CHAPTER 7: LEAVING THE SUITE LIFE

Today is the day. The day wherein the boys have to kick their butts out there so they could push through with their Summer Tour. I fix myself up the bed only to find Kendall's bed empty, all his luggage is finally packed and ready to leave in a minute.

I sigh and fix my bed quickly. I rush to washroom and clean myself up. This will probably be the last day I'll be having on this cruise ship. We're leaving tomorrow morning, 8am. I change to my usual office attire, the plastic bag with all the evidence of me copying Jo is hidden in my closet, I take it out and throw it to the water out of the ship.

I've hated myself ever since. Kendall liked me for me, but still I yet to force him to like me in such a way that hurts him. I let my hair down combing it, I'll be straightening it tonight for the performance. I brush my teeth and apply my usual makeup and head out to Gustavo's office.

All the boys crowd all together at Gustavo's table. I draw closer to Kendall but that only leads him to going to the other side of the table, totally avoiding me. I sigh and just listen to Gustavo's announcements, taking down every detail and more schedules.

"Okay, so DOGS! Perform at your best tonight, if you don't do good, Well. You aren't gonna have a summer tour. And.." but I interrupt him, finally.

"And you wouldn't like that. Right?" I say, the boys look down and reply,

"We wouldn't." they harmonize.

"Well then let's get started! I chose all the outfits needed for your.." but into my shock, I was interrupted rudely by Kendall.

"Yeah yeah yeah, I got that. So am I done here? I just need to perform for tonight right then I can finally skunk out of my annoying room in this stupid ship?" I stomp my foot in anger and scream at Kendall.

"You know? I could just be relaxing right now on our last day on this cruise ship. But NO! I work my ass off for you guys, for Gustavo, for the company, FOR YOU. But you return me with this rejection? Look, I'm sooo sorry if things never went your way on this ship. I'm sorry for pretending to be someone I'm not. But can we just get this thing over with so I could finally, resign?" I sigh, take my planner and leave Gustavo and the rest with no other words, slamming the door shut.

I run back to my room and start packing everything, I grab everything I left on this ship and put it all back to my luggage, I drag everything I brought here outside of my room and start weeping infront of the door. Why, why do I have to deal with such? I continue crying myself out until James helps me up. I give James a quick hug and he brings me to his headquarters.

He helps me cope with the situation which I almost never saw in James. I tell him everything and explained it thoroughly. He hands me a tissue box,

"Kelly, I'm sorry. Here, to lighten up your mood. Help me find a girl to hit on. Sounds good?" He says in such a positive tone.

I giggle a bit and drag him out of the room. Hmm. It's really hard to find James' type. As long as she's really pretty or famous, that's for James. We lurk around yet we see no one. We tried few girls but it only ended up me calming her down.

The whole day was not really wasted, but it was alright. The clock strikes 5pm and it's a signal we should start fixing everything. We go back to James' room and there I apply my makeup and do my hair. James' stylist is fixing him which just leads me into chatting with him.

I check the clock again and it's an hour before showtime. Me and James pass through a secret passage way in order for us not to be lost in the crowd. We reach backstage and me and James depart. I wave him goodbye only to find myself bumping into Kendall.
