chapter twenty - part two | big time concert

Standing at the door of James' house, the boys stood there staring at James' father in shock as he explained, "Yeah, sorry, guys. James left an hour ago for L.A. with a producer named, uh, Hawk and some girl with purple hair."

Kendall tilted his head in confusion, "Wait. Was the girl's name Juliette?"

James' dad nodded his head, "Yeah, that's her."

"Why would Juliette be with Hawk?" Logan asked, turning to glance back at Gustavo who was about to scream in rage.

After - reluctantly - convincing James to join her and sign to Hawk Records, James had packed all of his things and had joined the two on the Hawk private jet that returned the three to Los Angeles. At the moment, Juliette and James were sitting in the back of a taxi that was taking them to the Palm Woods where the two would stay at the old apartment 2J. A silence had consumed them since the plane ride as neither of them knew exactly what to say. Since their last interaction, multiple things had changed - Juliette was now signed on for Hawk Records, James was now signed on for Hawk Records, and James somehow knew Rosalie's secret.

"Why are you with Hawk now?" James finally spoke up, breaking the long held silence. Juliette glanced up from staring out the window, a piece of her hair in her fingers as she was twirling it around. Seeing the motion, James smiled softly. "I thought you hated him."

Juliette sighed, "Look, Griffin sold me out to Hawk Records. I have no other choice. I can't break this contract without any back-up plan." James nodded in understanding. With Rocque Records practically gone from the music industry, Hawk Records was Juliette Star's only chance. The purple-haired girl turned her body to face James, "By the way. We need to talk about what you know."

"I don't know what you're talking about?"

Rolling her eyes, Juliette continued, "We'll talk more when we get inside our apartment."

James nodded, but froze as he processed her sentence, "Okay. Wait - our?"

"Woah." James muttered in shock, staring at what used to be his old apartment.

The entire apartment had been redone by Hawk. There was a completely different color scheme and the slide had been replaced with a staircase that led to the second floor where the two bedrooms were. On the wall were two large pictures - one of James and the other of Juliette.

"Yeah." Juliette nodded, making her way to stand beside him and leaving her luggage there. "Hawk bought your old apartment and pretty much refurbished it the entire place. It's alright, I guess. I preferred the way it looked before."

James nodded, "And you will be staying here with me?"

"If that's okay?"

"Perfectly fine." James said immediately. Juliette smiled as she walked towards the couch, falling down onto it and sighing in relief as she kicked off her heels. James walked over to her and sat down next to her. He raised an eyebrow, You wanted to talk?"

"Yeah. Okay, uh, well, I mean you already know the secret so-" Reaching up, she pulled off the purple wig and placed it on her lap. She pulled off her wig and allowed her blonde hair to fall down over her shoulders, "-that's better."

James was staring at her with wide eyes, laughing in shock, "You're really Juliette Star, huh?"

Rosalie nodded with a small smile. "Yeah. How did you figure it out?"
