Ch. 8

My fault?

Babe looked at Kendall and saw the look on her face and knew that her job at Fusion was not going to be fun but Zach needed to know the truth. Zach loved Kendall and even though he was an asshole he didn't deserve this. And Babe kind of enjoyed doing this after he had just threatened her.

"How could you..." Zach stared at Kendall and couldn't finish his sentence.

"JR needed my help. Babe was being her usually skank self and so I knew I had to help him."

"By what, sticking your tongue down his throat?" Babe asked, and Kendall glared at her.

"So you decided to become a whore just like Babe to help JR?" Zach asked.

Babe sighed, "Hello, Babe is right here."

JR walked up by Babe, "I asked for her help. It's not her fault."

Both Babe and Zach turned and stared at him.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Babe said, and JR looked at her.

"Oh yes, it's not her fault. Because JR Chandler asked her for help so she couldn't possibly say no." Zach said sarcastically.

"Zach, it's not like that." Kendall pleaded.

"I'll have our divorce papers on your desk by tomorrow." Zach said coldly.

He turned and walked out of the office without a second glance at anyone. He faced the back of elevator until the door closed.

"This is your entire fault!" Kendall screamed at Babe.

"My fault? Are you kidding me? I wasn't the one who cheated on Zach!" Babe yelled back.

"You stupid bitch! You just ruined everything with Zach!" Kendall yelled, swinging for Babe's face.

JR grabbed her hand and stopped her, "This is not Babe's fault, it's ours."

"How can you sit there and say that?" Kendall asked.

JR just stood there and stared at her, and Kendall looked at Babe who was also watching her. She pulled her hand out of JR's grip and turned and walked away.

"You made a big mistake Babe, a big mistake!" Kendall yelled while walking into the elevator her soon to be ex-husband just got out of.

Babe shook her head and the door closed. Babe turned and walked back and sat at the desk, and JR stood by the door.

"What are you still doing here?" Babe asked.

JR sighed, "Listen Babe, I'm sorry."

"For what, sleeping with Kendall after you told me you loved me? Yeah sure, no problem."

"Hey, don't forget that you slept with my brother, after we were married." JR told her.

Babe looked at him, "This was about Jamie and your lack of trust in me, isn't it? You wanted to get me back for getting together with him in the first place. And you don't trust me after everything so you thought, 'Hey why don't I just sleep with Kendall to get back at her?' Well, it worked."

"I didn't want this to happen, these feelings... they were supposed to be gone." JR sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"Well, I guess you don't really have to worry anymore because the feelings I had for you are gone, so feel free to ignore yours." Babe said coldly, grabbing her coat.

"Where are you going?" JR asked.

"I don't know. Away from you." She said and stopped in front of JR, "I-I thought we would... I bet it would have been better the second time around." Babe sighed and grabbed her purse.

Babe got in the elevator, not looking at him.

JR slumped against the wall and sighed. After a while of sitting there, he got up and got in his car, driving towards the one person he knew that could help him.

Jamie was on the phone with Bianca when he heard knocking on his door. Correction, it was more like banging. Whoever was out there was anxious to get in.

"I'm coming!" Jamie called impatiently, setting the phone on the table.

Jamie pulled open the door and saw JR standing there, "What are you doing here?"

"I need to talk to you." JR said, walking in.

"Come in." Jamie said sarcastically to JR's back.

Jamie walked to the table and picked up the phone, "Bianca, I've got to let you go, JR's here."

Jamie hung up the phone and looked at JR, "What do you want?"

"I don't know what to do Jamie. I messed up, bad." JR sighed, running a hand through his hair.

"Are we talking about you sleeping with Kendall to hurt Babe?" Jamie asked.

JR nodded and sat on the couch, "I just saw you and her together and my mind thought about the worst situation possible. But it's not that much of a stretch; I mean you too did sleep together while we were together." JR said.

"But JR, you and Babe aren't together. Remember, you made that perfectly clear to her."

"I know, I know, but just because I said that it doesn't mean I wanted it to happen."

"JR, why are you here, really? It's not to tell me about the mistakes... well at least half of it was."

"I want to win her back. I want Babe back, and I need your help."

"Why does everyone always come to me for this stuff?" Jamie asked, standing up.

"Well, you're a good problem solver... I guess. I don't know! I just, want to make it right."

"You really love her, huh?" Jamie asked quietly.

JR nodded, "Always."

Jamie was torn. He didn't know what to do. He had Bianca wanting his help to make sure JR and Babe stayed apart. She was convinced all JR would do is hurt Babe, and maybe this time even worse. They weren't even together and JR has already broken her heart. Jamie agreed with a lot of what she said, and he had his own selfish reasons for not wanting Babe and JR together.

One the other hand, here was JR also wanting his help. The real JR. Jamie's brother. Babe was the only person who could bring out this man, and Jamie wasn't sure if what she was doing was the wrong thing. Babe and JR have always had some sort of connection, and Jamie had stood in the way of that for a long time. Right now he could get them back together and they would become a happy family with Little A.

God, why am I always in the middle of these things? Jamie thought to himself.
