A/N: Hello everybody!
So...I was very flattered by all of you guys' reviews last chapter. Keep them coming guys, they're awesome and inspire me to write things down quickly.
SHOUTS OUT!
-Samanthateach: Thank you! I try not to stick with just one style of writing because then I think it grows too repetitive and dull to read. I'm glad you're liking the story so far and thanks for reviewing!
-AkireAlev: I'm glad you liked the Jendall...Jendall's my favorite non-slash pairing, followed by Jatie (yes, I'm a Jatie fan, lol.) but Jucy would be right after. And who knows? He might wake up...at one point.
-SuperNeos2: I'm glad you also liked the Jendall and I'm also glad you can see that Jo's doing all that to help Kendall recover. As I've said before...James might wake up...and I gotta agree, I miss writing about him. I myself miss Kames, lol. We'll see whenever my muse decides its time to have James wake up.
-xTheTearsThatNeverFallx: Aww...I'm sorry. It'll get better soon, I promise, the Jendall's not a permanent thing...then again, you'll probably hate me again after this chapter but...patience...it'll get better soon, I promise.
-LoveSparkle: Right? I thought so to after reading back on the chapter...after all, I'd already made Kendall go through too much...he deserves a break and some loving...thanks for reviewing!
-jamesmaslowlover: Was this soon enough? Lol. Thanks for reviewing!
-Kendaliosis: Thanks for the trust...I hope I won't let you down and that you continue to like the story. To be fair though, you'll only have to bear with the Jendall for a few more chapters...I think...I'm not sure yet though, sometimes I shock myself with what I write, lol.
-ChocoChocoBloo: Well...as I said in the beginning, this IS a Kames story so Kames SHOULD come back...at some point. I'm glad you've enjoyed both stories so far and thanks for reviewing!
-4ever with Kames: Your prediction MIGHT be right...I mean, I really don't know, I've yet to write the next couple of chapters. But I think so. Anyways, bear with the Jendall a little more...it'll be over before you know it.
-Ro-Someone3: If you thought the kiss was annoying...well, I won't give any spoilers, just know you'll hate me (probably) by the end. Then again, you're right. The Kames WILL come back...eventually. I'm glad I inspired you and I'll be looking forward to reading your stories. Thanks for the review!
-Cks: He will wake up...soon? Maybe? Who knows...eventually he will, though. But all may not be as you imagine...
-Eloisa M: Aww, thank you! Well, the episode in itself made ME laugh, it was hilarious...and James' MIGHT recover at some point in the near future.
-OuToFmYmInDbAcKiN5MiNuTeS: OMG, I can't even tell you HOW glad I am you're ACTUALLY reading my stories! PEOPLE, IF YOU WANT TO READ SOME GREAT KAMES...AND I MEAN GREAT KAMES CHECK OUT THIS GIRL'S "All Over Again" and "Landslide" MY STORIES ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO THIS GENIUS'! Anyways, back to your review, I'm glad you're not against the Jendall...and he'll recover eventually, as will the Cargan...speaking about them...I have big plans for them to be carried out sometime soon...
-SerenityRatliff: Hi again! Yeah, I was beginning to think you'd lost interest in the stories, lol. Glad you caught up. It was great hearing from you again. Yes, I know what you mean, my writings have a tendency to have a rollercoaster of emotions...and I can tell you, it's only going to get more emotive as we go. But we'll see how things develop...cute moments are also up ahead in future chapters. Thanks for reviewing!
-Anonymous: I have not killed James thus far...amd honestly I can't say I'll be able to bring myself to actually kill him...I just love him too much. But I don't know, personally, I think I'd much sooner kill off James tan kill Kendall...Kendall is just...Kendall. Too perfect. Anyways, thanks for the review and...I don't think you'll have much to worry about. Up until now I really haven't thought to include character deaths in this fic...but I might change my mind...who knows?
You guys ROCK! Keep up with the AMAZING reviews!
Enjoy the chapter!
Cheers,
Franshes

Ch. 6: Just Friends?
It was like Jo's reappearance in Kendall's life had re-awakened the old Kendall, everyone had to admit rather relieved.
Jo now came and visited him almost every day since he'd returned to 2J and, though that didn't stop Kendall from visiting James every single day, it DID get him out of the hospital much earlier and happier than before.
Kendall was smiling now, weak smiles, but smiles nonetheless. His wounds had healed and only left faint scars behind, though you could still make out the name JAMES in both his arms.
His eyes got some of their old spark back and his singing and dancing turned that much livelier.
The only thing that bothered Kendall was how everyone assumed he'd started dating Jo again. I mean, sure, they were great friends, best friends…but lovers? Kendall still couldn't picture anyone but James as that.
Guiltily, though, he had to admit not all his actions with Jo had been friendly per say. After those first kisses they'd shared many more, and though those kisses lacked the spark and deviousness they'd had when they'd previously dated before, they were still, Kendall had to admit, rather nice.
However, as much as he enjoyed Jo's company and her attentions he still couldn't let James go. He couldn't fully move on, Kendall knew, because he still loved James. He loved him way too much to stop hoping he'd eventually wake up. Even when James neared 6 months in a coma.
Kendall was shaken out of his thoughts as he heard the apartment door close. He turned around and smiled when he saw Jo had just entered.
"Hey Kendall," she said, smiling back at him "How are you doing today?"
"I'm fine, thanks, you?" he said.
"Well…you'll be excited to know, hopefully, that New Town High got nominated for being the best teen T.V show in this year's Youth Choice Awards!" she said.
"Hey that's awesome!" Kendall replied, genuinely happy for her "So…are you going for best actress or what?"
"Yep…and Jett's up for the hottest actor, a fact which has gotten to his head a lot more than it should if you ask me," said Jo with a roll of her eyes.
"No kidding," Kendall scoffed "Let's hope Camille keeps him in line then, shall we?"
"Totally," Jo agreed "I still can't believe those two are dating for real,"
"Yeah, it was a bit of a major change from Logan to Jett huh?" Kendall said.
Jo nodded in agreement.
"Did you hear who got nominated for hottest male celebrity this year?" she asked quietly.
"No, but I'll assume it's the usual…Dak Zevon, Dustin Beeler, Bruno Saturn, Joey Johnny, Barry Miles, you know, the usual…"
"Right, wrong, right, right, wrong and you're missing one…" Jo said.
"Okay, so it's Dak Zevon?" Kendall said,
Jo nodded.
"Bruno Saturn?" he continued, again, she nodded.
"Joey Johnny, and who else?" Kendall asked.
"You," Jo said softly.
"Me?" Kendall exclaimed, surprised "Why me? I'm not considered, you know, hot per say, it was always James who-"
"You underestimate yourself sometimes, or rather, ALL the time, you know that right?" Jo interrupted him, taking his hand and looking directly into his eyes.
"How so?" he said.
"You're the reason Big Time Rush even exists, I mean; sure, it was James' dream that led you guys to the audition but it was YOUR talent that made Gustavo pick you. And your talent was so spectacular that he even agreed to bring all four of you here to L.A even though we BOTH know Logan and Carlos were not superstar material when they first came here…"
"But they adapted!" Kendall protested, always defending his friends.
"Yes, because YOU made them adapt," Jo said patiently "I mean, you were the one who came up with the plan to attend Palm Wood's school or else you guys would've been stuck with whatever weird kind of education Gustavo gave you before, am I correct? That's what Camille said, anyways…"
"Well yeah, I came up with the plans but the others helped…" Kendall said.
"AND you were the one that came up with the idea of forcing Gustavo to re-decorate 2J into what it is now…he even gave you guys a swirly slide!" Jo said.
"Yeah but James, Carlos, Camille, and Katie were the ones who fooled Kelly! I couldn't have done it without them!" Kendall said.
"You were also the only one who could pull off a decent bad boy role- enough so to please Griffin," Jo said, arms crossed.
"Yeah well, that's 'cause, 'cause- that was luck!" Kendall said "And it was because Wayne-Wayne sucked! I couldn't let him just-break apart our band! It was luck though, that Griffin fell for it…"
"Sure…" Jo said, rolling her eyes "You also figured out a way to stop Griffin from completely ruining and ridiculing you guys' first picture ever in Pop Tiger-"
"Well I wouldn't have done it if Gustavo hadn't come at exactly the right time…" Kendall said.
"See? Everything you've done you're minimizing it…why can't you just accept the fact you're awesome Kendall?"
"Because I'm not," Kendall said "I'm just an ordinary guy with an extremely unusual amount of good luck and amazing friends I care about deeply and-and a boyfriend I love to death…"
Jo cut him off with a kiss which Kendall didn't fight it, because he knew he was close to tears and if he didn't take his mind off James, he was going to break down and he didn't want that. Instead, he concentrated on Jo and how warm and comfy she felt, her arms wrapped around his neck, her body pressed tightly to his.
"How about the time you figured out I was lying about having a boyfriend?" she whispered in his ear.
"That was my sister's doing, not me," Kendall said, his breath hitching at the feeling of Jo's warm breath in his ear.
"Or when you organized our school's end-of-the-year dance all in one day?" she continued, crawling up to him, straddling his hips.
"All the guys helped. Heck, e-even you helped on that," Kendall said, his breathing becoming labored. To say Jo was not making him nervous would be a complete and utter lie at this point. Kendall even had to admit, ashamedly, that she was beginning to arouse him, just a little…damn his stupid bisexuality!
"The time we stopped Bitters from discovering about your friends' 'little party'?" Jo asked.
"You said the right word. We did it. We both stopped him. Besides, in the end he found out and Kelly had to offer him money so he'd shut up and leave us alone," Kendall said.
"True, but it was fun trying to trick him," Jo said laughing at the memory "Okay, how about this Mr. Modesty, how come you're the only one of your friends who didn't get Hollywood Fever?"
"Well…you saw what it was in the end. It was homesickness…I guess I just never got homesick- my family was right here and, well, you can't exactly blame my friends for missing theirs," he said. Jo still hadn't moved and was still straddling him; he moved his hands to grip her hips. Pulling their pelvises together.
"The time we fooled both our producers and Jett so we could walk down the red carpet together?" Jo said, beginning to grind their hips together.
"See, that, that was just 'cause I'm awesome, more so than Jett…" Kendall said, in between pants. Ashamed because he was now very much aroused by Jo's actions and yet he still couldn't get James out of his mind. It was like being back at square one again- James or Jo? Only James wasn't here to try and win him over now…
"There you go, that's the Kendall I know!" Jo said smiling before kissing him briefly again. She and Kendall both shuddered as they came, still fully clothed, leaving them with a mess of sticky clothes and even a worse mess of emotions.
Kendall smiled tiredly at her. He wasn't exactly sure what he and Jo were right now but having her here sure stopped his life from being pure hell, even if it WAS pretty confusing…
A/N: Alright...This chapter didn't turn out as I'd initially pictured it, but, no matter, 'cause I still liked it, even though I skipped James' 5th month in a coma( sorry about that). Even so...I liked it...yes, I know, hate me all that you want. BUT, on a brighter note, next chapter's almost done and so far it seems very interesting...
Very, VERY interesting.
So review, and I might have it out very soon...
8-10 are my happy numbers!
Any predictions? Lol. I'll be glad to hear them.
And who's excited for "Big Time Cartoon"? I know I am...
REVIEW!
Cheers,
