Chapter 3! This chapter is basically Cat and James' 'date' sorta, IDK. So, they basically get to know each other better and at the end we find out why Kendall was being a douche. (You might be shocked). Also, It's December in the story too, just its warmer at daytime, then it gets colder at night. Oh and yeah, Jo is already in New Zealand, so Kendall is single.

Disclaimer!; Uhm, I don't own anything but the plot of this story ): Which is really sad.
~3rd PoV~
The happy couple strolled through the Palms Woods lobby, love floating in the air they breathed in. They could have fooled anyone that they've been together for ages. No on would have ever thought they just met only hours ago. Hand in hand, they made their way outside, the sun starting to paint a beautiful portrait of pinks, oranges ,and yellows over the horizon. This made an idea spark into James' mind.
"Hey, Kitty? Do you want to go to the beach? We can get smoothies on the way!" James didn't even have to wait for a response, once he saw that bright smile spread across her flawless face, he knew she agreed.
As they walked to the beach, smoothies in one hand, hands in the other, they made small talk, about where they came from, siblings, and telling each other their favorite things. By this time, they were at the beach, sitting on the sand, asking each other why they were in Hollywood, as they still had their hands intertwined.
"It's always been one of my dreams to be famous, so when I saw that Gustavo, my producer, was coming to Minnesota for auditions, I knew I had to audition for him. Once all four of us got their, we each auditioned, excepted for Kendall. When I performed and messed up, he told me leave and that I had no talent. . .it almost destroyed all my hopes and dreams."
"Then how are you here if...?"
"Kendall freaked out when Gustavo said that, came running from the audience, jumped right in front of him and started to sing 'The Giant Turd Song' to him. Security guards pulled Kendall off the desk, then in a flash we were all trying to defend Kendall from them. Cops were called and we were all brought to Kendall's house. Just a few minutes later, Gustavo was at the door, asking KENDALL to come back to Hollywood with him."
"Then how are all of you-" James brought a finger to her lips and hushed her politely.
"Almost finished with my story, Kitty. Okay ,anyway, Kendall at first, refused, but once we told him, the next day, that all three of us would go to Hollywood with a giant turd producer like him, he decided that the best thing to do was to bring all of us and make us into a band." James said, smiling at the glorious moment that changed his life forever.
"Oh yeah! I thought I recognized you guys from some where! Big Time Rush right?" Cat asked excitingly and James nodded, loving the excitement that was flowing through the red-head.
"Oh! I heard one of your guy's songs before! I think it was called. . .Nothing Even Matters? It was on the 'New Town High' show!" James nodded once again, before letting Cat ramble back on.
"Can I hear you sing? Pleaseeeeeeeeee?" Cat asked looking up at James with puppy dog eyes and her lips puffed out. James swears to himself, that has never seen anything cuter. How could he say no to that?
"As long as you sing with me." Cat titled her head into confusion, wondering how he knew she could sing.
"How did you know I could sing?" James leaned in to kiss her lips softly, enjoying the taste of the smoothie mixing in with Cat's own unique flavor. As he was leaning away from Cat, he whispered into her ear, "I didn't. Even if you couldn't, I still would want you too." With a kiss to her ear, James finally leaned all the way back, to look into Cat's chocolate brown eyes that he had grown to love in just a few hours, and asked her to pick a song.
"I want to sing that song, Nothing Even Matters, I know the chorus by heart! You'll sing the verses!" James just nodded and smiled loving how happy his Kitty was.
"Okay." With that, James took a deep breath and started singing the beginning of the song.
'Cause the world stops
When I put my arms around you, around you, oh, woah
And nothing even matters
And nothing even matters.'
'It's like one for the haters and two for all of those
Who try to shut us down, they don't really know
There ain't nothing they can do that can tear us apart, no.'
'I don't care about the money, don't care about the clothes
When we're together, baby, anything goes
'Cause we don't even need to prove what we feel in our hearts, no.'
'This wall we built together
There ain't no way of knocking it over
We'll be here forever
Getting closer and closer, baby!'
James continued singing into the chorus, as Cat jumped in.
'Cause the world stops
When I put my arms around you, around you, oh, woah
And nothing even matters
And nothing even matters,'
'They can all talk
Say what they want about us, about us, oh, woah
And nothing even matters, woah
And nothing even matters,'
James almost missed the second verse, due to the fact that he was blown away by Cat's incredible voice. How could a voice so big and beautiful come out such a small girl?
'It's like the sound goes off and the people all freeze
They disappear and it's just you and me
Anything you want to do, anything that you please, oh, woah, no'
'Forget about our problems, forget about our past
I've seen the future and I know we're gonna last
Every second I'm with you just goes so fast, woah, oh, woah'
'This wall we built together
There ain't no way of knocking it over
We'll be here forever
That I told you, that I told you, baby!'
James mentally braced himself to hear Cat sing again, because really, she had to be one of the best singers he had ever heard.
'Cause the world stops
When I put my arms around you, around you, oh, woah
And nothing even matters, eh
And nothing even matters'
'They can all talk
Say what they want about us, about us, oh, woah
And nothing even matters, woah
And nothing even matters'
As he sang the first second of the bridge, he was glad that Cat knew that part too, and was going to sing it with him.
'Nothing even matters, woah
And nothing even matters, woah
We don't even need to fight
Everything will be alright, oh, yeah
Nothing even matters but you and I!'
After they finished the long note, they looked into each others eyes, before Cat decided to finish off the song.
'Cause the world stops
When I put my arms around you, around you, oh, woah
And nothing even matters, nothing even matters
And nothing even matters
They can all talk
Say what they want about us, about us, oh, woah
And nothing even matters, woah
And nothing even matters
'Cause the world stops
When I put my arms around you, around you, oh, woah
And nothing even matters, nothing even matters
And nothing even matters, baby
They can all talk
Say what they want about us, about us, oh, woah
And nothing even matters, woah
And nothing even matters, but you and I!'
After Cat finished, adding her own little touch into the end, James clapped, surprised that his girlfriend could sing so perfectly.
"Cat! That was amazing! That was the best singing I've ever heard!" Cat blushed and dropped her head down, not so later though, James put a finger under her chin, making her eyes look into his own, her soon getting lost in the browns and greens of James' eyes.
"Seriously, you have such an amazing voice. I'm guessing that's why you and you're family are in Hollywood?" James asked lightly and Cat shook her head no, a frown making its way to her face.
"I'm n-not out here with my family, I'm an emancipated minor. It's kinda like I'm 18, my parents don't have to worry about taking care of me. It all started back when I was 14, and I started to do commercials in studios in the Northern part of California. My mom would get all the money I was earning but instead of even giving me any, she would spend it all on herself, getting plastic surgery. My aunt, Kimberly, noticed the changes and asked how she could afford such surgeries. My mom confessed, only because she was drunk and didn't realize what she was doing. My aunt found recites from the operations and thought it was best to get me emancipated. After I did, my sunt paid for a condo for me to live in, in Hollywood, where I could go to Hollywood Arts and live out my dreams to be a singer and actress. But now, I don't even want to go back there. I'm think about moving somewhere else." After finishing her confession, she cried into James' chest, salty tears streaming down her cheeks.
"I-I just don't know w-where else to go!" James petted her hair, as he tried to think of a solution. Finally,a brilliant idea popped into his head, making a smile grow onto his face.
"You could move into the Palm Woods and go to school there. Maybe I could even convince Gustavo to sign you to Rocque Records." James knew this must had made Cat excited, because she soon had her arms wrapped around James' neck, praising him for his great idea. She then loosened her grip on his neck, and looked into his eyes.
"You would really do that for me? You think I'm that good?" Cat asked quietly, surprised that he would do something so generous for her.
"I would do anything for you, and no, I don't think you're good, I think you're perfect." Cat then blushed once again, not believing how sweet her boyfriend was being.
"Thank you James, this has been the best day of my life." Cat made the first move this time leaning in and attaching her lips to James'. The force Cat had was enough to knock James on his back, them still kissing. The kiss got further, tongues ravishing each others' mouths, trying to find each others sweet spots. Once James' found one of Cat's, he used it to his advantage. As she moaned, James flipped positions and pulled from the kiss to confess something he wasn't 100% sure of.
"Kitty, I love you." While waiting, James just stared into Cat's eyes, hoping he hadn't said those three words too soon.
"James, I love you too! I just wasn't sure if you felt the same, so I didn't say it-" James hushed her once again with the soft touch of his lips on her's and said, "From this moment on, don't ever doubt how much I love you." He put his forehead to her's and started to hum 'Nothing Even Matters', while gazing into her eyes. Cat could have stayed like that forever, but once the cold ocean breeze made contact with her skin, she shivered in James' arms, immediately concerning him.
"We could leave the beach, we've been here for almost two hours." James said, almost in a question, but already knew Cat was freezing and would be wanting to go home.
"Yeah but...that would mean I would have to leave you." Cat said sadly, cuddling into James' embrace.
"I could come back with you to your condo, if you like?"
"You would really do that?"
"Of course, Kendall's mom may not be too happy, but she won't mind that much."
"That's great! So now, let's get off this beach before I freeze to death!" Cat said jokingly, as she rose from the sand and shook some of it off, James following, doing the same thing as well.
"You know I wouldn't let that happen, right?" James cooed, as he wrapped an arm around his Kitty and walked off the beach. She tilted her head to the right, where James face was, kissed him on the cheek and said, "I know."
****Linebreak****
As they stepped out of the cab, they duo dashed into the condo complex, trying to avoid the cold Californian air. Once they finally reached Cat's condo, which was on the third floor, they were exhausted, and were now wondering what time it had been. James, being the only one with his cell phone in hand because Cat had left her's at home that day, checked.
"Wow, it's not as late as I thought it was, it's only 8:30. What do you wanna do?" Without James even noticing, Cat had already gotten changed into Pj's, pink from head to toe.
"Well, we didn't eat dinner, and I have stuff in my fridge that you could make something if you want." Cat offered polity, as she seated herself on her couch, turned on the TV, and looked through her channels for any Christmas specials that could be on.
"Thanks but-" James was interrupted when hs phone started to vibrate in his pocket. He took his phone out and saw the caller was Kendall. He answered it, already knowing why Kendall was calling.
"Hey."
"Dude, where the hell are you? You've been gone for-"
"I know how long I've been gone. Anyway, I'm at Cat's house. I was planning on sleeping over, if that was okay with you, mom." James said, smirking to himself.
"Seriously James? You've known this girl for not even 12 hours and you're sleeping over her house! What the fuck!" James was shocked that Kendall was that mad about him staying over at Cat's. It's not any of his damn business, why does he care so much?
"Kendall, why are you so pissed? Its not a big-"
"Don't you dare say it's not a big deal 'cause it is! All of a sudden you've fallen head over heels for a girl you barely know, when I've been in love with you for years! I don't-"
"Wait...WHAT?" James had to stop Kendall right there. Did he just say he was in love with him? For years? Kendall had some explaining to do.
"Yeah, you heard me! That's why I ignored you and your 'girlfriend' when you tried to introduce her to me. I was so enraged at the moment, that if I said anything, it would have been a scream. I just can't believe you haven't noticed. Why do you think I gave up my dream to be a pro NHL player and come out to L.A? I did it so you could accomplish your dream! I did it to make you happy! I did it because. . .I-I love you, but I guess you don't feel the same." James was completely speechless. the only words that were able to leave his mouth were "But, but, but." Finally after stuttering that word over and over again, James gained the ability to speak a full sentence again.
"A-Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious! I wouldn't be making this shit up! I love you so damn much Jamie, it's crazy. I was so heart-broken when you and Cat came barging into the apartment, making out...I was just at a lost for words..." Before the conversation went on any further, he tried t get out of ear-shot with Cat, so he asked her if she had any spare Pj's that he could wear.
"Yeah, actually, I have a pair of sweats and a tank top from when my brother came over and spent the night once. They're in my room, second door to the right, The clothes are in the bottom draw in my dresser." James nodded to her, as he may his way to Cat's bedroom. Once he had shut the door, he got back to his conversation with Kendall.
"But, then, are you gay or...?"
"I think so. Jo was really just a distraction to keep my mind off you, I guess."
"Wow, Kendall I. . .I'm sorry it's just, I really don't feel the same way." James felt kind of guilty, he knew how it was like to get your hear-broken, but he couldn't even imagine what Kendall was feeling.
"Well, my main concern is that. . .you won't want me to talk to you anymore because you know about me liking you and-"
"Kendall, I was friends with you before I found out. Do you really think it's gonna change anything?" James said, finishing it off with a breathless chuckle, Kendall chuckling as well.
"Yeah, I guess not. So, I guess I should go, leave you alone with your girlfriend." Even though the blonde was trying to hide it, James could hear the venom when he said girlfriend.
"Yeah and again, Kendall, I'm really sorry. I just, you know, don't feel the same."
"It's okay. I just want you to be happy, and if Cat can do that, then be happy with her."
"Thanks man, that really makes me feel better. Well, good-night."
"Yeah, sleep tight." Once James hung up the phone, Kendall fell back to his bed, and whispered, "Sweet Dreams, Jamie. I'll always love you." As he let salty tears finally slip from his emerald orbs.
