A/N-Hey everybody. I've been planning this oneshot for awhile but I had writers block for a little so sorry for the long wait. Hope you enjoy.
Jo tried slamming the door but Kendall caught the door. She quickly moved to the other side of her apartment, glaring at Kendall. Kendall stood there staring back at her not backing down.
"What's your problem Jo?" Kendall asked calmly. Jo sighed angrily, glaring even harder at Kendall.
"Don't act like you don't know Kendall." Jo spat at Kendall. Kendall flinched a little before regaining his composure.
"Well I don't so why don't you explain to me?" Kendall said calmly, leaning against the door. Jo sneered pacing back and forth trying to calm her anger. When she looked at Kendall and saw how calm he was acting, her anger flared.
"You...you beat up my boyfriend." Jo yelled at Kendall. Kendall smirked a little, before going back into his emotionless state. "Why the hell would you even do that Kendall?"
"He was a douche." Kendall said calmly. Jo walked up to Kendall staring up into his face angrily.
"Oh yea so that makes it fucking perfect. Kendall thinks a guy's a douche so let him beat him up." Jo said sarcastically. "How come you don't beat up James? Isn't he a douche?" Jo sneered. Kendall growled finally letting emotion show on his face. Jo stared into his green eyes seeing anger, disappointment, and...something she couldn't identify.
"Don't bring my friends into this shit." Kendall said angrily. Jo laughed darkly in Kendall's face.
"Sometimes I don't fucking get you Kendall. One minute your my chill best friend then the next minute your beating up my boyfriend for no fucking reason." Jo said calmly. Kendall shook his head.
"He was fucking cheating on you Jo!" Kendall yelled, his green eyes full of anger, "You love a guy who keeps shoving his dick up different girls every fucking night!" Kendall yelled. Jo slapped Kendall hard in the face.
"Don't ever say that shit again!" Jo shouted in his face. Kendall gripped his face and his eyes filled with hurt.
"I was trying to protect you Jo. I'm sick and tired of watching him screw you over." Kendall said softly. Kendall looked down and shook his head. "The shit I do for you Jo." Kendall said sadly as he walked out of her apartment. Jo watched Kendall leave and she felt the tears coming to her eyes. 'We'll be okay tomorrow' Jo thought as she shut her door.
Jo woke up the next morning and immediately grabbed her phone hoping to see a text message from Kendall. She saw that she had four new messages.
James: yo wat happened between u & Kendall? Cus he's all bummed out & shit
Logan: Kendall seemed kinda mad. Are you and him okay?
Camille: call me as soon as possible
John: babe we need to talk.
Jo sighed softly as she called her boyfriend, John. John and her had been dating ever since Jo first came to the Palmwoods. Everyone seem to dislike him especially Kendall but she never took it seriously.
"Hello?" John answered sounding so broken up.
"Hey baby. How are you feeling?" Jo asked softly. He had taken a bad beating from Kendall, almost going unconscious if James didn't pull Kendall off of him.
"I feel like shit. Actually I wanted to talk you about yesterday." John said.
"Yea what about it?" Jo asked softly trying to not sound nervous. She heard John sigh into the phone and she was expecting the worst.
"Choose between me or Kendall because I can't deal with his bullshit anymore." John said calmly. Jo was shocked when he said that. She couldn't choose between them, it was literally impossible.
"I can't do that John. Kendall was one of my first friends when I came to L.A." Jo said softly.
"Well I can't take it anymore Jo. Either it's me or Kendall. I'll be expecting your answer by 3. Bye." John said and he hung up. Jo had tears in her eyes, she didn't know what to do. She needed to go talk to Kendall. She freshened up quickly and ran to 2J. She knocked on the door hoping Kendall would answer the door. Kendall opened the door, his calm demeanor quickly disappearing at the sight of Jo.
"What do you want Jo?" Kendall said sullenly.
"Can we talk please? In private?" Jo said quietly. Kendall sighed softly stepping into the hallway and closing the door behind him.
"What do you want to talk about?" Kendall asked curiously.
"This morning I called John," Jo said noticing Kendall rolling his eyes after hearing John's name. "And he told me to choose between you and him."
"What? The balls of this kid. You're obviously not choosing him right?" Kendall asked. Jo looked down and Kendall stood there knowing what was coming next.
"No I came to tell you that I choose him." Jo said sadly as she looked up at Kendall. She held her breath when she saw the raw emotions on Kendall's face. Kendall started chuckling.
"Why didn't I see this coming?" Kendall questioned. He shook his head his bangs falling into his eyes. "Have a nice life Jo." Kendall said softly as he opened the door and walked back into the apartment. Jo felt tears come to her eyes. She thought that letting go of Kendall would be the easier choice but she felt her heart breaking into tiny little pieces. She was regretting her choice.
Kendall walked into the apartment, his heart breaking every step he took away from Jo. 'I officially hate love.' Kendall thought miserably as he ignored everyone and went straight to his room. He jumped into his bed, face in his pillow as he sighed loudly into his pillow. 'Maybe I shouldn't have fucked up her little boyfriend's face.' Kendall thought darkly. He then remembered the reason why he beat up John and he felt anger run through his body.
Flashback
Kendall kissed the girl he was dancing with. He couldn't remember her name, either it was Casey or Clara something like that. Ever since Jo got with John, Kendall kinda got a player status because he wanted to forget his feelings for Jo. His status wasn't as bad as James though. The girl giggled as Kendall kissed down her neck. They heard someone come down the hallway and they hid in the shadows to see who it was. Kendall saw two people, a boy and a girl. Kendall told the girl to be quiet as he walked down the hallway and he almost blew his cover when he saw who it was it was Jo's boyfriend, John making out with a girl against the wall. He stood there knowing it was too dark for John or the girl to see him as he listened to them speak.
"John what if your girlfriend sees us?" the girl spoke as he kissed down her neck.
"She'll never find us trust me. She's too stupid to even come back here." John said before he kissed her. Kendall felt his blood boil when he heard the stuff they were talking about. Before Kendall lost host his temper, he needed to tell Jo. He walked out of the hallway ignoring the girl he was making out with and scanned the party. He saw Jo sitting down with Camille and he walked over there.
"Hey Kendall. You like the party?" Camille asked. Kendall glanced at her before looking at Jo.
"Yea I like it. Jo can I talk to you bout something?" Kendall asked. Jo looked at Camille before she got up and walked with Kendall outside.
"Whats up?" Jo asked curiously.
"Jo you need to break up with John." Kendall said somberly.
"And why the hell would I do that?"
"I don't wanna tell you. He should tell you himself."
"What are you talking about Kendall?"
"Yea what are you talking about?" A new voice joined the conversation. Kendall glared harshly at John as he put an arm around Jo. Kendall felt the rage that he was trying to control reach a new level.
"You know what I'm fucking talking about. In the fucking hallway." Kendall literally growled out. John eyes widened in shock but he quickly gained his composure. Kendall noticed. Jo looked between the two guys confused about the exchange.
"What were you doing in the hallway anyways?" John sneered.
"Don't try to turn shit back on me John. You clearly know what the fuck I'm talking about and you better tell Jo right now before I fucking tell her!" Kendall yelled his face turning red from anger. John smirked seeing how angry Kendall was getting.
"Fine I'll tell her," John turned to Jo, "Kendall is in love with you." John said smugly. That did it for Kendall as he tackled John to the ground. John punched Kendall in the face but that only made Kendall even madder. He straddled John and started punching his face in. James who saw the exchange from the tree he talking some girl under, quickly ran over to the fight. He grabbed Kendall by the waist and pulled him up, holding tight when Kendall tried to escape from his grip. John laid on the ground groaning from the pain. Jo helped him sit up and Jo glared at Kendall.
"Get the hell outta here Kendall." Jo said angrily. Kendall rolled his eyes and James let him go. Kendall turned to leave but in an instant he went and kicked John right in the ribs. James quickly ran to stop Kendall but Kendall just shook his head and walked away from Jo and John. James got on his knees to help John up.
"I'll talk to Kendall later." James said as he helped John to his feet. Jo shook her head, not wanting to say anything. She wrapped her arm around John's waist and they slowly walked to the car.
End Flashback
Kendall flipped on to his back and looked up at the ceiling. Well I guess I should move on if she wants to stay with her douchebag boyfriend.' Kendall thought as he sat up. Soon the door opened and James walked in. James sat on his bed looking at Kendall from across the room.
"What?" Kendall asked as James kept staring at him.
"Why did you beat up John yesterday? You said that you won't do anything to interfere with their relationship." James questioned. Kendall laughed slightly as he got up and walked into their closet. James followed him.
"Hey you wanna go clubbing today?" Kendall asked as he looked through his clothes.
"Yea sure but answer the question Kendall." James said sternly.
"Fine the only reason why I kicked the shit out of John was because he was cheating on Jo." Kendall said with no tone in his voice. James stared at Kendall but didn't see anything that showed he was lying.
"What? When?" James asked.
"At the party last night. He was making out with a girl in the dark hallway." James looked at Kendall shocked. He couldn't believe it. He thought John was cool dude but to cheat on your girlfriend is fucked up.
"Did you tell Jo?"
"Yea but she slapped me and today she told me she picking John over me so we aren't friends anymore." Kendall said blandly as he took the clothes that he was going to wear out of the closet. James followed feeling anger and disappointment flood throughout his body.
"Are you fucking kidding me? Wow the shit you do for her Kendall." James said as he laid down in his bed.
"That's exactly what I said yesterday to Jo." Kendall said as he grabbed his towel. "Are you going to take a shower before we leave?" James nodded. "Okay take one in Carlos and Logan's bathroom 'cause I'm going to take awhile." Kendall said as left to take a shower. James nodded as he grabbed his towel and walked out of the room.
"Are you sure you want to go to the club tonight?" Jo asked as she helped John slip on his shirt. After she left 2J, she went straight to John telling him her decision. John smiled as he kissed her cheek.
"Jo don't worry I'll be fine. Kendall didn't hurt me that badly." John said. Jo raised an eyebrow and John sighed. "Okay he hurt me a lot but I'm not going to let that stop me from going out. Are you gonna come?" John asked.
"No tonight is a girl's night in with Camille."
"Okay then I'll see you tomorrow." John said and he kissed Jo softly on the lips and walked out of his apartment. Jo was about to leave but then she heard John's phone go off. She looked at and saw a text message.
Babe where are you?- C
Jo stared at the message trying to figure out the meaning of this. Kendall's warning came into her head while she was staring at the message.
"Babe have you seen my..." John's sentence died as he saw Jo holding his cellphone.
"John what the hell is this?" Jo asked as she showed John the text message. John quickly scanned the text and racked his brain for a lie.
"Come on babe you how it is. That's my best friend Clarissa." John lied hugging Jo tightly. Jo relaxed into him but she was still suspicious.
"Best friends calling each other babe?" Jo questioned. John rolled his eyes. It was so easy to convince Jo that he wasn't cheating on her.
"I never questioned you and Kendall's friendship." John said as he pulled away from Jo. "And look what he did to me." Jo looked away from John. He had a point with what he said.
"You're sure she's just a friend?" Jo asked one more time.
"Yea I'm positive Jo. Why don't you believe it?" John asked pretending to be hurt. Jo didn't say anything and she kissed John softly. John pulled her closer but Jo broke away before the kiss got any hotter.
"That's just a little preview for tonight." Jo whispered as she pecked his lips. John smirked. Now he was gonna get action from two girls today. He kissed her cheek and they both walked out of his apartment.
"I'll see you later babe." John said as he walked off. Jo waved but she couldn't this feeling she felt of something bad happening. She walked to Camille's apartment and knocked on the door. Camille opened up the door and hugged Jo tightly. Jo walked in saying hi to Camille's dad and they walked into Camille's room.
"Okay get ready we're going out tonight." Camille said excitedly as she went in her closet and started throwing clothes around.
"What? I thought we were chilling here watching moves and shit." Jo said as she grabbed some of Camille's clothes to look at for Camille
"Yea we were but then I found out that the boys were going out clubbing today." Camille said excitedly. "I wanna try to get back with Logan today." Jo rolled her eyes. Logan and Camille were the most confusing couple in the world.
"Didn't you break up with him?" Jo asked. Camille came out with a short red dress.
"Yea but now I want him back because I miss him." Camille stated as she went back into her closet to find some heels.
"How do you even know he's going clubbing tonight?" Jo asked as she dodged some of the shoes that were being thrown across the room.
"Well I was creeping on twitter and Carlos tweeted saying that it was boy's night out because Kendall needed some cheering up." Camille said as she pulled out matching red heels from her closet. Jo kinda flinched when she heard Kendall wasn't happy.
"So how did you know they were going out to the club?"
"I texted James and he told me the name of the club." Camille said as she grabbed her towel. "How bout I get you from your apartment and we can go down together looking hot?"
"Okay I guess. Which club is it?" Jo asked wondering if she was going to be going to the same club as John.
"We're going to Club Heat." Camille stated as she looked through her bureau for undergarments.
"Okay I guess I'll go get ready. I'll see you later." Jo said as she walked out of Camille's apartment. Jo quickly ran down the stairs to her apartment but then she ran into someone.
"Hey watch where you're going." The person sneered. Jo looked up to see Kendall with a frown on his face. Jo looked at his bare chest then looked up at Kendall.
"Sorry Kendall I wasn't watching where I was going." Jo said quietly as she looked down Kendall's body again.
"To hell you weren't." Kendall mumbled as he walked by. Jo stared at his muscular back and the two tattoos on his back. How come all of a sudden she found Kendall very attractive?
A couple hours later Camille knocked on Jo's apartment and Jo came out in a short black dress with matching black heels. Camille hugged Jo and dragged her out of her apartment.
"Damn why are you in such a rush?" Jo asked laughing at how Camille was rushing. Camille impatiently clicked the elevator button until the elevator came. Both of the girls walked into the elevator and Camille pressed the lobby button.
"I'm in a rush to get my man back." Camille said determined. Jo rolled her eyes. What was the whole point of getting back together if they were just going to break up again?
"Oh and John is at that club too." Jo said excitedly. Camille gave her a pointed look.
"The same club Kendall is at?" Camille asked. Jo rolled her eyes again once more.
"It doesn't matter Camille. The chances of Kendall finding John in the club will be slim to none." Jo said smugly as they walked out of the elevator. They walked outside to Jo's Jaguar.
"And how will you find him? Since you wanna surprise him and shit." Camille asked as she got in the passenger seat. Jo sat in the driver's seat and started the car.
"I always know where John goes in Club Heat." Jo stated as she pulled out of the parking lot. Camille shrugged and went back to looking at her phone. The ride was quiet and Jo pulled up to the club in ten minutes. They both got out of the car and strutted towards the club. The bouncer smiled at them and let them in and the girls chuckled at the sound of the people outside complain. The club was packed, everyone dancing drinking and having fun.
"Jo do you see Logan?" Camille yelled over the music. Jo looked over in the corner at the corner tables and saw Logan sitting down talking to a few girls. Jo pointed towards the table and Jo swore she saw fire in Camille's eyes. Camille quickly walked over to the table, ditching Jo. Jo rolled her eyes as she went to the bar and got a drink. She saw James sitting on the couch, inappropriately touching the two girls beside him. Jo also saw Carlos dancing like crazy on the dance floor, a circle surrounding him as people were entertained by his wacky moves. Jo quickly finished her drink and went to the VIP section to find John.
"Jo? I didn't know you were coming here." Juan, John's best friend, said nervously.
"Yea I'm just here to surprise John." Jo said with a smile not noticing the nervous look on Juan's face. Juan moved out of the way and allowed Jo to go through to the VIP. Jo walked up the stairs but she took one last look at the dance floor from a higher level. There she saw him, grinding with some redhead. Her heart was hurting when she watched him glide his fingers over the skin that wasn't covered by the dress. He looked up and saw Jo standing on the stairs. He looked away, turned the girl around to face him, and started making out with her. Jo rolled her eyes trying to keep the tears from coming out. She continued climbing up the stairs and walked into the VIP room. She saw people she knew and she said hi to them and continued looking for John. Then she saw him, sitting down on the couch with a girl in his lap. His hands were placed on her ass and they were making out. Jo remembered Kendall's words and she cursed herself for falling for John's shit. She stormed over to John and pulled the girl's hair causing her to fall out of John's lap and on to the ground. John stared at Jo his eyes full of shock.
"Um hey babe." John said with a nervous smile. He looked into her brown eyes which were full of hurt and anger.
"Don't fucking hey babe me! How dare you!" Jo screamed. Everyone in the VIP room stared at Jo and John.
"Jo..."
"How long have you been fucking cheating on me?" Jo screeched. "Tell me the truth or I swear I'll fucking kill you in 36 different ways." John bowed his head down in shame.
"I've been cheating on you for two months Jo." John said quietly but loud enough for Jo to hear. Jo shaking anger and all of a sudden John was on the ground clutching his face in pain. Jo had punched him in the eye that Kendall had bruised the day before.
"You're really a piece of shit John. I can't believe I fell for your bullshit. I even told Kendall that I didn't want to be best friends just for your cheating ass." Jo shook her head." We're done John." Jo said as she walked out of the VIP room. Just as she reached the bottom of the stairs, the anger left her and she felt wave after wave of sadness enter her body. Jo felt tears come down her face and she ran through the crowds of people out the front door of the club. Nobody seemed to notice Jo run out but one person.
The next day Jo woke up feeling worse than she did yesterday. She cried herself to sleep last night over all the mistakes she made. She especially cried over losing her friendship with Kendall. She dragged herself out of bed and walked into the bathroom. She saw herself and noticed that she looked like shit. She washed up a little and brushed her teeth and she walked into the kitchen. Her dad was currently in Florida helping the CSI with a case leaving her all alone. She suddenly wished that she had her dad to talk to. She made some cereal and sat down to eat it. Her phone started ringing and she looked at the caller id and she saw it was Camille.
"Hey Camille."
"Jo you have to come down here!" Camille shouted into the phone. Jo held the phone away from her ear.
"Why?"
"Kendall...he's going crazy." Camille said in a rush. "He just beat the shit out of John and now he left and we don't know where he's going." Jo grabbed her car keys and threw on a sweater.
"Okay I'm on my way." Jo said as she left her apartment. She quickly ran downstairs where everyone was gathered in a circle. Jo pushed her way to the front where she saw John lying down on the ground and Logan checking him out to see if they had to call an ambulance. James noticed that Jo was standing there and he walked over to her. "What's going on?" Jo asked.
"Kendall came down here, beat the shit out of John and just left without saying a word. We don't know what's going on with him." James said worriedly. "Do you have any idea where Kendall could of gone?" Jo thought about where Kendall could of went to when she finally thought of it. She looked at Camille who nodded at her and she smiled.
"I know exactly where he is." Jo said with a small smile. "I'll go get him." Jo said as she jumped over John to get to the lobby doors.
"What about your boyfriend?" Logan asked. Jo shrugged and she ran through the doors to the parking lot. She looked through the parking lot to see if Kendall took a car or not. After she checked and noticed that Kendall was probably walking there, she hopped in her car and drove out of the lot. She drove slowly down the road making she wouldn't drive past Kendall. About ten minutes down the road, she saw Kendall walking down the road with his hands in his pockets and his head down. Jo pulled over and pulled the window down.
"Hey Kendall do you need a ride?" Jo asked with a smile. Kendall kept on walking ignoring Jo. "Kendall please. We really gotta talk." Jo pleaded. Kendall stopped walking and faced Jo.
"If you're gonna ask if I beat up John then yes I did. Conversation over." Kendall said and he kept on walking. Jo drove next to him desperate to get him into the car.
"Kendall please. I don't wanna talk about that. I wanna talk about us." Jo said. Kendall stopped walking but he still had his back turned to Jo.
"What do you mean?" Kendall asked. Jo sighed in relief.
"Just come in the car and we can talk about it on the hill." Jo said softly. Kendall nodded as he went to the passenger side and got into the car. The hill was Jo and Kendall's spot where they talked about everything. They also went there to think and to comfort each other when they were sad. Jo drove towards the hill, taking glances at Kendall who was just stared outside through the window. They finally reached the bottom of the hill and they both got out. Kendall immediately started walking up the hill while Jo hung back to think about what she was going to say to Kendall. Kendall turned around and saw that Jo was still near her car.
"Hey you coming?" Kendall yelled out. Jo gulped and smiled as she ran up the hill. They both sat down on the hill that overlooked the city. "What do you wanna talk about?"
"I just want to say I'm sorry for dropping you as my best friend Kendall. I was stupid and I thought I was in love..." Jo was cut off by Kendall putting a finger to her lips. Kendall smiled at Jo slightly before it turned into a frown.
"Don't worry about it Jo. I know how it feels to be in love with someone who doesn't love you." Kendall said as he looked back at the city skyline. Jo looked at Kendall to try to figure out how Kendall was feeling but for the first time in the time she knew Kendall, she was closed out. Jo felt her heart stinging but she wasn't going to let it affect her.
"What do you mean Kendall?" Jo asked curiously. Kendall laughed slightly and continued staring at the skyline.
"Once upon a time, there was a guy named Kevin. He fell in love with his best friend Jasmine but she had a horrible boyfriend named Jonathan. Soon enough Jasmine ditched Kevin for Jonathan and Kevin was hurt. Kevin even warned her that Jonathan was bad for her but she got mad at him. A day later they all went to the club and Jasmine found out that Jonathan was cheating on her." Kendall laughed slightly as his frown deepened. "Kevin saw her run from the club and even though they weren't friends anymore, his love for her caused him to beat up Jonathan for her. A couple minutes later Jasmine apologized to Kevin and they became best friends again. But the question Kevin is always going to ask is when will Jasmine realize that the best guy for her is right in front of her?" Kendall narrated before he hung his head low. "I feel bad for Kevin. I really do." Jo stared at Kendall all confused. Finally the story started clicking in her head. The hurt Kendall had in his eyes when she told him that they weren't friends, the anger and hate Kendall had for John, and the overprotective attitude Kendall had for Jo. Jo finally got it. Kendall was in love with her.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Jo asked quietly. Kendall shook his head not wanting to answer. Jo put a hand on Kendall's jaw and forced him to look at her. "Why Kendall?" Kendall forcefully moved her hand from his face.
"I didn't tell you 'cause you were blindsided. Whenever we hung out you always talked about guys with me like I'm your gay little best friend!" Kendall snapped. Kendall stood up, the anger running though his veins. "If I tell you now, your just gonna play with my feelings. I'm not going through that anymore. I'm tired of it." Kendall said tiredly. "I'm tired of loving you everyday, knowing that you would never love me back. I'm tired of dreaming about being with you but when I wake up and get hit with reality, the pain gets worse." Kendall turned around, his back facing Jo. "I'm tired of wishing for something I'll never get." Kendall sighed softly. "Goodbye Jo." Kendall whispered as he walked down the hill. Jo can only stare at Kendall's retreating figure as he walked away. Jo finally felt the pain as soon as Kendall was gone.
"What if I told you that I love you too?" Jo whispered into the wind. Jo felt the tears stream down her face and soon enough she started sobbing into her hands. Jo had made a big mistake and it cost her a potential lover and her best friend. As she continued crying, the wind had picked up her words and blew past Kendall. Kendall stopped in his tracks as he strained to hear the words the wind had blew past him. He wasn't able to hear it and he continued to walk on his way.
A/N- So that's it. I was thinking that I would leave here but I already have plans for a part two to this oneshot. But I don't know if I should. What do you guys think?
