I stood there in shock. James was saying my name repeatedly but I didn't answer him. I couldn't believe what was happening. I didn't want to believe it. I loved him and now it didn't matter. He had a girlfriend and now I could never have him. I couldn't process anything.

"Jamie are you ok?" James asked me with concern.

"Well…n…no. I…I'm still a little freaked about the Carlos thing." I stuttered. I hated when I did that. It made me feel vulnerable. I already was.

"Well I…" James started to say something but he didn't get it out.

"Carlos!" Fai ran and jumped into her boyfriend's arms.

"Oh hey Fai. Can I talk to you for a moment?" I asked Fai.

"Sure. We can go over to that bench over there." She pointed to a park bench that was about 20 feet away from us. We walk over to it and sit down.

"So what's up Jamie?" She looks at me with curiosity.

"Do you see that girl over there?" I point to the girl that was standing right next to James.

"Yeah. Who is she? I've never seen her before." Fai studied the girl.

"That's Aileen. She's James' new girlfriend." I manage to say and a look of understanding crosses Fai's face. She's the only one that knows I like James. She's the only one I can talk to about girl stuff considering she's my best girl friend.

"Oh. I see how you would feel about that. I'm so sorry Jamie. I know you love James." Fai grabbed me into a hug and I felt a little better. Not much. But at least it was something.

"It's ok. It was going to happen sometime. He was going to get a girlfriend at some point." I stated the obvious.

"I don't know what it is, but there's something about her. She doesn't seem like the rest of us. Maybe controlling. Look how she seems to tell James what she wants and if he doesn't do it she'll get mad or something." Fai looked at me and I turned my head and saw that she was right. She did look controlling.

"You may be onto something Fai." I smiled at her. At least it was a start.

"Everything will be fine Jamie. I promise." My best friend patted me on the shoulder.

"Yeah I know. Do you mind if I just sit here for a minute and think?" I asked her.

"No problem. Take all the time you need girl. I'm here for you." I sighed and watched the guys talk to each other. Logan and Kendall were both making out with their girlfriends. It was cute. I just wish I could be cute with James.

James' POV

My gaze went over to where Jamie and Fai were sitting. They were probably talking about something important. Jamie always talked to Fai when she was in distress. She can't talk to me, Kendall, Carlos, or Logan like she can Fai. We aren't girls. We don't know what to say about that kind of stuff. I just wished I knew what they were talking about. Jamie looked so beautiful sitting there talking to her best girl friend. I've liked her for a long time but I've never been able to tell her. It seemed as if she thought of us as just friends and I didn't want to make our friendship weird. I cared for her too much. So I just never told her. The only reason I was dating Aileen was because I knew I couldn't get Jamie for myself. She was just the girl I loved and our friendship got in the way of us being together.

"That sounds good don't you think?" Aileen asks me, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't hear you. What did you say?" I asked my girlfriend.

"James I asked if getting ice cream sounds good. Does it?" She looked a little mad that I hadn't heard her the first time.

"Oh…no. Sorry. I'm not hungry." The guys looked at me weird. I'm always hungry. I'm a guy. It happens.

"Hey guys. What's up?" Jamie asks as she moves her hair out of her face. The movement was so gorgeous. I loved it when she did that.

"Nothing really. We were just hanging." I looked at Jamie.

"James…" She said a little uncertain.

"What is it Jamie?" I asked her wondering what she could possibly be trying to say.

"Nevermind. It's not important. It was something stupid anyway." She said shyly.

"Ok." I said wondering what it was that wouldn't leave her lips.

Jamie's POV

I was freaking out. I can't believe I had almost told James I loved him. That would have gone against so many things. Like him having a girlfriend for one. Plus our friendship of course. I sighed.

"Hey Jamie. Can I talk to you for a minute?" Aileen asked me sweetly.

"Sure. That's fine with me." I wondered why she needed me. She grabbed my arm and led me to a nearby tree.

"This has to stop." She gave me a death stare.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I was confused.

"You may have James and the others fooled but not me. I know you like James and I just want to say that it needs to stop. He's mine and you will never have him. Stay away from him. I don't want you near him anymore. You're just an obstacle in my way." I looked at her with shock. She couldn't be serious. Except that she was.
