Jenno2: I KNOW HOW YOU LOVE YOUR DRAMA ;) Here's the next chapter!

"What the hell was that?" I shrieked as I jumped up from the table. "Reyna!"

I made it to the door a second after Kendall, who was now holding Reyna. "Who are you?" I snapped at the woman at the door.

What a bitch.

"Who do you think I am?" she sneered.

"I really don't give right now," I growled as I lunged at her. I felt a strong pair of hands on my waist, holding me back. "Let me go!" I yelled. I didn't care if it was my dad or James restraining me, but no one, NO ONE, hits my sister and gets away with it.

No. One.

"Maya, you can't!"

Ah, so it's James.

"And why the hell not?" I shrieked, trying to get out of his firm grip.

"Because that's Karina and my career is dead if you hurt her!"

"That's Karina?" Reyna squeaked.

"Mmhm," Karina smirked.

I just wanna break her face. One good punch, that's all I need. Just one.

I looked around, trying to find where my parents were. They were standing behind Kendall, talking to Reyna.

Eh, I don't give a fuck anymore. My mom knows I curse. "You fucking bitch! I'm Maya! I'm the one who's been hanging out with James."

Karina shrugged and glared at me. "I guess you two look alike."

"You guess we look alike? You drove to my house, had the audacity to hit my sister, not apologize for it, and all you can say is 'I guess you two look alike'?" I was screaming in her face by then, but I really couldn't care less.

"Maya, calm down," James whispered.

I whipped around to glare at him and he immediately shut up.

"But really, honey," Karina smirked at James, "you settled for this? That's a downgrade."

"Move," James growled before pushing me behind him. He towered over Karina and she backed up a bit, clearly not expecting James to be angry with her comment. "Maya is a better woman than you will ever be in your life. And you know what else, Karina? She actually cares enough to find out about the real me. Not the fame and fortune. ME. And it's just a plus that she's beautiful. Inside and out. You'd be lucky to ever even come close to the amazing person she is."

"Baby, what are you-"

"No no no, don't 'baby' me. You and I are done. And you can go cry to your daddy. We both know that he damn well needs me in this band. You can tell him that I'm ready for a fight. Hit me with your best shot." James slammed the door in Karina's face.

Serves you right. BITCH.

"Sorry for the language," he mumbled, sneaking a glance at my parents before looking back down at the floor.

"Oh honey." Mom walked right up to him and gave him a tight hug. "I'm proud to say I know you."

A smile lit up James' face and I grinned at him before turning back to my sister. "Seriously kiddo, are you ok?"

"Psh. Yeah," Reyna shrugged it off. "She's a stupid scrawny chick. Can't even hit hard."

"But you screamed..." Kendall pointed out with an eyebrow raised.

"Well yeah. Her ring hurt like a mother f-a...ther..." Reyna finished, blushing at the look Dad was giving her.

"Good cover up, Reyn," I teased.

"Shuddup!" she wined. "You know what? I think I deserve some ice cream. Anyone else up for some?"

We all shrugged and nodded except for James. He was staring out the window and appeared totally distant. "Um, you guys go ahead," I told them. "I'm gonna go talk to him."

Kendall, Reyna, Mom, and Dad went into the kitchen so I could be alone with James.

"Jay?" I gently placed a hand on his shoulder and rubbed up and down his arm. "Everything ok?"

He shrugged and sighed. "I just feel like whenever things are finally starting to go right, something major has to go wrong."

"But it's ok now," I said in a soothing voice. "She can't bother us anymore. Is it- Are you worried about her dad?"

"Nah, not really," he shook his head. "I was pretty sure about what I said. He can't do anything to me as long as he needs me in the band. It's just- I don't know. I feel guilty. She hurt Reyna."

"Reyna's a tough girl," I smiled. "She's alright."

James turned to me and took my hands in his, holding them to his chest. "But what if next time it's you?"

"Uh, hate to point this out," I grinned, "but it was supposed to be me this time, too."

"Ok ok, point taken," James relented, finally smiling back. "Are you really sure everything's ok?"

"Mmhm," I nodded. "And your little speech in there definitely helped win my parents over... again. My dad's never not defended his girls. That means you did the job damn well."

"I try," James grinned. "You know-" he slipped two fingers under my chin and tilted my head up so I was staring into his eyes. "I meant every word that I said to her. Every single word, Maya."

"I-James-I...Thank you." Brilliant Maya, just brilliant. I intertwined our fingers and smiled at him. "Should we go join our family?"

"Well see, that's the thing," James smirked. "They're not my family...yet. But I want them to be."

"Are you-"

"We can't go public yet, because Karina and I just broke up. But I really don't care. Maya will you- will you be my girlfriend...for real?"

"I thought you'd never ask," I grinned at him before winding my arms around his neck and kissing him.

"Wait," James pulled back a bit. "So that's a yes, right?"

"Yes, you dork," I laughed. "That's most definitely a yes."
