Chapter 12

James sighed as he paced around the room; his hands instinctively going over his small baby bump as he though over the hateful words that his mother screamed.

"You will get rid of it!"

The pretty brunette lowered his head as he stopped in the middle of the room. Kendall had left with Mama Knight to try and contact James' father and see if they could get Brooke to come to her sense. So far his father didn't want anything to do with him and his 'freak show' and his mother was nowhere to be found. For all James knew Brooke could have flown back to New York without so much as a second glance toward her son. Letting out another sigh James pulled his phone from his pocket to check and see if he any texts or calls but no. He hadn't heard from Kendall, Mama Knight or his own mother all morning and it was starting to eat at him.

"This is just like what happened in Minnesota." He whispered as he stared into his reflection. That was a dark time for him especially in the middle of his parents' divorce but Kendall was always there. At the time, Kendall thought James had just caught a bad cold when in all reality the same thing that was happening now happened then. The only difference was that the sex was willing this time and he had a doctor that his mother didn't have to threaten with a law suit and slander.

"James?" The brunette turned when he heard the door opening and Kendall's head popped in. The blonde male looked worn and tired and his face was lightly bruised from where he had been hit the day before. Kendall walked in the room and wrapped his arms around his lover; staring at their reflection in the mirror he placed his hands over the small belly that was forming.

"Are you okay?" He asked. James let out another sigh and shook his head as she gazed over Kendall's face. Kendall gave an awkward smile before he kissed the wide shoulder that was covered in a soft, white shirt.

"Then talk to me, babe. Let it all out." And he did. James let all his words that had been minced and hidden in his heart flow forth from his lips. Kendall's eye grew larger and larger as James continued his story about their past lives in Minnesota.

After ten minutes both boys were now sitting on the bed; James staring off randomly and Kendall trying to process everything that he was just told.

"So, wait, that's why you skipped hockey practice all that time because of Rooney?" He asked and James nodded. Kendall rubbed a hand over his face; he hated Rooney since they were kids. He has always gotten a weird vibe from the man but he never thought that he was actually a pervert.

"I had told my mom and she took me to the doctor and they discovered the same thing that Josie did and shortly after that I was sick all the time. My mom refuses to speak of it but she made me have an abortion…I was 14, Kendall." James whispered as he replayed the event and his mother's cold demeanor when she discovered that her son was different. Brooke had always known that something was off about her perfect son and James always knew as well but he never knew what was different. He didn't find out exactly until his mother signed for an abortion that he never understood why he was having in the first place.

"Don't worry, James. The doctor's will get rid of whatever is making you sick and fix you. Then after all of this you can continue to be my perfect little boy. That's what she told me; she said my insides were construed in a way that could ruin my life and that needed to be fixed."

Kendall rolled his eyes thinking of the perfect smile that Brooke wore on her face when she told James' he was basically broken.

"Later I found out that she had signed for the 'extermination of life' and it didn't make sense but now it all does."

"So…you knew that you could get pregnant?" James turned large eyes on Kendall and a tear quickly fell from his long, dark lashes.

"No. Do you think I wanted this? I didn't ask for my body to be like this, Kendall and it hurts that you would think I wouldn't tell you if I honestly knew." Kendall sighed as he scooted closer to his boyfriend; placing a hand on James' knee he gave it a light squeeze before planting a light kiss on James' cheek.

"Why didn't you tell us then? We could have done something about Rooney?" James let out a grunt as he thought about their hockey coach. His mother supposedly had taken care of him but for all he knew that he could still be living a comfortable life touching another small child.

"Like what, Kendall? Have him arrested, yeah. That man was basically untouchable unless he wanted you to touch him." Kendall shivered in disgust at the thought. Rooney was a short, fat, awkward man that would stare at young boys far longer than he should have and Jennifer had always made sure that she stayed close by whenever she dropped Kendall off at hockey practice but Brooke apparently just dumped James off knowing Mama Knight would be there to pick up the pieces. James stood wiping at his face; he turned to his boyfriend and shrugged his shoulders.

"James, you could still have him arrested." Kendall pressed but the brunette just walked out of the room whispering something about his mother being a bitch. Green eyes glittered in anger as Kendall thought about the coach that was supposed to protect them and look after then but instead that man just used James in ways that a child that age should never had been used. Then Brooke, Kendall snarled, he could strangle that woman for what she did to James. How can you call yourself a mother and basically let your son's rapist walk away free without any remorse what so ever. He needed to find her, regardless of whether if it's for James or for him giving her a good cussing out then she needs to be found. James wasn't going to help then he knew exactly who could help him find her.

…

"Have you heard from your mother, dear?" Jennifer asked as James came walking into the room. The brunette sighed and shook his head as he planted his behind on the orange sofa. Staring at the TV; James kicked Katie's foot off the coffee table and occupied the space for himself. Mama Knight let out a sigh as she checked her phone to see if Brooke had responded to any of her messages but as always the woman remained aloof unless she wanted to talk to you. Kendall slammed the bedroom door behind him as he threw his coat on his shoulders; stopping to slip his vans on he walked by the couch to give James a kiss on the lips, kissed Katie on the forehead and stopping to kiss his mother on the cheek he raced out of the door with his phone up to his ear. James went to get up and chase after him but Kendall was already down the hallway and into the elevator before James had gotten to the door.

Pulling his phone out, he went to dial Kendall but the line was busy. James looked over to Jennifer and the woman shrugged her shoulders.

"I have no idea, sweetie." She said and started on dinner. James' eyes stared down the hallway where his boyfriend disappeared and wondered why Kendall left in such a hurry then a realization dawned on his pretty face and he slipped on his shoes and slammed the door behind him.

…

"What do you want boy?"

"Sup Mr. Diamond? I need you to do me a favor." Kendall whispered into the phone; his eyes scanning his surroundings as he walked the street. A scoff was heard over the phone.

"And why should I help you with anything?"

"Because as much as you claim to hate me for whatever reason your son needs at least one parent to be here for him. So, give me information on where you ex-wife could possibly be right now and I'll leave you alone." Kendall chewed at his lip in hopes that Kevin would help him; Mr. Diamond was a bit of a dick but the man was tech savvy. While Brooke was the face of her cosmetic line, Kevin handled the ads, the websites and anything else that Brooke made him do. James was estranged from his father after his parent's divorce and he never knew the actual reason behind it but the disdain that Kevin had for his only son had suggested that something terrible happened that James either didn't remember or knew nothing about.

"Why do you need Brooke?" Kendall let out a frustrated sigh; the one main reason why he hated James' dad was that the man was too damn nosey. Always asking a thousand questions first before he decided on whether or not the reason was good enough for him to do anything. Kendall gave a quick a shortened version of the events that took place over the past few weeks and then he let out an aggravated sigh as the phone line became completely silence he had to check his phone to see whether or not Kevin had hung up on him but the man was still there.

"So, she shunned our son yet again." Kevin finally sounded over the phone after 5 minutes of awkward silence. Kendall heard some clicking and a 'ping' before he was given Brooke's location and the details of her cellphone; Kendall hurriedly thanked Kevin before ending their call and made a mad dash to the hotel that Brooke was currently staying in.

…

Brooke rolled her eyes as she stared down at her blackberry; it was the newest and latest design but yet the thing couldn't hold ten things at once without freezing. What good was a smart phone when it couldn't hold up to its reputation? She decided to toss it when she returned to her room but a tall figure standing in front of the building stooped her.

Hazel clashed with green as Brooke stared Kendall down waiting for the boy to make some sort of stupid proposition as to why he was there.

"What do you want, Kendall?" She asked as she wiped imaginary dust off of her suit and briefcase.

"You need to talk to your son." Kendall demanded. Brooked laughed and shook her head as though she had heard the best joke of her life; how dare he come here trying to demand something from her.

"And what? What're you going to do if I don't?"

"He's your kid, Brooke. How can you just shut him out like that?" The brunette snorted and gave a smirk that made Kendall's blood boil. He was never a big fan of the Diamond family simply because of the way that they always treated James but luckily the pretty brunette found family elsewhere when he wasn't allowed to have one at home.

"So? James never speaks to me unless he feels the need too and even then it's vague. I didn't raise my son to be like that and I damn sure didn't raise him to keep getting pregnant by men that are beneath him." The blonde rubbed at his face trying to calm his nerves before he snapped at the woman that one day might be his in law. His green eyes looked around the hotel and he saw a constant flow of people in and out of the building like buzzing bees that were working in a hive on a warm sunny day. Most of them were in suits and staring at their phones but every now and again Kendall would spot a tourist which means somewhere in the throng of people there was a reporter with a camera ready for a huge story and that's when it hit him.

The one thing that Brooke hated more than her husband was a bad image and that's what she was going to get if she didn't give in to what he wanted.

"So how was it? Huh?" Brooke raised an eyebrow as Kendall started talking loudly looking around at the people that were in and out of the building. A few glanced his way but most of them kept walking.

"HOW DID IT FEEL WHEN YOU PAID A MAN OFF AFTER HE RAPED YOUR SON!?" Brooke's lips set into a thin, tight line as her eyes narrowed at Kendall. He smirked realizing that he hit a nerve.

"You know that your kid was 14 at the time right? Or was he younger than that? How long did Coach Rooney touch him before you said enough was enough?" Kendall pushed but Brooke remained silent. People had stopped walking and stared at them quiet murmurs buzzing around as Kendall continued.

"How old was James? HOW OLD!?" The blonde screamed at the shorter woman and Brooke bit her lip. She started to hear people click on their cellphones and then a flash came as a reporter made sure to snap her picture; she cursed under her breath. This is going to be in the headlines tomorrow and her company would face the backlash.

"James? As in James Diamond?"

"She paid a man off for touching her son?"

"What a horrible woman. She should be arrested with that pervert."

"Isn't that Kendall Knight?"

Kendall smiled triumphantly and Brooke cut her eyes at the younger male before she motioned for him to follow her inside. She knew that Kendall was trouble but she didn't think that she would as far as to soil her image whenever he didn't get what he wanted. Apparently, he was more dangerous than she first thought; if he would go through this when she wouldn't talk to her own son then what would he do to anybody that would hurt James.

Kendall hesitantly followed after the shorter woman but as soon as he went to step through the rotating doors his arm was snatched backwards. He turned sharply getting ready to curse at whoever pulled on him and he stared straight into James' beautiful face. The brunette's bangs were soaked and caked to his forehead and his face was flushed; Kendall noted that he was panting while one hand was rubbing over his stomach.

"James?" His voice was laced with concern as James pulled him back through the door. Catching his breath, the taller male shook his head and then fixed his boyfriend with a hurt filled glare.

"What-what are you doing?"

Kendall stuttered trying to collect his words but as soon as a sentence went to leave his lips James pushed by him and leaned over a shrub; emptying the contents of his stomach. The green eyed boy lightly patted his back hoping that James would be done soon because the heat was making his stomach churn and he didn't think about anything before pulling this coat on. After James was done; he wiped at his mouth and spat into the bush next to him before he tried to stand back tall trying to appear intimidating but with his face flushed and slightly green the only aura he gave off was one of a weak and frail teen.

People were still talking and snapping pictures of the two boys; Brooke had walked into the hotel and disappeared from sight as soon as James appeared. Now everybody's eyes were on the two tallest members of Big Time Rush when just a moment before they were on the founder of Diamond Cosmetics. Kendall felt guilty; if he hadn't left in such a rush then he would have noticed that James had followed but he was so hell bent on revenge that he didn't think to check behind him.

This was his fault.

…..

"There. That should help with the heat." Logan said as he laid a cool rag on James' forehead. Kendall rushed James back to the Palm Woods to get him out of the heat but he felt that he did more harm than good. While they were on their way back that had to stop six times while the brunette had gotten sick all over anything that had happened to be in the way; that included people and animals alike. If he would have thought clearly instead of panicking then he would have called a taxi but he was too busy trying to get James back that he didn't the ride would have been a lot easier on the younger boy.

A cup of cold ginger ale was on the table with a straw to try and ease his stomach; Kendall had sat in the shower with him and tried to help cool him off but it was a lot harder than he thought. When Logan and Carlos had returned from their date; Kendall practically begged the shorter male to help and Logan went into doctor mode.

Logan made James lie on the couch with his feet propped up, cold rags being rotated and placed on the back of his neck and forehead, he was forced to remove any shirt that he was wearing and was in shorts. His bangs were pulled out of his face with hair clips and Logan had given him some medication with ice chips for nausea to try and help tame the sickness; since he had been home James hadn't gotten ill at all but it could have something to do with the A/C.

Logan pulled Kendall to the side as Carlos watched over their sick friend; fixing the blonde with a stern look he thumped Kendall on the forehead.

"What the hell happened?" He hissed, "You do realize that he's running a low fever? If it gets any higher I'm going to have to call Josie." An apologetic gaze was thrown his way as Kendall rubbed a hand though his bangs.

"I went and confronted Brooke and James followed me. I think he ran the entire way because when he finally caught up he was covered in sweat." Logan huffed and pulled out his phone; pushing the screen into Kendall's face the blonde paled at the headlines that were in bold letters.

DID BROOKE DIAMOND PAY OFF THE MAN THAT RAPED HER SON? Kendall Knight threw these accusations at the successful business woman in front of the hotel where she was staying.

JAMES DIAMOND RAPED?

THE COACH OF BTR ACCUSED OF RAPING DIAMOND.

DID JAMES DIAMOND GET RAPED BY HIS COACH AND HIS MOTHER TURNED AWAY?

BROOKE DIAMOND ACCUSED OF NEGLETING SON AFTER RAPE CASE.

"Oh shit." Kendall whispered. Logan let out a wry chuckle.

"Oh shit? What the fuck did you do Kendall? James does not need this right now!"
