Ch. 20: Big Time Troubling Party

"Hey! You guys came after all!" Sean said, opening the door to his crowded, noisy house to find the four BTR boys outside in the front yard, holding their respective boyfriends' hands.

"Of course we came!" Carlos said "Would we be known as Hollywood's Super Party Kings of Hollywood if we hadn't come?" as he said this he smacked James' fist.

"Ugh…you said Hollywood twice," Sean said confused.

"I know right!" Kendall and Logan both exclaimed at the same time while James shook his head amused.

"Well come on in!" Sean said excitedly.

The four BTR boys made their way inside the crowded house.

Kendall was dressed in a plaid blue shirt with tight, dark blue jeans and black sneakers. James had on a black t-shirt which hugged his body nicely and a black leather jacket as well as black jeans and white sneakers. His hair, as usual, was flawless in every way.

Logan wore a buttoned long-sleeved white shirt and black formal pants with shiny black shoes. Carlos wore a yellow t-shirt with torn, faded blue jeans and his usual helmet.

Sean gestured for them to sit with him at a table where he was currently sipping a bottle of beer but Kendall dragged James to the dance floor instead.

James moaned as Kendall began grinding his hips into James' own ones, attracting several curious looks from the people around them who, after all, had just found out from Sean that Kendall and James were dating one another.

"K-Kendall!" James gasped, feeling himself harden as Kendall continued to grind into him "Kendall stop, we can't do this here!"

"Mm…why not babe?" Kendal purred in his ear, making James shiver.

"Because!" James hissed "We're in public!"

"So?" Kendall nuzzling James' neck.

James' protest was lost in a moan as Kendall began to roll his hips against his, creating a delicious friction, immediately causing his member to spring back to life.

"Want to play with me James?" Kendall purred in his ear.

"Oh God, yes," James gasped out.

Kendall then pulled his boyfriend into a more heated make out session, his hands curling around James' sacred hair.

"Um…I don't mean to interrupt," Logan said awkwardly.

Kendall and James separated and both glared at Logan.

"Well, you are," James said angrily "So whatever it is you have to say, say it fast and get the hell away!"

"Really?" Carlos asked, coming up to them "You guys want to get all naughty and hot with each other here? In front of all these people?"

"Mood kill…" James muttered angrily.

"Anyways, you have to talk to the rest of our friends, that's what we came to the party for in the first place, remember? To socialize?" Logan said.

"KENDALL!" the four BTR guys turned to look at their whole hockey team that were coming to welcome back their star player, Kendall Knight.

"Guys!" Kendall exclaimed, smacking fists and clapping the backs of his old team.

They ended up dragging him away from James and the other three, eager to know what he'd been up to since he'd left their school.

James sighed, watching from afar how Kendall was ambushed with the attentions of all his old admirers who, even now, nearly a year after, still remembered super-star hockey player Kendall Knight and wanted his autograph, or tips on how to do better in hockey, or just to know what he was up to.

"Will you be okay if Carlos and I leave you for a minute?" Logan asked James.

"Sure," James said with a shrug, "Have fun dancing guys,"

"Thanks" they answered him together before leaving, holding hands.

James watched amused as he watched Carlos and Logan awkwardly dance together.

"Hey," said a voice from behind "Mind if I sit down?"

"Not at all Sean," James said, turning to smile at his ex-boyfriend.

"Good," he said sitting down next to him, returning his smile "Where's Kendall?"

"He got ambushed by our old hockey team," said James with a laugh.

Sean chuckled.

"Figures," he replied "So," he added "How have things been, you know, between you two? Isn't it rather awkward to be dating your best friend?"

"Kind of," James allowed "But I wouldn't trade him for anything in this world…"

"Funny," Sean commented casually "You guys all talk about how much you mean to each other but, in all the time you've been here, I've never once heard you guys say you love one another…"

"We-we do," James said uncomfortably "Or-or I do anyways…Kendall- he-he's not like that. He doesn't know- not yet- what he-what he feels about this whole new being gay thing and-and I don't want to force him into anything he isn't ready for yet."

"Ah, I see," Sean said, his eyes narrowing "So kind and gentle Jamie, like always, I see, but I can't help but worrying over you…I'm your friend, I should watch out for you,"

"What-what do you mean?" James asked confused.

"I mean," Sean replied before lightly adding "Hey, do you want to drink a little something, you seem kind of dehydrated there…"

"Um, sure," James said uncertain of where the topic change had come from, at least, until he smelled the cup Sean was handing him. Then it all made perfect sense.

"Sean, I can't," he said, pushing the cup away "We're not supposed to drink, we have eyes on us everywhere and-if we do something like this- chances are they'll send us packing. The last thing Hollywood needs is another superstar scandal because one of its top bands got its members drunk."

"You're not getting drunk with just a sip," Sean said reasonably "Besides, it really looks like you need it to let out some stress and all…"

James hesitated before taking a small sip.

It wasn't the first time he tasted alcohol but it had been a long time since he'd last had any so that its bitter flavor caused him to choke a little.

However, for all that it was worth, Sean was right, it DID help him relax.

He and Sean began talking about what they were currently doing with their lives; James learned through Sean how most of their old school had turned into BTR admirers after they'd left as well as many other gossips regarding several of their old friends.

The alcohol made it easier for him to talk as well and he began to tell Sean all about their life in Hollywood, from the tedious dance rehearsals with Gustavo to the glorious Palm Woods' Pool.

Somehow though, they ended up talking about James' relationship with Kendall.

"So," Sean said casually "Knight treating you alright?"

James shrugged.

"I guess," he said "He's been the best so far, always so kind and gentle. Then again you know him, he's-well-he's Kendall Knight…"

"James," Sean asked "Is something bugging you?"

"Oh it's nothing," James said with a sigh, taking another sip of beer "It's just- sometimes I think- never mind,"

"What?" Sean pressed on, genuinely curious.

"Sometimes I wonder if Kendall feels the same way about me as I do about him," James replied "I mean, it's been a month and he still hasn't told me he loves me yet, whereas I tell him I love him all the time, besides, he never starts anything between us-it's always me who starts the heavy make out sessions and other-stuff. Sometimes I wonder if he's still ashamed of me- ashamed of what we are…."

"Well if he is then he's an idiot," Sean replied, caressing James' hair "James, you're amazing, kind, funny and sweet and any guy or girl would kill to have you…if he can't recognize what a lucky bastard he is then he's not worth it…you deserve someone who loves you Jamie as much as you love them."

Wordlessly he got up and began to rub James' tense shoulders, rubbing soothing circles to calm him down.

James moaned, feeling a little light-headed from the alcohol and from Sean's hands on his body.

"James," Sean said, turning to look at him "Why did we break up?"

"Be-because I was-I was going away- to L.A and-and we agreed to-we agreed that long distance relationships usually didn't…" James said faltering; he was finding it very hard to speak, to think with all the alcohol in his system and Sean's intense stare boring into his own eyes.

"I never doubted, not even for a second," Sean said, placing both his hands on James' waist, bringing the pretty boy closer to him.

"Doubted- doubted what?" James asked, dazed.

"That I loved you," Sean answered simply before adding "I still love you Jamie, you have no idea… I've waited so long to see you again…so long…"

Without any more words he kissed James' gently on the lips.

James did not even hesitate and kissed him back…

A/N: DUN DUN DUN! What will happen now?

Bet you all want to kill me now, don't you?

JAMES: You made me a cheater!

ME: So I did...

JAMES: Hold it! Where are the others? Where's Kendall?

ME: Luckily for you none of them are here right now...

JAMES: Well at least give me a good reason why I should cheat on Kendall...

ME: There's really no GOOD reason James, but you're right, you need more information so stay tuned for next chapter!

JAMES: Review count?

ME: Well 7-8 reviews would be nice...particularly after my whole laptop-mess deal but if it doesn't happen well, next chapter should still be up next chapter. And that's all people so...

JAMES: Review!

*Reviews are the magical key to unlock next chapter by next Friday ;)*
