When Worlds Reunite Chapter 5: November Lingering, a big time rush fanfic

Thanks to:

whoopsiedaisy- Yeah, Kendall and Jo are together! Sorry I had to make you wait a little but here is the next chapter so I hope you enjoy it : )
Green-NaNa-Neko89- Thank you thank you! It felt kinda weird actually, updating on my birthday, I'm not sure why. I'm glad I don't disappoint! Sometimes I'm really critical on what I write and I'm not sure if you'll all like it, or where the story is going is realistic enough. Well, you liked the 3rd POV and there is a lot in this in the end of the chapter. Well, the relationship between Jo and Kendall isn't only going to affect Echo, let's just say that… Yes, Echo is having her interview this chapter and the guys also happen to see it on the TV, so you get to see their reactions. I'm so thankful that you love my story, I really don't deserve all of the praise you give me, it's very humbling. Well I hope you get your computer fixed soon and thank you for giving me such an amazing review, regardless! Thanks for the review and the support! : )
BigTimeFan50- Thank you! I'm glad you like it with the guys, I really want to still include them in the story somehow even though they aren't there in America with Echo. James and Kendall were close, real close, that's why it was such a stab in the back and such pain for James, well to be honest, for both of them. Well, you know when you bring in Jo there has to be some drama and trouble! That's all my story is about! You'll find out in this chapter, it revolves around when she went out to New Zealand in the episodes but instead of stay there, she was just visiting and happened to meet Kendall, but it is explained in the chapter, thanks for the review and thank you again for the happy birthday : )
TheClaire24- I'm glad you liked the chapter! I know it's wrong, but the way you have such an optimistic outlook on Arthur and Lisa fighting actually makes me weirdly glad! I had to add in the twitter part, they tweet all the time on twitter so I just had to. Well, both the reactions and the interview is in this chapter so I hope it lives up to your expectations! People have such widely different views on Jett, I'm glad you like him and now that my birthday has past, I'm totally looking forward to Christmas, it's only like 30 days away now! Yes, Jo is dating Kendall and in fact, she isn't a bitch, she's the complete opposite to Echo, which confuses Echo a lot. Jetcho, that's cute! Don't worry, Echo is going back to the Palm Woods in a few chapters but she meets someone she doesn't really expect to see, I'm not going to tell you who though! Thank you again for the praise and thanks for the review : )
Kimy- thank you! Kendall and Jo are happening, but then again Jett and Echo are happening, will they last? And you're just that much more amazing because you have my name! Thanks for the review : )
JamesMaslowBTR100- Aha, thank you for the praise, I really appreciate it but I'm not that good, really! Wow, I don't want to make you cry, seriously! Please don't, it will make me feel so bad! It actually feels weird, constantly writing them arguing and all, but they will stop…one day, I hope. Aha, there's actually not many Jendall fans out there really, which makes bringing in Jo as Kendall's girlfriend all the better for me! Aha, well I'm not that big of a fan of her character to be honest, either. Thank you for the birthday message! Wow, well thank you for being so committed that you still reviewed on your iPhone! Thank you! : )
EvilMonkeyBabyD- Aha, don't worry, really! I'm just happy you're reviewing now. Well, everyone goes through a tough time and this is the only way I can portray him, but in a way, it shows that he isn't just the leader and the glue of Big Time Rush, each of them hold each other together as the next band member, which Kendall is going to realize soon. Everyone hates Jo! It's quite amusing really, I don't know why but everyone has such a passionate hate for her! Don't worry, by the end of this story I aim to clear up everything…hopefully! Thanks for the review : )
SWACGleekFreak- Thank you for the birthday message! Thank you, I'm glad you liked the chapter. I agree with you that he hasn't tried to change, but maybe being with Jo is a start? I couldn't keep Echo in such a shitty state for long, she's only human, she just has an inhuman amount of drama in her life. Don't worry, I can promise you now that Jett won't do anything compared to what Kendall did! And you know this story, there's always drama! Here's the update so enjoy and thanks for the review : )
whatIfeel- Thank you! I'm glad you like the BTR parts, I really want to keep them in the story even though they aren't actually in the story, if you get what I mean…Maybe Kendall does still love her, who knows? I don't even bloody know yet : ) well, maybe he's trying to move on from her, or maybe he just doesn't want to be reminded by Echo so he gets a girl who is completely different to her… Well, those questions are all going to be cleared up soon, I promise! And you know Kendall is going to have to face Echo soon, whether any of them like it or not, probably not. Thank you again and thank you for complimenting the song choice, I think 2 other people have in the two stories I have written! So that means a lot to me that you actually read the lyrics because sometimes it takes me ages to find a song that fits in with the chapter, so I hope you like this one! Aha, thanks for the birthday message and thanks for the review! : )
xKiki .Bonn- Hell yes! Aha, there's so much Jo hate going around that I'm actually laughing! Pretty much everyone who has reviewed so far has put in a little hat message about Jo! Well, let's just say that Kendall and Jo met in New Zealand when BTR were there touring. Yes, I'm trying to make her seem nice, but you know those girls who are overly nice? I'm trying to make her seem too nice and too perfect, if you understand what I mean, it just makes such a contrast between her character and Echo's. Jett and Echo have chemistry, yes, but she will never be able to forget the way she felt with Kendall, he was her first love. Aha, you're actually making me laugh about how much you dislike Jo, I might do things with Jo that might piss you off more, my little gift to you ; ) oh my God! FALCON PUNCH! You freaking play Star Fox! You're a legend! I was so tempted to just put 'and then Carlos began to continually shout "Kendall! Do a barrel roll!"' that would have been hilarious. Well, what would you do if I told you I was working on a James OC fic right now? And it was a definite James OC fic, I wouldn't change the pairings whatsoever. And you're right, Kendall did deserve it and even he realized that. You know they can't continue fighting for long, they are like brothers! I think Griffin needs a pal anyway, I mean being with Lisa and all, he definitely needs a friend! Mmm, bananas! You know how weird this is? I'm actually eating a banana right now… can you see me or something? I'm glad you've mentioned it again! So here's the next update, thanks for the lengthy review and I must say myself, this is one of the greatest responses I've ever given! Thanks for the review! : )
StuckAt9.99- Thank you for the birthday message! Secretly, you know everyone still cares for each other in this story, it's just the intensity of the feelings that are the key. For the whole tweet thing, I was just trying to show how it's almost like Kendall has erased Echo from his life, which is actually quite sad… Aha, everyone hates Jo! It's amazing, I could actually make a whole story from all of the hate Jo is getting! But to be honest, I'm not her biggest fan in the world. Aha, quoting Carlos= instant legend! Well, all the Jendall stuff is explained in this chapter so I hope you like it and thank you for the review : )
Boysboysboys love em- Aha, thank you for the birthday message! Yay! Virtual hug and cake, this is definitely something special for me to get the cake too. Don't worry, it's fine! I'm just so glad you're reviewing again, I missed the virtual things I got. Aha, thank you for the praise, but I'm honestly not that good, really! Aha, well I'm still not sure who to get Echo with, some days I'm like a Jecho fan and others I'm a Kecho fan so the chapters kinda sway in the mood I'm in because I'm just weird like that. Thank you again and thanks for reviewing once again! : )
otaku- Wow, I'm sorry! I didn't think to put a choking hazard on the warnings ;) Aha, don't worry, literally everyone dislikes her if not hates her. I'm glad you like Echo! Thanks for the review and I hope you like this chapter : )
Gigi- Yes, yes, yes! Everyone dislikes Lisa, including me. Aha, I'm glad you not only like the way Griffin acts but the relationship I've made for Echo and Asha. Maybe your right about Kendall still loving her, but maybe you're wrong, who knows? You know that James and Kendall will face each other soon, they're like brothers, their a band of such close friends that it's actually quite difficult to constantly writing them arguing, believe it or not. Maybe you're right about Jetto, maybe you're not…who knows? Aha, you're the second person it happened to! I really should have put a choking hazard at the start of the chapter ;) Well, here's your update and thanks for such a detailed review, I really do appreciate it!
Seliiia- Aha, thank you for the praise! Don't worry, literally every single person who has reviewed has taken some sort of disliking towards her, I'm not her biggest fan but I don't completely hate her. I'm glad you've read between the lines and seen how the fact that Jett and Echo are together will cause problems, Jett is Jo's ex, Echo is Kendall's ex, all ex's are out with each other… something tells me that the whole happy couple thing may not last long. Well, Kendall is finally starting to realize what he has become and Kendall is still excluding himself, but he's going to get there…I hope. Yeah, I had to add the tweets, I needed to make sure the guys were still included in the story somehow. I need it to be confusing, so then you get that factor of when you work it all out you'll think it was a good storyline ;) Well, Echo is still trying to be civil, I wonder how long that will last and the interview is in this chapter, so enjoy! Well, I'm working on it now, I plan to do all of the guys in different OC fics but it's going to admittedly take me a long time. I don't think there are a lot of them that portrays the way he is on the TV show completely, I agree with you. Wow, you're German! I'm doing that as a GCSE and doing stuff about my free time, a writing test, I have to revise 273 words. I know our language is complicated but it's just getting the tenses and the verbs in the right place in German, the whole Ich Spiele Fussball and then the Ich habe Fussball gespielt. I know this may sound cheeky, but is there any chance you could read what I've done and see if I've made any mistakes? I really need to get a good grade on this! My exam for it is next Thursday! Thanks for the review : )
ally0101- Yeah, I'm getting there, just a little slow on the updates. Thank you, I'm glad you like it already and you know how I write, of course there is going to be drama along the way. Well yeah, it is a Big Time Rush fiction so I want to try and include them as much as possible, even if they are not directly in the story yet. Yeah, Griffin is finally seeing the woman Lisa is and it's going to be seen a lot in the next few chapters especially. Thank you for the birthday wish and thanks for the review : )
le trolling girl- Aha, thank you for the birthday wish! Aha, I hate her too, but nothing can be completely perfect in someone's life. Aha, I'm glad you like Echo's relationship with Asha and Griffin, I really want to emphasize the way that she has gone from treating Asha like a daughter, to a sister and Griffin a stranger, to a dad, it's important in this story. I'm glad you liked the tweets, I try to keep the guys in the fiction as much as possible so I'm glad you like it. A lot of people actually think Kendall has feeling for Echo still, I'm not saying anything yet –mainly because I haven't written anything yet- Aha, I'm genuinely pleased you like Jett, I don't want him to come off as the self conceited ass that he does on the TV show/ Well, here's the next chapter and thanks for the review : )
Dirtbracer- Aha, well it's nice to see you back and I'm honored to be your favorite author! Thank you again and I hope you're enjoying the story so far, here's the next chapter for you : )
SlavaV- Wow, 3 days that's commitment! I'm flattered you think it's a masterpiece and you've read the previous story. Ukraine, that's cool. I love how people from other native languages are so into trying to learn English and then for the English… we can't be bothered to learn anything because it's too hard for us. I'm trying to do German but I'm failing terribly! Thank you for the praise for my story, I really appreciate it and to be honest, your English is pretty good considering it's a second language, trust me. Thanks for the review : )
TheCooliest- Thank you for the praise. Don't worry, all will be revealed in due time. Well, all those questions will be answered, one by one through the next chapters upcoming, thank you again and thanks for the review, I hope you like this chapter and it answers some of your questions : )

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away
For a Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic- Paramore

"Yeah, I'm dating Kendall. He's your ex, isn't he?" She was peppy, real peppy and she seemed like the Virgin Mary. She was nice, too. She is the complete opposite of me… maybe that's why he likes her.

"Yes." I nodded, swallowing hard and going back to drinking my coffee.

I still had feelings for Kendall, no matter how small they are, the feelings are still there.

And James... I didn't even know what I was feeling for him.

At times, I really miss him and at others I'm glad he's gone.

I miss Carlos the most, he's dimple smile, his energetic life style, and the way he could put a smile on my face when I was going through the worst days.

"I was out in New Zealand at the time, a few months ago; we met at a bar and really hit it off, once he comes off the tour we're making it official." She said with a smile, she spoke with such innocence that I was jealous.

She seemed to be perfect.

"Good for you." I sighed, trying not to show how uncomfortable I was talking about this.

"Jo, you're needed on set."I wanted to kiss Jett for saving me as he walked up behind Jo and pointed to the set.

"Oh, okay. Well, it was nice meeting you." Jo said with a smile to me before getting up and walking away.

"Why so glum? You should be smiling because I'm here." Jett said cheekily with a grin as he sat down opposite me.

"Jo's dating Kendall." It was more of a question, I was so confused.

"She is? I wondered why she suddenly became obsessed with him." Jett said and then he realized the situation. "Oh...are you okay?" He asked, taking my hand on top of the table and looking at me.

Jett was sweet.

I smiled at him, "I think so." I nodded to him.

He squeezed my hand gently. "Good, so I was thinking, after today we can go out and maybe get a bite to eat."

"Jett, you already asked me this." I told him with a smile.

"I'm just reminding you about our lunch date." Jett said casually, a twinkle in his eye. "So have you read over the script?"

"Yup."

"You like your character?" Jett asked.

"She's a lot like me." I said with a smile.

"That was why she was created."

"I feel honored." I said grinning.

"Echo you're needed on set."Mark called and I nodded, turning to Jett and getting up and walking over to the set.

My first day on the set of New Town High went surprisingly well, apparently even though my skills are rusty and I know that I'm the worst actor on the lot I still have a relatable factor, the likeable factor and 'I'm not that bad,' Jett's words, not mine.

After everyone had left Mark talked to me, about the hours I would be doing, what episodes I was needed for and also me singing the contract for being with them.

I was actually really excited for working with everyone; I quite liked acting, even if I wasn't great at it.

By the time I had finished talking to Mark it was already bordering 5pm.

"You ready?" Jett came over to me as I put my script in my purse, todays and the next few episodes that I was told to read through and revise.

"Yeah." I nodded happily as Jett grabbed my hand as we began walking. "It's not going to be much of a lunch." I mused as we walked into the parking lot.

Jett shrugged. "Food is food."

"You're such a guy." I teased as we reached Jett's car and we both got in.

"I'd be pretty worried if I wasn't." He joked as he started the car. "We'll just get something simple from that lunch shack, five minutes away." Jett said as he drove out of the parking lot.

"I don't mind." I shrugged to him.

"Plus, we've gotta get you eating a lot, you've already missed lunch and you're supposed to be having three meals a day." Jett chided to me and I rolled my eyes.

"I'll just have pasta or pizza, high calorie stuff." I shrugged.

When we reached the shack I found myself asking to what Jett and I were.

We weren't friends but we weren't exactly official, more like friends with benefits at the moment.

The date passed with Jett pleasantly, we had a laugh. We spoke to each other about what we've been doing the past few months to which I answered 'being an angel' to which Jett laughed. We spoke about Jerry and Griffin, New Town High and all of the interviews that will be peaking up when we finished the season.

"Mark said he wants to put you as an official cast member for the rest of the seasons and write you a story line." Jett said as we finished the dinner and he drove me home, driving down the familiar street that was my home.

"I made an impression then?" I asked with a smile.

"Please, with that new body he's thinking about making you the eye candy of the show."

"Hey, I don't want to be subjected to that." I groaned.

"Even if you're just wearing jeans and a t-shirt you still look hot." Jett said honestly and I laughed.

"You're not too bad looking, yourself Mr. Stettson." I said as he parked on my drive way. "Today has been good." I said smiling to him.

"Yeah." Jett nodded. "I'll pick you up same time on Monday?" Jett asked referring to how I was needed on the set Monday and I nodded.

"Please do." And then he did what I had wanted him to do the whole day.

He kissed me.

It was so much better than the kiss in the hospital, I could actually maneuver around the car now, my hands slid into his hair and his around my waist as my body hummed and warmed up. I gasped in surprised when Jett's tongue poked my own and the kiss grew more heated. I pulled his hair tighter and Jett squeezed my skin as the air in the car grew hot and static and my body set on fire.

"I've wanted to do that the whole day." Jett said when we parted and I laughed shallowly, panting lightly.

"My lipstick is all over your lips." I said to him, reaching out to wipe off my make-up off from his lips. He watched, muted until I had got it all off and our eyes connected.

A few more passionate kisses later I waved Jett goodbye and walked inside the house.

"I'm home." I called out, walking straight into the kitchen to see Griffin on his laptop with a mug of coffee beside it.

"About time, I was getting worried." Griffin smiled at me as I placed my purse on the counter and sat opposite him.

"Dad, you don't need to be worried, I was with Jett." I told him smiling secretly.

"You like him." He observed my facial expression.

"He's so nice to me."

"But do you love him?" Griffin asked. "You look more like friends than lovers."

"Dad, I'm not sure what love is after Kendall. Jett is fixing me."

"So did you have a good day?" He thankfully changed the topic.

"Yeah, I've got the job, here are my scripts." I said handing him the scripts as I got up to make me some coffee.

He inspected them for some time until I began to sip my coffee, he spoke. "Echo, what's this?" He pointed to the back of one of the scripts, the doodles I had done absentmindedly.

"Oh, there just doodles, forget about them." I said waving it off as I came to sit down again but Griffin shook his head.

"These are lyrics, song lyrics. They're good." Griffin said as he read them. "I like them; I think you should use them."

"And what, become a singer again?" I joked laughing at my own joke but then I quietened when I noticed Griffin wasn't laughing with me. "You're not serious, are you?" I asked.

"I think you should."

"Dad, come on, we've already been over this, I don't want to sing."

"How about lyricist?" Griffin suggested. "These lyrics are about your hospital experience, if you use your experiences to write songs, you'll do well."

"A lyricist?" Well I did like writing, and I did help Gustavo write that song earlier in the year.

"And a producer, you can work with a manager, get a band, I'm sure Gustavo could help you out." Griffin nodded.

"Actually, I would prefer not to work with Gustavo." I said honestly, I wanted to face him when I was completely healed of my injuries that he mostly one of the root causes of.

"Who do you want to work with then?"

"A music manager who's popular but he's not under Global Nett Sanyoid." I admitted. "But I would share my earnings with you." I said honestly.

"Who?" Griffin asked.

"Hawk, I want to work with Hawk."

"Gustavo's enemy?" Griffin sighed.

"Does it matter if they are enemies, I feel like he would support me." I said to him.

"I'll make a meeting with you and him for Wednesday, noon. If you could write some more stuff by then that would be wise." I nodded.

"Thank you."

"And Echo, we need to talk about burial terms."

"For who-oh." I said.

"With what your lyrics say you're more affected with this than you say you are and I don't blame you; do you want a funeral for him?"

"Yes. I just want me, you, Asha, Jett and Camille there. No one else, just a small thing. And I want him buried in a bed of rose flowers." I said to Griffin. "Do I get to actually see him before he's buried?"

"The doctors said he hadn't developed yet and it would be wise that none of us saw him, it might affect you greatly mentally." Even though a part of me was angry that I couldn't see my dead son's body the logical side of me knew it was because Griffin cared about me.

"Okay." I reluctantly agreed with him.

"We'll have the funeral next Friday." Griffin said and I nodded to him.

"Alright, well I'm going to take an early night, I'm spent." I said to Griffin, kissing him on the cheek before going upstairs and flopping down on my bed and falling asleep instantly.

The month of November seemed to be my month; it was definitely a month that was being good to me.

I went shopping for a new wardrobe with Asha and Camille, we spent the whole day in the mall, laughing and joking just like old times.

I was going from strength to strength at New Town High, they liked how my character was developing as the outsider, Mark seemed impressed and so did Jett which made me so much happier.

I couldn't stop writing lyrics, my meeting with Hawk went smoothly, he said he would love the opportunity to work with me and he saw the lyrics and approved greatly of them. He said that he was in the process of finding a band now and he would pay me for the song rights when he found the band, he just told me to keep writing.

The funeral for my son was sad, but short. Even though he had never lived I felt a connection to him, he was mine and I loved him dearly even if I had never seen him. It was for the best.

And then rolled around the date that I had my interview for AM Florida.

"Echo, it's nice to see you again." Miles said as he walked over to make-up and the artists worked on my eye shadow.

I nodded, smiling at him. "It really is, Miles."

"Congratulations on such a speedy recovery, now for the interview I'm just going to ask you about the hospital and the past few months, if you don't want to answer a question just shake your head at me, okay?" Miles said kindly, I had noticed they didn't have Jane as their producer anymore, which I was thankful for.

"Thanks Miles."

"Alright, well I'm needed now; you'll be needed soon, too." Miles nodded to me before walking over to the set and starting the show.

15 minutes later I was sitting at a chair opposite Miles as he began the interview.

"So, Echo. It's been a long time since you've been here on AM Florida." Miles said to me and I nodded.

"Indeed it has," I said smiling.

"Now, I want to talk to you about your relationship with Kendall, what happened to you? No one actually knows." Miles said. And here came the awkward questions that I was going to have to answer sooner or later.

"In all honesty, Kendall was never in love with me. He just wanted to protect his band and show his loyalty to Gustavo."

"Are you not mad?"

"I was to begin with, and I still am, I'm just hurt and upset by it more than anything."

"So, after Kendall left no one heard a thing from you for two months, what happened?"

"I'm a teenager; I went through the break-up phases, depressed, angry, all of that."

"And then, on your birthday you ended up in hospital, now no one actually knows what happened, would you tell us what did?"

Here it goes. I nodded and took a deep breath. "Yes, I hadn't been eating, starving myself really but I didn't really notice anything because I wasn't loosing the weight. It started off as cramps through the day and then, I woke up in the middle of the night with such a big pain I started crying and ran out into the hallway. I called for my father and he called the paramedics, I was losing blood at a worrying pace..." I trailed off, taking a deep breath, trying not to cry or get upset.

"Take your time." Miles said to me in a fatherly way.

I took another deep breath; though it was shaky I still carried on. "I was in labor." I said. The utter look of shock on Miles' face said it all.

"You were in labor?"

"Yes, I had a miscarriage." I admitted, feeling somewhat happier I had finally told everyone the truth.

"The baby got strangled by my umbilical cord, and because I had been starving myself my organs had slowly began to fail, that was why I lost so much blood and why my body was under so much strain."

"So who is the father?"

"Kendall is the father, I can't see how I got pregnant, we were always careful but I don't think the baby would have benefitted from life, I needed a shock to get my life back on track." I said.

Kendall and I were constantly at it and I did, admittedly forget to take my pill a few times but I thought it would've been okay if I took them most days out of the week, clearly not.

"Have you contacted him or had a funeral for the child?"

"I haven't contacted Kendall, no. He doesn't know I was pregnant, he probably will now but I don't want him to worry or be blamed for this, it was out of my ignorance that the baby suffered and I have realized that. We had the funeral for him last week."

"A baby boy."

"Yes." I nodded as a tear slipped down my cheek. "I wasn't ready to have a child anyway."

"So what are you doing now?" Miles asked, seeing my upset state and quickly changing the subject.

"So you're finally healed?" Miles asked.

"I'm getting there." I said with another smile.

"Now, it's obvious that you've lost a lot of weight. Some people like it while others think that you're promoting eating disorders and broken down in the pressure of the media."

"No." I shook my head. "I respect people's opinions but I didn't purposely starve myself, I think that eating disorders are a definite dangerous thing to get into, I nearly killed myself. I want both young girls and guys to know that starving yourself is not the way to go, it only brings pain and misery. Just be happy in the skin you're in. I'm eating normally now and if I start to gain weight, which I haven't yet then I'll accept that. I've actually gained a lot of weight when I was in the hospital, I'm just thankful I'm sitting here now and talking to you."

"Inspirational words," Miles nodded. "Now, there have been rumors going around that you've been getting close to fellow co-star of New Town High, Jett Stettson." Miles said.

"Jett is such a sweetheart. He was right by my side at my hospital bed throughout the whole ordeal. He's such a nice person, beyond his ego that is." I said with a light laugh.

"But are you a thing?" Miles challenged.

"I guess you could say we are." I said to Miles.

"But is Jett a rebound?"

"I've known Jett since I was little and I've always hated him until this year, I would never do that to him."

"So you're dating Florida's bad boy?"

"I guess I am, yeah."

"Don't you think that's slightly reckless after the events of the past few months?"

"Your first real relationship is always the worst one when it comes to a broken heart; you're so young and naive. I liked to think that the last few months have changed me and I would like to wish Kendall and his girlfriend all the best in the future." A man behind the camera made a reference to that they were running over time and had to wrap up now.

"Well, I definitely think you're a new woman to the young girl I saw earlier this year. Thank you, Echo. I'm Miles Bainbridge, signing off for AM Florida." Miles said as the cameraman called it off and my interview was over.

The next day was spent up at the New Town High set with Jett.

"So we're dating now are we?" Jett asked as he parked the car in the parking lot.

"Well you tell me, Mr. Florida's Bad Boy." I joked as I got out of the car.

The next thing I knew Jett's lips were pressed to mine as he pressed my body up against his car and our lips sought each other's out hungrily. I moaned loudly when his hands wandered down to my ass and mine under his shirt, his torso was firm and warm and the way he was flicking his tongue in my mouth was making my head spin.

"Does that tell you enough?" Jett asked, whispering in my ear and I bit my lip, moaning lightly.

"It does now." I said with a smile as Jett's lips wandered down my neck, licking and sucking the skin there, causing multiple gasps emitting from my mouth.

"Oh God, Jett." I gasped.

"Keep making sounds like that and I'll throw you in the back seat of my car." Jett mumbled against my skin and his nose travelled up the length of my neck and I shivered in delight.

"Then stop." I said breathily, using what little willpower I had to push him away. "We're supposed to be working."

"Jett you're needed in make-up." Jo suddenly bounded over to us with her signature Virgin Mary smile. Jett gave me a heated, intense look before winking and walking away while I tried to keep my body under control.

"I saw the interview."Jo said. "I'm so sorry, about your son and everything." Jo said as we walked on the set and took a seat behind the cameramen as I usually did.

"It wasn't meant to be." I shrugged.

"Everyone's talking about your interview, but mostly because you mentioned Kendall had a girlfriend."

"Oh, was I supposed to keep it a secret? I'm sorry." I said, ashamed I had gossiped on Miles' show.

"No, no. I had wanted Kendall to say something for months but he didn't, now that you've said something everyone finally knows I'm his girlfriend." Jo said happily.

Why would Kendall not want to go official with Jo?

"Dude, put it on the news." Logan said to Carlos as they travelled in their tour bus, now in the city of Japan.

"Why?" Carlos asked as he stared up at the cartoons he was watching. It was early in the morning, and already, only 3 months into the tour it had taken its toll on the four teens. James and Kendall still argued, but not as much as when Echo was in hospital. Kendall had become more secretive and James had become angrier lately.

"Just fucking put it on." James sighed, tired of people talking.

"If Carlos wants to fucking watch cartoons then let him." Kendall said snidely to James and Carlos and Logan sighed. They were at it again.

"Its fine, Logan can watch the news." Carlos said, quickly flicking the channel over.

"…Now, I want to talk to you about your relationship with Kendall, what happened to you? No one actually knows." The guys looked up at the TV to Kendall's name and saw Miles talking to someone.

"In all honesty, Kendall was never in love with me. He just wanted to protect his band and show his loyalty to Gustavo." The guys were silent when the camera got a shot of who was speaking to Miles.

"Is that..?" Carlos asked.

"Shush!" Logan said to Carlos.

At that moment the boys couldn't believe Echo was talking, fine and happy. They hadn't seen or heard anything of her in months and as they saw the new her they struggled with accepting her new found maturity.

"Are you not mad?"

"I was to begin with, but I'm more upset and hurt more than anything." James couldn't believe what Echo had said. She was always so fiery and hot tempered, she'd get angry at anything and yet how she spoke calmly about how it looks like she respects Kendall being a fucking douche to her was unbelievable, I mean she has a right to be upset so why is she taking it so easily?

Meanwhile for Carlos he was just happy that she was alive and okay, the same with Logan. Kendall just stared at the screen emotionlessly.

"So, after Kendall left no one heard a thing from you for two months, what happened?"

"I'm a teenager; I went through the break-up phases, depressed, angry, all of that."

"And then, on your birthday you ended up in hospital, now no one actually knows what happened, would you tell us what did?" Logan sucked in a deep breath, he was the only one that knew the truth that was about to unfold.

"Yes, I hadn't been eating, starving myself really but I didn't really notice anything because I wasn't loosing the weight. It started off as cramps through the day and then, I woke up in the middle of the night with such a big pain I started crying and ran out into the hallway. I called for my father and he called the paramedics, I was losing blood at a worrying pace..."

"What?" Carlos said, looking to Logan. "Camille didn't tell us that!" The truth was she did after a breakdown over the phone to Logan but he couldn't muster up the courage to tell his other band mates and has kept it a secret since.

Now the fact that she had been actually hurt, the four boys actually felt bad for not at least sending her a card, but they knew Gustavo would never allow it.

"Take your time."

"I was in labor." As Echo said those four words their jaws snapped open.

"You were in labor?"

"Yes, I had a miscarriage. The baby got strangled by my umbilical cord, and because I had been starving myself my organs had slowly began to fail, that was why I lost so much blood and why my body was under so much strain."

"So who is the father?"

"Kendall is the father, I can't see how I got pregnant, we were always careful but I don't think the baby would have benefitted from life, I needed a shock to get my life back on track." Eyes slid over to Kendall who was now staring at the TV, wide eyed. He was a dad to a child that was never alive. He hurt her deeply and then technically nearly killed her.

Nobody knew what to say, even Logan was a little caught off guard with how open Echo was being.

"Have you contacted him or had a funeral for the child?" Miles continued on.

"A baby boy." Kendall had a baby boy, a baby. His child died.

"Yes, I wasn't ready to have a child anyway." The guys were all feeling a mutual feeling of shock as they stared at Echo, a tear slipping down her face. She would have never cried in front of anyone before, she wouldn't have wanted to talk about the subject and changed it with a witty comment.

Camille was right; she had grown into a woman.

"So what are you doing now?" Miles asked Echo as she wiped the tear away.

"Actually, I'm in a TV show called New Town High, we've been filming for a few weeks now and the season starts at the start of December. I've also been working closely with music manager Hawk, writing lyrics." It had seemed that she was getting her life back on track; Camille had said so after a phone call a few days ago.

"So you're finally healed?" Miles asked.

"I'm getting there." She said with another smile.

James was angry at Kendall; he had gotten Echo pregnant and broke her heart. He never used to be so thoughtless. And yet, he was the fatherly kind. The family man, James envied that about Kendall and when he saw Echo, his heart hammered. She looked absolutely stunning. It seemed like absence made the heart grow fonder for him.

"Now, it's obvious that you've lost a lot of weight. Some people like it while others think that you're promoting eating disorders and broken down in the pressure of the media."

"No, I respect people's opinions but I didn't purposely starve myself, I think that eating disorders are a definite dangerous thing to get into, I nearly killed myself. I want both young girls and guys to know that starving yourself is not the way to go, it only brings pain and misery. Just be happy in the skin you're in. I'm eating normally now and if I start to gain weight, which I haven't yet then I'll accept that. I've actually gained a lot of weight when I was in the hospital, I'm just thankful I'm sitting here now and talking to you." There she was again, talking about how she knew things had gone wrong and how she wanted to change, Logan knew she had become a role model to a lot of teenage girls.

"Inspirational words," Miles nodded. "Now, there have been rumors going around that you've been getting close to fellow co-star of New Town High, Jett Stettson." Miles said, this sparked Kendall's interest immediately.

"Jett is such a sweetheart. He was right by my side at my hospital bed throughout the whole ordeal. He's such a nice person, beyond his ego that is."

"But are you a thing?" Miles challenged.

"I guess you could say we are."

"How can she like such a fucking asshole like that?" Kendall suddenly became angry that she was dating again, while the others, even James felt happy that she was healing.

"Well she loved you, didn't she?" James asked bitterly. That was the truth, and Kendall wouldn't say that what James had just said actually hurt; he began to realize what sort of person he had become.

"But is Jett a rebound?"

"I've known Jett since I was little and I've always hated him until this year, I would never do that to him."

"So you're dating Florida's bad boy?"

"I guess I am, yeah."

"Don't you think that's slightly reckless after the events of the past few months?"

"GIRLFRIEND?" The three other guys said at the same time.

Kendall's eyes widened, how the hell did she know he was dating? He hadn't told anyone! Unless Jo said something...

"You're dating again?" Carlos asked with surprise.

"Yes, I'm dating Jo Taylor, who's on New Town High." Kendall admitted.

"Nice, first you leave her and then you shove Jo in her face to show you're dating." James said angrily to Kendall and even though neither Carlos nor Logan had said anything, they were in complete agreement with James on this one.

"Fucking forget it." Kendall said getting up and walking down to the other side of the bus. Echo had changed, she had become a better person it was clear to anyone to see, and even though he was dating Jo, the moment he saw Echo, emotions hit him that he hadn't felt in a long time...
