James's POV
I slipped down the trellis as quickly as I could. Hmm. I guess Romeo and Juliet did have it pretty bad.
I sprinted to my car, trying to stay behind assorted shrubbery. Assorted freakin' shrubbery. Kendall was afraid that I would screw up Piper…. If only he knew how much she had already changed me.
I jumped the neighbor's fence, reaching for my keys.
My keys…
My keys.
Aw crap.
I bolted back to the house, oblivious to everything around me. Piper made me promise every few minutes for the past hour that I'd be careful, that I wouldn't get hurt. I felt almost guilty when I realized it.
I lied.
Kendall's POV
I couldn't decide if I felt more disappointed in myself or James.
I was gonna kick his ass when he got home.
I was slumped against the front door for what seemed like forever. I couldn't imagine Piper letting James take her back to her mom. I knew for a fact that she didn't go to my parents'; my mom would have called me to overreact by now.
As I sat there wondering where in the world she could've gone at 4 am, I saw it.
It wasn't uncommon for fans to track us down, running into our yard to see if we were there, but it was uncommon for those fans to be guys.
Guys jumping the fence from our neighbor's yard.
Guys jumping the fence from our neighbor's yard with a lot of hair.
Guys jumping the fence from our neighbor's yard with a lot of hair, who just so happened to be wearing James's lucky shirt.
Guys jumping the fence from our neighbor's yard with a lot of hair, who just so happened to be wearing James's lucky shirt and were about to get pounded by me.
