Chapter 12.

Kendall's POV

After Cara and I talked for another hour at Starbucks we decided to jog back to my house.

And let me say that our conversation was great. It wasn't awkward at all and it felt like we've known each other for a long time.

She's very kind and selfless. It makes me happy to know what a good person she is.

We walked out the building and started jogging. "Hey um Cara?" I said, "Yes?" "Would you like to stay with me while you're here?"

She was thinking about it for not even a full second, "Yea! Sure I would love to," she answered. I chuckled, "Ok great, so should I help you pack your things?"

"No that's fine Ken, I'll drive to your house. I just need to check out and I'll be on my way," "Alright."

Cara's POV

"I'll see you in a few," I said as we stopped in front of my hotel, "See ya later," she winked at me and carried on jogging.

I couldn't help but bite my lip and close my eyes to just process everything that happened today.

Today is literally the best day I've ever had in my 18 years of living. She makes me feel something else. There's no other person in this world that could make me feel like this.

Her presence is a blessing. Let's not forget her scent. Fuck she smells so good compared to me. I smell like trash.

Ok Cara, try to calm yourself down a bit. Go inside and take a shower. Get dressed into something easy and simple. Spray lots of perfume on your neck and wrists. Please don't forget the deodorant.

Pack your suitcase and check out. Simple. Don't be a dork and bring yourself down, cause if you do she'll notice and worry about you.

And you don't like it when people are worried about you. Just be you.

I walked back inside my room and immediately took a shower. I washed my hair and shaved my legs - including my armpits and other places. Now I feel satisfied.

I quickly wrapped my hair in a towel and grabbed an oversized hoodie and ripped white skinny jeans.

Shoes?.. "Whatever." I said and took out a pair of black slippers. I took my suitcase and threw everything in there.

I paced to my bathroom and took the towel off my head letting my hair bounce on my back. It was still wet. Fuck.

The hairdryer was given already so I turned it on and blasted it through my hair. Five minutes later it was dry. Good.

I double checked my room to see if I had forgotten anything. Nothing. I walk to the lobby and check out.

I look like a mess. I walk to my car and plop my suitcase in and start the engine. Now off to Kendall's house.

Kendall's POV

When I got inside I ran directly to the bathroom and ready the shower. I take off my clothes and throw it in the laundry basket, and when I mean throw it I mean throw it. I get into the shower and wash myself.

I got out and put my hair in a towel. I quickly walked to my room and into my closet. What am I gonna wear? Are we gonna go out tonight? Probably not, so I took out some black skinny jeans and an oversized hoodie.

I go back to the bathroom and blow dry my hair and spray on perfume and deodorant. My room was clean luckily. My parents aren't home but my sister is. I decided to tell Kylie who Cara was.

I walk to her bedroom and knock on the door, "Kylie? May I come in," I asked, "Yeah," she replied. I walk in and sit down on her bed, "Whats up," she said, "Um I just want to tell you something about someone,"

She sat up and looked at me giving me her full attention, "Who?" I gulped, "Her name is C-Cara and she's staying over," I was nervous talking about her, "Really? You've never spoken about her before, why only now?"

To be honest I don't even know, I just wanted to keep Cara for myself. I know it sounds selfish but that's just what you do when you're in love. My eyes widened at that thought and Kylie noticed.

"Um Kendall? Are you ok?" I smiled, knowing that I was happy on my thought, "I'm perfect Ky," "Doesn't look like it. You look like you're in love to be honest." "What no why would I be in love now?" I started to feel sad when I said that.

Why can't I just tell her? Because Kendall, she's homophobic and so are your parents. I furrowed my eyebrows as I was starting to get angry. Why do my parents have to be like this. "Yeah ok Kendall, just don't do anything stupid with boys. But you still didn't answer my question."

"Huh, what question?" "I asked why you only started talking about this Cara chick now." "Because I just kept on forgetting to tell you about her, that's all," I lied. "Ok." She replied.

I walked out of her room and to the kitchen. I got a glass of water and started getting nervous on the thought that Cara, the girl I've been talking to for such a long time, will be here any minute.

I heard a car pull in the drive way. She's here..

After watching a video of Kendall talking about her struggles with anxiety and sleep paralysis, it really struck me deeply. It made me very sad and devastated knowing that she isn't getting the sleep and rest she needs. But what makes me angry is the fact that her mother doesn't care about her health. Except all she thinks about is the money and fame. I understand Kendall's situation and if I were her friend, I'd do anything to make sure she's not scared of sleeping anymore. Ffs Kris, think about your daughter's health instead of fame.
