Light
A/N: So, here's my shot at the Light theme.
Pairing: Jo/Kendall
Rating: K+
Jo was depressed. She had been for the past week. She wouldn't talk to James, Logan, Carlos, or even Camille and Stephanie or anyone really for that matter.
According to the other girls, though, her grandmother had died last week and she couldn't make it back home for the funeral. She was very, very close to her grandmother. The woman had taught her everything about music and encouraged her to follow her dreams. Jo always called her every night before she went to bed, even if she was out late, knowing her grandmother would always wait up, no matter what time it was and answer her phone call with a warm, kind voice. She was pretty much Jo's rock ever since she was a little girl. She had even written a song for seven year-old Jo and it was on Jo's first album. Now, it would be on every one of Jo's albums with a special dedication, thanks, and explanation. They all knew that, but they also knew it wasn't good for her to not talk about it to anyone. It was impossible to get anything out of her, though.
That was all before Kendall got back from a trip back home a week ago.
"KENDALL!" Carlos, Logan, James, Stephanie, and Camille shouted as they ran up to him as soon as he entered the hotel. They all started talking at once.
"Whoa, guys, hold it!" Kendall laughed before he saw their solemn, worried expressions. "Um, guys, what's wrong?"
"Jo's grandmother died last week," Logan began.
"But she couldn't get home for the funeral," James picked up the story.
"She's had herself locked in her room every night and the only time she leaves it is to lock herself in the gym. She won't let anybody else in," Carlos continued.
"We're getting really worried about her," Stephanie added.
"Kendall, please go talk to her," Camille begged him as she grabbed the front of his shirt.
"Do you really have to ask?" Kendall said seriously as he pried Camille off of him and walked toward the gym.
He knew Jo and knew she wouldn't lock the door. She just wanted everyone to think it was locked. He quietly pushed the door open and walked in. He spotted Jo sitting in a corner with her knees pulled against her chest.
"Jo," he spoke quietly as he approached. She didn't look at him, but she didn't tell him to go away either. He sat down next to her and wrapped his arm around her. She finally looked at him and he could see the hurt and sorrow in her eyes.
"Jo, what's wrong?" he asked.
"Kendall, I know you already know," Jo told him.
"You're right. But, listen. I know what it's like. When my grandmother died, I couldn't go with my mom and Katie because of the band. I was heartbroken over it. But, I also didn't shut everyone out. That's what got me through it. Sure, I miss her a lot, but I moved on. She would've wanted me to move on. Your grandmother would want you to move on too," Kendall said. Jo looked over at him before breaking down.
Over the next half hour, she told him everything and actually felt better.
"So, do you want to leave this gym and go to the Palm Woods café?" Kendall suggested, hoping she would agree.
"Sure, Kendall. And thanks," Jo said as they stood up. Before they took a step, she pulled him to her and kissed him on the lips. Kendall was surprised but immediately recovered and kissed her back, smiling to himself. He knew the others were watching everything that was happening.
When they broke apart and started walking out of the gym, Jo smiled. Kendall Knight was her light.
A/N: hey guys. I thought this was pretty long and I'm proud of it, so I hope you like it too. Please review.
