Once Upon a Fairy Tale (A Kendall Schmidt Fanfic)

Chapter 5....Surprise, I'm back.....

I wake up in a sudden jump with the sunrise reflecting through the window and hitting me in the face. My eyes don't want to open and it takes a lot of work just to get my eye lids to flinch. Once they open I realize I'm not in my own bed. As I look around, I find it's Kendall's room. Then I remember why I was here. I move the sheets away and plant my feet on the floor. I stand up and began walking, and then it all hits me. My knees go weak, my back feels stiff, my head is pounding like I have a hangover and worst of all it feels like someone is stabbing me in my side. I manage to get to the bathroom and find some kind of pills to take for the pain. I turn around and turn the shower knob on. My body is in need for a shower. As I remove my shirt, which I find is Kendall's, there's a huge red stain on my left side, the side where I had all the bruises. In the middle there was a deep gash. My eyes grow huge as I see my body wasn't lying when it said it felt like it had been stabbed. I turn the water off and run down stairs. If I had a knife wound that meant Isaac was here and Kendall was missing.

I stubble to the kitchen and start looking for clues of where Kendall is; no clues. Shit okay, I'll call the cops. I dig through the couch till I find my phone and unlock it. I let of a sigh of relief when I see a voice mail and a text message from Kendall.

To: Lauren

From: Kendall

Hey Lauren I know I promised I'd stay with you today, but I got a call from the studio saying I needed to come in. I'll catch up with you later so keep your phone near you. Text me when you wake and let me know you fine. Can’t wait to hear your voice love.

The voice mail pretty much said the same thing. I look down at my side and it still has blood pouring out of it. I grab a towel of the washing machine and hold it to my side. I look back at my phone and know that I need to reply to him, but I can't tell him this happened. I know Isaac and if I tell, he'll be dead before I would.

To: Kendall

From: Lauren

Hey Kendall don't worry about me I'm fine. I'll keep my phone close by. Have a great day at the studio!

I plant my phone down on the coffee table and stand up. I slightly tear the towel from my side and seize in pain. I know I should probably get it looked at but then questions would be asked and I know its best just to keep this quiet. My mind starts scattering things and I want to know how he did it without me knowing. Was I that passed out to not feel a knife? Then I start thinking harder. If Kendall was here when he did it then he would have noticed or heard, so it had to be after he left. If it was after he left then, he could still be here…..

Just then I heard footsteps on the wooden stairs. My eyes plead at the thought that he's here and I'm alone. Kendall wouldn't come to my rescue this time and if I tried to run he'd only catch me. If I went for my phone he'd only stop me. It took all the guts I had to speak but I don't have much choice.

"What do you want with me?" I heard his boots hit the last stair and I saw his shadow turn the corner. My back is to him but I could tell by the shadow it was him. His height, the long hair, then as he got closer, his strong cologne. He gets close to me, so close that he's only inches from my back. His hand comes to my neck and moves the hair off my shoulder. He steps closer. I feel his breath on my neck as he speaks.

"I want you" I want to cry but I have to keep it in. If he sees I'm weak it will become easy for him to lure me to his discretion. He presses his lips on my neck and I stutter at the touch. Just a week ago I loved when he did this now I feel like he's a stranger. His hands wrap around my naked waist.

"Then why did you do this?" I whisper as I take his hand and trace it over the cut and the purple bruises.

"Oh baby you know it's because I love you" he spins me around and pulls me against him.

"Come with me" he whispers as he kisses my neck.

"No" I let out. He stops kissing me and my heart begins to pound faster as if it was about to fly out my chest. He lets go of me. I back up to the wall as soon as I'm out, feeling as if it could protect me, even if I know it won't. He takes one step closer and anger tense seems to flare though him.

"Did you say no?" my breath quickens as I shake my head yes.

"Is it because of him?" he yells and gestures to his things. He picks up one of Kendall's shirts of the floor.

"Do you love him now?"

"Leave him out of this Isaac" I scream at him. He pounces at me and pins me against the wall.

"Why should I? He gets you and I get nothing? Now I don’t think that's fair" I become angry. Kendall has done nothing but save me and I wasn’t going to let him get hurt now.

"He wants to love me and all you want with me is kill me" he loosens his grip from my shoulders.

"Oh no baby girl, you've got it all wrong. I'm not going to kill you. I might if you stay with him but then I'd be doing you a favor because you wouldn’t have to deal with the loss of his death. If you go with me you'd be living a good life. We'd have a nice house on the coast, with some kids. Then after you've lived the peacefulness you want you'd magically disappear. You see no hurt done."

"Don’t you dare touch him"

"Then come with me" I steady my breathing and realize no matter my decision, I would die. If I stayed here there would be two deaths but I go there'd only be one.

"Okay" I breathe out. He loosens his tension and I know I couldn’t run now.

"Good" he smiles.

"Only on one condition" he raises his eyebrow.

"You let me tell him goodbye, I'll meet you back at my house and then you can take me where ever you want" I plead at my answer. I need to at least see his face one more time. I needed to make him think I was okay because if I just disappeared he'd be in danger for trying to find me. Isaac's eyes narrow down on mine.

"Okay, but no funny business Lauren, I've got this place surrounded. Be back by 9 tonight then we'll leave to New Jersey where we belong" I shake my head yes at him. He comes forward and his lips press on mine. I don’t kiss back. He pulls away and walks to the door. As he shuts it I sit down on the couch and think of what just happened. What did I just get myself into. But most of all how am I going to convince Kendall I was leaving and I wasn’t being forced. I couldn’t let him know Isaac was behind it. I had to tell Kendall I didn’t love him anymore……..
