Big time breakthroughWords: 18303

Chloe and Kendall were still in shock as Chloe walked away from Kendall as he pointed to Jo "you're in New Zealand filming a movie..three movies." Kendall told her gesturing to her as he kept looking from Jo to Chloe "well, the studio tested the first film, and the test audience hated it, then burned down the theater. Then the studio canceled the sequels, and then I came here." Jo told them as Kendall just stood there while Chloe looked to her "nice to see you but.." Chloe told her as she walked over to the buttons going up as the elevator door closed.

The elevator door stopped on Kendall's floor while Chloe got out and started speed walking to the stairs as Kendall followed "Chloe! Come on! Talk to me!" Kendall told her as Chloe opened the door to the stairwell sighing "I'll see you when you make a decision." She told him walking away to her apartment as Kendall sighed but then his eyes went wide hearing the elevator as he ran to his apartment.

"So you get that date with Chloe?" James asked as Kendall quickly ran into the locker near the door climbing in it as Logan and James watched as Carlos came through the door "guess what was banned in all 50 states but I got the last two bottles of." Carlos told them "please don't show us." Logan told him as he pulled out the bottle "zom b gone." He told them.

"Tell me you didn't by that from that stupid late night commercial." James asked him as both him and Logan began making zombie sounds "go ahead mock but when the zombie apocalypse hits stay away from my zomb b gone." Carlos told them as they held there hands up turning to go put it in the safe, finding Kendall in there.

"I'm not here. You haven't seen me. You don't know where I am." Kendall told them as Jo then walked up to the door and all of there eyes went wide "hey guys." She told them as they all looked at her "Jo." James and Logan said "you're back." Carlos said shutting the locker "I'm, uh, looking for Kendall." She asked looking in the apartment.

"He's not here." Carlos told her "I haven't seen him." Logan told her "we don't know where he is." James told her "oh, okay. Well, if you see him, tell him I'm around." Jo told them as they all looked at her "of course, yeah." They all said as she left and Carlos quickly shut the door leaning against it "I got problems."

Kendall told them through the locker.

Chloe was laying on her couch as a knock came at her door as she groaned getting up to answer it and when she opened it Lucy was there which made the girl furrow her brows "what are you doing here?" Chloe asked as the girl smiled "well, if I recall, we're like best friends and I heard through the Palm Woods a girl named Jo is back, So I'm here to keep you company. Till Kendall makes his decision and I'll be here for whichever he chooses and I brought snacks." She told her as Chloe moved out of the way as she walked in both girls getting comfy on the couch with blankets and pillows as Lucy put a movie in.

Kendall was still hiding but this time under the couch cushions "okay, you know you can't just hide from your problems." Logan told him as Kendall popped up "yes, I can." Kendall told him as the apartment door opened revealing Camille "aha! I knew you were in here! How could you avoid Jo, who you dated, and Chloe who you had been dating for a good while now, but Jo came back and saw you kissing Chloe. Who you technically know better then Jo, who you didn't know was coming back, and...wow. No wonder you're avoiding them." Camille told them.

"And confused. You forgot confused." Kendall told her as Logan held his hands out "which means you have to figure out your problem. Like, does Jo even want to take you back?" Logan told him as Camille looked at him "she does. She told me." Camille told him as Logan looked to her "she does?" He asked as she nodded her head "mm hmm." She told him.

"Okay, then, do you still like Jo? You guys have been apart for a long time, and you love Chloe." Logan told him as Kendall held his arms out "I haven't even thought about that. I guess I don't know if I still have feelings for Jo." Kendall told him as Logan nodded his head "okay, well, then, let's figure it out. Take a deep breath. Imagine you and Jo are running through fields of flowers..." Logan told him as Kendall looked at them "yeah, I still like her." Kendall told them as Camille and Logan's eyes went wide as they looked to each other.

Lucy and Chloe had finished a bunch of horror movies as she got up "okay, I'll be right back, I'm gonna go get the musicals and some more snacks and I'll be right back, promise." Lucy told her as Chloe laughed as the girl quickly walked out of the room as Chloe got up to get more of her drink which was when she looked at her necklace sighing.

Logan, Camille and Kendall were all standing at the door now "okay, so we now know your problem. You have to make a decision." Logan told him as Camille looked to him "do you stay with Chloe or get back with Jo?" Camille told him as he lowered his head "and how do we solve these problems?" Logan asked "you run from them." Kendall told them as Logan turned his head "no. You confront them.. head on." He told him as Camille went to open the door as Logan pushed him out of it.

Lucy was walking down the hallway with her bowl of new snacks and her films while she walked into Kendall in the hallway and furrowed her brows "if your planning on talking to Chloe with Jo in the same room, think again, she is fragile and your gonna break her and when you do I'll be the one there to pick up the pieces and you'll be nothing." She told him as she began walking towards the stair well "have fun deciding." She told him walking away as Kendall stood there eyes wide as he then ran into some random guys building as he saw Jo down the hallway.

When Lucy reached Chloe she was packing her stuff as her eyes went wide "no, no, no. What are you doing?" Lucy asked as Chloe looked to her "what does it look like I'm doing?" She asked confused since the girl had eyes "you can't leave!" Lucy told her nodding her head "yes, I can, Gustavo said I'm free to move back in any time I feel like and right now, I do. So, if you wait here. I'll be back, I'm gonna go tell the boys I'm leaving." Chloe told her as she walked out the door, Lucy put down the movies and snacks sitting on her couch "maybe she could give me her apartment? There are two bedrooms." She thought.

Making it to the second floor Chloe knocked on the door as Camille and Logan answered "okay, since it's just one of you this is gonna be way easier." Chloe told him laughing as both of them looked at her "what's gonna be easy?" Logan asked worried "Um, well, I'm leaving the Palm Woods." Chloe told them as Logan and Camilles jaws dropped.

"You're going away!" Logan yelled as he then saw Kendall at the door as he moved to the side, So, Chloe couldn't see him "look..I don't wanna be a second choice and he probably is gonna choose Jo and I don't wanna be around to see it. It'll just hurt to much, all over again. So, if I don't hear from him by tonight. I'm gonna give him back the necklace and move out." Chloe told them as Camille and Logan looked to each other as none of them could see Kendall's shocked face in the hallway as Chloe turned walking back to her apartment not seeing Kendall who ran in shutting the door.

"She's leaving the PalmWoods?" Kendall asked as they all looked at him "it's bad!" Logan told him as someone knocked on the door as Kendall looked through it seeing Jo "it's Jo." He whispered "locker!" Logan and Camille yelled as he ran inside it while Logan shut it answering the door.

"Hey. Sorry we haven't seen him." Camille and Logan told her as she sighed "I guess I made a mistake. Thinking we could just pick up where we left off. Just tell Kendall, if I don't hear from him by tonight, then I'm gonna leave the PalmWoods." Jo told them as Kendall banged the locker as Logan coughed as him and Camille looked to each other then back to Jo.

When Chloe walked back into her apartment Lucy was there as she laughed pressing play on the CD player as Chloe furrowed her brows as Lucy started singing and dancing around.

"Don't need a king

I got my crown

Don't need a hero to lift me off the ground

I built this heart

It's beating loud

Won't let no bad blood ever bring us down

Keep flying higher

Fight like a fighter

What if I'm everything that I will ever need?

A queen messiah

A strong survivor

Even the worst days won't get the best of me

She then opened the apartment door as she pulled Chloe out of her apartment as they started walking to stair well as she through her arm around her as she continued to sing.

'Cause I was born to be brave

I know who I am inside

And I won't apologize

Made my mistakes

And they gave me wings to fly

To my castle in the sky

They then reached the lobby as Lucy helped Chloe stand one of the lobby's tables as everyone watched as she sang.

I used to feel

Like I was lost

It's like my phone's navigation was turned off

But it's the road

I stumbled on

Lucy then helped her back down as they started dancing and everyone else in the lobby seemed to be getting into it as well as Bitters wasn't there to yell at anyone.

That led me right to the place where I belong

Keep flying higher

Fight like a fighter

Yeah, I am everything that I was meant to be

A blazin' fire

That's getting brighter

Don't need nobody here that don't believe in me

And that's when everybody in the lobby ran out into the pool following Lucy and Chloe as they continued to sing.

'Cause I was born to be brave

I know who I am inside

And I won't apologize

Made my mistakes

And they gave me wings to fly

To my castle in the sky

Camille even soon ran up to them singing along as everyone by the pool started dancing.

Let my hair down and let it go

No more running, I run this show

Way up here, yeah, the view is gold

Born to be brave

Now I'm standing miles high

Like castles in the sky

Chloe and Lucy then ran over to everyone trying to get everyone up who wasn't dancing yet as they continued to sing.

Bosses and queens, stand up on your throne

Know who you are, this is your kingdom

Legends at heart, individuals

Go make your mark, be original

Then there was a dance break where everyone started dancing and laughing. But soon the singing came back in as everyone continued to dance.

'Cause I was born to be brave

I know who I am inside

And I won't apologize

Made my mistakes

And they gave me wings to fly

To my castle in the sky

Let my hair down and let it go

No more running, I run the show

Way up here, yeah, the view is gold

'Cause I was born to be brave

Now I'm standing miles high

Like castles in the sky

Everyone soon went back to what they were doing as Chloe and Lucy finished the song.

Like castles in the sky

Both girls laughed, throwing arms around each other as they walked back into the Palm Woods to go finish there snacks and movies.

During all the dancing though Logan was trying to do love science before the dance ruined the plan in which he told Kendall to run away which was why he was sitting in front of Rocque Records as Katie walked over "hey, Big Brother." She told him as he looked up "hey, baby sister. What are you doing here?" Kendall motioning to Rocque Records.

"Oh, I just ran Rocque Records." Katie told him as his eyes went wide "what are you doing here?" She asked "I just ran from two girls who are both amazing and..I don't know what to do." Kendall told her as Katie looked at him "you know you can't run from your problems."

She told him as he looked to her "they also don't go away on their own or get fixed with love science. So I'm not sure how to solve it." Kendall told her as she through her hands out "you walk." She told him as he raised his eyebrows "what do you mean walk?" Kendall asked.

"Clears the head." Katie told him as Kendall pointed to his head "yeah, but my head won't tell me what to do." Kendall told her "of course not but your heart will lead you to where you need to go. But just remember if you don't choose Chloe, I won't talk to you for a few days." Katie told him as he got up for his walk.

"I'll love you, if you ain't got nobody to love

And girl I'll adore you, if there's no one to adore

And I'll show you, if there's no one to show

And I'll know you, if you want somebody to know

Every time you come around

You put a lightning bolt on my face

Baby, everytime you come around

Girl, you take my breath away

And I just wanna breathe until I take you in

'Cause I want you to breathe until you take me in

Kendall then walked passed a bunch of young girls watching a Chloe music video in a store with dolls in there hands, with blonde wigs on.

But the truth is

She has no idea, no idea

That I'm even here, I'm even here

She has no idea, no idea

I'm standing here, I'm standing here

I'm standing here

I'll kiss you, whenever you want to be kissed

He then walked by a blonde girl on the street as he took a double take thinking she was Chloe at first.

How I miss you two seconds after you leave screaming "Come back to me, come back to me"

Let me please you, let me see you, let me take that heart of yours

And I'll be whatever you need me to be, the good guy, bad guy, just tell me baby

Every time you come around

You put a lightning bolt on my face

Baby, everytime you come around

Girl, you take my breath away

And I just wanna breathe until I take you in

'Cause I want you to breathe until you take me in

He then passed a Chloe billboard.

But the truth is

She has no idea, no idea

That I'm even here, I'm even here

She has no idea, no idea

I'm standing here, I'm standing here

I'm standing here

Please tell me you can heal me

I'm expressing my love

Won't stop till I get you

I'm not letting up

I'm running to your heart

Like a kid in a store

Take every ounce of love

And beg you for more

And beg you for more

She has no idea, no idea

That I'm even here, I'm even here

She has no idea, no idea

I'm standing here, I'm standing here

I'm standing here."

Kendall then walked into the Palm Woods as Chloe stopped him though before he could go any further "us being together sounded like a good idea at first but you know the world keeps spinning, plans change, people change. And Jo being back seemed to bring back a lot of memories for you, so go back to her and just forget about me." Chloe told him trying to walk away as he stopped her.

"No,no, you said I get to make the decision, I'm still me and I care about you." Kendall told her as she looked at him "getting jealous everyday since we got back from tour, not even being able to ask me on a proper date until your ex girlfriend comes back, if that's you it's good to know." Chloe told him as she went to walk around him as he walked in front of her again.

"You know that's not who I am, everything just got so complicated." Kendall told her as she sighed throwing her hands in the air "but if you act like someone your not, the more that's who you become." Chloe told him as he looked at her "I meant what I said about how your amazing and that I love you and just wanting to be with you." Kendall told her as she through her head back.

"I'm sure you did in the moment but I also meant what I said, I won't be a second choice." Chloe told him as he looked at her as she started to sing.

"I gotta say what's on my mind

Something about us

Doesn't seem right these days

Life keeps getting in the way

Whenever we try, somehow the plan

Is always rearranged

It's so hard to say

But I gotta do what's best for me

You'll be okay

I've go to move on and be who I am

I just don't belong here, I hope you understand

We might find a place in this world someday

But at least for now, I gotta go my own way

(Own way)

She let go of his hand as she walked away all the way up to her apartment which was empty of all her stuff except one bag since Lucy still was gonna stay there now.

Don't wanna leave it all behind

But I get my hopes up

And I watch them fall every time

Another color turns to gray

And it's just too hard to watch it all

Slowly fade away

I'm leaving today

She went to grab her bag but saw herself in the mirror and took of the necklace first as she held it in her hand grabbing her bag, and hugging Lucy as she walked out the door texting Kelly to come pick her up.

'Cause I gotta do what's best for me

You'll be okay

She then was walking in the PalmWoods lobby as she was heading outside to wait for Kelly to arrive .

I've got to move on and be who I am

I just don't belong here, I hope you understand

We might find a place in this world someday

But at least for now, I gotta go my own way

But what she didn't notice was that Kendall was running after her as they both stopped outside as she was waiting for Kelly, he began to sing.

What about us?

What about everything we've been through?

Chloe then turned to him as she continued to sing.

What about trust?

She was walking closer to Kendall as he was doing the same to her as he sang again.

You know I never wanted to hurt you

He held his arms out as Chloe grabbed his hand as she sang.

And what about me?

Kendall then sang as Chloe looked down at there hands as Kendall looked away.

What am I supposed to do?

Chloe then sang again as he pushed her hair out of her face as she let go of his hands and turned away as Kendall put his arms around her.

I gotta leave but I'll miss you

So, I've got to move on and be who I am

(Why do you have to go?)

They then broke apart as Chloe looked at him as both of them were singing.

I just don't belong here, I hope you understand

(I'm trying to understand)

We might find a place in this world someday

But at least for now (I want you to stay)

I wanna go my own way

A car honked as Chloe continued to sing as she back away from Kendall who was shaking his head as she began running away towards the car not looking back as he stood there.

I've got to move on and be who I am

(What about us?)

I just don't belong here, I hope you understand

(I'm trying to understand)

Chloe then reached the car as she was abotry to get in but she looked back at Kendall as he looked at her.

We might find a place in this world someday

But then he looked from her as she got into the car to the necklace in his hand.

But at least for now, I gotta go my own way

I gotta go my own way

I gotta go my own way."

He watched the car drive off as he then headed back into the PalmWoods.
