Beaten & Bruised

You will be 18!

We had finally made it to Georgia where we would be the next few days before the show ended and Kendall and I both agreed to get us a hotel room away from everyone since they were making such a big deal about us and the things we were doing on the bus.

James was absolutely fuming after he heard us talking about it. "what are you so mad about? You wanted us to get a room so we got a room!" I said sarcastically when Kendall walked up behind me and squeezed me on the breasts purposely in front of James.

James had already had enough of the way I was acting and the way Kendall was effecting me. You could tell he was stressed out but what more could he do.

"I don't fucking care anymore" James said throwing his hands up in the air and walking off.

"You ready to check in?" Kendall asked me when I put the last few things I had on the bus into my bag and we headed towards the hotel entrance.

Later on that day after Kendall and I had managed to get our hands off of each other long enough to eat he noticed I was seeming down so he asked me what was bothering me.

"I just feel bad, they are our friends" I said feeling really bad about what had been going on the past few months since we had started dating and only seemed to be worsening in their eyes.

Kendall looked at me with a dumb look on his face and flipped his food out of his bowel and managed to make it land on the floor below.
"So you suddenly think they have a point?" He asked giving me a crazy look I just kept shaking my head no, he clearly didnt understand what I was meaning and took it completely the wrong way. He grabbed both of my arms tightly and started to shake me as he yelled at me.

"Come on Trinity your not that stupid!" He said still shaking me, "Stop fucking listening to everyone else around you and second guessing our relationship!!! I'm getting sick of you making me feel like an idiot" he said finally letting go of me.

I just sat there for a moment shaking my head at everything he was saying I didn't want to make him anymore angrier than he was already. I really did need to quit making him look bad or stupid around people.

"Look I'm sorry. It just infuriates me that nobody can see how happy we are" he said bending down low and giving me a kiss on the lips.

"I know..... they don't understand us" I said giving him another kiss. When a haunting smile creeped over his face.

"What?" I asked wondering what he was thinking. "Your birthday is what next month?" He asked making me give him a wierd look.

"Yeeeaaaahhhhh?" I said drawing out my answer and cocking my head to the side with wonder.

"Let's get married!" Kendall blurted out of nowhere. I giggled a little bit, but he was serious. He had that glazed look in his eye and wasn't breaking his focus off of me.

"Your serious?" I asked feeling both a little excited about the idea and also scared as hell. "Your fucking right I am! You will be eighteen! That means they can't even try to keep us from on another."

He said having a good point and the way Trinity Schmidt sounded In my mind had a nice ring to it.

"Okay! Yes!" I repeated over and over while wrapping my arms around his neck. "But lets just do it by ourselves? No big fancy, extravagant wedding one that James will find out about when it's over " I said bloating with excitement I just hope we could keep it a secret long enough to go through with it before someone tried to stop us.

Later that night Kendall had passed out after the rehearsal for the next show and I was starving. I didn't want wake him so I left him a note and headed to the bus parked down the street for something to snack on. Logan and James were in the front playing a game and Carlos was asleep in the back.

"Well look who it is!" James said flashing me his sarcastic smile.
"Let me guess your hungry?" He said letting out a huff.

"Yes, can I get something to snack on?" I asked when James got up from his seat and Logan paused the game.

"Your a big girl now. You can take care of yourself so have your boyfriend get you something to snack on!" He said harshly and walked to the back of the bus.

"Really your going to be like that?" I yelled back at him. "I do still have stuff in the bus with my name on it" I added but he ignored me.

Logan put down his game controller and opened up the cabinet handing me the last big bag of his cheddar flavored Chex Mix. "Here" he said handing it to me and his TRL bag to borrow. I looked at him crooked and half way smiled.

"Thanks, James is being a little ridiculous" I said with a scoff, I didn't know it at the time but James was still near by listening to what I was saying.

Logan shrugged his shoulders and gave me a scensere look. "Look I'm not getting into the drama especially between brother and sister but maybe you should really just ease it up a little? The stress isn't good for anyone and he is just looking out for you" he said pressing his lips together.

I shook my head trying to keep my silence but it still upset me the way people were acting.
"Kendall is suppose to be y'alls bestfriend why cant you guys just let it be and let me be happy. He's a good person!" I said pleading with him he didn't say anything he just looked away.

"Especially you" I said to him before getting off the bus.
