Kendall brought some food over to join me in front of the fireplace, “Are you okay?” he questioned.
I tried to smile, “Yeah I will be okay. I just...”
He put his hand on my leg, “You just what?”
I got up and moved to the couch, “I just can’t handle the jealousy is all.” I tried not to make a big deal of it.
He smiled, “I told you that’s not me. I still have to adjust my attitude some. Living like that for so long has become a habit and I have to break it. Just trust me...”
I shook my head, “I want to so bad, Kendall but I just don’t know if I can. Its like my past repeating itself all over again. Its very scary.” He tried to pull me to him but I fight, “I need to talk to Carlos.”
The look on his face was anger but his words were sweet and loving, “I will get him for you.” and he disappeared.
He came back with Carlos. Carlos sat on the couch next to me and Kendall was practically standing over my shoulder. I turned to him, “Can you give us a little while?”
He hung his head slightly, “I will go talk to the guys while you two talk.” and he was out the door.
I turned to Carlos, “I can’t do this. Something isn’t right.”
Carlos pulled me to him and I put my head on his shoulder, “Your just freaking out. Its a lot to take in. Everything will work out. You will see.”
I pulled away, looking at him, “Carlos I’m telling you its just not right. He is really jealous of you. I don’t want things to end up the way they were before.”
Carlos pulled me back in, “It will never be like it was before. I swear to you (yn) you will NEVER be treated that way again. I will die first.”
His words were supposed to be comforting and they were to an extent but I couldn’t help but feel things didn’t need to get to that point and I was going to have to stop them before they did.
Carlos adds, “I have talked to him. He isn’t like that. He just wants to help. You need to stop comparing him to Jon. That would be a start.” His words hit home and were on the border of being mean but I know he is just trying to be straight with me.
“Carlos I’m not comparing him to Jon. He is nothing like Jon and I know that. I know he wants to help but I just don’t know...”
Carlos wrapped me up in his arms and I returned the embrace. ‘Its pointless to try to get through to Carlos and he knows all of my little tricks of running people off. I’m going to have to go about this in a totally different way.’ I thought to myself.
The door opened and I jumped out of instinct. Kendall was angry but tried to keep his cool, “You guys done?” and he walked past us into the kitchen.
I glanced at Carlos who laughed it off, “Yeah I think so.” and he disappeared out the door.
I sat there, trying to figure out exactly how to get out of this mess I have agreed to when Kendall sat down next to me, “Do you feel better?”
I tried to smile, “Yes. Thank you. I just needed my best friend is all.”
Kendall tried not to let it show that it bothered him, but I could tell it did. He put his arms around me and instead of feeling safe I could feel myself getting upset. ‘I have to figure out a way to get away from him.’ I thought and then said to him, “My stomach is bothering me. I’m going to take a bath.” and without hesitating I disappeared upstairs.
