Jo POV

"He WHAT?" I exclaimed, my eyes bugging out of my head.

Camille nodded slowly, and I could see the waterworks forming in her eyes. I put my hand on her shoulder comfortingly.

"Camille, don't cry. None of this is you fault." I told her.

"Yes it is!" she retorted. "If it wasn't for that stupid kiss, James wouldn't have kissed me again, and he wouldn't have told me that he had feelings for me. So yeah, this is all my fault."

I shook my head. "No, it isn't. James was being stupid and selfish, not you. You didn't kiss him back did you?" I asked her worriedly.

Camille shook her head vigorously. "No, of course not. James is... like a brother to me."

I nodded my head and eyed her carefully, that same theory I'd had ever since Camille was crying in my arms over that kiss a few months back: Camille and James were attracted to each other. I never said that out loud because I knew that would just make Camille upset, but it was true. No one could ever deny the fact that James was gorgeous, and they wouldn't have kissed unless they were somewhat attracted to each other.

"Your brother that you have the hots for?" I teased. Camille gasped.

"Jo!"

"What?" I said innocently.

"You know what! You're supposed to be on my side!" she exclaimed.

"I am on your side. I'm just stating the truth."

"Well you're wrong." she said stubbornly, crossing her arms.

I almost laughed at the sight, but kept my composure. I just gave her a look. We stared each other down for a few moments. She would spill in three...two...one...

"Okay FINE!" she burst out, as I smiled in satisfaction. "Maybe I am a little attracted to him. He's James, but my attraction to him and his attraction to me isn't worth acting upon."

"Apparently James dosen't feel that way." I pointed out, and she nodded.

"Even if I am attracted to James, it doesn't change the way I feel about Logan." she told me. "I feel like I led James on, just to break his heart."

I sighed. "Cami, you can't keep running away from your problems. You have to tell James that you can never like him in that way, and you have to tell Logan that he kissed you."

Camille groaned. "Why do I have to do it? James is the one who kissed me." she said.

I gave her a small smile. "Camille, do I need to remind you of what happened the last James tried to tell Logan that he kissed you?"

Camille's eyes softened in realization. "Oh, right."

"So are you gonna tell him tonight?" I asked curiously.

She shook her head. "No, it's not the right time to tell him. He knows something's up, though. I told him I would tell him tomorrow, but I'm scared." she confessed to me, tears leaking out of her eyes. I didn't know what she was so afraid of. It's not like Logan's gonna break up with her or something. He's crazy about Camille.

I took my best friend into my arms and embraced her. This was the first time I'd ever seen Camille so vulnerable. she always seemed so confident.

When she entered a room, she always had such presence, whether she was rehearsing for an audition, or if she just flashed you a smile. She was so...radiant. Yeah, that's the word. Her expressive personality always shone through her eyes, and her happiness is contagious. She is definitely the strongest person I know, and I admired her strength.

That's why seeing her cry in my arms felt so weird. It felt odd having to be the strong one in our relationship.

As Camille continued to cry on my shoulder, I saw Kendall and Carlos making their way over to us.

Camille's head shot up, and she tried to wipe away her tears, smearing her make-up.

"Hey." Carlos greeted cheerfully. "Why aren't you guys inside?" he asked us, then turned his head to Camille.

"Whoa, why are you crying, Cam?" he asked with worried eyes. "What's wrong?"

Camille looked up at me and shook her head, as Kendall looked at me expectantly.

"She doesn't really want to talk about it." I told them as Carlos rubbed small circles on Camille's back.

Kendall nodded and Camille sniffed, casting her eyes to Kendall's beautiful green ones. "So what are you guys doing out here?" she asked.

Carlos and Kendall exchanged looks. "Well... I was worried about Jo and...tell 'em Carlos!" Kendall exclaimed.

Carlos looked like a deer in the headlights, and Camille's eyes widened in realization. They were acting way too shifty.

"Logan sent you out here, didn't he?" Camille said with a knowing look on her face.

Kendall nodded. "He's really worried about you, Cam." He turned his head to me. "What is going on anyways?" he asked me.

"James..." I started to say, but was interrupted by Camille.

"No, Jo. You can't tell them. They'll just tell Logan, and he can't find out, not now." She told me with pleading eyes. I sighed, and Kendall spoke.

"Come on, Cam. Just tell us whats wrong. We promise we won't tell Logan. Whatever it is." Kendall told her, and Carlos nodded in agreement. Camille shook her head again.

"I'm not telling anyone else before I tell Logan. It wouldn't be right." She said in a firm tone.

Kendall smirked. "Well then we're just gonna have to guess." He looked at me. "You said it had something to do with James, right?" he asked, and took our silence as a yes.

"And there has to be some reason why James didn't want to come check up on Camille with us..." Carlos said thoughtfully. Kendall squinted his eyes at Camille.

"You didn't cheat on him with James again, did you?" Camille sighed. "No. Look, I'm gonna go back inside before Logan starts to get impatient. Jo, you just them, but you CANNOT tell Logan, okay?" she said, looking at Carlos and Kendall sternly.

They both nodded, and Camille strolled back to the front door of Rocque Records.

"Wait, so James kissed Camille?" Kendall asked after his girlfriend had dropped the bomb on Carlos and himself.

Jo nodded. "Yep."

"I don't know if we can keep something like this from him." Kendall said.

Jo shook her head. "No, you promised her you wouldn't tell. She wants to tell Logan herself. He needs to hear it from her, anyways. She's gonna tell him tomorrow. You guys just keep your mouths shut until then and make sure that Logan doesn't kill James after he finds out." she told them.

Carlos nodded. "You got it."

Yeah, this was more of a filler chapter. Not my best. Anyways, Logan will find out in the next chapter(:
