Chapter Two: What To Do.
"I can't figure out what's better. The fact that he is laying beside me or the fact that he loves me," Hadley thinks to herself.
She turns to her side and sits her head on James' chest.
She breaks the silence, "Isn't it a beautiful day?" she sighs.
"Everything's beautiful to me," James replies as he smiles softly.
He kisses her on the forehead, stretches, and goes to the bathroom.
Hadley can't help but smile to herself.
James peeks his head out the bathroom door.
"I have to work today with the boys at the studio, but we can do something tonight," he mumbles due to the fact he is brushing his teeth at the same time.
"I'll wait for you forever," Hadley replies.
James leans up against the doorframe with his jeans on and shirtless. His tan skin glistens in the sunlight peering through his apartment window. He grabs his plaid pajama pants off of the bathroom floor and flings them in the hamper. He leans across the bed and kisses Hadley on the cheek.
"I'll love you forever," he says in reply.
James finishes getting ready and heads out.
"Tonight!" James says smiling as he is going out the door.
Hadley decides to turn on the television and E! News is on. Coincidentally, a picture of her and James pops up, but rips in half.
The host comes on. "The latest rumor in Hollywood! Has Big Time Rush hottie, James Maslow, dumped his girlfriend, Hadley Givens? Well, seen here, the pop star seems to have moved on."
On the screen, James is seen walking with a brunette into the studio where Big Time Rush is recording.
Hadley flips out and calls James right away.
"GET OVER HERE, NOW!" yells Hadley angrily.
"I can't come right now, babe. I'm really busy," James replies.
"Yeah, right, whatever. I know what you're doing." She hangs up on him.
Meanwhile in the studio, James takes the phone from his ear and shoves it in his back pocket. He turns to Karlee, Kendall's best friend (and crush :]), who was bringing back lattes for the gang. She hands Logan, who was sitting on the sound controls, a latte, then sits down next to James, who has an extremely puzzled look on his face.
"You okay?" Logan asks.
"Not really. Hadley's mad at me and I have no idea why," he says addressing both Logan and Karlee.
"She texted me this morning saying you said you will love her forever or something like that," Karlee replies.
"She probably thinks you're back together with Ellie," Logan says making a gesture towards the recording booth. In the recording booth are Kendall, Carlos, and Ellie working on vocals. Ellie isn't well known, but she does a lot of background for the boys. She is tall, average size, and has on ripped black skinnies, black Converse's, a black t-shirt, and a light purple and gray hoodie with a homemade cut V-neck. She catches Logan staring at her and removes the headphones from one of her ears.
"Uh, Logan? You're staring again," Ellie laughs.
Logan turns back to James and clears his throat.
"News says you and Hadley split," says Karlee tapping on her iPhone.
"Ugh, those people never leave me alone. Ellie and I are only friends," James says.
"You sure about that? You know how these things turn out, James," Logan replies.
James thinks for a moment. "Yeah. We're just friends. I think. I don't know. STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT LOGAN."
"You left a great girl," Logan says picking up his latte and leaves the room.
"It's okay, J. Let him cool off," Karlee chimes as she walks out.
James sits there. Alone.
He looks though the glass and sees Ellie laughing at something Carlos did and admires her smile.
He smiles to himself.
"I didn't do anything wrong," he sighs.
