Ch. 29: Big Time Confrontations

James' eyes widened.

"You know?" he exclaimed.

Kendall sighed but nodded.

"Carlos and Logan," James muttered angrily but Kendall interrupted him.

"No," he said "Okay, so they did tell me but…I didn't believe them until-I saw you myself…"

"What?" James asked disconcerted.

Kendall sighed again before replying bitterly to James.

"I can't believe you came out to your mom and you told her that Sean was your boyfriend…" he said.

James gasped.

"How can you…?" he asked him.

Kendall sighed before telling James how Carlos and Logan had warned him and how he'd refused to believe them but had been left with doubts and so he'd gone to see James at his house and had found out from his mom about his "boyfriend" Sean; how he'd gone over to Sean's to demand an explanation from both of them and how he'd overheard James and Sean…about everything, even breaking up with Kendall.

By the end of it, James' eyes were wide in shock.

"Kendall," he whispered "Oh my God, I'm so, so sorry,"

"That's okay," Kendall said, turning away from James' embrace.

"You're not okay," James observed.

"You don't say?" Kendall asked sarcastically, still not looking at his boyfriend.

"Kendall," James said "Kendall, talk to me,"

"I am talking to you" Kendall said stubbornly.

"Kendall…" James begged.

"What were you thinking James?" Kendall asked, angrily, letting all his frustrations finally come out, angry tears which he wiped away furiously pooling in his eyes "I never thought you'd do something like that…"

"I know but-" James tried to explain but Kendall waved off his explanation by adding softly.

"I never thought you'd cheat on me," he said.

"I'm sorry," James said, eyes watering "I really am…"

"Why?" Kendall asked him softly "How did this happen James?"

"It-it happened-at Sean's party…" James admitted finally.

"Three weeks!" Kendall exclaimed "You've been cheating on me for three weeks and we've been going out for two months!"

"Kendall, I'm sorry," James repeated again.

"What else have you kept from me?" Kendall asked, still avoiding James' gaze.

James sighed before he began telling Kendall everything.

EVERYTHING.

Leaving no details behind, and by the end of his tale, both teens had tears in their eyes, Kendall no longer doing anything about it.

"I'm sorry," James whispered for the millionth time "I really am sorry,"

"How could you doubt that I loved you?" Kendall asked "I mean, sure, I'd never said it, because I wasn't comfortable with admitting it out loud- but didn't I show it to you? Didn't I do everything I could to please you? I don't get it…wasn't I good enough? Was I such a terrible boyfriend?"

"You were the best," James croaked "You are the best…Kendall; we're not over- are we?"

Kendall sighed.

"We're not," he said finally "I won't break up with you James,"

James sighed relieved.

"But I also won't be second best," Kendall added "Whatever you've been doing with Sean, James, needs to stop 'cause he's planning on following you all the way over to L.A, you can't do that to him, it's not fair, and it isn't fair to me either to have you living so near a guy who's trying to steal you away from me…who almost succeeded in taking you away from me…"

"I'm-" James began but Kendall cut across him.

"If you say you're sorry one more time, I swear I'll get up and leave…" he said.

James sighed.

"Okay," he said "I'll stop apologizing,"

"Besides," Kendall said with a sigh "You aren't really sorry at all…"

"I am!" James exclaimed.

"You're not," Kendall said "You would've continued doing it if I hadn't confronted you today…"

"Not after you told me you loved me," James said, then added fearfully "Did you just say it to keep me from leaving you or did you really mean it?"

Kendall sighed.

"I mean it," he said "I'm sorry it took me so long to realize it James, I could've just avoided all this mess if I'd-realized it sooner but….it took almost losing you to realize just how unwilling I am to ever let you go…that it would kill me to see you with another man…that I love you and want you for myself only…"

James gasped and let several tears cascade down his cheeks before he pulled Kendall up to him, straddling him, showering him with kisses.

"God Kendall, I love you," he said in between kisses.

Kendall moaned into the kisses before managing to whisper out

"I love you too James,"

James felt his heart dance and do back flips every time Kendall repeated his words.

Kendall meanwhile, marveled at the passion James' kisses now had, yet at the same time, it all felt so wrong. He realized with a pang of guilt that he hadn't forgiven James, at least not completely. Briefly, he wondered how this would affect their relationship.

However, he quickly discarded the thought as James began rolling his hips into his; making him moan but he quickly stopped it.

"What's wrong?"James asked.

"I'm still sore," Kendall whined "I can't have you in me again so soon…"

"Sorry babe, I forgot, this is the first time you've bottomed after all…" James said with an apologetic smile "Thanks for that by the way,"

"My pleasure," Kendall replied before chuckling "Quite literally speaking…"

James laughed alongside Kendall at that.

"Want to get dressed then?" James asked "So I can make a nice dinner for both of us?"

"Making banana pancakes Jamie?" Kendall asked cutely.

James laughed before ruffling his blonde beauty's hair.

"Sure, why not?" he said "Just let me get dressed first and I'll go make them, besides, I owe you- big time,"

"You do," Kendall agreed "Just break things up with Sean, James, though and I'll consider it enough…"

"God, you're amazing, have I told you that?" James asked, staring at his boyfriend lovingly.

"You have but I still like to hear it," Kendall said.

"You're amazing," James said once more, making Kendall smile before he pulled his boyfriend in for another kiss…

The next day...

Kendall sighed as he, Carlos, and Logan hid behind plants in the restaurant where James and Sean were going to be meeting

James fidgeted with his napkin in the table, nervous over what he was about to do, conscious about the fact that his boyfriend and two best friends were watching his every move.

Sean finally came in, gave James a warm smile then leaned down and captured James' lips in a sweet kiss.

Kendall, behind the plant, glowered at Sean and made a gagging noise at the back of his throat.

"Hello Jamie," Sean said, ruffling James' hair "How have you been? How have things been with your mom?"

"Better," James said with a shrug "Her shock's beginning to wear off I guess, she's willing to accept me for who I am,"

"That's good," Sean said smiling at James.

James sighed, unable to return Sean's smile.

"Sean," he said "We have to talk…"

"What's up James?" Sean asked before adding jokingly "Why so serious Jamie? You aren't going straight on me are you?"

"No," James said "But we can't continue being together either Sean,"

"What! Why?" Sean exclaimed, not having expected James' answer.

James sighed.

"Look Sean," he began slowly "I won't lie to you, what we've been doing- it's been awesome okay? But, I just don't feel…what I mean is that-I think we work better as friends, rather than a couple. I-I like you Sean, but, I like you more like a friend than something more…"

Sean's eyes narrowed in hurt and anger.

"And you realized this when?" he asked "'Cause you sure as hell haven't thought like that for the past three and a half weeks James! Is this about the moving thing again? I told you, I don't care what my parents think, I'm moving to L.A with you!"

"No Sean," James said "It isn't about that…I'm not worried about a long-distance relationship, I'm worried because, whatever you feel for me, I don't feel the same about you. There, I said it. I'm sorry Sean, you're an amazing friend but the fact remains that…I-I love Kendall, okay? And I can't keep on hurting him like this…"

"But he doesn't know about us!" Sean exclaimed.

"Still!" James replied "Think he won't notice anything when you follow me over to L.A? Huh?"

"Well, weren't you going to break things up with him then?" Sean demanded.

James sighed.

"I can't, Sean, I can't," he said "I love him…"

"But he doesn't love you!" Sean exploded "Remember? That's what started all this in the first place! Jerk didn't even know what the hell he felt for you! He was using you James! He IS using you and you're letting him do that-!"

"I'm not!" Kendall exclaimed indignantly and coming out of his hiding place, ignoring the warning looks he'd gotten from both Carlos and Logan.

"Knight?" Sean asked "What- how- what are you doing here? How did you even know-?"

"I just do, actually, I caught you guys but, that's not the point," said Kendall furiously, "The point is that you were supposed to be my friend, Sean, what are you doing now, trying to steal my boyfriend behind my back?"

"He was mine long before you even realized he was there," Sean said possessively.

"And he's mine now, and you're trying to take him away from me!" Kendall argued back.

"You don't even love him," Sean sneered.

"Says who?" Kendall challenged "You don't know how I feel jerk, nobody can know that except me…"

"Is this why you wanted to leave me Jamie?" Sean asked his tone gentler now "'Cause Knight found out and, being the big bully that he is and the selfish bastard he's always been he's forcing you to leave me? I can protect you, you know? Knight doesn't scare me…"

"That's 'cause you haven't seen my bad side yet, Dekker, but keep it up and I won't take long to scare you shitless!" Kendall threatened, glowering at Sean.

"He isn't forcing me to leave you Sean," James said quietly, taking Kendall's hand for the blonde seemed about to punch the living daylights out of Sean. Under his boyfriend's touch, Kendall took a few calming breaths and relaxed his fists.

"Then why-?" Sean asked quietly.

"Because I'm not the same guy you fell in love with a couple of years ago, Sean, and you aren't the same either. I love Kendall now, and I'll always love him above all else. He complements me, he understands me and he's like me in so many ways, not just one. We get along just fine and, asides from some slight insecurities on his part because he's not used to letting others see his emotions, he's been a great boyfriend and an amazing friend before that. I can't lose him Sean, and I won't lose him. I'm sorry Sean but we're over…" James said.

"Couldn't have said it better myself," Kendall said arms crossed and eyes narrowed at Sean who then lost it.

"You shut up Knight!" he yelled angrily, launching himself over Kendall, punching and kicking at him,

"No Sean, stop! Stop!" James screamed, trying to stop the two guys who were now rolling on the ground, Kendall hitting and punching Sean right back.

Carlos and Logan rushed out of their hiding place and helped James separate the fighting pair.

"Whoa, whoa, easy now, easy…" James said as he hugged Kendall tightly while Carlos and Logan held back a struggling Sean.

Sean had a nasty black eye and a bleeding lip from Kendall's punches, while Kendall was unharmed though his hair was messed up and he was breathless from a kick in the gut he'd received from Sean.

"Loser," Sean spat at Kendall.

"Idiot" Kendall snapped back.

"Guys, enough!" James snapped.

Sean glared at James.

"Go ahead James, protect your little boyfriend, he's such a delicate flower, you don't want him to break do you?"

"Son of a bitch, I can take care of myself on my own, let me go James!" Kendall said, struggling to get out of James' hold "I'll beat the crap out of him so he'll learn to shut his fucking mouth up!"

Sean's eyes narrowed even further as he watched James maintain a strong hold on Kendall, not allowing him to get closer to Sean.

"Oh that's right Jamie, go right on ahead, dump me for this-this trash…but don't come crying to me when he breaks your pretty little heart again…" he said.

"As if!" Kendall said indignantly.

"You've done it before," said Sean with a mean smirk "Who're you to say you won't do it again?"

"James, I love you," Kendall said fiercely, not struggling to reach Sean anymore and instead grabbing James' hand and pulling him in for a rough kiss.

James moaned into the kiss as he let Kendall's tongue massage his own, all of the blonde's anger making the kiss more passionate, while Sean gagged, still restrained by Carlos and Logan.

"Sean," James said, pulling away from the kiss and earning a cute pout from Kendall "I mean it, man, I'm sorry, but my place is with Kendall…you're an amazing guy Sean, you'll find someone eventually…"

"Whatever," Sean said, rolling his eyes "And whomever I find will surely be a hundred times better than any of you fags!"

James' eyes widened, a pool of hurt visible on his face.

Kendall, who noticed James' hurt expression glared at Sean.

"Like you're any better," he scoffed "You aren't even man enough to accept defeat and allow others to be happy, if there's any fag in here it's you…"

Sean did not even turn to acknowledge Kendall's response and instead continued walking away from the four of them.

"Wow, he really DID mean to turn this into a fight," Carlos commented after he'd gone.

"It's my fault," James mumbled miserably "We all used to be such good friends and I screwed it all up…"

"Friendships break up all the time James," Kendall said indifferently "We're lucky it hasn't happened to us yet, and if that douche bag is too much of a jerk to know what a privilege being your friend is, then he doesn't deserve you feeling sorry over him,"

"You're just saying it because you hate him but I didn't," James said.

"Trust me James, I know you didn't hate him alright," Kendall muttered.

James' eyes widened.

"Not this again," he said "I thought you'd agreed you'd let it go if I broke things off with him,"

"I said I wouldn't break up with you if you broke things up with him, I never promised to forgive you," Kendall said coolly "Sorry James but I gave you everything, and what you did-I'm sorry but it'll take a long time before things start to pick up for us again…"

"You said you loved me," James said, tears threatening to fall now.

"And I do," Kendall replied, his gaze softening at James' heartbroken expression "I do Jamie, I love you, just don't push things right now okay? We'll get past this; we'll get past this…"

Logan and Carlos both patted James on his shoulders sympathetically before Kendall moved up to take James' hand which the brunette gave him and let his boyfriend lead the way out of the restaurant where, unfortunately, they'd drawn a bit of attention to themselves due to the whole scene between Kendall and Sean.

James just hoped the news wouldn't reach Gustavo and that he and Kendall would get better soon…
