I wanted to hangout some more."

"Oh."

When we reached the top floor, James stepped out first with his room key. I closed the door behind us, wondering where the security guards were. James headed into the bedroom of the suit and sat down on the bed, kicking off his shoes. He laid out on the bed and I smiled at him. He threw his hat across the room and let out a sigh.

"Tired?" I asked him.

"Something like that." He said before he sat up as I leaned on the door frame.

"What time are you leaving for the venue?"

"I'm supposed to be there in about three hours but I just sit around for forever."

"Well, what do you want to do until then?"

"I don't know?"

"What do you usually do when I'm not here?"

"I talk to some fans an-"

"Well, let's do that."

"Really?" He said, smiling.

"Yeah, why not?" I walked over and sat down on the bed with him.

"Camille thinks it's tiresome."

"How?" I asked and he just shrugged as he pulled out his phone.

"Oh, you can get my iPad in my bag and we can both talk to them." I reached over to his bag and pulled out his iPad. When I saw that it was him as his background, I rolled my eyes.

"Are you serious?" I asked him and he blushed.

"I look like an angel in that picture."

"Right." I said, sliding to unlock the iPad.

"7-9-8-2." James said and I wanted to ask why his password was that but I just shrugged it off. I went to his twitter app and he was already signed in.

"Just reply to a few tweets and retweet and maybe follow some fans, if they aren't too weird." James told me before I click on his mentions tab. As I read through the fans messages, I saw that a lot of them were sending multiple tweets with the same message. I clicked one of the fans and retweeted their tweet about James loving his fans before I followed her. I smirked when I realized that James hadn't followed Katie on Twitter. I went to her page and followed her before going back to his mentions. It actually felt good to respond to the fans even though I wasn't James. They just seemed genuinely happy that they were getting some type of response. About an hour passed and we were sprawled out on the bed, going through fan messages as they flipped out.

"This is pretty awesome." I told James and the happiness on his face was the most prominent I've ever seen. When I faced him, he leaned over and kissed me. I just smiled at him before my phone started ringing. I reached in my pocket and pulled it out to see someone was calling me from my house phone.

"Hello?"

"Kendall."

"Yes, Katie."

"What happened to James?"

"What are you talking about?" I asked, playing dumb.

"Kendall, there are new pictures of James on Tumblr and you're in a few of them. Someone said you're his new bodyguard."

"Really?" I asked her in shock and I just know she's rolling her eyes.

"Kendall, I'm serious."

"You know, you haven't called me to see how I'm doing in a while."

"Kendall!" She screamed, making me laugh.

"What was the question again?"

"Kendall, oh my god, would you please tell me what happened to James?"

"James' going to tweet about it in two seconds, also, check your followers." I told her before I hung up.

"Kendall, you're going to drive her insane."

"I know. It's so fun." I refreshed her page to see her tweeting and freaking out. James handed me his phone with a new tweet started.

"I don't know what to say?"

"Just tell them what happened?"

"Oh, I was on a secret date and I got hurt."

"Wait…that was a date?" I asked him and he started blushing, taking his phone back.

"Was that a date, James?" I repeated as I straddled him. He was blushing so hard and I was loving every moment of it. I leaned down and smiled as I inched closer. "Answer me." I whispered and he looked so desperate for this kiss. He leaned forward and I backed up before he could connect out lips.

"James-"

"Okay, fine. It was a date."

"You could've at least treated me to something to eat."

"I was going to order room service."

"So you had all of this planned out?"

"Yes, now give me a kiss." I smiled as I kissed him and he surprised me by rolling us over. He started kissing on my neck and I moaned before I stopped him.

"What?" He asked me.

"Were you trying to give me a hickey?"

"I was but I won't if you don't want me to."

"The only time you can give me a hickey is when we have sex because right now, you're teasing."

"Well, we can just-"

"Not on the first date." I told him, stopping him when he grabbed the hem of my shirt. I smiled up at him as he groaned.

"Don't worry, we'll get to that point eventually." I said, climbing off the bed and I didn't miss the excitement on his face as I headed to the bathroom. I used it and when I came out James was on the hotel room phone. He turned to me when he saw me and pointed to my phone at the corner of the bed. I picked it up before I laid on the bed. I rolled my eyes at the several missed calls from Katie. I grabbed James' iPad and just scrolled down his timeline, reading about the fans freaking out. I read one of them and it had a picture attached and it was me. They were asking who I was and if I was the same guy that helped him at a concert. James hung up the phone and moved so he could see the screen.

"Oh, reply to that."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"I don't know if I should."

"Kendall, what's the worst that could happen?"

"I don't know James. Maybe the press can make up some story."

"You're right but Katie could answer that."

"Crap." I said, grabbing my phone and calling her back.

"Kendall, why-"

"Katie, don't answer any questions about me. Don't tell anyone who I am."

"I told them you were my brother, that's about it."

"Okay, well don't say anything else."

"Only if you let me talk to James."

"Katie, are you serious?"

"Yes."

"Fine." I said, handing James the phone.

"What?" He asked looking between me and the phone.

"She wants to speak to you."

"Okay." He said, taking the phone. I could only imagine the things she was asking or telling him. He was talking to her about what happened to his side, so I guess she asked him that.

"Oh, we're discussing it but I think he might be. It's really up to him and someone else." James told her and I wondered if she was asking about me.

There was a knock on the door and I headed over to answer it. When I opened the door, there was a man standing there with the room service cart. He smiled as he pushed it into the room. When James came out of the bedroom the bottom of the cart started moving and the next thing I knew two girls climbed out. I grabbed one of the girls before she could grab James and the guy who pushed the cart in grabbed the other girl. Both of them were trying to struggle away from us as they screamed for James for a picture.

As we pulled them to the door, James stopped us and told the girls that they could have a picture. After they took their pictures, James told them that their actions could land them in jail for trespassing and they quickly apologized and thanked him for the pictures before the room service guy showed them the door. I closed the door and turned to look at James like he was crazy.

"What?"

"Why did you let them take a picture?"

"Because I felt bad that their plan, which was probably elaborate, was going to fail in seconds."

"But you do know now more fans are going to try something like that."

"Kendall, you fail to realize that the fans will continue to do things like this, even if I refused to take pictures with them."

"If you say so." I told him as I pushed the cart into the bedroom. James sat on the bed before there was another knock on the door. When I opened it, his mother walked pass me and into the bedroom.

"Mom? What-"

"Why did you give those girls what they wanted?"

"Mom, please, I already explained this to Kendall. You can yell at me for something I did wrong later."

"Kendall?" She asked before she turned to me.

"Yeah." I said, waving to her and she rolled her eyes before turning back to James.

"James, those girls could've attacked you."

"Mom, those are my fans and all they wanted was a picture."

"You could've just told them to get out."

"But that's rude."

"So is their trespassing into you hotel room."

"Mom, there's nothing we can do now. So, can I just enjoy my food before my concert?"

"Fine." His mother said before she groaned, leaving the room.

"Well, you handled that pretty well."

"I'm just tired of her yelling at me about everything like yelling will make anything change." I sat down next to him on the bed and he leaned his head against me.

"Don't look so sad."

"I just want to have at least one good day where everything goes right. There's always some problem that I have to deal with."

"What about today?"

"Today was great until I bruised my stomach."

"That's a minor setback. If anything it'll make your fans love you more because you're going to be performing for them even when you're hurt."

"You have a weird happy way of thinking about things."

"I try." I said, wrapping an arm around him, pulling him closer. His head leaned against my chest and I could smell lavender and I'm guessing it was coming from his shampoo.

"So, what did you get to eat?" I asked him, trying to take his mind off of bad things he was most likely thinking about.

"Just two cheeseburgers." He said, uncovering one of the dishes.

As we ate, he scrolled down his twitter and I just couldn't help but watch him with a smile on my face. He would laugh here and there at his fans before he continued to scroll. There was another knock on the door but before I could get up to open it, the door was swinging open. James turned and rolled his eyes to see that his mother was back. I guess in the hour she was gone, she found a room key. "James, it's time to leave."

"I'm not a child, I can tell time and when I have to leave." James said, grabbing his phone and sliding it into his pocket. I put our plates back onto the cart as Mrs. Diamond walked out of the room. James grabbed my hand and pulled me with him.

"I don't have my phone."

"I have it." James said before we stepped up to the elevator with his mother. Her eyes immediately went to our joined hands and James squeezed to make sure I didn't let go.

Once the elevator doors opened James loosened his grip and let my hand go before pressing the button to the ground floor. When the doors opened, there was an erupting sound of screaming and a few people in the lobby wouldn't stop staring as we walked through. There were security guards all around keeping the fans back. James waved to them before he climbed into the limo. Mrs. Diamond nudged me out of the way as she walked pass me to get into the limo. I rolled my eyes before I climbed in after her, closing the door. James laid out on the opposite side of the limo while Mrs. Diamond sat in the middle, scrolling on her phone. When we arrived at the venue, we headed straight to his changing room and he smiled so hard when he saw the many racks of clothing waiting for him.

"We need to creatively cover up that bruise." Lucy told him and he went searching for different looks. It was fun seeing him search through multiple racks grabbing different articles of clothing. Lucy followed him through the racks and told him what went with what and scolded him on some of the fashion choices he was making. After James made all of his choices, Lucy had all of the racks removed except for the one with the clothes they wanted on it. James took his phone out of his pocket, unlocked it and handed it to me.

"Tweet about my side for me while I get changed, please."

"Alright." I told him and he was gone within seconds. I looked at his twitter and tried to think of what he would say. I decided to respond to one of the fans that asked James why he was at the hospital.

"I bruised my side while riding an ATV." I replied and put James' phone on hold. For some reason watching James try on different clothes and asking for my opinion was more fun than I expected. Once they decided on the ones for the show, James came back over and straddled me while I played a game on my phone.

"Sorry if this is really boring." He said and I looked up at him after losing the game.

"It's fun actually."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Kendall, you're something special, you know that."

"I'm not the one with billions of fans."

"Yeah, but fans won't make you special. It's something you're born with."

"Again, still you."

"Would you just take my compliment so I can kiss you?" I couldn't help but laugh at that before he leaned down and kissed me. He grabbed my face and my hands moved around to grip his ass. Someone cleared their throat and James broke away from me, twisting around to see that Kelly was standing there.

"I would like to do your hair but you're obviously busy." James laughed at Kelly's word before he climbed off of me. The closer it got towards the show, the more people showed up and the hallways got busier and busier. James left for the meet and greet and when he came back, he changed his clothes and a stage hand came in to help him put on his mic. I was surprised when he grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room and down the hall. He let go of my hand to unbutton some buttons on his shirt before we turned a corner where all of his background dancers and a few important people stood waiting. We formed a little prayer circle before James started the blessing of his show. Once it was over, the background dancers all scattered while James adjusted his mic.

"You can watch the show from anywhere you like." He told me before someone handed me a backstage pass.

"I like the front row view." I told him and he smiled, blushing a little. He looked around and I smirked, knowing that he wanted to kiss me. He gave me a quick peck before he headed to the stage. As I watched the show, there was only one thing going through my mind.

How in the world did I ever get so lucky?

A/N: I thought I should end it here because going over the whole concert thing will be boring a second time around and I just loved this cute ending right here. I also liked this chapter because it really focuses on how James and Kendall work together, especially with Mrs. Diamond trying to bribe Kendall out of James' life. I'm interested in seeing everyone's reactions throughout the story's progression so consider leaving a review. They are much appreciated! Thanks for reading! :D
