DISCLAIMER: The BTR boys aren't mine...but if they were...(*sighs dreamily).

Ch.24: Big Time Cheating

The rest of the week was stressful for the four boys. Gustavo had them working nearly at all times of the day, and when they weren't with Gustavo, their families often had stuff they wanted to do with them. Carlos and Logan, because their families knew they were together were allowed to be together some time but since Brooke didn't know anything about Kendall and James' relationship, her activities usually ended up giving the couple no alone time. No free time to act like the couple they were.

There was also the fact that Kendall noticed that James was becoming rather distant.

He, of course, had no clue of what was really going on, he thought it was just due to the stress of hiding things from James' mom, but it pained him to see how cold James was around him.

Unknown to Kendall, Sean now called James every single night, and they'd even gone out other dates throughout the week. Dates which often ended in not-so-innocent activities.

James sighed as his phone rang again. It was the second time in half an hour.

He decided he'd pick up this time.

"What is it, Kendall?" he asked.

"Hey James," Kendall said weakly at the other end "Listen, I was thinking, do you want to hang out in the park this afternoon? Just you and me…"

"Kendall," James said and Kendall did not miss the irritation in his boyfriend's voice "You know very well my mom holds her little friend gatherings today in the afternoon and that she always asks me to stay and help her…you know I can't…"

"You're right…sorry…" Kendall said, slightly hurt "I just-I wanted us to- you know- do something together…"

"We'll see if we can do anything tomorrow," James said curtly "Now I've got to go Kendall, bye!"

"No-James-don't!" Kendall said but James had already hung up.

Kendall sighed unhappily. Something was wrong with his boyfriend, of that much he was sure of, he just didn't know what. He hoped James wasn't angry at him yet for some reason, Kendall thought he was.

Deciding to get out of the doubt, Kendall quickly typed a text to James.

James sighed frustrated as he attempted to perfect his hair before his date with Sean who was due to arrive any minute now and the phone beeped.

He grabbed it off his bedside table and quickly read it.

From: Kendall
To: James

-James, r u angry at me? :s

James sighed once again before quickly typing a response.

Kendall quickly grabbed his phone as soon as he felt it beep in response, anxious to know the answer.

From: Jamie-baby
To: Kendall

-No

James huffed, annoyed as he felt his phone beep again. If Kendall kept this up then he and Sean were going to be late to-

James had to stop and laugh at the absurdity of the situation. He was ignoring texts and calls from his boyfriend and was annoyed at his boyfriend from making him late to a date he had with another guy. The guy he was cheating on his boyfriend with. What an irony…

James shook these thoughts away and instead concentrated on Kendall's answer.

From: Kendall
To: James
-Are you sure?

James sighed again before replying.

From: Jamie-baby
To: Kendall
-Yes Kendall, I'm sure. I'm not angry at u ok? Why'd you think that?

Kendall sighed at his boyfriend's response. He could hear the annoyance in the text as though James had read it out loud himself. And yet he claimed he wasn't angry with him. He answered quickly, hoping things would be better between them.

James actually let out an exasperated huff as his phone beeped again with another message from Kendall. He fished it out of his jeans' pocket and read it.

From: Kendall
To: James

-Dunno. You seem kind of…off lately.

After reading it he knew what he could say to calm his boyfriend down for the time being, meanwhile though, he really did have to finish combing his hair…

Kendall sighed unhappily as he stared at the blank screen in his phone. James was taking a long time to answer.

Finally, it beeped.

From: Jamie-baby
To: Kendall

-Don't sweat it baby. I'm just feeling tired, that's all. Tell u what, I'll go take a nap and come pick u up 4 dinner- that sound cool to u?

Kendall's heart leapt and he couldn't help but smile.

James finally finished his hair. He hoped last text kept Kendall happy and occupied for the time being. Enough so he wouldn't interrupt him and Sean on their date.

He felt his phone beep again and smiled at Kendall's answer.

From: Kendall
To: James

-Sounds perfect. Have a nice nap baby and remember…dream about me ;)

James felt his stomach contract into a guilty knot. Kendall's answer really bugged his conscience and he suddenly became aware of the great pain he'd be putting Kendall through if he ever found out about his and Sean's adventures together.

'Unless he doesn't love me´ James thought 'Unless he's screwing around with me and dumps me in the end ´cause he decides dating me is too weird…'

Somehow, he didn't feel so guilty anymore.

He heard the doorbell ring and his mother scream up at him that Sean had arrived.

James smiled and headed downstairs…

Halfway through the date, Sean noticed James was quieter than usual.

"Something bugging you?" Sean asked.

James shook his head.

"No, nothing, I'm just thinking…that's all…" he said.

"About?" Sean asked.

"Kendall…" James said and Sean sighed unhappily. Kendall was mentioned between them too often for his liking.

"What now James?" he asked.

"It's nothing, it's just- I think he suspects something, I don't know…this afternoon he kept trying to call me, trying to get us to go out and stuff…then when I hung up on him he sent me texts asking me if I was mad at him…"

"So tell him you are," Sean said "You're mad that he's playing with your heart and emotions and that he's not sincere with his feelings like you are…"

"I don't want to fight with him Sean," James said "I feel like that's the only thing we've done since we came here…fight, fight, fight…"

"What did you tell him then?" Sean asked.

"I told him I wasn't, obviously, said I was just tired and wanted to sleep and that I'd pick him up tonight and go out to dinner with him…" James said.

Sean sighed.

"I don't like this, Jamie," he said placing a hand over James' "You're going to get your heart broken if you continue trusting Knight like that…just end things with him and stay with me…"

"I might, sometime in the future, just not right now," James said "Things just aren't that simple between us Sean, and then there's the band to think of, how it would break up if Kendall and I started having tensions around one another…"

"Man, at times like this, when it's your heart on the line for heartbreak, it sure does suck to be famous…" Sean muttered.

It scared James how he suddenly began agreeing with what Sean was saying….

A/N: AND there you go...not much of a meaningful chapter but I can tell you there's a s**t ton of drama coming up ahead. I'm already half-way through with next chapter so...who knows? You guys might get lucky and get two updates this week.

Of course, that depends on the amount of reviews I get, like always, for they're like water and food for my interior writer.

Sorry James wasn't able to comment on this chapter but he's out with Sean so :(

Review please?

Cheers,

Franshes
