"Yeah, well, I can. I love you Alexa, and nothing's going to change the way I feel about you." and that's when my heart stopped. I couldn't believe what he said. He loves me was all I could think about. Everything else drew a blank. My mouth was open wide with shock, then the next thing I knew, he began to cress my face, his thumb outlining my jaw line. Then, his hand stiffened behind my neck, and he pulled me closer, his eyes slowly closing with every inch.

"Wait, were you about to kiss me?" I stopped him in his tracks. He looked at me sadly, then smiled shyly.

"Yeah, I think I was."

"But I'm sick," I bluntly stated.

"Well, then let me get sick from you." then before I knew it, he repeated the motions again, only this time, faster.

Our lips instantly connected, and everything around us went white. There was nothing, but us two. No one can tell us what to do, we were alone. The kiss was deep, yet calming. When we finally pulled apart, we both looked at each other lovingly. His green eyes started to change to a deep color of gold. The light reflected off them perfectly, as if they were two mirrors.

"Wow," was all I could say.

"Yeah," he smiled. "If that doesn't prove my love, I don't know what will." He laughed softly along with me.

"I really appreciate that, Kendall. I do, really! But…"

"I understand. I'm not good enough."

"No no no! you are perfect. It's just, I'm going through a lot right now. And I'm just so confused! I'm really sorry Kendall."

"I get it. well, I have to go." He got up slowly and headed out my door. "But I still love you."

And with that, he left.

After a good week or so, I was finally feeling better. Logan gave me all the homework and notes, which I thanked him for. I came home from school that day as usual. My mom left a note on the fridge that she wouldn't be back till late and she left money for me to order pizza. I decided to call the guys and Jo, I haven't seen her in forever!

I dialed the guys numbers and they all answered. They were on their way now. When I dialed Jo's number, it went start to voicemail. I tried again, but the same happened. I then thought that her cell phone might have been dead, so I called her house, but no one answered.

After 20 minutes of trying, I gave up and sent her a text.

Hey, I'm having the guys over for pizza! You should come over, I haven't seen you in a while!

I waited about 10 minutes for her reply, but still nothing. I heard a knock on the door and went to open it. I found James, Logan, and Kendall in my doorway, but no Carlos.

"Where's the loveable Latino?" I asked playfully.

"He had to do something quickly, then he will be here." James said. I shrugged and motioned all of them to the couch. After 5 minutes, Carlos came and we all were sitting on the couch waiting for the pizza man to come. I decided to sit in the corner next to Logan, just so I didn't have to choose between Carlos and Kendall. We started watching "500 First Dates" with Adam Sandler, when the doorbell rang once again. I hoped it was Jo, but when I opened the door, it was the pizza boy.

I shut the door behind me after paying for our pizza. I took it over to the table and the boys followed after me. They didn't find it weird that Jo wasn't here. In fact, she wasn't in school for a while too! Where could she be? I wondered to myself.

"Hey," I called out to the boys. They all lifted their heads up simultaneously with pizza all over their faces. "Has anyone seen Jo in school? I called and texted her today to ask her if she wanted to come over, and I got no reply."

"I don't know," James spoke up. "She said that she was going on vacation 2 weeks ago."

"Yeah, speaking of which," Carlos added. "I walked passed her house to get her today, and her mail wasn't touched."

"That's really strange." I said under my breath, but it was loud enough for Kendall to hear.

"She's probably packing her bags right now wherever she is."

Jo's POV:

I looked down at my phone with a sigh. I got 3 text messages and 2 missed phone calls all from the same person. Alexa. I held my phone up to my eyes for another moment, then threw my phone into my drawer. I looked out into the New Zealand area. I really missed my friends, but this is important for me. I finally got a call-back for a show, but it airs in New Zealand. And I'm going to be here for 3 years. And I could only think of one person, Kendall.

Alexa's POV:

After a good hour or so of just eating, we all decided to walk off the fat we just engulfed. I vollenteered to go to the pond, but the guys had another thing in mind. They all told me to close my eyes, because it was a surprise. I laughed at their immautirty, and closed my eyes. I felt 8 hands pushing me into one direction, but I just didn't know where. When they told me to open my eyes, I slowly did so.

I gasped at what I saw. We were on top of mountain, looking over at a giant waterfall. The air was crisp, but there was still a soft breeze. I stood there in awe, only thinking one thing. How did these idiots find this?

"My mom," Carlos began to answer my internal question, "found this place while looking for a place to stay. We didn't choose the house next to this property, though, but every time I want to get away, I come here."

"Yeah," Logan chimed in, "And then he told us about this and we all started coming here." I looked out into the wild air. I was in awe at how beautiful this was. I turned to the idiots, who were all smiling widely, and joined along in their smiles.

"This is beautiful! How do you dumbbells find something this amazing?" I asked jokingly.

"We just said." They said in unision. I laughed at their stupidness because it was a rhetorical question, but I nodded anyway. I continued to look out into the horizion when I felt a hand on my back. I jumped slightly and turned to see who it was. It was James.

"Oh, you scared me. What's up?" I asked. James sat down with a sly smile playing on his lips.

"Nothing, you like this view?"

"Yes, it's so magnificent." I spread my arms towards the view with a smile.

"I'm glad you like it. Carlos picked it out to go to."

"Oh, that's nice," I said softly, not wanting James to see my face. But he caught a glance anyway.

"So, does this help in anyway?"

"No, in fact, it makes it worse. Thanks so much Mr. Helpful." I said sarcastically.

"Oh, well, sorry. I thought this will make it obvious, but I guess Kendall did something more magnificent."

"He kissed me, when I was sick." James looked at me confused, and I told him the whole story. He smiled softly and nodded.

"I see," he sounded almost disappointed.

"Why are you so set on Carlos?" I asked curiously.

"Well, to be honest, it's not like I hate Kendall or anything!" he stated first to clear the air. "But, Kendall has had many girlfriends, he knows what it's like to like someone. But Carlos, you are his first love. And if you choose him, you will be his first girlfriend."

"I didn't know that I am Carlos' first!" I said sincerely surprised.

"Yeah, so, that's why I have some sympathy for him. He doesn't know the feeling he is feeling either."

"Wait," I said, still so confused. "He's confused too?"

"Yeah, the dude doesn't know what to do with himself!" James empesized.

"I see." I got up and slowly walked to Carlos. I finally decided.

WELL, I THINK ALEXA MADE HER CHOICE ;) ! JUST ONE QUESTION THOUGH… CAN I DELETE THE FILES OFF THE UPLADER (THINGY)? I REALLY NEED TO KNOWW ! THANKKS !

PLEASEE REVIEWW !
