my chapter, enjoy!

POV: James Diamond

Those girls that were with Kendall… wow. And I don't mean Jo. Jo's cousin is even wow-ier.

The next day, I approached her. "Hi. I'm James Diamond, and I'm in a band. I'd like to take you-"

"No," the girl rudely interrupted me.

"Excuse me?"

"Hi, I'm Emma Miller, and I'm in a band. I'd never like to see you ever again."

"Did you just turn down 'the beast?'" I wiggled my fingers in front of my face when I said the last two words.

"Yeah, I did." Emma started walking away, flipping her gorgeous brown hair over her shoulder.

I pulled out my comb, brushed over my bangs, and followed her.

"What did you say to me?" I snapped, pushing her shoulder around so that she was pinned against the wall.

Okay, she looked scared now. "I already have a boyfriend!"

"That's what they all say."

"Seriously, I do!"

"Hey!" Some red-headed freak started running towards us.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked.

"I'm Lee."

"And I care why?"

"I'm her boyfriend."

Oh. Shit.

Lee pulled Emma aside, then turned and slammed his fist into my face. I felt blood running over my lips from my nose.

Oh. No. He. Didn't.

I snapped a strong round-house kick at his gut. But he grabbed my leg and pushed it back at me, making my fall over.

Then he leaned over me and pulled out his pocket knife, holding it about a centimeter away from my throat. "It you ever touch her again, I swear, I'll kill you."

I put up my hands in surrender. I was really scared now.

"That's what I thought," Lee snarled and left, pulling Emma with him.

I got back to 2J, unsuccessfully trying to plug my bleeding nose.

"What happened to you?" Kendall asked.

"Emma's boyfriend is a monster."

POV: Emma Miller

I could feel peoples' eyes on us, but Lee didn't seem to mind.

He brought me over to a beach chair and sat me down; making sure that my little episode with James didn't traumatize me too badly.

"You do know that you're not my boyfriend, right?" I asked him. "Micah is."

"Yeah, I know. That won't stop me from treating you like the princess that you are." He leaned down and kissed my forehead.

And, of course, that's when Micah shows up, looking sexy as usual while he was showing off his perfect abs and white-blonde hair.

I couldn't help but smile and bite my lip when he came over to me and kissed my cheek.

"Hello," he murmured, stroking my hair.

"Hi. You're all wet."

"Oh, really? I didn't notice."

Kayla and Martha ran up to us. "Hey, you two love-birds, we have rehearsal!"

"Crap!" Micah pulled his shirt on and pulled me up from my chair.

After rehearsal, we were all hanging out at the pool again, for maybe the hundredth time since we got here.

My whole boy dilemma: mucho complicated-o (is that even a word?) anyway; I know that Micah's my current, but what about Lee and Darren? I like them, too. Why does being a girl have to be so complicated?

As if he could read my mind, Micah swam over to me and put his arms around my waist. "I'm always gonna be here for you," he whispered in my ear. "You don't have to worry about anyone else, I promise."

"Really?"

"Yes." Micah's lips pressed to mine for about half of a second.

When he swam away again, I caught the look in Lee's grey eyes. He gazed at me with a burning hunger in his eyes. I could see the same emotion in Darren's green eyes.

Lee smiled at me in that "what-are-you-thinking-about?" kind of way.

I swam over to him and gave him a hug. "I'm just glad that we're all here together."

I felt his arms instantly go around me. Why did so many guys want me? I didn't do anything to them!

POV: Kendall Knight

Best.

Night.

Ever.

I'm not kidding.

A couple weeks later, Jo and I had a totally hot-and-heavy make-out session on her couch.

I stared into her deep brown eyes and slowly got mesmerized by them.

Emma ran in and slammed the door behind her. "MICAH IS A (insert swear word here)!"

"I'll be right back," Jo said to me, and then raced off to wherever her cousin was hiding.

I was waiting on the couch for a while before I texted Jo:

is everything okay?

yeah. just come back later – there's a key under my outside doormat – just come in

okay.

"Kendall!" Carlos yelled when I walked in the door to 2J. "I lost my helmet again!"

I looked at the top of his head, with the helmet on it. "Oh, really?"

"Yeah! Can you help me find it?"

"Sure," I said sarcastically, and walked away, smacking the backside of his head.

"Oh," I hear him mutter.

Logan was on the couch reading his Phoebe Nasheem book. I hit the back of it, sending the pages into his face.

James came in my room, without knocking, and sat on my desk.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"You and Jo. Have you told her that you love her yet?"

"No, I'm thinking about it, though."

"Next time you see her, tell her."

"Okay. Yeah, I'll do that."

I was standing outside of Jo's apartment door, the extra key in my hand.

Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath. I was gonna tell her tonight.

I poked my head in the door to make sure that she was decent.

She wasn't.

She was lying on the couch with some red-head, both half naked.

It was like getting kicked in the gut and punched in the neck.

I just stood there for a minute, to make sure that what I was seeing was real, and Jo saw me standing there. "Kendall-"

I slammed the door and walked down the hall, my arms crossed over my stomach.

Why the hell would she do that to me? I'd seriously thought that we had something.

I felt tears welling up behind my eyes and my breath grew ragged. Why did this hurt so badly?

Oh yeah – I loved her.

And what do I get in return?

I get my heart stabbed, torn out, thrown on the ground, and stomped on with metal cleats.

That's true love for ya – not.

I ran in 2J and went straight for my room.

"Did you tell her?" James asked eagerly.

I didn't answer him.

And for the record, he didn't deserve an answer from me.

Once I was in my bedroom and the door was shut, I let my tears fall freely. Nobody was there to see, so I didn't really care.

I crawled in my bed and pulled the covers over my head.

"Kendall?" Logan asked, suddenly in my room.

I stopped my tears for a moment. "What do you want?"

"What's wrong?"

I grabbed something and chucked it at his head. I didn't know what it was and I missed y a couple feet, but it sounded heavy by the thud it made when it hit the wall and floor.

"Was that a book?" I asked weakly.

"Yeah."

"Oh." I felt tears again, and I hid under the sheets again so that Logan wouldn't see me cry.
