"Em, are you okay? You look pale."
Emmy tried to smile at James reassuringly, but she looked even worse. Finally, she spoke.
"Did I mention that I'm always sick on planes?"
"No, but you should've"-James looked at her worriedly-"What are you going to do on this long flight?"
"Sleep, hopefully. The pills can kick in any minute now"-Emmy rested her head on his shoulder-"Can I use you as a pillow?"
"Sure"-James was about to say, when Emmy's phone rang. Emmy rolled her eyes and picked it up.
"What is it? I was about to sleep."
"Emmy, I need my best friend"-she heard Leah's voice from the other side.
"What happened? Were you crying?"-Emmy questioned, now wide awake.
"I think Logan and I broke up."
"What? How?"-Emmy gasped-"I mean, aren't you the powercouple? You were so in love with each other..."
"Would you listen to me?"-Leah interrupted her-"Logan kissed another girl last night. She was just a fangirl and I know she didn't mean anything to Logan, but I got mad and left."
"Son of a bitch"-Emmy hissed. The passangers turned into her direction-"Stop staring, I'm on the phone!"
"But I still love him"-Leah continued, sobbing-"And I don't know what to do."
"Kick his fucking ass! Nobody messes with my best friend, especially not a geek like him! Or you know what? Kiss a guy right in front of him, see how he reacts. And then you'll be quits and you can get back together."
"I don't think that's a good idea"-James shook his head.
"Nobody asked you"-Emmy scolded him-"So, what do you say, Leah?"
"I'm not getting advice from you ever again. You're my best friend and all, but you're a bit crazy. Or maybe you're just grumpy, because I interrupted your sleep."
"She's always like that"-James waved his hand.
"What did you just say?"-Emmy raised an eyebrow.
"I was just kidding, baby"-James put an arm around her.
"I'll call you back, Leah, I have to kill someone"-Emmy hung up-"You're in very big trouble, James Diamond."
"Hey, I'm the pillow, remember? Plus your grumpiness is one of the many things I love about you"-James flashed an irresistable smile at her.
"If you think that flirting with me is going to help... then you're absolutely right"-Emmy put her head back on James' shoulder and closed her eyes-"Wow, why do I sound like I'm in slow motion?"
"Must be the pills."
An eternity and five sleeping pills later, they arrived to their hotel in Caorle. Emmy dropped her bags and looked out the window.
"I want to live in a house like that"-she pointed at a mediterranean house opposite them.
"From where I stand, I can see an old couple having sex"-James grimaced.
"Thanks for ruining my view!"-Emmy yelled out-"Go back to your siesta!"
"You're going to get us kicked out of here"-James closed the window.
"Italians are loud, they can't even hear each other from the inarticulate shouting. Plus I don't think that old couple understood what I said"-Emmy shrugged.
"Just ignore them from now on. How about we go to the beach?"
"I say: clothes off, swimsuits on."
*On the previous day in Las Vegas*
After Emmy gave her blessings, Carlos immediately jumped into his car, ready to get Mama Panya for good. But instead of the usual four hour ride, he suffered eight hours on the road because of an accident. So it was 10 PM, when he knocked on the Stone family's door.
"What are you doing here?"-David furrowed his eyebrows.
"I came here to tell you that you don't deserve Mama Panya. You don't make her happy anymore, your marriage is dead, the only person keeping it together is Emmy"-Carlos crossed his arms.
"You know nothing about our marriage or this family. You're only saying these things because you have an unhealthy obession with my wife. So I'm telling you right now: don't make a fool of yourself, boy, and get out of here before I call the cops"-David was about to slam the door on him, when Carlos stopped him.
"Can't you see how miserable Panya is? She told me that having to decide between her family and me is killing her. Because family is everything to her, but she's not in love with the one whom she made this family with. And I'm just as miserable without her."
"That's right"-Mama Panya appeared next to David-"You were my first love, Dave, and as much as I wanted you to be the last, the craziness that went down with Emmy last year made me realise a lot of things. She lied to us, because she didn't wanna disappoint us, she got away from her problems, she made mistakes and continously suffered because of them... I don't want to go through the same because I'm in love with the wrong person."
"You're in love with me?"-Carlos blinked.
"I am and I don't want to have to lie anymore."
"I'm in love with you, too"-Carlos smiled, then turned to David-"Is that enough proof for you that we're meant to be together?"
David sighed.
"After the tragedy our family's been through, I thought we were growing closer, Panya. But I realised that all of this just made you numb and I wanted to do something to make you happy again, but Carlos did it instead. And that's why you should be with him."
"I don't know what to say"-Mama Panya's expression softened.
"Don't say anything, I'll just leave you two at it."
And with that, he went back inside. Carlos took Panya by the hand.
"Are you okay?"
"I've never been happier"-she kissed him-"I love you, Carlitos."
"Did you hear it, Vegas?"-Carlos shouted-"Mama Panya loves me!"
"Shut up!"-a neighbour's voice echoed in the night.
*Present time in Los Angeles*
After the not so pleasent phone call with Emmy, Leah decided to take a walk to clear her head and Palmwoods Park was the ideal place to do that. So that's how it feels to be broken hearted, she thought to herself, I never imagined that someone who could make me feel so happy could hurt me so bad. I want to hate Logan for what he did, but I can't.
"Hi, Leah. Can I join you?"
"Sure"-Leah gestured at Nicole.
They walked in silence for a few minutes, then Nicole spoke.
"We're pretty similar, don't you think? We both got our hearts broken by a Big Time Rush member. Don't you think we should team up?"
"What do you mean by team up?"
"We're always expected to forgive whatever bullshit the guys put us through, we should avange that"-Nicole suggested.
"I don't think that's a good idea, Nicole"-Leah disagreed-"Look, I get that you're mad at James for dumping you for Emmy, but you have to admit he's so much happier with her. If you truly love him, don't ruin his life. And about Logan and me... I think there's a chance we can talk it out. Yeah, I'm going to do exactly that. Bye!"
"You might not avange anything, but I will"-Nicole stated, but Leah had already run off.
Kendall's pep talk was interrupted by an impatient knock on the door.
"It must be Leah"-he patted Logan's shoulder-"Don't ruin this."
"After this pep talk, I'm sure I won't"-Logan reassured him-"Thanks, dude."
Kendall nodded, then disappeared in his room. Logan took a deep breath and opened the door.
"Hey."
"Hi. I was hoping we could talk."
"Me too"-Logan relieved-"Come in."
"I'm sorry"-Leah started-"What you did was wrong, but I overreacted a bit. I said awful things to you and I just wish I could take them back, especially the one about..."
"Don't apologise, everything you said was true"-Logan cut her off-"I was unfair to you in many ways, so you have every right to hate me. But I know I messed up and I also wish I could just take everything back. And I might be foolish, but I was hoping that we could continue where we left off."
"Before you cut me off, I was just about to say that I didn't mean to break up with you"-Leah put her arms around his shoulder-"So we're good?"
"Of course we are"-Logan grinned and leaned close to her.
"You may now kiss the bride."
"Jeez, Kendall!"-Leah put her hand on her heart-"You scared me."
"I didn't mean to, I just thought I'd take Emmy's place and interrupt your romantic moments while she's away"-Kendall joked.
"Nobody asked for this"-Logan rolled his eyes-"What's next? You're going to walk in on us having sex?"
"Logan!"-Leah's face turned red.
"I can see you're back to normal, so I'm out of here"-Kendall lowered his voice-"You can do whatever you want, I won't be back anytime soon."
He winked, then waved goodbye.
"So"-Logan cleared his throat-"Should we take Kendall's advice?"
"Shut up, Hortense!"-Leah chuckled, before pushing him on the sofa.
