'You should blame yourself, you and no one else. You can say you're not but you were guilty as well'
"Forever is a long, long time when you've lost your w- Hey what are you guys doing…and why are you covered in…sploosh." The short brunette asked, the Phoenix song completely forgotten as she rose from on top of the piano her blonde best friend had left her 15 minutes earlier. Hailey's brown eyes widening as she realized one possibility of what the white substance could be.
"Amery you didn't! You don't even know the guy! And you called us the slags? Bitch you're…"
"What is she talking about?" The naive Hispanic said as he watched Hailey point and judge frantically at the wide mouth and eyes shocked petite blonde.
"Nothing, let's just ignore crazy over there. Oh look stick like weapons!" Amery tried to advert and ignore the insinuating words that Hailey was saying and grabbed a microphone stand and a conveniently placed baseball bat next to it.
"C'mon, let's get that machine bastard thing!" Amery said as she lifted her microphone stand ready for battle, Carlos following suit as she did so. Her small pale hand reached for his tan one and intertwined their fingers, getting what seemed to be a blush from the impulsive Latino.
The blonde smiled, being covered in foam, fighting a robot, and literally being called a whore is not exactly what she hoped for when she decided to come to the studio. But she did get to finish her song thanks to Hailey and spend time with the cute guy who kissed her cheek.
"You're only 16! You shouldn't even know about any kind of sexual act! Wait til I tell Charlie and Liz! They're gonna…"
"Sexual act? What the…whoa!" Amery pulled onto Carlos's hand before his easily distracted mind could ponder on what the brunette had said. The image of a foamy earth suddenly passed through Carlos's helmet protected head, his much stronger legs pushed forward causing Amery to try to keep up.
"For the Earth!" He yelled out, his baseball bat in hand as they maneuvered their ways through the hall ways.
"More like for our jobs…" Amery added, they were nearing studio A, a confused Kelly looking up at the ceiling. The blondes blue eyes followed the confused glare as she continued to run; nearly tripping over Carlos as he swiftly turned around and greeted Kelly.
"This was not my idea or doing!" Amery yelled out as she held on to the helmet out of habit, her microphone stand still in hand. They braced themselves as Carlos opened the door to their battlefield.
"You cannot stop me! Humans are futile!" The foam nearly reached the ceiling.
Carlos was dead. That was for sure. They shared a look of distraught courage then nodded, running head first into the line of…foam. It nearly consumed them whole as they fought their way through to the evil coffee machine.
Amery jumped, eyes closed, as she felt her body bump into something. So she swung.
"Whoa! Amery it's me!"
"I'm so sorry love! I can't see!" Her small barely visible hand made her way up his body and towards his face, his own closed eyes opening wide as he felt how close she actually was. Her delicate eyes opened slowly as she felt a cheek and then a nose, her hand moving away quickly as she noticed where it was.
"You didn't have to move away…" Carlos said his impulsive mind speaking the truth, as sucky as the situation was- he wouldn't want to spend it with anyone else.
A small smile reached Amery's lips, a blush pushing its way through the foam, bright enough for Carlos to see.
Suddenly a loud scream was heard from outside of the room, either someone was being bludgeoned to death or… they had found the mess of coffee foam. The scream not only broke the moment that Carlos and Amery were about to have but it brought back the fear and panic of someone finding out that Carlos had once again broken something.
They fought back towards the door, weapons and helmets in place, a recovered from screaming Kelly in front.
"Don't scream! Don't scream! We're just making coffee!"
"We're?" Amery looked up towards the taller boy, she knew she was in trouble but he considered them both a 'we', after one date and whatever this was.
"Yes, we...?" Carlos said hopefully, he never had a girlfriend, he didn't even know when exactly the right time was. But he did know he liked her and liked what he saw so far.
"You Americans sure work fast."
"Oh no! I'm sorry! I didn't mean t-!"
"I'M SORRY! I interrupted your little love whatever this is… BUT WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" Kelly's rage reached as high as the foam. She loved Carlos and Amery, they were so sweet and so cute together, but at the moment she wanted to strangle them both and throw them across the country, maybe across the seas for Amery's sake.
"I will cover the earth with foam! Bow to my foamy powers!"
"We have to destroy it!" Carlos exclaimed looking at his boss's assistant. It was the only probable thing to do.
"No! Gustavo said you can't break anything else!"
"And this is actually what I was trying to avoid!" Amery yelled over the whirling noises.
"Kelly is dumb, women are weak. England sucks." The two females turned to look at each other sharing an 'oh no you didn't' look. A full on glare radiated from their eyes as their hands simultaneously rested on their respective hip. Their rage reaching at a higher level when the sexist machine called them cupcakes and with a war cry the two teenagers and the older woman gripped their weapons and ran head first into the pit of foam.
The coffee maker slowly died down and so did its foam. The heroes of the day coughed out of the kitchen, Kelly stating she'd call a cleaning crew before her beloved boss ripped them all a new one, and left to do so. Amery smiled, waving to one of her new favorite people in this industry. She knew she could always count on Kelly for nearly anything.
"Hmm… I'm kind of hungry." Her now white head turned to look at the Latino next to her, at first bewildered at the thought but then it came to her. She only walked into this mess because of her rumbling tummy. Her thoughts finally come to when she heard the next words that came from Carlos's mouth.
"Want to… go out? And eat something I mean!" He was nervous, why wouldn't he be. He had called her his somewhat girlfriend and she hadn't even agreed, and even became jealous when the evil coffee machine called her cupcake. But she didn't need to know that.
Her blue eyes scanned his face, a sense of nostalgia washing over as she remembered the first they met. Back home, she would never jump into something so quickly. She may be a blonde but she always had a planned when it came to guys.
Amery wasn't inexperienced, nor was she shy; she was just tiny and too nice for her damn good. She's had boyfriends at her young age, probably more than the others had.
It wasn't like her to just go for it -say yes and then be all lovey dovey with the guy. She wanted to know him, not do him the next time she saw him. So with Carlos in front of her, his brown eyes bearing hopefully into her blue eyes, she knew exactly what she had to say.
"Okay."
"Y'know these clothes aren't half bad" Charlie grabbed an over sized jean vest hanging from the clothes rack and placed it over her shoulders, her hands reaching into the pockets causing it to pull down.
"We know, now please take that off, those aren't for you." One of the brunette stylists said after James rose as he prepped himself for his 'Cuda commercial.
"I don't want your nasty clothes anyway" The brunette wannabe rocker mumbled as she took off the comfortable vest and placed it haphazardly onto the rack of clothes.
It wasn't like she was going to steal it.
Her brown eyes followed as Katie dragged the six foot something guy she slowly started to befriend and followed as well, but not after sticking her tongue out the three older women dressed in black.
"We knew your elbow was the one."
She couldn't hold back and just flat out laughed. Her hand reached towards the small girl and patted her head lovingly.
"Dude she totally duped you, hey when you get tired of Kendall's dumb face give me a call my family will receive you with open arms, I'm tired of being the only girl."
"Not helping!" James over dramatic tone came out loud and angered a glare suddenly came towards her direction when she stated that this was turning out to be a great day. Charlie barely noticed when James had politely excused himself along with his best friends' sister and the new girl that knew how to get underneath peoples skin, which just so happened to be herself.
"My dream is not to be an elbow model!" James exclaimed to his manager.
"Why would modeling even be a choice?" Charlie asked while looking down at her needed to be manicured nails.
"The world needs to see this," the hazel eyed brunette gestured to his face with wiggling spirit fingers. "One way or another"
Both girls turned to look at one another, a roll to their eyes as they turned back to watch James model walk away after he had accused the ten year old of deceit.
Katie threw her small business hands into the air in defeat. She knew James long enough to know that he was too stubborn to see what was in front of him, unless a voice of reason which was mainly Logan or Kendall had told him otherwise.
"There's no point, he's going to let my- I mean his 500 dollars walk away." Charlie turned to look at the short girl, and with another roll to her eyes walked in to the direction the pretty boy had gone.
She'd seen people talk to themselves, mainly Hailey when she was being… herself, but as crazy as the tiny Spanish/Danish brunette was, Charlie had never seen her best friend talk to a mirror, while changing her tone of voice as she did so.
"So this is who James Diamond is…a quitting schizoid that likes to model? Look, as your acquaintance, I cannot let you give up. Especially when there is 500 dollars on the line, which isn't much really…" Charlie began her speech, ignoring the way James had looked at her after her money comment. How could 500 dollars be little? That was technically a fortune back when he and his friends had to work their asses off in Minnesota.
"Also there is a little girl who I now claim as my prodigy that wants her cut of the deal. You're a handsome guy, we get that, but it's not always about the face." A well placed high pitched yelp escaped James lips as he held his cheeks. How dare she.
Charlie grabbed his arm and held it up to the mirror that he was talking to before.
"Do you see that elbow? It's fricken beautiful. Now go out there and kick some old people cream ass." She dropped her hand as he examined it, her eyes widening when a pair of strong arms wrapped around her shoulders.
"Thanks Charlie, you're a great new friend." He modeled walked away towards his manager and back to his job at hand.
"I said acquaintance, no one ever said we were fr-"
"Nope we're friends!" The yell caused her lips to turn up into a small smile, she needed some testosterone in her life that wasn't going to drive her crazy with stupid pranks, and stupid things that make her think twice of her judgment, or that had the best green eyes she had ever seen.
Liz smoothed the high waist shorts that covered her white frilled blouse; she was much more comfortable after she had changed. There were no more feathers, or nail polish or anything reminding her of little kids. Now they were on the elevator to meet their boss so the boys could hand in there money.
"Thanks again Liz" She turned to look at the tall blonde and smiled, any sense of anger was gone. Forgive and forget. She wasn't a grudge holder like some of her friends.
Before she could even reply, the elevator doors opened and out walked the guys, but as soon as stepped out her arms flailed as she caught on to both Kendall's and Logan's shoulders, her brown oxfords being the culprit for her trip.
"You say a word and I'll drop kick you both." Her pale hands felt the tension as they stood still while she readjusted herself and walked past them, a small smirk playing on her lips. She wasn't going to, she wasn't Hailey, but now she figured why the tiny girl was the way she was. It was fun.
"I-I wasn't going to say anything were you?" Logan's words rushed out as he looked over at his best friend who shook his head frantically.
They didn't know what to expect, it was safe to say that these girls were slightly traumatizing.
Another Bing from the second elevator indicated that someone had reached their floor. The door opened to reveal a tiny Katie counting her money and James with a hungry expression, and Charlie trying to pry off James arm from around her neck.
"I won't let go til you admit we are friends." Her brown eyes rolled but widened when she noticed her own friend staring at her with a raised eyebrow.
Charlie had met Liz when her family decided to take a trip down to Nashville, long before Incubus or Kings of Leon had reached their fame. They were the only girls in both of their families, and had quickly bonded.
So whenever the red head pretended to not be interested, it only meant that she really was. It was obvious to her that Liz had a thing for the pretty boy around her neck.
The panic that had risen was now suffocating her, as well as James toned arms.
"Okay fine! We're friends. Let go!" The grip lessened, allowing her to shove herself in between Logan and the blonde asshole as she had called him so many times before.
Her brown eyes watched as Liz gave her a 'were going to talk about this later' look ignoring the smug look James had on his.
"Is that a look of jealousy I detect?" Her red curls swirled as she turned to face the tall brunette who walked away with confidence, leaving the question for her to answer on her own. Before she could even yell out her answer as she was about to, two figures covered in white walked towards the same direction her pretty boy had gone.
Liz turned to look at the brunette who stopped trying to hide and shared a look of confusion. They were pretty sure that one of the laughing two had blonde hair and Amery's distinctive giggle.
Charlie watched as the taller of the two sped walked towards the couple and she herself pushed passed the guys, her hand lingering a little more on Kendall's side.
"You just can't keep away can you? You're totally in love with me." His voice close enough to make her shudder, he had obviously bent down to her ear level, but something in Charlie still made her turn in a rush.
"W-" whoa he's close. Her fair skinned cheeks began to redden as she looked into the green eyes that had been slipping into her dreams, though she'd never admit that, to anyone. Ever, but she had to recover before it got to his head.
"You're totally not my type"
"I didn't know you had one." His smirk began to grow as he moved a little closer, why was he so intrigued by her.
"Y-yeah, I like smart, good looking, and non assholes." She smiled sarcastically, her brown locks flipping and hitting his face as she did so. It was a snotty move, sure, but she could not let him win.
"So I was right, you are in love with me." He said as he followed the brunette, a grin finding its way on to his face when her favorite obscene gesture flew up.
"That's two thousand dollars." Gustavo's shocked voice soon became just a part of the background as the four girls made their way and sat in the longue room.
"Are you going to tell me why James had his arms around your neck?" She didn't mean to say this now; she was going to wait til they had made it home. But the fact that James had his arms around her best friend was bothersome.
"Whoa! Redneck and Charles throw down! I call Liz, she's bigger!" Hailey's excitement had caused both girls to roll their eyes.
"Really Charlie? He had his arms around you?" The blonde who was wiping away the foam said as she gave a disapproving look to her friend.
"Yeah kid, it's called bro code for a reason."
"We're not bro's. We're best friends and I'm pretty sure we all have women parts!" Charlie defended her gender.
"Yeah, but the rule still applies. Chicks before dicks"
"Bro's before hoes." Liz said slowly with a raised eyebrow and a cross to her arms.
"Oh my god, he practically had me in a headlock. I was just being nice to him, I know you like him Liz." She whispered the last part.
"Who the hell said I liked him?" The redhead began to insure her morality, but was shut down by an all knowing look from all three girls. Liz leaned back on her chair, a pout on her lips, and her arms crossed.
She was being childish, and they all knew why.
"He's not that bad of a person, y'know, just a bit conceited."
"A bit, he thinks of himself as a god."
"On another note," Hailey stepped in before an actual brawl happened between the two ladies. She knew they had both grown up as the only girls in a family full of older brothers, they were evenly matched. Only that Liz was much more considerate than Charlie.
"Amery had sex with Carlos." The grin that stretched onto Hailey's rivaled the Grinch's. She wasn't stupid; she knew Carlos was way too innocent to even try it. But the face that had planted itself on Charlie's and Liz's was priceless.
"Are you bonkers? I haven't even snogged the chap what makes you think I'll boff him?" The blonde practically yelled at the best friend who only laughed.
"I love it when she gets all British"
"How can you understand that?" Liz asked as she gave Amery a look that said 'what the fook.'
"The only thing I understood was bonkers." Charlie said as she nodded her head, then rose from her spot. Amery wasn't one to get mad but she could probably kick Hailey's crazy ass in a minute.
"Okay, what happ-"
"Y'know what? This is great. No, no, this is good. I mean who needs a lesson in responsibility? Let's just break more stuff!" Gustavo's crazed laughter brought the girls from their own dispute; the bat in his hand was what really caught their attention.
"I mean, how about this lamp that would be fun!" He wound up his arms for what seemed to be a great pitch.
"Holy fuck, move!" Hailey yelled out to her best friends as they tucked and rolled and crawled towards a much safer spot, behind the boys and next to the pitchfork guy.
"Why don't we just bust up my whole studio? It's just money RIGHT?" The large man walked towards the wall conveniently made of glass and swung the bat into it, causing everyone to cringe.
"And I thought we were angry." Charlie said while bumping shoulders with her best friend/partner in angry crime. Before Hailey could nod in response she felt her body tipping over and her hands reaching for the person next to her. Which just so happened to be the big black man whose shoulders she wasn't able to ride earlier.
"Are you keeping those shoulders warm for me?" The big man just shook his head but chuckled at her antics, causing her to grin back up at him, her neck nearly going all the way back. The incredulous look coming from the brown eyed brunette guy just made the moment better for Hailey.
"He owes me." She shrugged.
"He's not a ride…" Logan started but was interrupted by the small finger of the girl in front of him, her statement causing him to chuckle. She obviously had a proposal for their giant security enforcer.
"You say that now!"
"Hails! Let's go, the boys have to work." The short brunette twirled on her heels after giving Logan a small smile and walking towards Charlie who was having a stare contest with her beloved Kendall.
"Look, let's make it easier for everybody. Liz, Ames, and I will leave the apartment, I'll give Blondie here a key card and you kids could have fun." The taller brunette of the girls glared at her best friend after she had recovered from the shock, she should've punched her in the throat right then and there.
"Okay! Let's go before someone loses something besides their virginity." Hailey said, she was digging herself a deeper grave, but she didn't care, it was more for her entertainment than anyone else's.
"Shut up will you." Amery and Liz both grabbed Hailey's arm and dragged her along out of the studio while a stunned Charlie walked out, the last of her stupor fading away.
"I'm going to kill you Hailey!"
