BrownEyedDreamr: Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it :)

"Gustavo, before you yell at us, we just want you to read it." I told him.

He opened his mouth to speak, but instead nodded and took the paper I handed him.

Hello to all Rushers and PopTiger readers! A lot has been said in the past couple of weeks, and I want to set the record straight. This is it. The whole story.

I met Kendall Knight after he, James, Logan, and Carlos basically ran over me at the airport. The guys were returning from tour, me from my trip to London. That was the first time I met him in person.

When Chordstruck and my friend Callie moved into the Palmwoods, we actually met the guys of BTR. Kendall and I had a rocky start, but we really do care for each other. A lot.

Some of that rocky start was due to my stubbornness. Jo Taylor was under the impression that after the boys returned home from tour, she and Kendall would get back together. Then I came into the picture. And I'm sorry, Jo. I really am.

All of these publicity stunts over the past couple of weeks have been trying to divert attention from the real story. And they worked. But I think I speak for all of us when I say we're tired. Just tired of hiding from the truth. So here it is.

Kendall and I are dating. We have been, throughout most of this. The "reunion" of Jendall was to divert attention from the article that I was using Kendall. I really wasn't. And I'm sure it's hard to believe. But trust me, there are not going to be anymore lies. This whole "cheating on Jo" business never happened. Again, it was created to draw attention. Jo just returned from a movie, BTR is recording their third album, and Chordstruck is just starting.

This whole affair is definitely not one single person's fault. We all played our part. And now we're ready to decline our roles.

Kendall and I are dating, and I hope that we can reconnect our friendship with Jo.

I'm sincerely sorry to all of you for all the lies. And I assure you, they won't come up again.

Thank you for understanding. Sending my love,

Mira Mitchell

"So?" I asked nervously. "How is it?"

"Well...you definitely set it straight. But what is this about the 'reunion' being created? And the cheating on Jo? Didn't she make that up?"

I nodded. "But I don't want any hard feelings. I just want to fix everything, once and for all."

Gustavo smiled. "Then I think we're good to go."

*2 HOURS LATER*

As we walked through the Palmwoods, I suddenly became nervous.

"Kendall?"

"Yeah, Mir?"

"I...I don't think I can face Jo and Camille."

"You can. I'll go with you."

"I-"

"Mira, it's going to be alright. Trust me. We'll fix everything and then submit the article tomorrow, ok?"

"Um...ok."

We took the elevator upstairs and knocked on 3C, Camille's apartment.

She opened the door. Jo stood behind her.

Kendall stepped forward. "Now, before anybody says anything, I just want you guys to read this. Please." He handed them what I wrote with Sonia's help.

I anxiously watched them scanning over the article. Jo's eyes widened in disbelief. "You...you didn't blame me?"

I stepped out from behind Kendall. "I honestly don't think it's all your fault. Ok, I was initially pissed off about the lies, but I didn't exactly help."

Camille suddenly looked up. "Mira, I am SO sorry for everything I said to you. Jo explained while you were out and I can't believe what's happened. And it was so nice of you not to blame-"

I reached forward and hugged her. "Thank you. Just for being there, and understanding now." She nodded. "Jo?" I turned to her. "Can we...can we start over? I really don't want there to be any problems between us. And I really am sorry if you feel like I took Kendall from you. I think we were both harsh but we should just accept that what's done is done and now we can fix it. Right?"

She smiled at me. A genuine smile. "That would actually be really great, Mira. Oh, and I wanted to let you guys know...I fired Claire. She um...she kinda had me do all of this."

"What?!" I shrieked.

"Yeah. And I'm so so so SO sorry. She said it would be better for me to get back with Kendall and that I should do it in any way possible. But I didn't feel right doing that, because I really liked you when I met you. But because the movie kind of flopped, she convinced me that I needed this."

"Wow. That's a lot to take in."

"I hope you can forgive me...and I really never meant any of the things I supposedly said. All of those articles submitted-yeah they were all her. But some of the things I said were inexcusable. And I think you are extremely talented. I hope you know that." She gave me a sad smile and stepped out of the door to go to her apartment, but I blocked her path.

"Jo, I do forgive you. For everything. I just can't believe Claire was so manipulative!"

She laughed. "I know! And her smile...god, it creeped me out."

"Same!"

"Why don't you guys come inside?" Camille ushered us into her apartment. Kendall nudged me forward.

"I'll see you later tonight," he told me.

I smiled. "Ok. Besides, Camille, Jo, and I have some catching up to do." They grinned back at me.

"Good. And when I come back, I don't wanna get any alerts about a new scandal ladies!"

I laughed and shoved him out the door. The three of us shouted, "Wouldn't dream of it!"

He stood frozen, mouth agape at our perfect imitation of him.

Camille closed the door and the three of us sat down on the couch. We started talking, and I finally felt at home.

Now I just have to tell Sonia to delete her manipulative bitch back-up rant.
