Class seemed to drag on forever as I yawned watching the clock on the wall. The Palm Wood's version of a school bell rang and everyone jumped out of their seats scrambling for the door. I slowly packed all of my things into my back pack and slugged my way out of class. I walked back to my place, yawning and dragging my feet, in hopes of just doing my homework and maybe take a nap. I haven't felt this tired in a while, when I did though it hit me like a brick wall.

I smiled weakly as I walked into my apartment. My smile fell though, when I saw I had walked into a war; my parents were yelling back and forth. I've never seen them act like this. I'm pretty sure I've never seen them fight. I always let myself believe that they never fought or they just did it while I was out. My eyes shifted back and forth as they took turns trying to cut each other down.

I shut the door behind me; it closed with a heavy slam that made both of my parents jump and look at me. They both stood as frozen as a deer caught in headlights, breathing heavily as they stared at me. I did nothing but return an emotionless gaze back at them.

I shifted my eyes with a sigh, "I don't care what it's about, but can it stop now? I have homework to do." I said.

Still breathing heavily they looked back to each other not saying a word. I somberly walked between them to my room not giving them a passing or second glance. I shut my bedroom door behind me and dropped my back pack on the desk. Sighing to the sound of the front door slamming shut, I sat down to try to start my homework. I was glad I didn't have much though; I only had to read a chapter of speak.

I had gotten a few pages in before my phone vibrated in my pocket. It was a text from Kelly.

From Kelly:

Are you busy?

To Kelly:

Not really; just finishing reading for school. What's up?

From Kelly:

When you're finished can you come by the studio?

To Kelly:

Sure I can; no problem.

I finished the chapter, with new anxiety forming in my stomach, and quickly headed to the studio. For what though? I haven't even started the song yet, there wasn't anything to go over yet. Was I on my way to meet the hot headed fire breathing dragon that I've heard stories about? I swallowed hard as I pulled into a parking spot, cut off the engine, and basically ran into the building. I shoved past people, as politely as I could, making my way up to the studio. I slammed on my personal brakes right outside the door. I shuddered out a sigh and knocked on the door.

It opened with a smiling Kelly on the other side of it, "Come on in, Elizabeth."

I smiled and walked in. With the exception of Kelly, the studio seemed to be dead. Nobody was around, "Where's Gustavo?" I asked holding my breath shoving my hands in my pockets.

"He's out of town with Griffin," she stated. I sighed and rolled my eyes in relief, "but he wanted me to check in on you to see how much of the song you have." She looked up from her folder and we sat down.

I looked down to the floor. The last thing I wanted to do was disappoint Kelly and Gustavo. They were giving me a chance and it felt like I was wasting it by not having anything ready to show. I shifted my eyes to Kelly; she was looking at me waiting for my answer. I dropped my jaw slightly and tried searching my brain for something to tell her, but nothing was coming to me.

"You don't have anything yet, do you?" She asked with an amused smile.

"Not…yet..." I replied lifting my head.

"It's fine. I'll just…TEXT Gustavo and tell him that you're working hard on it." She said raising her eyebrows on the word text.

"Not good at lying?" I asked.

"What gave that away?" She asked phone in hand.

"The way that you said 'TEXT'." I laughed as we stood up.

"Well, I can only hold him off for so long. You'll have to have something written by the time he comes back." She stated.

I slowly sighed, "I know. It's just…"

"You're blocked? Gustavo goes through that a lot. I'm sure it'll come to you soon." She tried to assure me.

"I hope so…" I weakly smiled as I left the studio and went back home.

It felt like a long while that I sat in the car of the Palm Woods parking lot. Clouds had started to form over the city and I took it as a hint to head inside. I dug into my pocket and pulled out my phone to call Sawyer, hopefully he wasn't on set.

Sawyer picked up as I walked through the Palm Woods doors, "Hello?"

"Hey, are you on set?" I asked as I slowly walked through the lobby.

"No, I'm in my room."

"Well, I'm in need of help. Meet me at my place?" I asked as I got into the elevator.

"Of course!"

We said our goodbyes and hung up as the elevator doors dinged and parted. I rushed to my place, surprised to find the door unlocked and nobody home. Mom had left a note for me on the kitchen counter saying that Dad was the one who had stormed out earlier and that she had left to go and talk to him. "Alright…" I said throwing away the note as if Mom had just told me standing next to me.

JAMES' POV

The guys and I had a few days off since Gustavo was out of town and I decided to spend my time wisely by working on me. Looking this good doesn't come easy. I just took out my whitening strips for my teeth and was working on my hair, lucky comb in hand. Through the bathroom door I could hear Kendall shout followed by crashes and breaking glass. I shifted my eyes to the door, but quickly went back to the mirror and picked up a smaller so I could see the back of my head.

Better wear your Cuda…

As I reached for my Cuda hairspray something from the other side of the door made it slam in momentarily with a loud bang. I jumped and regained my composure before opening the door, "What the hell was that?" I asked my eyes still a little wide as I leaned out of the bathroom.

"A puck." Kendall called standing next to the dining table. He narrowed his eyes and he got a slightly confused look on his face, "You're in the bathroom. Why do you need another mirror?" He asked as he walked over and picked up the puck.

"So I can see the back of my head." I replied.

He smiled, "Ah, I see. Are you in?" He asked holding up his hockey stick.

I narrowed my eyes, "Yes." I replied as I began to put all my bathroom things away and got my things for the rink.

On the way to the rink, walking down the halls of the Palm Woods, Kendall and I were catching up about the past season and what each of us missed while we were recording for Gustavo.

"He made a winning score that was out of this world." Kendall said as he pushed the button for the elevator.

Something about that phrase reminded me of Elizabeth. I'm not sure why or what, but I thought of her. It took practically all day for me to think of it, but while we were on our way back home, it hit me.

"Kendall, during the movie marathon did you hear what Elizabeth said about Jupiter?" I asked as we got off of the bus.

Kendall made a face of confusion, "No. Why?" He asked as we continued down the sidewalk.

I slung my bag over my shoulder, "She said she wished she lived there."

He smiled in amusement, "Her and Logan should get an apartment there."

"No, dude…" I stopped him, "She said the reason why is because she would be weightless there."

Every muscle in his face dropped, "That's what she mumbled?"

"Yeah..."

"You're sure you didn't hear her wrong?" He asked as we continued to the Palm Woods.

"I was sitting right next to her." We walked for a few blocks with nothing said, but this was bothering me. "So what do we do about it?" I asked.

"Nothing..." Kendall replied.

"Nothing!" I repeated.

"For now. We'll step in when we see it getting worse than just words." He explained as we walked through the Palm Woods doors.


Reeeeeview? Sorry for the wait. I'm hopin to have internet in my room soon.
