A/N: Major Kendall and Jo feeling revealing! Please enjoy!
Jo POV
I walked to English with my books hugged tight to my chest. What just happened? I walked into class taking an empty seat in the back a few seats away from Camille. She sent me a questioning look, but I just kept my head down.
I then felt the air change, as I felt a presence next to me. It was Kendall.
I tried to wipe away my tears as best I could, I was not going to let him see me like this. Not for any certain reason. Just…..to let him know I'm not weak.
"Can I help you?" I asked not looking up from my work. He was silent. I rolled my eyes and continued my work, tears still falling every so often.
I then felt a tap on my shoulder, but I didn't respond. Then I felt a tap again. And again. And again.
"What!" I whisper-yelled. I immediately regretted it when I saw the look in his eyes. Guilt and sorrow. It made my heart drop. And I had no idea why.
My look then softened and I turned back to my work. "Hey Jo." I heard someone whisper, knowing who it was.
I sighed and looked up trying to hide the fact that I wasn't entirely fine. But my puffy eyes might've given me away.
"Yes?" I asked. He looked down nervously.
"Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset. It was the last thing I wanted to do." He pleaded. I scoffed. Yeah sure.
"Really." He said after, guessing what I was thinking. Creep.
I looked up into his eyes and felt my breath get hitched and my heartbeat quicken. What is this? From past experiences, it means I'm starting like a guy!
No! No. No. No. No. Yes. No. No. What? Ugh.
His eyes looked so…genuine. They were full of some sort of other emotion and life.
"I-it's fine." I stuttered as I turned away quickly, FINALLY noticing how close we were leaning in.
He smiled. "Great." Then turned to his own work. An hour passed by and I only got so much work done. I couldn't help it. It was impossible to concentrate with so many things running through my mind.
Could I really like Kendall? No. I mean I could. Why would I want to? Because I know he has a soft side, and has gorgeous eyes and a breathtaking smile…
"Jo. Jooooo. Jo!" I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard someone calling my name. I looked up to see Kendall snapping his fingers in front of my face.
"You were spaced out it's time to go." He said lamely.
"Oh, ok. Well yeah. I'll see you at my house after school." I replied. He just walked out of the classroom. Rude. Why did I think I liked him again?
The day went by in a giant blur. Kendall didn't bother me at all during trig. And in chorus the class discussed expectations for the project.
I was on my way home, when I had this creepy feeling someone was following me. I knew it wasn't Kendall because he got on the bus with the guys. And I was one of the only people that took this route.
I quickened my pace as the footsteps behind me got louder. I turned around and no one was there. I was about to walk past an alley when I was pushed into it.
"Hey!" I exclaimed as I opened my eyes. I almost felt my heart stop at who was there.
Jett.
My books drooped to the floor my mouth hanging open. No. I didn't want to see him. The no good dirty cheater!
"Jo….it's really you!" he said walking forward to give me a hug, but I just backed away. No, he had never physically hurt me. But emotionally….you have no idea. He was the last person I wanted to see right now.
He sighed. "Yeah ok. I understand. But, look. I came here to talk." He said sternly.
"I don't want to talk to you." I said viciously, then picking up my books.
He grabbed my arm and pushed me back a little. I could feel tears stinging the corners of my eyes. But I would not let them fall.
"Please?" he said tightening his grip.
"About what Jett? The fact that you cheated on me?" I exclaimed, the tears now falling down my face. My voice starting to falter.
"No. Us." He said taking my hands. "I miss us." He said smiling. Ha, like he could be genuine. I snatched my hand away.
"Jett. There isn't an us! I dumped your sorry butt, when I saw you making out with Mercedes Griffin in the gym!" I exclaimed.
He rubbed his neck nervously. "Yeah…that wasn't what it looked like." Wow, has he become an even bigger liar since I left? Yes.
I just shook my head in disgust, the tears streaming down my face. "Jett, when I said I never wanted to see you again, I meant it!" I scolded.
His face turned from nervous to furious. "There's someone else. Isn't there?" he yelled. I was taken aback by this. I hadn't really thought about my feelings for the guy I liked. My face faltered and Jett became angrier.
"Isn't there?" he demanded. Fresh tears falling. My face and tone hardened.
"Yes! Ok? Yes, there is someone else! I met him when I moved here. He may be slightly confusing, but he's a hell of a lot better guy then you are!" I snapped. My breath coming out heavy. So, I really do have feelings for him.
This news only made him angrier.
"You little-" I heard, and then my head hit something hard. I let out a scream.
Everything went black.
Kendall POV
I was walking to Jo's house to work on our project. I had a few ideas we could do for our duet. I had to admit….her voice really is amazing….
Stop it Kendall! You do not have feelings for her! I've been trying to decide for the past few days what these feelings are I have for her.
I mean she's stubborn and annoying, but really smart and has the voice of an angel…
Wow. Where did that come from? I shook my head and kept walking until I heard a pair of angry voices from around the corner. From the sound of it, neither of them were too happy. I quickly walked around the corner to see what was going on.
I turned the corner but quickly hid behind the wall, since I was about to walk in on the argument. I looked closer to see the two people arguing.
It was…Jo!
She was crying, and sounded really upset. I felt myself getting angry as I watched them. I don'y know why. What kind of dude would make a girl cry?
I felt my heart drop….me. I remembered when I confronted her about the picture and she got really upset. But hey. That was unintentional.
I couldn't see the guys face. Just the back of him.
I strained my ears to listen in on their conversation.
"About what Jett? The fact that you cheated on me?" I heard a higher voice say. Though her voice was clearly faltering.
Then the realization hit. She was talking to her ex-boyfriend. He cheated on her? What a jerk!
"No. Us. I miss you." I heard the other voice say, that I assumed was Jett. Ha. That jerk thinks he could get her back. Not in this lifetime.
Wait why would I care about her love life? I debated.
"Jett, when I said I never wanted to see you again, I meant it!" I heard Jo yell after a minute. Wow. This guy really can't take a hint. Why can't he just leave her alone? Should I do something? The I heard something that really caught my attention.
"There's someone else. Isn't there?" Jett yelled at her causing her to go silent. My head snapped up at this. Listening very intently. There was a silence for a moment. I was getting anxious. But why?
"Isn't there?" I heard Jett repeat even angrier. Finally with a string tone but fresh tears, Jo replied.
"Yes! Ok? Yes, there is someone else! I met him when I moved here. He may be slightly confusing, but he's a hell of a lot better guy then you are!" I heard her snap. Those words made my breath get caught in my throat. She's into someone here? Is it me?
Then…..I heard an ear splitting scream.
I looked up to see Jett had shoved Jo, a little too hard against the wall. Her head hit it with a sickening thud, and passed out.
That's it. Something boiled inside me. Nothing mattered. Jo just wasn't the annoying stubborn new girl anymore. She was now the hurt, harassed girl that I liked.
"Hey!" I shouted at Jett.
He turned and stopped the couple of kicks laid to Jo's side. Good thing I was there. He would've done much worse.
"What do you want?" he asked scowling.
"For you to leave her alone." I said my glare and voice hard.
He laughed and smirked at me before speaking in a hard tone. "Look. She's my girlfriend, and I can do what I want. This doesn't concern you." He said turning away walking towards Jo.
I felt something burst in me I ran forward turned him around and punched him straight in the face, knocking him out.
I stood there for a few minutes regaining my composure before noticing the frail Jo in the corner. I quickly ran over to her and checked her for any injuries. She looked pretty much fine. No bleeding from the head. Just a couple small bruises on her side. It still made me furious.
I threw her book bag over my shoulder and picked her up in my arms. I looked down at her face. She looked so frail and innocent here.
I glared down at the Jett below me. He'd wake up soon. But Jo wasn't going to be around when he did. I then began walking towards her house, using the address she gave me in English.
With one hand I searched through her bag with a free hand to find a key before opening the door.
Luckily her mom wasn't home.
I then walked up the stairs and into what I assumed was her bedroom.
It was a modern room. Dark blue with white accents. Pictures of friends and family everywhere. A white desk with a lamp, organized papers, and a laptop by the door. Straight ahead was a queen sized bed with black and blue sheets.
I carefully laid her down on her bed, and set her bag aside on the window bench. I went downstairs and returned with an icepack. Hey, stuff was easy to find in her house. I set it on her head then sat down on the window bench. Deep in thought.
So who was this guy she likes was it me? Do I like her. I was awakened from my thought by Jo moving and murmuring something. I moved closer so I could hear and/or help her.
"It's….Kendall." I heard her sigh.
Did I hear her right? I wondered what she was talking about.
"No…..Jett…I love…..Kendall." I made out. At that moment I felt my heartbeat quicken.
Did….did she say….she loved me? I had to sit myself down to think about this.
Jo Taylor….the annoying stubborn, new girl, whom I hated...sort of...…loves me.
I smiled.
Am I really in love with her too?
Yes. I'm in love with Jo Taylor
