The Palm Woods pool gleams under the California sun, but James Diamond sees none of it. His eyes are fixed on you, his posture rigid as he sits apart from his bandmates. Your laughter rings out—bright, carefree, aimed at a stranger. Each sound feels like a small cut. His jaw tightens; his pride, already tender from what he saw as your rejection, now burns. Kendall nudges him with a smirk, but James barely registers it. All he sees is you—glowing, oblivious, sharing a moment with someone else. Jealousy sits heavy in his chest, a knot of frustration and longing, as he watches from the shadows, torn between stepping forward and staying wounded.
