Chapter 5: promises, promises!
LOBBY
'You know what! Just keep your greasy little Minnesota hands off my boyfriend you whore!" Jo yelled at Maggie who had been passing through the lobby. "Everyone can see that you're all over him, and guess what! It's pathetic! 'Ooh Kendall help me with hockey, ooh Kendall, what's this pitch, Kendall, Kendall, Kendall! Get your own boyfriend you pathetic little slut!"
Maggie stood shocked at what was happening around her. She didn't say anything, just stood, completely defenseless. She signed and walked to the other side of the lobby. Not dignifying the outrageous girl with a response.
Kendall came out from where the elevators were and stood, staring disgustedly at Jo.
"So, now I see what everyone meant." He told her
'What do you mean?" she asked sweetly, clinging on to his arm.
"No, get off of me,"
"Why honey."
"And stop calling me that. Were through!"
"But Kendall!"
"NO! SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND! MY OTHER BEST FRIENDS LITTLE SISTER! YOU CAN'T JUST CALL HER A WHORE AND A SLUT! BECAUSE SHE'S NOT! YOU ARE! OKAY, YOU THINK I DIDN'T KNOW! I WAS SO IN LOVE WITH YOU THAT I OVERLOOKED IT! THOUGHT IT WAS A PHASE! BUT THIS! THIS IS CROSSING A LINE! SO GOODBYE JO!" he yelled at her.
He turned around to shoo everyone away when he caught eyes with Maggie. He wanted to hug her, kiss her, because he knew he loved her. She averted her eyes from his. Guilt was wracking her insides. Kendall had loved Jo, and he just broke up with Jo, because of her? Maggie couldn't make eye contact! She ran out the lobby and hailed a cab, not knowing where she was running too, just whom she was running from.
PALMWOODS PARK
"Here just take a bite!" Carlos teased Katie
"No! That thing is disgusting! What exactly is in it?" she joked back
"It's a classic PB &J with pickles, mustard, ham, and tomatoes."
'And you eat this regularly."
"Its what gives me my boyish charm."
"You have charm/"
"Ouch!"
"Ooh, poor baby. I'm sorry." She told his sarcastically.
Katie started to strum on her guitar.
"What are you writing babe?" Carlos asked.
"A song."
"About what?"
"About you."
"Well, maybe we could write this song together."
"Like a duet?"
"Exactly. Just the two of us."
"That's so sweet. Absolutely!"
"So you start with what you've got and I'll jump in."
Katie: Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Oh
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Wish there was a way that I can make you understand
So how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
Carlos: I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down for real
But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived
I don't know how, but I don't even care
BOTH: So how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe
Carlos looked at Katie. He knew that the words in the song were true. He wouldn't survive without her. She was her everything, and so much more.
Katie suddenly sat up straight.
"Maggie's crying!" she told Carlos
"Are you psychic?" he asked.
"No I just saw her leave the lobby in tears. She hailed a cab."
Kendall then appeared through the lobby doors obviously looking for Maggie.
"You go talk to him, I'm going to go see if I can track Maggie down."
"I'll do my best."
They kiss before they go on their separate missions.
APARTMENT 2K
Jamie walked back through the door after her workout. She had left Maggie at the lobby because Maggie wanted to grab some more towels. She walked towards her room to get her stuff for the shower when she noticed the new writing on her picture of the boys. All of the boys were marked by the girl who liked him. Jamie hadn't wanted to do it at first so Izzy had written "Property of Jamie Bennet" on his white shirt that made his abs look INCDEIBLE! Over the top of the photo in Logan's doctorly chicken scratch read "Come see me, we need to talk." With an arrow pointing to the writing on the shirt. Jamie took a deep breath and head over to Apartment 2J.
She entered the apartment and called out his name.
"In the shower!" he replied. She sat down and found a notebook on the table. It was one of Logan's school books. She opened it up and looked through his latest science notes.
On the margins were notes to and from the boys. Then on the latest page was a conversation between Logan and Kendall from yesterday.
Dude! What are you gonna do about jo?
What do you mean logan?
I mean the fact that youre still dating her, when you love Maggie.
Can we not use her real name in here. James could see.
So what should we call her
I don't know. How about perfect? Oh wait no! that's already your name for Jamie.
Touche.
Jamie was shocked at this. Logan thought she was perfect?
"what are you reading?" logan asked from behind her.
"Nothing!" she squealed as she tried to hid the open notebook. It fell to the floor and Logan picked it up.
"I can explain."
"theres no need. You said you wanted to talk to me."
"oh! Right yeah. Um… what did izzy mean when she said that I was your property. Not that I minded, I was just confused."
"Um… well remember how back home I had a crush on you. How I blushed whenever you talked to me, and I nearly passed out the day that you gave me your sweatshirt."
He chucked and pulled her close.
"yeah I remember."
"well I kind of still do. So now I'll just be going." She pulled away and started to walk briskly to the door, he grabbed her hand before she could get very far and pulled her back in.
"Logan!"
"Shh! Just stop talking. Do you remember how I used to come to all of your shows and auditions. How I used to follow you around like a puppy, wishing you would give me the time of day. How I used to snort every time you blushed, or how the day you took my sweatshirt I knew that as long as you had it, I never wanted it back. Do you remember the day James kissed Camille and even though it hurt, I was okay because it meant that if I saw you again, I could care for you like I did back then. You may not have known, or remember. But its true. I had and still have a crush on you Jamie Bennet"
she stood shocked. And he took the moment to swoop down and kiss her. Both of them never wanting to come back up for air.
POOL
Izzy was sitting on James lap as the read the latest issue of Tiger Beat talking about the cast of Glee.
"So if I was a charchter on Glee, which would I be?" he asked.
"Sam, most definatley." She told him.
"Not Puck the ladies man?"
"No, because Puck is a man whore, you are cute, flirty, girls love you, have a good voice, and an amazing girlfriend." She told him taking a quick peck on the lips.
"so that would make you quinn?" he asked.
"yeah, but second season quinn, not teenage pregnant cheats on her boyfriend Quinn."
"Good to know." He went in for another kiss when he saw Maggie run through the lobby with tears in here eyes and Kendall following soon after.
"I have to go!" he told izzy getting p really quickly and pushing her to the ground.
"excuse me!" she yelled shocked at her boyfriend.
"Maggie is crying I need to go see if she is okay."
"She's a big girl James, I think she can handle it on her own."
"She's my baby sister Bells, I need to make sure she's okay."
"God James! I love her too! But why are you always so protective. I'm your girlfriend and youre just leaving me because Maggie's sad!"
"God Bells! I cant let Maggie be upset oka. Its bad enough I just left her, after all that we went through as kids I cant do something like that again. She's still a little girl in my eyes and if you can't respect that I need to be there for my sister then I guess we're done!" he yelled at her across the pool.
"James!" she called for him, but it was already too late.
APARTMENT 2J
Flashback***
A six year old Maggie is sitting on the swings crying. Kendall comes over and sits on the swing next to her.
"What's wrong Maggie?" he asked.
"my mommy is gone." She choked out between sobs.
"so is my daddy." He said, referring back to a year ago when his father had left.
"But you're daddy could come back. Mommy is gone forever."
"What do you mean?" he asked
"She went to heaven. She booked a trip and went to heaven, and she is never coming back. She bought a one way ticket."
"How did it happen?" kendall asked.
"Daddy just said she did it herself. He didn't know how or why, just said that she did it herself. And now… now I'm worried."
"For what Mags?"
"That someday, I'm going to do the same thing." She told him.
"I wont let you Maggie. I promise to be there for you! But you have to promise me that you wont let me leave, like my daddy did."
"I promise!" she said. They spit in their hands and shook on it in six year old fashion.
"and I promise to look for the best mommy for your babies, because now I know bad ones, so I could look for good ones!" she told him.
"and I can look for a good daddy for your babies! I promise I'm gonna find the greatest daddy I can!" he told her and the spit shook once again.
END OF FLASHBACK ***
Kendall's memory ended right as the door to his room opened.
"so what happened dude?" Carlos asked him.
"What do you mean? The makeout session in the living room? I just saw that when I got here."
"No dude! I mean with Maggie? Why was she crying."
"Because I love her."
"Excuse me?"
"Well I mean, I broke up with Jo, because I love her, and I didn't tell Jo that but Jo was being mean to Maggie and that was kind of the last straw so I broke up with Jo, and Maggie knows its about her and some level and she ran out crying because I think she feels guilty. But the truth of the matter is, is that I haven't loved Jo at all since Maggie came storming through that door a couple of weeks ago."
"So what are you going to do?"
"I don't know. Sit here and mope?"
"No! I'm gonna sound like you right now, but are you going to pull the goalie and just give up, or are you going to steal the puck, check a dude and BIG TIME RUSH THE NET?"
"Rush the net!" Kendall said springing up from the bed.
"Good!" Carlos said.
"But I need to discuss all of this with james first!" Kendall said as he left the apartment.
