Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING
Song mentioned in this chapter is 'With you' by Chris Brown.
Carmen groaned from the small hospital cot. "This is all your fault Kendall." She turned over and covered her mouth, feeling a small wave of nausea wash over her again.
Kendall, who was leaning against the wall, looked at the tiny brunette in disbelief. "How is this my fault?" He asked.
Carmen just groaned again and clutched her bloated stomach. "Carlos this is all your fault." She continued to play the blame game.
"What's my fault?" Carlos asked as he entered the room with Lauren. He took a seat in the swirly doctors seat and rolled across the room over to Carmens side.
Lauren leaned on the wall next to Kendall. "Here's your coffee." She mumbled, handing him a cup. Kendall took a sip and spat it in the floor. "Ouch!"
"It's hot dumbass…" Lauren laughed as Kendall stuck out his scalded tongue.
Kendall turned towards the blonde. "Mow…nie nunge erts, thill-" He was cut off.
"Put your tongue back in your mouth, then talk." Lauren suggested as she bit into her grape popsicle.
Kendall put his tongue back in his mouth. "I said, will you kiss it better?" He asked with a cocky grin before puckering his lips up.
Lauren blushed.
She began leaning in, Kendalls eyes slid shut.
Lauren grinned and shoved her popsicle in his mouth. Kendalls eyes shot open as he gagged.
He yanked the popsicle from his mouth. "Did you have to shove it down my throat!" He exclaimed, coughing a bit.
Carlos laughed. "I took that the wrongest way possible." He said, causing Carmen to look at Kendall with wide horrified eyes before falling into a fit of pained laughter.
Kendall frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Lauren put a serious expression on and placed a hand on his shoulder. "It means James is the dominant one." She patted his shoulder and burst into laughter from the look on his face.
XOXOXOXO
Carlos watched as Kendall walked from the room frowning. Lauren raised a brow and stared after him with a look of disbelief.
She quickly followed him out the door.
"Kendall?...Kendall!...Don't ignore me when im talking to you!"
"Bitch!" Kendall exclaimed childishly.
"Hey! That just hurt my feelings asshole! Give me back my popsicle at least you big sour puss!"
There was a pause and then a soft thump sounded from down the hall.
"Ke- Dammit, you didn't have to throw it at me, I was going to eat that!"
"Waaaa-Waaaaa" Kendall continued to whine.
"Boy get your ass off of that elevator…Kendall!...Kendall!"
Laurens voice faded down the hallway.
"I wish they would stop playing around and kiss already, they would be so cute together!" Carmen gushed happily, slowly sitting up on the small cot.
Carlos nod. "Yeah, Kendall sure talks about her enough." He stood up from the chair and hopped up on the cot next to Carmen.
Carmen furrowed her brows thoughtfully. "Lauren likes him too ya know." She said, sounding kind of confused.
Carmens confusion confused Carlos.
"Really?"
Carmen nod.
"Really, even though she would deny it if you asked her, deep down…past all her external tom boy-ness, she has the biggest fangirl crush on him." Carmen confessed and laughed.
Carlos laughed with her. "Have you been reading Laurens diary again?"
Carmen blushed and shook her head sheepishly.
"Then how-"
Realization flooded on his face.
"The Big Book of Boy Rules." He guessed.
Carmen bit her lip and nod. "I've been thinking…" She trailed off.
"Annnd?" Carlos asked with a nod of his head, motioning for her to continue.
Carmen looked uncomfortable. "And…I was thinking about giving Kendall the book…" She mumbled quietly.
"What was that?" Carlos asked, leaning his head closer and cupping his ear to hear her.
Carmen sighed. "I said…I was thinking of giving the book to Kendall!" She yelled, Carlos fell off the cot from the loudness.
Carmen giggled.
He jumped back up and grabbed Carmens' hand eagerly, this was the plan!
"What are we waiting for Carmmy! We need to get those two together before they kill eachother! Come on! Come on! Come on!" Carlos said excitedly, pulling her up he began dragging her out the room and towards Grammy Rocque's house.
XOXOXOXOXO
"Kendall frikin Donald! Stop walking so effing fast, my feet are starting to burn back here! Helloooooo! You've been ignoring me for three straight blocks now, im sorry for saying James was the dominant one! I lied, James would totally be on bottom in your guys' non- existent relationship. With your eyebrows and his feminine ways, you wear the pants by a long shot! Kendall please stop walking and talk to me!" Lauren pleaded as she followed a few yards behind him as they walked through some random neighborhood.
Kendall continued to ignore her…
But not because he was mad at the agitated blonde, nope. This was all part of his, James, and Carlos' plan…operation 'Find-The-Book'… He knew that name sucked, but he was a hockey player! Not an operation namer.
XOXOXO (A few hours ago at the Diner) XOXOXO
"Does Jayde like sushi?" James asked casually after he took a bite from his pizza.
Jessie groaned quietly and dropped her fork. "No James, she doesn't." She said extremely pleasant. The smile on her face was down right horrifying it was so sugary sweet.
James' brows furrowed. "oh.." He mumbled, slouching down in his seat a bit.
"Does Jay-"
Jessie stood up and stomped out of the boot. "I have to go pee." She announced with a small scowl before walking away from the table.
Lauren shot a glare at James. "I should choke you James." She mumbled before getting up and following her sister.
James just raised a brow at the two before continuing his lunch.
Carlos' cup gave a loud slurp as he sucked all of his juice through the straw. Carmen started gathering cups and made her way to the refill machine.
Kendall watched as she walked around the corner before grabbing Carlos and James by their shoulders.
"Kendall! What are you doing man?" Carlos asked after his friend caused him to drop his corndog.
Kendall shushed him. "I have a plan." He hissed at his two friends.
James rubbed his hand together slowly. "Jessie is good and jealous, Kendall…this better work man, if I piss her off anymore she WILL shave my head. I don't know if you know, but I like having hair!" He exclaimed a little too loudly.
The old couple having lunch in the booth across from theirs looked at him with curious eyes.
James flushed and gave an awkward cough.
"Anyways…" He trailed off.
Kendall rolled his eyes before putting his game face back on. "Shush! Carlos, you challenge Carmen to a corndog eating contest until she explodes."
Carlos nod slowly with furrowed brows. "Why does she have to explode?" He asked curiously.
Kendall rolled his eyes yet again.
"Just make her eat the corndogs."
Carlos nod once and picked up the remainder of his corndog.
"And what do I do?" James asked.
"You just continue pissing Jessie off." Kendall decided.
James sighed doubtfully as Carlos spoke up.
"Wait, why are we trying to make Carmen explode again?"
"Because she's most likely to tell us where to find the book." James answered, he and Kendall had already had this talk this morning.
(Flashback within a flashback)
7:59 am
.
.
James and Kendall lay sleeping in their beds when the alarm clock blared.
"Hey! Little mama. Ooh, you're a stunner. Hot little figure, Yes you're a winner. And I'm so glad to be yours, You're a class all your own And.."
Kendall groaned and pulled a pillow over his head as James began singing along with the radio.
"Oh, little cutie When you talk to me, I swear the whole world stops. You're my sweetheart, and I'm so glad that you are mine, you are one of a kind and-"
His singing was cut short from one of Kendall's pillows finding its way across the room and into his face.
"Hey!" James shouted, lunging a random hockey puck at the cranky blonde.
Kendalls hand shot up and grabbed the puck out of mid-air.
"Damn…" James mumbled with a frown for missing.
James reached over and turned the volume on the clock down.
They sat in silence for a moment, the only sound in the room was the soft music and their huge yawns as they tried to fight the erg to go back to sleep.
James suddenly sat up and switched off the music.
"Okay this has got to stop." He stated and began pacing around the room.
Kendall pulled the covers from over his face and turned towards his agitated best friend. "What's gotta stop?" He asked as his eyes followed the brunettes pacing.
James did a bunch of exaggerated arm movements. "This thing with Jessie, and me being in the friend zone." He exclaimed.
Kendall snorted.
James shot a glare. "I don't know why you're laughing, Lauren has you in the friend zone too." He pointed out.
Kendall's amused smirk instantly vanished.
The silence returned as James continued pacing…
"I got it!" Kendall spoke up some five minutes later.
James stopped pacing and sat on the side of his bed, facing Kendall.
James raised a brow. "Well!"
Kendall sat up. "We get the book." He shrugged.
"And how do you suppose we do that, huh? You heard Carmen, only Jayde knows where to find this book. And it's at Grammy Rocque's house, the same Grammy Rocque that will be out of town for the next, uhh… I don't know…four weeks!" James finished his rant and flopped back into his pillows.
Kendall rolled his eyes. "Calm down James, anything is possible if you just put your mind to it."
James groaned and covered his face with his hands. "Please, no speeches. It's too early for speeches." He mumbled.
Kendall resisted the erg to roll his eyes again. "It's simple really James, we just have to…'
James reluctantly listened as Kendall continued to explain this master plan.
Today was going to be a long day…
.
.
(Back to first flash back)
James groaned and clutched his hair. "This plan of yours better work Kendall…" He stated and released his head.
Kendall raised a brow. "Since when did my plans ever not work?"
James just gave him a challenging look. "What about that time in fifth grade during the Valentine's exchange when you gave Hilary Nooks-"
Kendall cut him off. "That was one time!" He defended.
"Whose Hilary Nooks and what did Kendall do to her?" Lauren asked causally as she and Jessie popped back into the booth, catching the last part of the conversation.
For the rest of lunch Jessie was awkwardly quiet and avoided any conversation or eye contact with James as he continued to ramble on and ask questions about Jayde. Kendall kept staring at Lauren when she wasn't paying attention and Carlos had Carmen shoveling down corndogs one after another.
XOXOXOXOXOXO
"Kendall please!" Lauren huffed miserably.
And still the heffert continued to ignore her.
With an annoyed sigh Lauren broke into a run, with all the strength her five foot three inch frame could muster she rammed into him from behind. The duo crashed into a small mailbox before collapsing into the soft grass below. They laid there, Lauren awkwardly lying on top of Kendall as they tried to catch their breath.
"What the hell Laur!" Kendall gasped out, roughly shoving the blonde off of him.
Lauren let out a painful groan as her hip bone made contact with the gravel driveway. With a glare she lifted her foot and rammed her heel down into his shin, he let out a groan much like Laurens as he grabbed for his now bruising leg.
"Evil Sadistic woman…" he spat.
"Shut up, you know you like it when I beat you around like the bitch you are!" Lauren countered angrily as she clutched her scraped side.
Kendall and Lauren glared at eachother in silence, both struggling to keep a straight face.
Eight minutes later their stare down was interrupted.
"What in God's name have you little brats done to my mailbox!"
Kendall and Lauren whipped their heads around to see a pruney old man on a cane wobbling across the yard towards them.
The two turned towards the mailbox in question and broke into laughter. The once smooth metal now had the whole top half squished down inside of itself, the wooden post was almost snapped in half and only held together with a few splinters of wood.
Lauren clicked her tongue and shook her head disapprovingly.
"No more snack cakes for you Kendall."
Kendall snorted. "I can never get a snack cake when you're around." Lauren gasped and grabbed Kendall by the nose.
"Wha- Ouch!" Kendall whined as Lauren quickly stood up and brought him up along with her…by his nose.
Lauren pinched his pink nose harder. "What was that Kendork?" She asked sweetly, twisting her arm around she pulled Kendall into a headlock and still continued to grip his cherry red nose in a vice like grip between her thumb and index finger. He struggled underneath her grip, this made Laurens grips tighten and the uncomfortable-ness grow.
Kendall groaned. "Again, Evil sadistic women!" He exclaimed, his voice sounding funny and stuffy from having his nose pinched.
Lauren laughed at Kendalls struggles before she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.
"Get off of my lawn you damn delinquents!" The old man wheezed and hit Lauren with his cane again.
Forgetting about harassing Kendall, Lauren let him go so she could use her arms to protect herself from the old mans surprisingly painful cane blows.
Kendall laughed. "Instant karma!" He said, throwing his fist in the air.
"Kenda- ouch! Help m- ouch! Son of a- OUCH!" Lauren cursed under her breath and tried to get away as the man continued to scream and hit her in the legs and ribs with his cane.
"Why back in my day if I acted like the kids these days, my mama would have made me reach for my ankles and tan my hide so bad you wouldn't be able to sit for a week!"
He continued to scream about how kids these days needed more ass whoopins and less videogames as Lauren contemplated on whether to laugh or cry as she continued to get her ass whooped with a cane across his front lawn.
Kendall was leaning against the nearly broken mailbox with tears of laughter clouding his vision. The sight of big ol tough Lauren Rocque being smacked around by a little old man with a wooden stick was too much for him, if it didn't end soon he was sure he was going to piss all over himself. With a loud crack the rest of the mailbox collapsed under his weight, he and the top half of the post both went down.
The old man turned sharply and shot daggers at him. He stared up at the man sheepishly.
"….Whoopsy?"
"Run!" Lauren yelled and began making a quick dash to get out of swinging distance of the man. Kendall was quick to follow behind her as the old man began swinging his cane in his direction.
Lauren stopped and turned back towards the old man who stood there waving his cane angrily. "Sorry about your mailbox! Ill have my people call your people to send you a new one and a fruit basket!" Lauren promised loudly before she booted it down the road to catch up with Kendall.
