Here's the final part of my little story. I'm really sorry for the delay, to make up for it, I'm adding a short one-shot after this. Enjoy!

"Dak Zevon? The same Dak Zevon that Katie had a major crush on for like... forever?" James ran a hand down his face, this was not happening! "Isn't he suppose to be in Germany performing for some beer commercial or something?"

"He was in Texas, not Germany and he was performing for a charity." Kendall muttered as he continued to nervously tap his fingers against the counter. He looked at his watch, then the clock hanging from the kitchen wall, it was almost midnight and his baby sister was still out with one of the most coveted singers known to girls everywhere!

"How could you have agreed to this? Dak Zevon is a player and he's old and he's not even that good looking!" This was wrong, it was all wrong. Katie wasn't suppose to date anyone else, she belonged with him, James Diamond, not Dak Zevon.

"Well, according to All Things Pop, Dak is the sexiest pop star in America." Logan offered from his seat in the living room as he flipped through the channels. "He's also known as one of the most respectful guys out there."

James dropped his head on the kitchen counter with a thud, Logan was right but that didn't mean he had to like him. Especially if Dak Zevon was trying to get with his Katie.

"I'm sure they're fine and on their way, try not to worry so much. Dak wouldn't do anything that might harm Katie, he likes her too much." Logan said standing up and walked to where his two friends were currently fretting.

"Since when are you on a first name basis with Dak Zevon?" James said his name as if it was something vile, he looked at his friend with narrowed eyes, who's side was Logan on, anyway?

"That's his name, I think after all these years we've known him for, we can drop the Zevon."

Carlos ran down the stairs, interrupting anything James might have said. Kendall sighed as he turned to face his drenched friend. Perhaps he should have listened to Logan's advice and hired a professional plumber instead of allowing Carlos to try.

"Don't worry, everything's going just fine but I'm going to need some more masking tape." Carlos stated as he made a dash for the kitchen.

"Why do you need masking tape? You shouldn't need masking tape!" Kendall shouted, knowing his nerves were beginning to get the best of him. Before anything else could be said, they all heard the door open and watched as Katie walked in, sexiest pop star in tow.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" Katie asked as she led her date to the group of anxious looking guys.

"Evening, fellas." Dak offered with a small wave and smile. James didn't bother hiding his dislike and glared at his rival while Kendall and Carlos nodded their greeting. Logan, ever the logical one, stood up and shook Dak's hand politely.

"Nice to see you, again, Dak. You guys have fun?"

"We did. Um, why is Carlos soaking wet?" Katie asked. They all turned to where their friend was standing, now in a small puddle on the floor.

"Oh! I'm fixing a broken pipe in the upstairs bathroom but I needed some masking tape." Kendall groaned, knowing a plumber would more than likely charge double to fix whatever else Carlos had damaged.

"Can I offer some help, I'm pretty handy with plumbing."

"You are?" Kendall asked with a hopeful smile. James only glared at Dak Zevon, thinking how much he wanted to flush him down the toilet.

"My father taught me all there is to plumbing, he has his own business and wanted to make sure I'd have a plan B if my music career didn't work out."

"I don't need any help. Thanks, though." Carlos replied with a smile but Kendall quickly added,

"Of course you don't but Dak hasn't seen my bathroom anyways so let's go show him." Kendall, Carlos and Dak made their way up the stairs, leaving an awkward trio to stare at one another.

"I can't believe you went on a date with Dak Zevon, how could you do this to me?" James asked, his hurt visible for all to see. As soon as his rival had left, the anger James had been feeling all night, left as well. Only to be replaced with hurt.

"Maybe I should go check on them..." Logan muttered uncomfortably as he made to leave only to have Katie grab his arm.

"You don't have to leave, I'd prefer if you stayed, actually."

"I agree with her, you don't have to leave, Logan." James moved and stood in front of Katie, seeing her with Dak had only confirmed his fears, he could very well lose Katie before having a chance. He never wanted to feel that way again.

"James, I don't want to argue with you anymore, I want you to know-" James didn't let her finish. He pressed his hands to her cheeks before gently pressing his lips to hers. Katie stood, not sure what to do but eventually melted into the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck as they deepened their kiss while Logan slowly moved away.

"Does this mean you'll give me a chance to beg your forgiveness?" James asked as they backed away. Katie nodded, not sure if she could talk without sounding out of breath.

"Before you guys talk, I do want to say one thing." Logan said as he stood next to them, his stern expression making James feel nervous.

"Logan, I can explain. I-" Logan raised a hand to silence James.

"I knew this would happen a long, long time ago. I don't have a problem with you two seeing each other as long as you learn to keep your problems within yourselves. I'm here for you, both of you but if you can't talk to each other, then, maybe you're not ready for a serious relationship." Katie looked down at her feet, knowing Logan was right. James, on the other hand, looked a bit confused.

"What are you talking about, I never went to you for..." He turned to Katie and noticed her guilty stance. "You told him about us?"

"Technically, there was no us but yea, I did go to him for advice."

"Just forget that happened and move-"

"Why would you go to Logan? He doesn't know anything about relationships."

"Now wait just a minute, I do-"

"I couldn't exactly go to Kendall, he would have killed you and Carlos, well, Carlos did just break up with his ex so I figured Logan would do."

"I'm still here..." Logan said, crossing his arms over his chest, annoyed at how they spoke as if he wasn't in the room.

"I guess you're right, I'm sorry for making you feel like you had to go to someone else to talk to, especially someone like Logan." James grinned when said friend punched his shoulder.

"What is that suppose to mean?"

James walked up to Katie and held her hands. He looked into her eyes and knew there was nobody in the world that would make him feel the way she did, Katie was special, one of a kind and she was his.

"I'm sorry for being immature. These feelings I have for you, they're new to me and I guess I wasn't sure how to deal with them. I know I've never had a serious relationship but I want to have one and only if it's with you."

"And I'm sorry I acted like a spoiled brat. I guess I felt insecure and was looking for any reason not to trust you, forgive me?" James smiled, wrapping his arms around her once more.

"Only if I get to break the news to Dak Zevon." He grinned, glad to know he'd beat Zevon at something.

"James, he took me out to tell me about his girlfriend. I guess he'd gone through the same thing." She looked over at Logan. "I have no idea how he found out about us," Logan shrugged apologetically.

"You mean, he's not my rival?" James asked, glad he didn't have to compete with the sexiest pop star in America. Katie smiled, loving how it felt to be in James' arms. "So, I don't have to fight anyone?"

"Just me." James backed away from Katie, wanting to run away as far as he could. Instead, he settled for hiding behind her and Logan as he watched the missing trio walk down the stairs.

"Kendall, I can explain." Kendall raised his hand to Katie but before he could say anything, James stepped out and faced his best friend, knowing he had to be brave and try as hard as he could not to beg for his life.

"I've known Katie for years, I used to think she was like a little sister but then, I realized I was wrong." James held his hand out to Katie, who gladly took it. "I love her, Kendall. I really do and I don't want anything but to make her happy. She's willing to give me a try and I hope you'll be okay with it because I don't plan on letting her go, ever again."

The group waited in silence, waiting for Kendall to punch James or something. Instead, Kendall sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. Giving the new couple a small smile.

"Dak told me what was going on upstairs. At first I wanted to kill you but after hearing your little speech, I guess I can trust Katie's judgement." James felt like everything was finally falling into place. He had Katie and Kendall wouldn't murder him.

"Really? Just like that? I expected more from you, buddy." Logan sighed, having thought he'd get to use some of his new medical knowledge on James. Kendall looked at him with a glare.

"And you, you knew and didn't tell me? What kind of best friend are you?"

The group laughed when the two boys started playfully fighting each other. James shook Dak's hand and suffered a drenched hug from Carlos, glad he had his friends support. Katie smiled at him and he knew everything would be okay as long as he had her by his side.

Might not be the best ending but it's my story and I'm sticking to it. So, I really am sorry it took me awhile to update. My computer broke, finally got it fixed only to find out someone close to me had passed away from cancer...I was a mess. I lost all inspiration and gave up on writing for a few months. I'm feeling better now, although the hurt is still here. Anyway, hope you guys understand and thank you for reviewing, adding it your favorites and just being great readers.
