Chapter 11

They guys sulked around their room, packing their items. They heard a knock on the door. Kendall answered it.

"Hey guys." June said as she walked in. She looked around at all the boxes. Confusion grew on her face. "What's going on?" She asked. The boys looked down.

"We did our practice concert and Griffin said that we were out and going back to Minnesota." Logan said. June gasped.

"What? That's not fair." June said. They were leaving. Her boys were leaving. James was leaving. She may never see them again, unless she went home or on tour with Justine. She may never see James again, and as much as she didn't want to admit it, she loved him and was going to miss him a lot, more than the rest. Last time she left him, she practically hated him. Now they were on good terms, and may not be dating, but she loved him. June looked around, unsure of what to say. James walked out of the bathroom with his hair stuff. He looked at June.

"Hey June, can we talk?" James asked. June nodded. James put his stuff down and took her hand and lead her to his room that was shared with Carlos. He closed the door behind him.

"So you guys are really leaving?" June asked as she looked around the empty room.

"Yeah, I hope I get another chance to come back." James said. June turned to him.

"Me too." June said. She smiled and he smiled back.

"June. I know I've told you this, but I really do love you. I still do and I always have. Before I leave, I want you to know that I love you, June." James said. He stepped forward and took both of June's hands. June looked down and intertwined their fingers.

"I love you too James. Always have." June said when she looked back up at his eyes. He smiled. She removed her hands and put them on his cheeks. She pulled James closer until their lips met. James stepped closer and wrapped his arms around her waist. June moved her hands down off his cheeks and rested them on his chest. They broke away when the need for air became necessary. They leaned their foreheads against each other, breathing deeply.

"I've missed that." James said. June smiled.

"So have I." June moved her hands to around James' torso and buried her head in his neck. James's grip around her tightened and he buried his head in her hair. They stood like that for who knows how long.

There was a knock on the door, but they ignored it. The door opened. Carlos, Kendall, and Logan walked in. They stood there, shocked at the sight. Kendall knew that June still liked James, but none of them thought that they would ever be hugging or ever as close as they were right now. Carlos coughed.

"James we need to go, the flight leaves soon." Carlos said. June and James slowly broke apart. She had tears in her eyes and a couple spilled over. James held the sides of her face and wiped away the tears. He pulled her face up to his in a quick, sweet kiss. Logan, Carlos, and Kendall's jaws dropped. They never thought they would see that.

James and June broke apart. June walked away from James, missing his body next to hers. She walked over to Carlos.

"I'm going to miss you boys so much." June said. She hugged Carlos tight. She backed up and kissed his cheek. She moved onto Logan and did the same. She moved to Kendall and held him tighter than the other two.

"I knew you liked him." Kendall said in her ear. She broke apart and hit his arm. He tapped his cheek and she rolled her eyes and gave him a kiss on his cheek. She turned to James. She walked back over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug. He held her tight and rubbed her back. She leaned back and then kissed him.

"I love you James." June said when they broke apart.

"I love you June." James said. The hugged one last time and they walked down to the lobby where they met Camille and Jo, who hugged Logan and Kendall.

"Goodbye." June said to James. He kissed her one last time and all the guys got in a limo and left. June sighed and turned back to Jo and Camille who were staring at her, mouths dropped.

"What?" June asked.

"You and James." Jo said. "When did that happen?"

"Like an hour ago? He's leaving and I may never see him again for more than like a night. I told him how I really feel." June said.

"Which is?" Camille asked.

"I love him." June said. Looking at the spot where he last was. She could feel the tears. She wiped them away and turned back to the other girls, who had tears in their eyes. She opened her eyes and the girls hugged each other.

Break

3 Days Later

Kendall, Logan, and Carlos walked into the Palmwoods. They scoped out the lobby in search of the girls. June, Jo, and Camille were just about to head out to go shopping to get their minds off the guys being gone. They gasped when they saw three of the boys. June was a tad disappointed when she didn't see James.

"Jo!" Kendall said and ran forward and gave her a hug.

"Camille!" Logan said and he gave her a hug.

"June!" Carlos said and hugged June. She smiled and hugged him. "Hey guys, now were back, we need to get me a girlfriend." Carlos said.

"What am I not good enough?" June said with fake anger.

"Well we're not dating and you're with James." Carlos said. June was about to object when Camille spoke up.

"Wait, you guys are back? For good?" Camille asked.

"Well kinda, we have to do the concert and then if we get a sponsor we can go on tour and stay!" Kendall said.

"So the concert is back on?" Jo asked.

"Yes, If we can find James. Do you know where he is?" Kendall asked. All the girls looked confused.

"He's staying in your old room." Camille said. The boys and June looked at her in shock. June didn't know he was back. June looked at the boys who were all confused as well.

"He's here? How did I not know this?" June asked the girls. They shrugged.

"You were at school I think, he's been here 2 days." Jo said. June turned to the boys.

"Let's go see him." June said. The boys nodded and they headed up to the room. They knocked on the door and an old man showed up.

"Uh can we talk to James?" June asked. The old man opened the door wider and the whole place was decorated way different than before. More modern. They looked around and James walked down the large spiral staircase.

"Hey guys!" He said excitedly, and then coughed. "I mean. Hey." Kendall, June, Carlos and Logan looked at each other.

"Uh we came to find you to get you to come back to the band! We're going to get the band back together and have our concert, so let's go." Kendall said. James stopped.

"No. Hawk is going to make me a solo act." James said. The boys and June's jaws dropped.

"But you made a promise to us that you would stick with us guys, back in hockey when we first met, that we would be friends forever." Carlos said. James scoffed.

"And you've never broken a promise?" James asked. The three boys looked at each other.

"Mowing the lawn!" They all said in unison. "We might be terrible people." Logan said.

"You told me to move on, so I did. Sebastian. Show them to the door. Except June." Sebastian threw a hot towel at the three guys and they ran out the door. June watched them leave and turned back to James who was walking over to her.

"Hey June." He said happily, he leaned into give her a kiss and moved his hands to her hips. She put her hand up and moved out of the way. He looked at her confused.

"What?" He asked confused.

"What the hell are you doing?" June asked angrily. James looked even more confused.

"Kissing you? I love you, you love me, that's how it goes." James questioned, saying it like it was obvious.

"No. James, that's where you're wrong. I love the James from Minnesota that I grew up with. I love the James that was around a week ago who loved me and didn't want to leave me. Not the James that is standing in front of me who turns his back on his best friends. Not the James that has been here 2 days and never bothered to come by. Not the James that flirts and cheats. I love you James, but I love the real James." June said furiously, becoming gentler at the end. He looked at her.

"This is the real James." He said. June just shook her head.

"So you bale on you're friends and leave them behind when you get a better offer?" June asked.

"They baled on me first!" James exclaimed. June rolled her eyes.

"But they came back." June said. "What about me? Why didn't you come see me when you came back a couple days ago?"

"I'm talking to you now." James said. June crossed her arms.

"Well if that's so, then I guess I don't love you James. Sorry to waste your time." June said. She turned around to leave, but James grabbed her wrist.

"June don't do this. Why are you siding with them? You've known me forever." James asked.

"I'm not siding with anyone James. I'm just telling you how I feel. I don't like the person that you are now." June said. She shook her wrist free and walked to the door.

"Wait June-" She cut James off.

"I have to go. I have a date with Dak to get ready for. Have fun living your dream alone." June said. She opened the door and turned back. "Goodbye." and then she left.

James sighed as he watched her leave. She walked out of his life for the second time now. Maybe she didn't love him. Or maybe he needed to re-evaluate himself. James looked in the mirror and sighed. His phone rang with a text. He looked down. Hawk wanted him at the studio. He called Sebastian over to take him over there.
