James's POV
I sat outside on the doorstep next to Kendall for almost three and a half hours, watching the sun rise and just talking.
I was dying to get back to Piper. I could only imagine how worried she was.
Piper's POV
For what seemed like the first time in my life, I wasn't worried at all.
Carlos made the real world go away, his arms making me feel all safe and warm as he pulled me further into them.
The worst part was remembering that he was the only one who made me feel that way.
We talked for what seemed like forever, but at the same time, no time at all.
He made me laugh.
He made me cry.
He made me excited.
He made me proud.
He made me wish that he wasn't just my best friend.
Everything he said made me love him more.
Like a brother.
Mhmm.
That's what the butterflies meant.
It meant that he meant nothing to me.
Hey… No one ever accused me of being a good liar.
