A/N: I know another short chapter. I've come to the realization that I am truly writing this like a soap opera, so I find myself cutting chapters where scenes would be cut. Sorry, but that is how it is coming out. So you might get a lot of really short chapters, but I promise that because of that I'll update as often as I can. For instance, the next chapter is probably going to come in a couple hours. WARNING: this chapter is all Jarr.

(About 3 hours ago)

She really has no idea what she is doing here; she knows she probably shouldn't be. No, she knows she DEFINITELY shouldn't be, but yet here she is. Probably because it is the one place that Cole wouldn't want her to be or it is the one place he told her to go. Either way here she is standing in front of the door waiting for him to answer, which he does.

"Starr, what are you doing here?"

"You want me to leave?"

"Of course not, come on in."

She enters. He closes the door and turns to face her.

"So… here to tell me again how much you and Cole love each other and how happy you are?"

"No…"

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Cole and I got into this huge fight. Of course about you and Hannah, what else is knew."

James smirks, "oh so everything isn't all honky dory at the Thornhart-Manning residence."

"You can wipe that smirk off your face. It was just a fight, we'll get over it."

"Well what can I do for you, Twinkle?"

"You can stop calling me Twinkle, for one."

"You got it… Twinkle." He smirks at her again. This time she just smirks back. "Seriously though, why did you come here?"

"I don't know. I just… I really don't know."

"Well I'm glad you did. Starr, I know you don't want to hear it but you aren't happy."

"James, not again."

"Come on, I know you know it, you just keep lying to yourself. Cole can't make you smile, not like..."

"Like what… you?"

"Yeah. Can't you see it? You and me, together? We'd be perfect."

"No one's perfect."

"We would be. And original recipe Starr would be back for good."

Starr snorts at this.

James grabs her hand, "Twinkle, we'd be perfect."

He goes in to kiss her but she backs up, "This was a mistake. I… I have to go."

So goes to leave, "Wait." James walks up behind her and puts his hand on her arms, "don't go. Please."

"James…"

He turns her around and kisses her. She hesitates at first, but then gives in. Then her cell phone begins to ring. She pulls back. James sighs. She searches through her bag for it; she finally finds it and sees "Cole" flashing on the screen. All the anger she felt earlier from their fight comes rushing back, she hits ignore, puts her phone on vibrate, and looks at James, "Where were we?"

She pulls him into a kiss. She just wants to forget Cole and her anger toward him at the moment. She wants to forget everything about that fight. She just wants to feel something, anything, that doesn't hurt.

Things start to heat up between the two and he begins to lead her to the bed room. She pulls back once again, "James, I don't kn…"

"Shhh, don't fight it."

He kisses her again and leads her into his room and shuts the door.

Meanwhile Starr's phone begins to vibrate in her bag, her first missed call of many.
