I hope you guys don't hate me for this one, it might be a bit sad... I think this one is sad. It's sad. I mean, just look at the song!

There's a light in the dark
Still a flicker of hope that you first gave to me
That I wanna keep
Please don't leave

Kendall Jenner's mind

(2:46 PM Sunday)


"Keep running, Kendall, we'll lose it soon," Nick yelled over his shoulder at me. 

He was still holding my hand with a tight grip, making it almost impossible for us to break apart, which was probably also why I kept getting dragged sometimes.

"Can you slow down—?" I pleaded as my legs muscles started to ache. We have been running for a good ten minutes from this thing, and I am positive we have lost Gi and the others.

"We can't, Kendall, you know we can't," Nick said, breathlessly.

Yet he still stopped and pulled me onto his back with a loud grunt and stopped abruptly for a minute, making me pant, draping my arms around his neck tiredly.

"Just try to keep your legs up," he said, still panting. "I'm a short man, your long legs cannot be lifted off the ground."

I couldn't help but smile to myself and I laid my head at the crook of his neck. Even if he was sweating, it was still so mesmerizing to feel that satisfying breathing of his.

After a second, I thought we had actually also lost the monstrous flesh-eating monkey that was about to eat us or rip us to shreds, but when I turned around, there were two of them.

I let out a yelp and smacked Nick's chest repeatedly with my draped long arms, "Go, go, go! There are two of them now— you gotta run!"

Nick let out a yell of frustration and started to scramble through the woods. The sunlight was streaming through the tall trees, leaving little rays of sunlight to enter the thick layer of leaves.

I glanced back and quickly turn to Nick, "Oh, you really gotta speed up, they're kind of catching up—"

There was a quick lurch and I felt myself flying forward, at a tree. I let out a groan as I felt my stomach, and my whole body hit the ground with an odd thump.

I heard a thump from behind me and guessed that Nick had also fell, but the pain that was starting to inch in every part of my body was really starting to block everything on my mind.

My baby.

That was all I could think about. 

It was all my fault, I should not have come as he said. What could have Zayn done? What was going to happen to me if Nick wasn't there to pull me out of the gorilla's reach?

You'd be dead, probably.

Yeah, and it would all be my fault.

"Kendall! Kendall— God, please don't be dead!" Nick's voice was crying out somewhere out of my subconscious. 

Yet I couldn't seem to cry back out to him. To tell him that I was sorry. To say that everything was my fault. From the beginning.

It was my fault that we were broken apart in the first place.

It was also my fault that he had to go through so much shit.

It was my fault that everything is so horrible between the both of us.

He had always been the one trying to make everything better.

"Kendall, please... Wake up... Everything's going to be my fault if you're dead... Please don't die..."

Everything would be my fault if you feel like everything is your fault...

"I'm so sorry..." Nick continued, his voice getting slightly closer.

There were indistinct voices coming closer as well. They were muffled panicked voice, and at that moment I abruptly sucked in a breath, fluttering my eyes open to see Nick and Zayn hovering over me.

"Oh my God, Kendall, you're alright!" Nick said, exasperatedly, helping me up. "You seriously have no idea how worried—"

"Kendall, I'm so sorry, babes, I really wish I hadn't been such a dick," Zayn said, slightly pushing Nick away, making him narrow his eyebrows.

We were back at the car, and I was sitting down on the road.

I looked down at my knees, which were bandaged.

"What happened?" I said blankly, ignoring Zayn's apology.

"We fixed you up," Nick said. "But not all the way up because there were things I didn't understand, like the fact that you were... bleeding."

I squinted, "You didn't understand why I was bleeding?"

Nick facepalmed himself, "No, I understood why you were bleeding normally, but like, there was blood, mixed with water, coming out of your... you know, that stuff was not coming out of a cut or something—"

"You mean I broke my water!?" I said alarmingly, grabbing him by the scruff of the neck.

He blinked stupidly, but gulped, nodding, "We're trying to get the ambulance, and Joe's trying to jumpstart Zayn's car—"

"I don't care about jumpstarting—"

"Just leave me out here, Joe, Gigi, and I will try to get the car to start working," Zayn said, turning to Nick suddenly, making me narrow my eyes. Was he saying what I think he was saying?

Nick also turned to Zayn, "You want me to take her—"

"Yeah, I want you to take her to the hospital," Zayn said, calmly. "You don't think I saw how you held her back in the clearing? I heard what you said to her, man... You deserve her more than I do."

Nick's mouth opened and closed stupidly, making me wanna slap him in the face for not embracing the fact that Zayn had just handed him over to me.

Zayn sort of knew that there was nothing Nick wanted to say, so he got up and made his way towards the Jeep.

"You guys might want to hurry," Zayn called when we hadn't budged.

I couldn't say I was happier. But what was wrong with Nick's face anyway? He literally has his mouth open and staring at Zayn like he was so... important or something.

"Hey, is there something wrong?" I said, touching Nick's shoulder.

He turned to me, "What? Yes, there are a lot of things that are wrong, but right now, I need to take you to the hospital. Come on, I wouldn't be 'The best boyfriend ever' if I didn't take you to a hospital straight away in a situation like this, right?"

I couldn't help it, so I grabbed his face and pull him in for a kiss, making him quite surprised, but he kissed me back, his hand finding its way to the back of my head.

There was a pain from the bottom of my stomach, making my worries go back to the baby and the broke away from the kiss.

"Ow, OK, you go be the best boyfriend ever," I said, groaning. 

Nick cringed, "Right, sorry, got carried away..."

He picked me up, bridal style, and made his way to the car.

I caught Joe's eye and he sent me a wink. I couldn't help but think back to ages ago when he leaned in and said to me; "Soul mates, I'm tellin' you."
