"What do you mean yes and no?" Carlos demands.

"Look, we didn't sleep together, but we see hook up. And I don't know if I want to be in a relationship right now, so I kind of acted like a dick this morning." I explain.

"Are you stupid!" James whisper yells.

I was confused now. Why was James so angry? Why did I have to be stupid like he said? I'm an idiot. No I can't be with her, its not right. We've been friends for so long and we can't fuck that up. We've just gotten back into our friendship. What have I done? I've screwed everything up, she probably hates me now. Shit.

Rachel's POV

My mind was blank. I could see the guys rehearsing, but I couldn't hear the music. I could see Logan's lips move as he came over when things were done. I just sat there. Everything was silent. Was I in shock? Damn this is so weird.

But then James approaches me, "Rachel? Hey sweetie, are you alright?" He questions me.

I shrug my shoulders. I can hear him, thats a plus. He takes my hand and helps me up, putting his coat around my shoulders. I can tell I 'm still in a daze, but it's starting to get easier.

"Come on Rachel, I'll take you home." James tells me putting his arm around my shoulder, leading me out the doors.

After he gets me situated in his car I see him walk over to Logan. I guess he explains that he's taking me home because Logan looks at me with sad eyes, nods, and gets in his car.

The drive home with James was nice, he was a real gentleman. He asked me if I wanted to talk about what was going on with Logan, but I turned him down. I wasn't much in the mood to talk about him. So James made other conversation, telling me about every little cute thing his new dog Fox did to how there was going to be a beach party at Kendall's house.

"Come on, you have to come!" he exclaimed giving me a side glance. "Bring Cat, come on, I'll be your party buddy, I won't leave your side all night"

I contemplated this. He seemed to have gotten over his asshole-post-kiss persona, and seemed to be back to the guy on the deck that night.

"Fine, but if you abandon me for some hot girl with no clothes on, I'll kick you in the nuts, and don't think I wont!" I told him as I got out of his car, arriving at my apartment complex.

"Don't worry!" His told me, getting out to give me a hug. "I won't leave your side all night"

That Friday night I stood in front of my small walk-in closet, just staring. Cat sat on my bed, all ready to go.

"What do I wear?" I asked her. I honestly felt like I had no clothes.

Cat walks over to my closet and pulls out a pair light wash, low riding, skinny-jeans, with holes, and a tank top.

"It'll probably get colder as the night goes on, so bring your striped zip-up." She told me handing me the clothes.

I carefully slipped into my clothes so not to ruin my light and perfect make-up, and we were out the door.

When we arrived at the party, James was already on the front porch ready to greet us. It was true, he wasn't going to leave my side all night.

With a smile and a hot boy with his arm slung over my shoulder, I entered the party. But, of course, the first thing I see when walking in is Logan with a girl on his lap and tongue down her throat. OF COURSE.
