i want to make a few things clear.
1. i ask for reviews because if people aren't going to read this story, i'm not going to keep posting.
2. i don't know what the relationships are going to be, yet. i might throw in some OC's. no clue yet.
DISCLAIMER: i own nothing mentioned in this chapter or, frankly, anything except for the plot. i do wish i owned James, though. darn...
POV: James Diamond
At least I finally told someone. It was killing me inside and I knew that Kendall would understand… hopefully.
"I just… can't believe that you'd keep this from us," Kendall said, still lying on his bed trying to fall asleep.
"I didn't want things to be awkward." I got up and turned off the light. "I didn't want you to think that I'd come after you in the middle of the night and try to strip you down or anything like that."
He closed his eyes. "I guess that was for the best. I really had no idea that you were gay. You don't show it at all."
"Seriously? I thought you and the guys didn't want to say anything about it and be wrong."
"Nope. No idea. For me at least. I don't know about the other two."
I sighed and snuggled under the covers on my bed, not his. It was killing me not to be in bed with some guy, but I had to do it to save this band.
"You understand, right?"
"Understand what?"
"That I'd never try to do anything to you, or Carlos, or Logan."
"I know. It just changes everything, now." He was quiet for a while after that.
I rolled over onto my left side to look at him. He was asleep. I had succeeded.
The next week, I was feeling so much better since I had confided in Kendall. It felt good to know that I could trust someone to not let my secret loose.
I was wrong.
The weird looks people on the streets had been giving me were because of this weekend's cover of Life magazine. I hadn't seen it yet, so I didn't know.
JAMES DIAMOND – IS HE GAY? SEE DETAILS INSIDE
I flipped through the glossy pages and found the story on me. I really thought I could trust Kendall, but I guess I was wrong. I can't believe that he'd spill my biggest secret to the tabloids and break my trust with him.
An insider with the name of Logan Mitchell leaked to the press that one of his best friends wasn't as straight as you might think he is. "I was listening to James and Kendall talking in the middle of the night, and James said that he was gay," Logan spills. "It scared me that we were sharing the same apartment, and even more scared for Kendall, who shares a room with him."
So it was Logan. That little devil…
James, if you're reading this, you opened your mouth at the wrong time and in the wrong place. "The walls are almost paper-thin between our rooms, so it's not hard to hear things that go on. It was just probably anxiety for the next night's concert, and that's why I was up, too. I didn't know that they were playing truth-or-secret next door."
I threw the magazine down and ran back to 2J. Why would Logan do this to me?
