The ash brunette yawned as her eyes fluttered open. It took a moment for her clear contacts that covered her Hazel eyes to adjust to the light rays of the sun. She realized she was sitting up instead if laying down. Her face held confusion as she glanced around her. She saw Amber resting against the cushion of the circular bench that surrounded the pit fire, which had been put out. Elizabeth had her head in Amber's lap with her feet stretched out to the side. A blanket draped over her tan legs to keep them warm since she was wearing shorts. Her feet were in Michelle's lap. Madelyn blinked a few times to make sure she was seeing right. Michelle and Logan were leaning on each other, Logan's arm around the bleach blonde. Madelyn was about to get up, but someone stirred by her. Their arm around her waist, pulling her closer. That's when she realized her head was on someone's shoulder. She gazed up to find a bed head James; then down to the leather jacket resting on her legs. The previous night sinking back into her memory.

(((Flashback)))

Toxic Meltdown wasn't surprised at how good Big Time Rush sang. They defiantly did better then what they did at the carnival. Madelyn was pretty sure it was because of the song they sang. She knew James eyes were on her, sending her and the others a silent thank you. When the song ended, the Palm Woods broke out into cheers, except for Toxic Meltdown and Jo, who was glaring at Amber. Michelle, being the one with a short temper, stood up and calmly walked over to Jo.

"Would you please stop glaring at Amber?" she sad in a dangerously calm voice, but her eyes burned with fire.

"Why should I? She's the reason Kendall broke up with me! Plus you ARE NOT the boss of me!" Jo stood up as well.

"That is extremely immature. Only little kids say that. It's also immature of you to blame that on Amber. She does not control Kendall's actions. If she did, he NEVER would of even bothered to give you a second glance. He dumped you because you are a jealous, rude bi-"

"Michelle, that was uncalled for," Kendall cut her off, placing his hand on her shoulder.

Roughly shaking his arm of she said,"Would you rather I tell you about how big of a pig you are?" she turned to glare at him. Kendall sighed and focused his gaze at his feet. "That's what I thought," she rolled her eyes and walked past him.

"Kendall! You defended me!" Jo smiled at wrapped her arms around his neck.

Kendall grabbed both her arms, pulling them away from him. "Jo... I stopped her because that was anger directed towards me, not you."

"B-but, Kendall..."

"Sorry," he mumbled before walking away.

Amber had a huge smirk playing on her lips. Elizabeth had her arm around Michelle shoulder, smiling brightly. Then the small girl jumped up and down, "I got another idea!"

"What?" Madelyn asked for where she leaned against a tree.

"Okay. To make Kendall even more ticked off, you should go talk to James, but you don't have to be nice! All Kendall will see is that you are talking to him. He'll be way to mad to see if your face looks mad."

Madelyn sighed, "Do I have to?"

"Do you want Kendall to feel like you guys did?" Elizabeth said, meaning Amber and Madelyn.

"I guess."

"Great!" Elizabeth cheered.

Madelyn let out a huff and walked towards James, who was currently talking to a curly, bleach blonde girl. He was working his million dollar smile as his hand creeped near her knee. Madelyn bit down on her tongue as she tapped on his shoulder. James turned around with a huge smile on his face when he saw Madelyn, probably thinking that she was going to forgive him. The blonde girl gave Madelyn a go to hell look when she saw how big and genuinely real James smile was.

James glanced over his shoulder, "I'll see later Rebecca," he looked back at the girl in front of him, "Hey, Maddie-Boo." The blonde stared for a minute, and Madelyn waved at her with a smirk. Not that Madelyn would admit it, but she was thrilled to know she could still steal James away from any girl. The girl stomped away.

"Uh, hey. We need to talk."

"Sure!" James put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to him. "Most people left to go back to their apartments so the seats by the fire are empty. Want to talk there?"

Madelyn avoided his eyes, "Sure." James grinned and dragged her with him to the seat. He pulled her into his lap. For a moment Madelyn felt like they were back in Minnesota, having a date by the fire place at her dad's house or on the roof of her mom's house. Madelyn shook her head to get rid of the thoughts. She stood up out of his lap and sat down by him, leaving space between them. James sighed.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Why you're such a jerk," the Hazel eyed girl bluntly stated.

"I am not!"

"Okay. Then why did you dump me by bragging about your stupid L.A. girls?" she hissed, while looking over at Kendall. His face was turning from a light shade of red to an even darker shade with anger. Kendall growled loudly and stormed away, Carlos following to help cheer him up. Madelyn sighed and looked away.

"Maddie, I never meant for it to come out like that. You should know that. It was just easier to put it like that. You know that I loved you more than anything."

She thought for a second. He said loved not love. So she no longer has his heart? "You've always had a way with words when it comes to girl, but I'm sure they are always lies..." the brunette pulled her legs up to her chest.

"I speak nothing but the truth to you."

Madelyn laughed bitterly, "More lies."

"Look, just for tonight can we look past all of this? I really missed you Maddie," James put his arm around her waist and placed a kiss on top of her head.

"Whatever," she mumbled, eyes on Amber and Elizabeth, who were giving her encouraging smiled.

"None of that was a lie. I really do love you. I want to give us a second chance. I don't care how pissed Kendall will be at me."

Madelyn sighed. Nope, he said love. She still owns his heart. "No," her voice sounded completely emotionless. "You're going to get a taste of what it's like to be lonely. To hurt so freaking bad."

"Mad-"

"Stop. I'll sit here with you, but I'm not talking to you about any of this. If I was to be talking to anyone about anything, I would be chasing Kendall around to get the truth from him."

James sighed and laid his head on hers, "Okay…"

Madelyn looked over at Michelle, who was talking to Logan. She decided to use her lip reading skills to see what they were talking about.

"You know, Venus is the planet of love," Logan rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

Michelle smirked, "I don't believe in love. Its stupid and it only leads to pain. I've seen the out come."

"Oh…"

"I like Mars better, the planet of fire. Fire is beautiful."

Logan smiled, "You do have that fire in your blue eyes."

"I'll take that as a complement so thanks."

"So… Did you ever beat my score record back to school in Minnesota?"

"Pasted it along time ago."

Logan chuckled, "That's great."

Madelyn smiled as she watched the to talk and laughed. She could tell that Michelle liked him, but knew that the blonde would refuse to date him. This made Madelyn feel bad. She looked up at James. His eyes were closed.

"I guess you fell asleep," she sighed and leaned into him, "I really wish we could go back to the better days in Minnesota… Those were the best."

Unknown to her was that James was awake… wishing the same thing.

(((Flashback End)))

The small girl squeezed her way out of James grip and jumped up. Taking his jacket with her. She took one look around her. She took her phone out of her black pajama bottoms and sent Michelle, Amber, and Elizabeth a texts.

I'm going to head upstairs. See ya when you wake up.

She quietly made her way to the lobby. When she got through the doors, she took off running towards the stairs. She got to the second floor like a piece of cake, but when she was running down the hall, she ran into someone's hard chest, landing flat on her butt.

"Ughhh," Madelyn groaned rubbing her soar head.

"Sorry… Maddie?" Kendall raised an eyebrow.

"That's my name, don't wear it out."

"Why were you running like you were in a marathon?"

"No reason," she mumbled.

Kendall held his hand out, "Here."

"Thanks," she avoided his eyes as he pulled her up.

"Who's jacket?" Kendall squinted his eyes slightly as if that would help him see it. "Wait... James'?"

"Yeah..."

"We still need to talk, Maddie."

She winced, "J-just don't y-yell at me. I've had enough of that from you…"

He sighed, "My place or yours?"

"Mine. No one is there."

"Okay."

And with that, the two walked into 3J to have a long talk.

Ending it there:] Thanks for all the positive reviews! They're great! :D There's something I wanted to have a mini-rant about. Homophobia. There's this guy I use to like… He said something about this girl being bisexual on Facebook and it just really made me mad. Why is it that everyone goes crazy when they see two people of the same gender together? It makes me so mad. He's PROUD to be a freaking homophobic? Please just have respect. If you have nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all. Sorry. It's just that I have 5 bi friends and 2 gay… -sigh- Terrible mood…

Review please?
