And So It Continues...(SEQUEL TO I FOUND YOU) *ON HOLD*

Chapter 22

Chapter 22

It's now been a week since Jackson and I broke up and everyone at school knows. So now it's magically 'okay' for me to date Adam. And dance is staring up again, we had to take a break from competition season because everyone was so busy that nobody could go to competitions.

I'm telling Mickey all of this as we walk around the mall with Caitlynn. "Are you gonna date Adam?" she asks. "Maybe...if he even likes me! I don't know that for sure." I chuckle. "I would do just to make Jackson jealous. But that's just me." She laughs.

"Hey, I have a question." She continues. "What?" I ask. "Okay, so I have to go away for a week. I'm leaving in about 2 weeks - it's for work. Anyway, I need someone to watch Caitlynn because my mother is coming with me." She drifts off, hoping I'll understand. "So you want Kendall and I to watch her?" I say, making sure I'm correct. "Yeah...." She says slowly. "I say yes, you just have to ask Kendall. - wait! Two weeks? Our spring vacation is in two weeks...." I look at her like 'tell the truth biotch'.

"Okay, so I'm going partying in Florida with some old friends and I don't want to leave her with my mom because she's getting sicker and older and can't keep up with a four - almost five - year old. But for now, we tell Kendall it's work." She explains. Hmmm....so she's leaving her kid with us so she can go party.... Eh I'll buy it. I breathe in deeply, "Okay, sure." I agree to this little deal. "Yay!" she squeals like a teenager and we continue to walk through the mall.

"We're back!" Mickey says as we enter the front door. "Hey girls." Kendall comes up from his small studio in the basement. I never told you about that? Eh, probably because I never go down there.

"Kendall, can I ask you a question?" Mickey says, and that was my cue to leave. But I stayed at the top of the stairs to listen. "Yes?" Kendall says nervously. "It's nothing bad. I'm just going away in two weeks for work and my mother is coming with me....I was wondering if you could maybe watch Cait?" she asks, a little scared of his answer. It's quiet, Kendall's probably thinking. "Sure, that's the kids' spring break anyway." He says. Yes!

I casually come back downstairs. "You were behind this too weren't you?" Kendall chuckles at me. "Psht, no." I joke.

The rest of the night we just hang out and watch TV.

2 weeks later

So Mickey brings Cait over on Sunday and Kendall is trying to get all this fun kid stuff for her to do. When I got home from dance he was 'child proofing' the house. "Geez, she's almost five, she's not gonna try and eat a candle because it's a pretty color." I chuckle, making fun of him. "I know, I just want to return Cait back to Mickey in one piece." Kendall finishes hiding all sharp objects. I roll my eyes, "It'll be fine." I lightly reassure him and go upstairs to my room.

I was listening to music when my phone started to ring.

"Hey Lily." I answer, stopping the blaring music. "Hey, are you going to dance boot camp this week?" she asks. So basically, every time there's a long vacation (over three days) my studio does a 'dance boot camp' which is just training for about 8 hours a day. "Yeah, what time is it tomorrow?" I ask her. "8 am to 5pm. But since you're going to be a senior dancer next season, you get to leave at 4 because I guess they think senior dancers don't need as much training." Lily sounds annoyed at the end.

"Okay, you wanna sleep over tonight?" I ask. "Yes! Be over in a couple." She says hurriedly and hangs up. I go over to my door and scream down to Kendall.

"LILY IS SLEEPING OVER TONIGHT. AND I HAVE DANCE BOOT CAMP FROM 8-4!" I could practically hear him sigh. He comes up the steps to me. "Really?" he sounds defeated and stressed. "I'm already stressed enough with the fact that I need to care for my girlfriends' child, and now you throw another one at me?" he finishes. That annoyed me.

"Uhm, she's only two years younger than me. Which means we are both perfectly capable of not being annoying and maybe even help you if you need it. Sorry to be such a bother." I say angrily and walk outside to wait for Lily.

We were practicing our acro skills in the back yard when Kendall called us in for dinner. When we got in there Cait was sitting at the table, coloring quietly. "Hey Cait!' I say excitedly. "Tessie!" she yells and runs over to me. "Gee, you weren't that excited to see me." Kendall jokes. Cait suddenly turns quiet again. Lily and I look at each other thinking the same thing: Cait doesn't like Kendall at all. We sit down and eat dinner, Cait dinner touch any of her food though.

"Are you not hungry?" Kendal asks her. She shakes her head no. Kendall sighs and takes all of the empty plates to the sink. "You guys stay here with her, I need to go out for a minute." Kendall picks up his keys and leaves the house.

"How about I make you something else?" I ask Cait. She nods her head and I take out the chicken nuggets I stash in the back of the freezer. Hey, what Kendal doesn't know won't hurt him. I heat them up and give them to Cait. She eats all I gave her, and I wash all the dishes. When I finished Kendall texted me. "Mickey said to give Cait a bath." Okay then. We take her upstairs and get her in. I sit by the tub and talk to her.

"So why don't you like Kendall?" I ask nicely. "I just don't. He tryin' to be like my new daddy, but I don't want a new daddy. And he treats me like I'm a baby." She pouts. For an older toddler, she's smart. "But he's really nice. I mean, sure he gets annoying sometimes - a lot of the time- he means well. And he cooks well. You missed out Cait." I joke, Lily laughs with Cait.

Kendall's POV

I went out to get some things T asked me to get for her and I went back home. I couldn't find the girls so I checked the bathroom just in time to hear Tessa's little speech to Cait. "But he's really nice. I mean, sure he gets annoying sometimes - a lot of the time- he means well. And he cooks well. You missed out Cait." After hearing that I went to the bottom of the stairs and acted like I didn't hear it. "Tess! I got you that dance stuff you needed!" I yell. She runs down the stairs and grabs the bag from me. "Thanks." She says and turns around. "Hey wait!" I take her arm and pull her into a hug. "Uhm hey?" she looks at me confused. "Hey, go finish with Cait." I let her go back upstairs.

Nah, she doesn't bother me.
