My classes this week moved incredibly slow. I barely talk to my room mate or my best friend for that matter. The only person I talk to is Kendall. And I am completely okay with that.

I'd like to think I'm not mopping around about Annette and the fact that I had a chance to establish a relationship with her, but turns out I am. According to Kendall.

It was another Friday night, we were in Kendall's music room, he was tuning a couple of his guitars for a show this Tuesday. I was just sitting in his spinny chair by his desk while he sat on the couch in the room tuning them.

Neither of us had said anything for almost ten minutes now. That's when he spoke up,  "Neveah, I know you don't want to hear it but I think you are upset about Annette."

I deadpan, "Kendall, I fricken know."

I was being sarcastic and thankfully he picked up on that and chuckled. He went back to lightly strumming pretty chords.

"I know I said I didn't care but I guess I do. I mean this last week it's all I've been thinking about and I think it's because I had a chance to have something with her and I blew it." I sighed looking down at my hands in my lap. Kendall stopped playing immediately.

"No, you didn't, she did." He propped up the acoustic guitar on the wall beside the couch and turned his full attention to me.

I tilted my head and he continued. "Neveah, Annette blew it with you, and your dad for that matter, when she walked out on you. She didn't do it out of motherly instinct, to-to make money and provide for her family, she did it out of pure selfishness. I think I can tell when someone is lying through their teeth. And trust me, she was. I'm sorry babe but I need you to understand that she is toxic and you do not need to feel one ounce of sympathy for her or feel bad for not wanting her in your life."
It all came out in a desperate tone but in a caring way at the same time. I was blown away that Kendall actually had the guts to speak his mind about this. Normally he tries to stay out of it. I'm glad he didn't.

"I-" I honestly didn't know what to say about what had just come out of the boys mouth.

"I know, I guess I've always known that." I broke eye contact with him looking down at the one of Kendall's old song books in my hands.

"Good, you need to, I'm sorry if that offended you in anyway." He cooed from across the room. He picked up his guitar and went back to singing. Within the next two minutes he had started writing in a note book beside him.

I let my eyes lock on him, watching him intently. His hazel green eyes were brightly on fire with passion as he sang the first couple lines over and over. It seemed he started doubting himself. Normally I would say something but I was too fixated on watching his movements with the guitar and his facial expressions.

He never once glanced in my direction, I was happy he never caught me staring like he normally does.

Some how I found my legs carrying me towards him slowly. When I stood in front of him I turned slightly to the side and I put my hand on his shoulder and twirled a long lock on hair at the base of his head while waiting for him to catch my hint. After he was done singing the verse he looked at me.
His green eyes beamed up at me as he was trying to read what I was silently saying.

He then took off his guitar, set it down and looked back up at me. Without saying a word I sat sideways in his lap tangling my fingers in his hair. Just before our lips touched, "Wait, you aren't mad at me?"

I opened my eyes pulling back, my eyebrows furrowing. "No, wh-"
Then it hit me, "Kendall I'm not nor will I ever be, mad at your for speaking your opinion."

He breathes a sigh of relief beneath me before laughing, "That's what you say now,"

I sat further back, "What?"

"I'm just saying that's what you say now but I guarantee when I speak my opinion, at one point or another, you will get mad. Everyone does it. It's okay." He spoke extremely cautiously.

I stood up. "Uh okay. Whatever."

"No- I didn't mean it like that babe, I- " He began but I cut him off by speaking over him.

Walking towards the door I said, "Yeah okay, I'm gonna eat all your food now since you said that."

I strutted out the room intending on eating just about everything I can.

I heard him mumble something but I couldn't make it out. From the quiet, still kitchen I heard Kendall strumming pleasing chords and humming.

I really loved this boy already. And
it scared me because all good things must come to an end right?
