last chapter! Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: i don't own anything, but i wish i owned james... he's be useful...

POV: Kendall Knight

Why would James do this to us? He's our best friend, and we need each other more than any of us know.

I just kept holding him; he needed me. "James," I whispered. "It's okay. It isn't the end of the world."

"Yes it is…" he sobbed.

"Carlos, Logan, just leave," I said to them. "He just needs to be alone and not crowded."

"Okay," Logan said. "Call me if something goes wrong."

The two of them started walking back towards Rocque Records.

"Kendall," he said. "Why?"

"I guess he just saw what everyone else in this godforsaken country saw in Life magazine. That certain article about a certain someone."

"It's not fair… he can't discriminate me like that!"

"I know, James. It's not right."

"Then why is he doing it?"

"Well, Gustavo's a turd."

"Oh, he's such a turd, oh yeah, a giant turd."

"That's my song. You don't get to sing it."

"It's because I'm gay, isn't it?"

"James, the line is 'it's because I'm black', not gay."

"Whatever." His tears stopped for a while.

I just stayed quiet for a while. I didn't want to say anything that would set him off again.

"I think I'm okay, now," James said, shifting his weight and preparing to stand up.

"Okay." I pulled him up and hugged him.

"Thanks, Kendall," he said into my shoulder. "Just… for everything."

"No problem."

"Ooh, James! Is Kendall one of your many victims?" a voice behind us said.

I turned around and came face-to-face with a paparazzi.

"How long has this little thing been going on?" he asked.

"It's nothing," I said. "He's not gay, either."

POV: James Diamond

Wow. Hearing those words come from Kendall's mouth made me almost believe it.

"What do you mean, he's not gay?" the paparazzi asked.

"It was just a prank. James ticked off Logan a few days ago. Logan just wanted to get back at him."

"Well then. I guess I don't have a story."

"I guess you don't."

When Kendall and I got back to the Palmwoods, I was much more confident. I saw a couple of the guys that I had been with, but I didn't get that urge that I usually had when I saw them.

Jo came up to Kendall and kissed his cheek. "Hi, bye." And she walked away.

I stared at her. This feeling came over me… it was strange… but I kind of liked it.

The Jennifers passed by, and I stared at them, too. I couldn't help it. I loved that warm gushy feeling that seeing women sent through my gut.

So this was what being straight felt like…

Well, like i said, that was the last chapter! THE END!
