A/N So I wasn't going to update today, but lucky for you, I am desperately trying to avoid writing 4 pages on Streptococcus pnuemoniae so you all get an update! P.S. thanks to everyone who reviews! I always read them and it makes me feel so great to know you all actually like my story. I hope you like the rest of this story and my next one, which I will start posting soon, hopefully by summer.
Chapter 20
"How come you haven't left the apartment all week?" Justine asked her sister.
"I've left, I been going to school all week!" June said. Justine gave her a look and June sighed. "I'm afraid to talk to James. I don't know what to say or do. I don't know if he's going to hate me-"
"He's not going to hate you, he just confessed his love for you, he doesn't hate you." Justine interrupted.
"I don't know what to do." June said. Justine walked over and gave her sister a hug.
"It's going to be okay." Justine said. "Just get out of the apartment, and get some air before your next class." June sighed and looked at her phone.
"Fine. I have an hour." June said. She changed out of her sweatpants and t-shirt into some shorts and a light blue button up. June walked out of the apartment and was going to head down the hall to the elevators, but a group of people were blocking her path.
"What are you doing?" June asked. The BTR boys, Kelly, and Gustavo looked at her. June's eyes widened. She was temped to turn around and run back to her room, but she stayed still.
"My mom's here and she wants to make me go back to Minnesota so I can eventually take over the makeup company." James said.
"Oh Brooke's here?" June said with a smile. Everyone except James gave her confused glances. "What?"
"You know James' mom?" Kendall asked.
"Yeah, I went to his house all the time in Minnesota. Brooke loves me." June said. They all looked at each other.
"Will you go in there and try to convince her to let James stay?" Logan asked. June looked at all the boys who had pleading looks. She looked at James who looked desperate. June sighed.
"I'll try." June said. Everyone cheered and James came over and hugged her. When they broke apart, James gave each June an awkward smile. June returned it and walked to the door and opened it. She saw Brooke at the table with Mama Knight and two other ladies. Brooke gasped.
"June?" Brooke asked. June smiled.
"Yes. I heard Brooke was in town and I had to say hi!" June said as she walked over. Brooke stood up and gave her a hug.
"Oh I missed you honey. When did you move out here?" Brooke asked. The day after your son and I broke up was what June wanted to say.
"A couple years ago with my sister, I don't know if you know Justine but she's a big star now." June said.
"Oh of course I know about her. We'll have to talk about doing a sponsorship with her and my make-up." Brooke said.
"Defiantly. We both use it, so I'm sure she would love to." June said.
"That's my girl." Brooke said and gave her a hug. June turned to the other people.
"Hi, I haven't introduced myself. I'm June Cooper, I'm friends with the boys." June said as stuck her hand out. The lady with black hair took her hand.
"Hi, I'm Mrs. Mitchell, Logan's mom." She said. June smiled and shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you, Logan's a great kid. All of the boys are." June said. She turned to the other lady. She looked Hispanic, must be Carlos' mom.
"Hello, I'm Mrs. Garcia, Carlos' mom." She said. June took her hand and shook it.
"He must have been a handful to raise, he's quite the ball of energy." June said. All the moms and June laughed. The boys took this as a sign to come in. They came in quietly and the moms and June hadn't noticed.
"So June, how do you know Brooke?" Mrs. Mitchell asked.
"Well I grew up with James in Minnesota. We were neighbors before he moved to Sheerwood and we dated for a couple years." June said. James ran up next to her and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"And now she's my girlfriend again." James said. "It's really great that we live next door again so we can go out ." June looked up at him in shock at he smiled down at her. She returned the smile.
"Yup. It's really great, we get to be together again." June said and wrapped her arm around his waist. Brooke smiled.
"Aw that's cute, too bad James has to come back to Minnesota." Brooke said.
"Actually, that's another reason I wanted to talk to you. Don't you think that James should stay so he can live his dream?" June asked.
"He's my boy and I want him with me." Brooke said.
"But I found a great property so that you can open a west coast office for you're company, guaranteeing that you get to visit at least once a month." Mrs. Mitchell said.
"And we set up a laptop so that you can video chat James from wherever you are, whenever you want." Mrs. Garcia said and opened up her laptop to show the software.
"And I will make sure that Gustavo will book more tour dates in Minnesota." Mama Knight said. Gustavo scoffed.
"I'm not having a bunch of moms tell me what to do." Gustavo said. All the moms gave him that "mom look" that scared you into doing anything they wanted. "Kelly, book more dates in Minnesota."
"I'm sorry mom, but I have to stay here so I can live my dream and be with my amazing girlfriend." James said. He turned to June and leaned down and kissed her. June was shocked for a few seconds, but then started to kiss back. She put her hands on his neck. She pulled away first so she wouldn't go too far after not having this much contant with him years. They stared at each other for a second and smiled. June turned to Brooke for a second and then back at James.
"He had to leave me once, please don't make him do it again." June said as she stroked James' cheek. He smiled.
"Oh fine. James can stay. I don't want to get in the way of true love." Brooke said. James let go of June and gave him mom a hug.
"Thank you." James whispered
"Just don't forget about me, and don't let June go." Brooke whispered back. James looked at June who was standing next to Logan with a big smile on her face.
"I won't." James said to his mom.
"Well I guess I have to leave now. I'll call you about the sponsorship June." Brooke said.
"I'll be waiting." June said back. Brooke left and the other moms sighed.
"I guess we should be leaving too." Mrs. Mitchell said.
"Yeah." Mrs. Garcia said. Carlos went up and gave his mom a kiss and hugged her. Logan stood still, June elbowed him.
"Go kiss your mom good bye, Logie Bear." June said. Logan gasped.
"Who told you about that?" Logan asked. June laughed and pushed Logan forward. He sighed and went forward and gave his mom a kiss on the cheek. The moms left and Mama Knight went to her room complaining about something. James turned to June.
"Thanks for pretending to be my girlfriend." James said. June looked down and picked at her hands.
"No problem." June said softly. She looked at her phone. "I have to go now. I have class. Bye guys." June said, just as quiet, if not quieter. She kept her head down and quickly ran out of the apartment. They all watched in confusion, except Kendall who just shook his head. Him being the romantic one, and knowing June pretty well, knew what was going on with June. But he didn't want to say anything to James.
June quickly got out of the room and she could feel tears, but she refused to let them fall. She ran to her room and, thankfully, Justine wasn't there. She grabbed her book bag and ran out of the room.
James was so confusing to June. Her life was great before he moved to L.A. and she was always sure of herself. Now add James in and everything was turned upside down and she had no idea what to think or do.
