Chapter 24
"So everybody get up, up, out of your seats. Kick off your shoes and get down to the beach. Jump up, up, up on the beat singing "aye oh, aye oh, aye oh." Up, up out of your seats. Be who you are love is all you need. I love us geeks freaks and wannabes singing "aye oh" If I ruled the world." June sang to herself as she made a Nutella sandwich. She wanted to have a little snack before she went to bed. It was almost 11 o'clock.
June was almost done with her internship. 2 weeks left. She called James everyday. She was learning a lot and she was really happy to have the opportunity. She loved going to work and it was something she would be happy doing the rest of her life. The only downside, her roommates.
Molly, Diana, and Ann were still mean to her for whatever reason. June didn't know why, but it was starting to get to her. She was fine with them not being her friend though. She didn't want them to know about her sister, or her boyfriend, or her friends.
She was wearing James' sweatpants and an old t-shirt. She sat down in the chair and Molly, Diana, and Ann were sitting on the couch. June grabbed the remote and started to flip through the channels on the T.V.
"Wait stop!" Ann said. June stopped and her jaw dropped.
"Earlier today, over in Los Angeles, upcoming boy band Big Time Rush had blocked traffic with their bus, and started to play a song. No charges were pressed because everyone had a good time." The newscaster said. Then it switched to footage of the 4 boys on top of a bus that said "Paralyzed" on it and they were singing a song. June smiled at her boys.
"Oh my gosh, I love Big Time Rush. They are so hot." Diana said. June smiled and kept watching them perform, loving the sound of James' voice.
"I know right?" Molly said.
"I like Kendall." Diana said.
"I like James." Molly and Diana said. June turned to the girls.
"Kendall just broke up with his girlfriend, I doubt he's over her yet. And James has a girlfriend." June said and took another bite of her sandwich and looked back at the T.V.
"Oh lookie here. June's a Big Time Rush fan." Molly said. June shrugged. She was a fan. She had all their album and their singles. Of course she is going to like them.
"Yeah I do like them. And James happens to be my favorite." June said. "Now are you going to be angry that we have something in common?" June asked. Molly scoffed.
"There's a difference between me liking him, and you liking him. I would actually have a chance. Unlike you, with your fake boyfriend." Molly said. June laughed on the inside.
"I'm so done with this." June mumbled to her self. She finished her sandwich and went to her room.
She sat on her bed and opened her bedside table's drawer. She reached in and pulled out the pictures James gave her when she left. She opened the Prom ones first. She saw all the typical poses. Then she saw one of her and James kissing. She must have missed that one, she hadn't see it before. Then there was another one after it of her and James right after they broke apart. They both had big smiles on their faces and looked totally in love. June smiled and felt a tear slip down her cheek.
She opened the other envelope and looked at all the pictures from their day out. There was one of her and James kissing with ice cream all over.
There was one with James wearing a big floppy hat and girly sunglasses and June wearing a cowboy hat and aviators. She laughed.
She saw the next one of her and James on top of the Farris wheel. She saw one of her on James back, they had asked someone to take it for them. And then there was one of James on her back. She laughed again. There were more tears falling.
She saw one of James hold June bridal style. There was one of them holding hands, fingers intertwined.
Then she found the ones where her and James were on the beach, running around.
Finally she saw the one where they were laying down and James was kissing her cheek.
She set them down and saw there was another in the envelope, stuck in side. She pulled it out and the tears were unstoppable. James was sitting down and June was laying with her head in his lap, running a hand threw her hair. She was looking away and James was looking down at her, looking head over heals in love. June didn't know who took it, but she loved it.
June put the photos away and reached over and grabbed her phone and dialed James' number. He answered after a couple rings.
"Hey June!" James said cheerfully. Hearing his voice brought more tears to June's eyes.
"Hi James." June said, her voice a little uneven.
"Are you crying? What's wrong?" James asked, his voice filled with concern.
"Mostly nothing. I was just looking threw all the pictures, and I just miss you so much James." June said.
"Oh baby, it's only 2 more weeks. Then were together again." James said. June took a deep breath.
"I saw you on the news today." June said. James laughed.
"Seriously? Hey guys, June saw us on the news all the way in Florida." James said to the boys.
"Oh my gosh." June heard a girl's voice, and not Camille's. That was followed by a lot a laughing.
"Who are you with?' June asked. She wasn't jealous, she told herself, she just wants to know.
"The boys, Camille, and then this new girl who moved in. Her name is Lucy Stone. You'll have to meet here when you get back." James said. June sighed out of relief.
"Okay I will. Why did you do all that on the news?" June asked.
"Well Lucy said that we don't rock, so Kendall, being as stubborn as he is, made Gustavo write a rock song and then we had to do all that to prove to Lucy that we rock." James said.
"Oh okay, that makes sense." June said sarcastically.
"So those girls aren't being too mean right?" James asked. They're a million times worse than the beginning.
"No, they're getting better. They aren't really mean to me anymore." June said, not wanting James to worry. It's only 2 more weeks.
"Ok everyone wants to say hi." James said and put the phone on speaker.
"Hey June! We miss you." The boys and Camille said.
"I miss you too guys. I'll be home in 2 weeks. Oh and hi Lucy. I guess I'll meet you when I get back." June said, not wanting her to feel left out.
"Yeah I can't wait to meet you, James has said a lot about you." Lucy said. June smiled.
"I'm sure he has. I-" June was cut off by her door opening. She put her phone down, accidentally turning it on speaking, but not noticing.
"Oh. Talking to yourself again, like you do every night?" Molly asked. The boys, Camille and Lucy exchanged glances. She just said they weren't mean to her.
"No, I'm talking to my boyfriend and friends from California, just like I tell you every night." June said.
"Oh does you're boyfriend know about your obsession with Big Time Rush?" Molly asked.
"What obsession with Big Time Rush?" June asked confused. "I have their album, is that an obsession? What about you and your posters?" Molly stepped forward and grabbed the phone out of June's hand.
"Oh good, it was on speaker so they heard." Molly said. June's eyes grew. "That's right fake boyfriend and fake friends. June has a big ol' crush on James Diamond." Molly said into the phone. The boys of Big Time Rush and Camille and Lucy laughed. Molly looked satisfied.
"Well I would hope she would have a crush on me, I am her boyfriend." James said. Molly looked at the phone in confusion.
"What do you have you're boyfriend pretending for you?" Molly asked she looked at the phone and her eyes grew. June smiled, remembering that her contact picture was of her and James kissing. "Is that you?" Molly asked pointed to the picture. June nodded.
"Yeah, this is James Diamond, I'm June's boyfriend, now can you give her the phone back." James said. Molly stood shocked. June stood up and took the phone out of her hands.
"That's fake. You are so fake." Molly said.
"Show her the Prom pictures and the pictures from our last day." James said. June took speaker phone off and put it to her ear.
"No way. She'll take them. They are staying hidden, like they were all summer." June said. James took his phone off speaker and put it up to his ear and walked out of the room.
"Baby you said that they weren't mean." James said. June looked at Molly.
"Molly, can you leave, I would like to have a conversation." June said. Molly looked at her for a second and then left. She returned her attention to James.
"I didn't want you to worry about me." June said softly.
"I'm supposed to worry about you, you're my girlfriend." James said. June smiled.
"It's only 2 more weeks. I'll be fine." June said.
"Fine." James grumbled.
"I miss you." June said.
"I miss you too. Only 2 weeks." James said.
"14 days." June said.
"And I'm counting them down." James said.
"I'm going to sleep now, it's almost midnight. I love you." June said.
"I love you too June." James said and hung up. June sighed and plugged her phone in and put James' jersey on and fell asleep.
