The Palm Woods Lobby
Summer has a worried look on her face as she sits down on a couch in the lobby. Logan just looks at her and does not sit down beside her; he crosses his arms and stands there glaring at her. She shifts uncomfortably in her seat from the unrelenting gaze coming from Logan's frosty eyes. "Can I explain?" Summer asks avoiding Logan's imperious stare.
"Oh yeah I'm sure this will be a good one" Logan says with a bitter smile on his face. Summer doesn't say anything because she is trying to figure out how to word what she wants to say.
She finally looks directly into Logan's brown eyes. "Logan I didn't mean to disrespect you at the studio. I was just so excited that everything I had been dreaming about was coming true. I totally forgot about you and I wanted to let my parents know that I could do it and that they were justified in coming here for my dreams. Please understand Logan, I couldn't do it without you but without my parents I wouldn't even be in Los Angeles."
Logan's stance softens but his eyes remain hard. "You made me look like a total tool in front of my boss. You made me absolutely crazy by abandoning me right after I gave you the best opportunity ever. That's unforgivable, I'm sorry but I can't believe that you wouldn't want to thank the person who gave you the opportunity first. Especially since I was standing right there the entire time" Logan yells waving his arms wildly as he does so. She starts to respond but Logan cuts her off by turning on his heel and striding away to the waiting elevators and he hits the button for his floor, not looking at the girl he left crying in the lobby.
The next morning dawns with a thunderstorm and multiple depressing memories for the occupants of the Palm Woods. Taryn's alarm clock wakes her up from the nightmares she was having about unfaithful people and fighting people. She turns her alarm clock off and rolls out of bed to find her phone glowing in the dimly lit room. She frowns when she reads it; it is from Kendall saying he wants to meet her alone today. She climbs out of bed and gets ready to meet the man that may possibly someone he says he isn't.
She brushes her hair and puts it into a ponytail. She checks her reflection in the mirror and is satisfied with what she sees; she leaves from her apartment and shuts the door behind her. She makes her way up to the roof to find Kendall up there gazing out across the freshly soaked landscape. She tentatively makes her way over to him, glad for the respite from the driving rain. As thunder rumbles overhead Kendall turns around and looks at her through rain soaked hair.
"Listen Taryn" Kendall begins "that other girl that you saw me with was an ex girlfriend. I let her know there was nothing between us and she just could not accept the fact that we were finished." He walks over to Taryn and takes a hold of her hands. "I swear I would never do anything to hurt you and"
All of a sudden the roof door slams shut and from behind it steps Greg. He steps forward with a mocking smile while slowly clapping his hands. "Good one Kendall, so what comes next? The tender kiss? The loving embrace? The promise to see each other later?" Greg asks as he takes another step closer to the two other people on the roof. He turns to Taryn and says "Only reason I know this is because I was up here when he told the other girl those exact same things. I think her name was Cecilia or Sarah or something like that, which one was it Kendall?" Greg asks of the now pale boy in front of him.
Kendall howls in disgust and launches himself towards Greg. Greg anticipates this move and lithely moves to the side while slapping Kendall down into the roof gravel. Kendall stands up and wipes blood from his lips as Greg says "I don't want to hurt you Kendall." Kendall smirks as he throws a sudden punch at Greg's face; Greg blocks it and steps forward grabbing Kendall's shirt and throwing him against the metal door. As Kendall moans in pain Greg says "remember that I am the one who initially started coming up here." Kendall tries to punch out towards Greg's crotch but Greg grabs his hand and punches him in the face. Taryn lets out a squeak of horror as she watches the beat down.
Taryn recoils in horror remembering what he did to Kendall. Greg smiles at her and says "I promise I won't hurt you. I didn't want to have to do that to him but he attacked me. I promise not all guys are like him." She smiles and takes his offer of help and climbs to her feet. "Please don't tell anyone I done this, I don't want people to think I am some angry monster that can't contain his anger" Greg says opening the door for Taryn and allowing her to walk down first. He then drags Kendall inside so he doesn't get struck by lightning or struck by hail.
Everybody watches as Greg and Taryn come out of the stairwell smiling to themselves. Taryn thanks Greg and walks off to her audition for a part in the next Fast and the Furious movie. Greg clenches his hand because now it is starting to swell and get painful. Jo comes up to him and notices his fist. "Have you gone around hurting more people?" She demands making a scene in front of everybody in the lobby. Greg doesn't bother to answer he just walks away from the irate girl and leaves her standing there looking foolish.
