Once Upon a Fairy Tale (A Kendall Schmidt Fanfic)

Chapter 10... Till we meet again....

Kendall's POV....

I catch her back as she walks away from me. I have to take in exactly what she told me. She was really there this time, wasn't she? She really talked to me, didn’t she? I couldn’t be imagining this, could I? In our normal world I could touch her, Take her around the city not worrying about who would see us. But then again that was before he came along. She turns the corner into Powerhouse. A young boy sleeks up next to her and spins her around. Blond hair and slim shoulders are the only distance I can make of him. As they hug she keeps her stare on my eyes; A look of guilt or confession. Who was this boy and why is she with him? He unhooks the hug and leans down to kiss her. He pulls her up to him and I notice she doesn’t kiss back. She's afraid I'm still watching I believe. I lure my body to the buildings wall so I'm not in her view anymore. They UN embrace and she looks back one last time as he leads her into the night club. I feel pain from her vacant stares. Was she cheating on Isaac? If she was, why couldn’t it be with me? What if when she told me she didn’t love me, she was lying?

                "I need a room" I say as I plant my credit card down on the front desk of the Wyndham Skyline Tower hotel. The man scans it and I'm on my way. I'm not ready to go up there yet. Instead I head to the bar and sit down. I order a drink and try to relax my head of her. I know she's been in it since she left but now she's burning new marks in my skull that I didn’t like. Things have always been different about her but there was nothing bad about it. I always loved the way she's been different. This different side of her I wasn’t fond of though.  She looks bad too. I've always known this women to be the most beautiful creature in my world. I see beautiful faces everyday but not a one could match up to hers. Now hers can't even match up. Make-up applied over make-up which is never the less not like her. Dark black eyeliner made her look slutty and I hate to say that but I love it when a girl is being herself. No make-up, sweats, you know?  just being herself. When she isn't like that around you something's wrong.

                I look at my phone and see it 10:30. Another thirty minutes and maybe I'll get an explanation. I take another swig and watch some of the game that's playing on the TV. I'm stricken when a figure grabs onto my shoulder. I spin and the person leans down to my ear. In a hush tone it speaks to me.

"Let's go" I smile when I hear her seductive voice. I get up and begin following her. We reach the elevators and I pull out my key to find out where we're going. She stays quiet until we reach the room. I slide the plastic card in the slot till the arrow flashes green. A man's voice lingers with a women's in the hallway and we both freeze. She recognizes it before I do and jumps inside the room. Her hands pull at my back as she pulls me in as well. She shuts the door and presses against it.

"Was that…" she nods.

"Why is he with a girl?" she shuts her eyes and I can tell she's thinking of a way to explain.

"He does it every other night…. It gives me a break from him though." She shakes her head and her eyes don't seem very bright. She's emphasizing she doesn’t care but I can see inside of that. It's painful for her even if she doesn’t want to say it. It's painful for anyone that's getting cheated on.  I guess an expression showed up on my face because she spoke before I could answer.

"I'm fine Okay?" a sudden bolt of anger strikes out of my chest.

"No you're not Lauren! I know you!... Or I did know you…" I take in a deep breath and step in closer to her. I reach out for her arms and she lets me take them this time.

"You're not telling me anything. You are not yourself" I linger on the lasts words. She knew it was the truth because she un attaches her eyes from mine as they grow red. She stares out the window behind us.

"I know Kendall…." I shake her a little but I wasn’t meaning to.

"Then tell me!" My voice cracks then. All of this I've been holding back for the past year was finally getting to me. Her eyes flare back to mine but she remains quiet.

"Lauren I can't keep waiting! I've held on for so long and I don't want to let go but I will!"

I shouldn’t have said the last word. I won't let go. I couldn’t let go.  She looks down at the ground and whispers out

"I'm sorry" I see a single tear fall down her cheek. I pick up her chin and wipe it away.

"You don't have to be. Please just tell me…" Our eyes are so serious now. Pain eats its way back into my chest. Her lips open and she finally speaks.

"Okay…."
