Paisleys story.
Eurgh. Who was that? The phone rang in the hotel room.
Amberleigh answered it. We were both Hung over from our day off together yesterday.
We had spent the day shopping and sightseeing and the evening getting seriously merry in our room.
Kacey hadn't joined in though. She went out yesterday morning. And we hadn't seen her since. Her bed was still empty now as I glanced over to it with my weary eyes.
"That was maslow" Amberleigh said as she got off the phone.
"He is down stairs he wants to see you" she added.
"What? Why does he want to see me?" I asked her
"I don't know. He wanted kacey first but I said she hasn't been back. Then he asked for you." Amberleigh crawled back in to bed.
"God sake. Why didn't he just come up here?" I got out of bed and tied my hair up then dragged some jeans and a top on me.
I left the room and went down to the reception. I noticed the time on the oversized clock before I saw James.
Jesus it wasn't even 6 yet.
I walked over to James. He looked rough... well as rough as gorgeous James maslow could look. He had a baseball cap and sunshades on.
"Hi whassup" I greeted him cheerily.
"Come with me" he said, and he led me by the elbow out of the hotel and in to this amazing sports car.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
He ignored me. Jesus what was up the arses of all these big time rush boys. What did sheriden do to them all to make them so miserable.
He pulled up to the familiar looking town house That belonged to kendall But it was chaos here. There was photographers all over the place. They swooped in on the car pressing cameras up against the glass.
James stopped the car and pulled his phone out.
He dialled a number then spoke.
"Get in the car. I'm out side"
Then he Hung up.
What was going on.
"James what's happening?"
James turned and looked at me, I stared back at myself in the reflection of his sun glasses.
"We are trying to sort out the mess you have created of our lives" he almost spat the words back at me.
"What?" As I spoke kendall emerged from his house.
He also wore a hat and sun glasses. He pretty much ran up to the car, battled his way through the paparazzi and got in the back. James started to drive away slowly. Careful to not knock anyone over then he got pissed off and revved the engine and sounded the horn.
The sea of cameras finally made way for us to leave.
"What the fuck is going on?" I finally said
"You promised me pais'" kendall eventually spoke
"Promised what?" I snapped back.
"To not say anything about mine and sheridens baby" he hissed.
"What? I haven't said anything to anyone!" I bit back.
"Then how has kacey delta found out and told the papers a load of bull shit about it" James' voice sounded full of hate towards me.
"I swear. It wasn't me. Kendall please, I told you about my own baby. I would never..." my mind went in to over drive. I was ticking away.
"kacey was in bed the night you took me back to my room. She must have overheard us?" I looked over my shoulder to look at kendall.
"What the fuck are you two doing talking about it in front of kacey?" James added.
"I thought she was asleep" kendall said.
The rest of the short drive was a silent one.
"Fuck sake!" James said, As We pulled in to a large gated property.
I saw what James had cursed about.
Cameras were again all over the place.
"Why didn't you shut the gates" kendall asked James.
"She never shuts them. Ever. I didn't think to" came his reply"
The car drove up to as near the front door as possible.
" I can't do it. I can't get out there with all of them" I said looking at the vultures outside the car brandishing huge cameras.
"It's fine cmon" kendall said as he opened his door and got Mobbed by vultures. My own door opened up and kendalls hand reached in and pulled me out.
He held on tight as we made our way to the front door of the house.
I don't know how but we all made it inside. James locked the door behind him.
This house was beautiful. The large entrance I stood in had a huge white winding stair case. The floors were wooden and very shiny. The furniture in the entrance hall was so elegent and well placed.
We walked in to the kitchen. Again this was huge and had a large dark wood table in the centre.
I sat down but James and kendall remained standing.
"What are we going to do?" James asked kendall. His hands on his head.
"Gonna have to talk to them eventually. Clear it all up. It will blow over" kendall assured him.
"Where is sheriden?" He added.
"She is here. Don't worry" James concluded.
"Well I will phone Scott and see what he says" James said.
"Who is Scott?" I asked.
James ignored me and turned his back to me dialling on his phone
"He is our publicist. He tells us how to handle shit like this" kendall filled me in.
"You believe me that I didn't tell kacey don't you?" I asked kendall.
"Yeah I do" kendall gave me a reassuring smile.
James got off his phone and slid it back in his pocket.
"Scotts going to organise a proper press conference for us. He said don't say anything to the paps outside" he seemed calmer.
"James has someone been in here?" Kendall asked as he looked at a mess spilt out on the floor from an open cupboard in the far end of the kitchen.
James walked over to the mess and picked up the contents of what looked like a first aid box. He picked up a small sealed packet with a puzzled look on his face.
Kendall froze with fear for a second. It was a load of medical packet syringes.
"Shit" he said then ran out to the door in the next room.
"Sheriden?" "Sheriden!?" Kendall kept shouting.
"Where is she" kendall screamed at James.
James couldn't understand why kendall was so stressed out. Nor could I.
"she was upstairs" james said
kendall was out the kitchen and up the stairs. James and I followed.
"Sheriden?" Kendall kept calling.
"Maybe she went out?" I offered.
We were in sheriden lloyds bedroom. It was again beautiful with a huge picture of her on the wall.
Kendall opened a door in the bedroom.
"Fuck... Sheriden... No" came the shocked words from him.
As I moved to look in and see what kendall had seen I felt ill.
Sheriden lay motionless on the floor of the bathroom. The towel she once had wrapped around her lay scattered at the side. She lay on her front. I could see her very famous scar on her spine. I could also see she had vomit in her hair that was stuck to her face.
Then I saw the needle next to her.
It was James' screams that unfroze me from my shock. He was beside himself. He fell to his knees.
Kendall had turned sheriden and checked her breathing. She wasn't. Her lips were blue.
"Phone a fucking ambulance"
Kendall screamed at me.
I looked at James. Then grabbed his phone from his pocket and dialled 911.
"Cmon sheriden" kendall said as he gave her mouth to mouth.
James couldn't move. He just stared as kendall tried to revive his girlfriend.
"Kendall where am I. Address?" i asked in a panic
Kendall shouted the address to me, and I was told an ambulance would be here shortly.
It didn't look like sheriden was alive.
I ran down stairs and unlocked the door waiting for the ambulance.
They arrived after just a few minutes and I lead them upstairs to Sheridens bathroom.
James still sat on his knees in the door way. Kendall was pumping on sheridens heart.
"James cmon" I lead James back in to the bedroom.
"She is going to be fine" I told him. I went back to the bathroom door.
"Hello sheriden. Can you hear me?" the paramedic talked loudly at sheriden.
Kendall stood up as they took over looking after sheriden Lloyd.
He started crying.
"Do you know what she's taken?" The paramedic asked kendall.
"Heroin" he replied.
The paramedic rammed another syringe in to sheridens chest.
A gasp of air sucked in to her mouth.
Kendall slumped to his feet. His crying was uncontrollable.
But sheriden was now breathing but not conciouse.
They prepped her and lead her outside to an ambulance on a stretcher. James went with them leaving kendall and I in sheridens home.
We both sat at the big table in the kitchen.
"Kendall. She will be fine" I promised him.
"It's all my fault" he whispered.
"No... no its not. You did great. You saved her life kendall" I gave kendall a hug.
"I need to phone Carlos" he whispered at me.
"I think maybe that can wait?" I protested.
"Your not in a fit state to talk to anyone" I added.
"I have to. He is her family... oh sheriden. What were you thinking?" Kendall fell to pieces in front of me.
There was nothing I could say to help kendall. No words would soothe him for what he had just seen and done.
"Kendall when your ready we will phone Carlos then go to the hospital okay".
Kendall nodded. I made him a coffee and his anxiety slowly started to calm down.
He pulled his phone out and pressed a button.
"Carlos?..."
"yeah im...not so good."
"Carlos... sheriden overdosed and she is in the hospital. I think you should come back to L.A."
I stepped outside the room. I heard kendall break down in tears again.
I went up stairs to the bathroom where sheriden lay just moments ago. I stared for several minutes taking in everything that I had just seen.
I then took it apon myself to clean the bathroom up. The needle had gone. The paramedics must of taken it in a sharps box.
I cleaned the sick up from the floor. And picked up the fluffy white towel and placed it in the wash basket. The lighter and spoon I took downstairs and put them in the bin.
If James came back here at least he wouldn't have to see all that again.
I Tidied the mess up from the first aid cupboard and closed the door.
Then searched the kitchen for dog food.
I couldn't find any.
"What are you doing" kendall asked me.
"Was going to feed James' dogs. I cant see any food"
"It's probably in there." Kendall looked toward a door just next to the kitchen.
It was a utility room. Just as kendall had predicted. The dog food was on a shelf.
After feeding them I sat back down with kendall at the table.
"How come you knew where it was?"I asked him.
"It's where I had to put my dogs food when I was with her... sheridens not much of a dog person". He smiled at his own memories.
"Is Carlos coming?" I changed the subject.
"Yeah he will be getting on a flight later today. He is in Florida" kendall mused.
"Did you want to go to the hospital?" I asked kendall.
"Can't we are stuck here. I don't have my car. And that lot will mob us out side. Il phone for a cab".
"I wonder what the press have said that happened to sheriden?" I wondered out loud.
"The tv is through there" kendall said.
I walked in to sheridens lounge. It was beautiful but far too posh to properly relax in.
With large vases filled with fresh flowers and dark wooden ornate furniture.
There was another huge picture hung on the wall. Black and white, just like the one in her room but this one was of her and James.
Sheriden had her bare back to the camera with James arms carefully around her waist.
Her head was turned so you could see a side profile of her face. She looked in to James' eyes.
James was bare chested with black jeans on. Sheriden had one hand on his shoulder and the other rested on the belt buckle of his jeans.
Looking at James looking in to sheridens eyes made my heart thump.
He loved her so much. I wondered what on earth he must be going through right now.
Kendall walked in the room and saw me staring up at the beautiful picture in front of me.
"They did it for charity" he said.
He stood next to me and carried on.
"It was auctioned off to raise money for her spinal charity. But James being James put in the winning bid of 250 grand".
I looked at kendall in astonishment.
I could see why James would of bought the picture though, it was a very personal looking picture. I don't think it would of fitted in anywhere else in the world than sheriden lloyds house.
"There will be a car here in a minute. Did you want it to drop you off to the hotel?" Kendall asked matter of factly.
"Er... I would like to see how she is if you don't mind me coming with you?" My voice was low.
Kendall looked at me. I don't think he wanted to go alone to the hospital.
"Sure" he replied.
He turned the tv on and sat down on the large cream leather sofa.
The news wasn't good. They had pictures and footage of sheriden being taken out in to the ambulance.
They suspected over dose and ran a story on her previous drugged up life.
My own picture also popped up. It looked like sheriden wasn't the only one kacey had told tales on.
The tv was telling me i was in a relationship with kendall. They even had a picture of us from this morning holding hands getting away from James' car.
What was Ryan going to say when he saw this.
My whole world seemed to collapse in seconds.
Obviously kandy teaze was finished thanks to kacey. And now my boyfriend was going to find out I had slept with kendall Schmidt.
Kendall turned the tv off.
"I'm sorry" he said.
A tear left my face. This was not the time to do this. I can't break down now.
Kendall gave me a cuddle. It felt nice.
"You okay pais'" he asked.
"Yeah... yeah. It will get sorted huh." I convinced myself.
"I will talk to your boyfriend if you want... you know clear the air. Explain what's actually happened".
"Sure okay" I mumbled. I gazed out the window for several minutes collecting my thoughts.
A car horn beeped outside and kendall grabbed my hand again to help me escape the cameras.
"Don't talk okay" he said just before we left the house.
Kendall picked up some keys on the sideboard and locked sheridens house before climbing in to the back of a tinted window car with me.
