Kendall's POV
I would've been right behind her if Carlos and Logan hadn't stopped me, insisting on an explanation. The worst part was, she and James had slipped out of sight.
I couldn't be sure if they went inside, but I figured Piper'd want to get her stuff before she left…
I figured wrong. It was all there, every single bag of it. Her bathing suit was on the bathroom floor, the clothes she changed into after the club vanished.
I ran to the window, looking out into the driveway. James's car was long gone.
I cried.
James's POV
"So, Piper. Was that a good enough plan for you?"
She smiled cutely, no longer upset.
"It was great. Now shut up before we get caught."
"How could we get caught?" I looked behind me. "Nope. No sign of Kendall or anyone else trailing us in their cars. The road looks pretty empty to me." I smiled at my own joke.
"You know it was really mean of you to let him think we drove off."
"Mean of me? I just saved your butt. Plus, you're doing it, too…"
As she was about to reply, we heard someone crying softly… More specifically, Kendall crying softly.
I slapped a hand over Piper's mouth before she could say anything. We waited in silence for a while before we heard him go back downstairs.
"God, I feel guilty" she whispered.
I slid out from under my bed, tiptoeing to the door. I opened it a crack to make sure no one was there.
"What do you need for tonight?"
"Just something to sleep in" she replied after some thought.
"Be right back."
I snuck into the guest room where Piper's stuff was, carefully digging through a few bags until I found something for her to wear. I carefully made my way back to my room, clothes in hand. I stuck them into my pillow before I crawled back under the bed with the girl I was dying to call my girlfriend.
We sat there talking for about an hour, with the two of us checking my watch frequently. As soon as the hour hand hit 4, I peeked out from under the bed. Once I knew the coast was clear, I whispered more to myself than to Piper:
"I'll be back in no time."
