Chapter 19: Gotta get her back

Jo slammed the door behind her, tears streaming down her face as she leaned against it, her face in her hands.

"Josie?" Camille asked gently, putting her hand on Jo's shoulder as Stephanie came up behind.

"What did you say?" Lucy asked, a knowing half smile on her face.

"You knew?" Jo whispered, looking up from her hands.

"Of course I did!" Lucy smiled "Where do you think I was all of yesterday afternoon? I was getting that!" pointed to Jo's empty finger, dropping her hand when she realized "Please tell me it doesn't fit or something, tell me you said yes!"

"What are you talking about?" Stephanie asked as Camille rubbed Jo's shoulder gently.

"H-he proposed," Jo hiccoughed.

"What?" Camille asked loudly "Oh, God, proposed what? Please tell me he didn't-"

"He asked me to marry him," Jo said in a small voice.

"What did you say?" Stephanie asked, putting her hands over her mouth.

"N-no," Jo wiped at the pointless tears that had begun to sting her eyes again.

"What? Why?" Lucy demanded, receiving a glare from the other two, but Jo could tell they wanted to know, too.

"Was it the way he did it?" Camille asked.

"No, no, the way he did it was perfect! He was sweet, and romantic and he told me he loved me-and I wanted to say yes! But then we got in a stupid fight about why, and now I don't know what to do!" she cried, and Camille and Stephanie pulled her into a hug, stroking her hair and rubbing her shoulders to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Josie, everything's gonna be fine," Camille hushed as Lucy slipped out the door.

Lucy was fuming when she reached apartment 2J and rapped on the door.

"What happened?" she demanded of Logan when he answered the door.

"Lucy!" James appeared beside Logan, pecking Lucy's cheek before letting her into the apartment as Logan tried to answer her.

"Where's Kendall?" she demanded, looking around the apartment to see Carlos emerge from the swirly slide with Lacey on his lap.

"In his room," James replied simply. "he flung open the door about a half hour ago, stormed in there and shut himself in."

"Do you know what happened tonight?" Logan asked "he seems really mad, but he won't talk about it,"

"Let me talk to him," Lucy said, and she made her way into Kendall's room, shutting the door with a bang behind her. Kendall was sitting on the edge of his bed, ripping up pieces of paper into confetti-sized flakes and dropping them at his feet. "Hey," Lucy said.

"Hey," he mumbled, not looking up "Did they send you in?"

"No," Lucy said abruptly "listen," she sat beside him on the bed. "Jo's really upset about to tonight." her tough demeanor melted slightly as she mentioned her friend.

"Why should she be?" Kendall asked darkly lI'm the one who should be upset, humiliated by my girlfriend, who I thought loved me back!"

"She does love you!" Lucy assured him "More than anything! She wanted to say yes to you, Kendall!"

"She did?" he looked up at Lucy's words.

"Yes! But then it escalated, and you ended up fighting! I know she doesn't want to fight with you, Kendall, and I know to don't either! She wants the same thing you do, she wants you all to be a family! And she's ready, she just needs her boyfriend back," she finished gently "she misses you,"

"I miss her too," Kendall's voice cracked as he spoke "so much," he whispered.

"Then you need to show her, you've gotta get her back."

"Now?" Kendall asked, getting up,

"No," Lucy told him gently, putting her hand on his shoulder to push him back down. "Uh," she took her hand off his shoulder, avoiding his eyes as he looked at it. "give her some time to, uh cool down, then tell her,"

"Thanks, Lucy," Kendall pulled her into a hug and she flushed; she hadn't forgotten what happened between them when she had first moved to the Palm Woods.

"Any time," she pecked his cheek gently before getting up "For the record," she turned back at the door "I would have said yes,"
