Danielle smiled as she rounded the corner and saw her best friends house. She sped up slightly as she neared it, not able to wait any longer. Driving into the drive way, Danielle parked and then cut the engine.
"Were here, Nicole; our new life starts today." Danielle whispered to her daughter with a smile.
Danielle got out of the car and walked over to her nine month old daughter, who was fast asleep in her infant car seat. A smile came to Danielle's face as she picked up her daughter out of the infant car seat, careful not to jostle her awake.
"Uncle Kendall will not be pleased that you are asleep after not seeing you in a while." Danielle said aloud as she walked up to the door to her best friend, Kendall Schmidt's, house.
Danielle rang the door bell, nerves pitting themselves in her stomach as she waited until he opened the door a minute later.
A smile broke across Kendall's face as he saw Danielle for the first time in months.
"My baby girl." Kendall said as he ushered Danielle into his house. Kendall gave Danielle a one armed hug on the side that she was not holding Nicole in.
"Kendar!" Danielle said with a smile as she returned the one arm hug. "It's so good to see you." Danielle gushed a bit as she smiled at Kendall.
"I could say the same, and when did Nicole fall asleep?" Kendall asked, disappointment evident in his voice because he could not hold her.
Danielle laughed at the change in his voice before replying. "About an hour ago, which means she will be waking up soon. Can you get her car seat out of my car for me, please." Danielle asked Kendall as she stared down at her sleeping baby.
"Of course." Kendall said, walking out of the house and returning a minute later with Nicole's car seat. Kendall put it on the couch before Danielle placed Nicole into it; buckling her up before returning her gaze to Kendall.
Kendall smiled at her and opened his arms as Danielle ran up to him. Kendall wrapped his arms around Danielle's slender figure before picking her up and spinning her. Danielle laughed at the sensation, enjoying the feeling of being in her best friends arms again. Kendall chuckled a bit to before putting her down.
"I've missed you so much Danielle, Hollywood is nothing like Kansas, especially without my best friend." Kendall said while smiling as he held Danielle in his arms, looking down at the considerably shorter girl.
Danielle smiled at the comment. "Kansas was not the same without you." Danielle replied. "It is so boring, and way to many people judge there. Do you know how many people in my grade thought that Nicole was yours?" Danielle asked, her smile faltering as she thought of who Nicole's really was.
"I still want to kill that bastard who rapped you." Kendall growled.
Danielle looked down, upset that she even brought it up.
"Me too, but I got Nicole out of it at least." Danielle whispered, a tear running down her cheek as she thought of that night. She had just been walking down her street, a few houses away from her house when a guy, who she still has no idea who it was, came out of a back alley way near her street and pulled her behind in the dark and proceeded to rape her. She was only sixteen at the time, she had given birth to Nicole at the age of seventeen. She was now a few months away from turning eighteen, but the truth was she was still a teenage mother. Which scared her to death, even after having Nicole for nine months, of course it could have been the fact that she was a virgin and was hoping she would be until marriage; that plan backfired because of one rapist.
"That is true, and you know you always have me to help you out right?" Kendall asked, breaking Danielle's train of thought. Danielle looked up, a bit startled since she forgot all about Kendall for a moment.
Danielle forced a smile at the comment. "Which is good, because I have a feeling I will be here for awhile." Danielle said as she stared at Kendall.
Kendall meet her eye and nodded, knowing what she meant. Danielle had moved from Kansas to Hollywood to live with Kendall for awhile because she had become fed up with how people looked at her in Kansas; her parents were only so much help, but they could not help her with all of the negative comments which were said about her. In the "perfect" town she lived in, people refused to accept that there was a rapist in the place she lived. Instead they just thought of her as a slut who had slept with a guy, the guy who everyone thought must be Kendall. Which only made things a bit worse since she was sixteen at the time and he was eighteen, it goes without saying that it was illegal if they did have sex because she was a minor.
"Hey while Nicole is asleep do you think you can help me with my bags?" Danielle asked after a moment to change the topic of conversation.
Kendall nodded, a sad smile prevalent on his face due to the previous conversation. Kendall quickly recovered though and walked to the door, opening it so Danielle could step through. Danielle thanked him with a smile as she went to her cars trunk, opening it and pulling out two large suitcases. Kendall took them from her as she protested.
"I can take those in." Danielle huffed.
Kendall smiled down at her. "I've got these, take the other bag and Nicole's diaper bag. You're a guest, and you better get used to be treated like one."
"I'm not a guest, I am a room mate and I will be paying half of the rent once I get the money to." Danielle replied as she got the remaining luggage before locking up her car.
" I already told you that you do not need to worry about rent, you're a guest and my best friend. I will not let you pay to live here with me, especially since you will only be helping me to keep me company." Kendall replied over his shoulder, becoming quieter as he and Danielle reached the front room of his house.
"Kendall, I do not think you understand how much work living with a teenager and her baby is. You will be begging me to leave in a month." Danielle joked, realizing she was going to lose this argument and would rather not fight with Kendall the first five minutes she moved in with him.
Kendall smirked as he realized Danielle gave up on the argument. "Nicole has taught you not to be so stubborn I see, and I will not be begging you to leave; you will be begging me to let you guys go after a while."
Danielle rolled her eyes at the comment, but decided not to comment further. "How about you show me where Nicole and I will be staying?" Danielle asked kindly, a bit impatient by this point.
Kendall chuckled at the impatience in her tone before picking up Nicole's car seat and led the way up the stairs, careful not to wake Nicole up.
"And this is your room, Nicole's is on the right." Kendall said as they made it into Danielle's room.
"Kendall, Nicole will be sharing a room with me. There is no way you will give up two of your rooms for us." Danielle scolded as she placed Nicole's car seat on the queen bed that was in the room.
"It's not like I need it, no one ever comes to visit and if they do then we can just move Nicole in for the time. Dani, this room is not big enough for you and a nursery." Kendall said, sounding a bit fed up that Danielle was already fighting him on everything.
"It's bigger than my room back home, which I shared with Nicole. But, to make you happy I will put her in there. I just need to set up her crib before night time." Danielle stated before standing up and planning on going down stairs to grab all of Nicole's things to set up the room.
A guilty face crossed Kendall's face as he stared anywhere but Danielle. "Um, I kind of bought Nicole a new one; I knew that the one you used was your old one, and that it is not exactly safe for a baby."
"Kendall, Nicole will be out of the crib in a few months! Why did you waste your money on a new one." Danielle groaned, waking up Nicole in the process.
A loud cry rang out in the air as Nicole woke up. Danielle looked behind herself and rushed to her baby, picking her up quickly and starting to rock her to sooth her.
"Shh, I'm sorry; everything is okay baby girl." Danielle cooed to Nicole, cursing herself for waking up Nicole.
Nicole continued to cry for another moment before stopping abruptly. Danielle stopped moving and looked at her baby girl, noticing that she was staring at Kendall, a small smile on her face. Danielle rolled her eyes before walking twords Kendall. "Did you miss Uncle Kendall?" Danielle asked as she passed off Nicole to him.
Kendall smiled as he cradled her, cooing to her quickly. "Of course she did." Kendall cooed.
Danielle rolled her eyes. "Have you already set up the crib?" Danielle asked.
"Yup, and you will love it. It turns into a bed also, so it will be perfect when Nicole outgrows the crib. Which may not be awhile since she is so tiny." Kendall said as he brought Nicole to his face, making silly facial expressions to get her to giggle; it worked. Nicole giggled as she reached for Kendall's nose, squeezing it softly.
"Uncle Kendall has a big nose doesn't he?" Danielle asked with a smirk on her face.
"Hey!" Kendall shot back as he glared at Danielle. "Mean."
"It's not mean if it's true." Danielle commented as she stepped twords the door.
"Wait! I have to see your reaction when you see the nursery; I told the guys I would tell them." Kendall said as he followed Danielle to the Nicole's room.
"The guys? Oh, the rest of your band?" Danielle asked as she stared up at Kendall.
"Correct, they want to meet you soon just so you know."
"You talk to them about me?" Danielle asked as a blush appeared on her face.
Kendall smirked at her reaction, "You blush at the most simple things. Yes, you have come up in conversation; especially lately since I knew you were coming. But, no worries; I have only told them good things; they will find out your faults all on there own."
"Mean!" Danielle shrieked as she hit Kendall on the arm that was not supporting Nicole.
"It's not mean if it's true." Kendall mocked.
Danielle rolled her eyes at him using her words. "Can I go in?" Danielle asked trying to change the subject.
Kendall smiled a genuine smile and nodded yes. Danielle smiled back at him before opening the door. Danielle stared at the room in shock.
"It's, it's perfect." Danielle whispered as she stared at the room. It was slightly smaller than her own, but enough room for everything that was needed. Nicole's crib was a dark cherry wood, Danielle's favorite kind of wood. The bedding was a baby pink that had baby giraffes and elephants on them. She also had a matching changing table near it, made of the same wood as the crib. Their was a rocking chair in the corner near the crib. As Danielle walked closer she noticed that their was a small bookshelf next to it, it contained a lot of little kid books that Danielle recognized as Kendall's from when he was a child.
"Oh my gosh! It's "Green Eggs and Ham" This was our favorite book as children; and you can tell from the wear and tear." Danielle said while laughing as she looked at a few more of the books, a smile on her face as she remembered reading a lot of the books with Kendall as children.
"My mom sent those over when she knew you were coming to stay for awhile at my place. She thought Nicole would enjoy listening to them. I think we should go to the book store and replace a few though, we were not kind to a lot of those books as children." Kendall said with a laugh as he looked Danielle.
Danielle laughed along side him as she put a few books back on their shelves. "We were not kind to anything fragile as kids."
"True." Kendall said while laughing.
Danielle smiled at his laugh, it was familiarity that she had missed. After a moment, Danielle looked at the rocking chair in the corner, tears coming to her eyes as she recognized it.
"That's your mom's rocking chair." Danielle stated, looking at Kendall to confirm it.
"She thought you would use it, she does not use it anymore." Kendall said softly behind Danielle. Danielle jumped a bit when she heard him so close, but continued to stare at the chair, a tear sliding down her cheek. This was not just a simple rocking chair, this was the rocking chair that had been in Kendall's room for there whole childhood/teenage years. Danielle could remember rocking in it with Kendall when she was five and he was ten, and how he would read to her all of the time; one of the reasons why she loved reading.
"Man, this chair has so many great memories. I can still remember you reading to me, and then rocking me to sleep." Danielle whispered.
Kendall laughed softly at the memory. "I also remember how I would have to carry you home because you would not wake up." Kendall jabbed as he gently ran his side into Danielle's side.
Danielle laughed at the memory. "I was up most of the time, I was just to lazy to get up fully."
"I knew it!" Kendall yelled while laughing. Danielle laughed along side him. They stopped laughing after a moment and stared at each other.
"Can I see her?" Danielle asked after a moment. Kendall nodded before handing Nicole to him. Danielle thanked him before sitting down in the rocking chair. "Look Nicole, this chair used to be the same one mommy and Uncle Kendall would rock in. Now it's your chair." Danielle cooed before kissing her on the cheek. Nicole smiled at her mom before giggling a bit.
"Her giggle is so adorable." Kendall said with a huge smile.
Danielle nodded her head before noticing something for the first time. She quickly stood up and walked over to the wall opposite Nicole's crib. On the wall was a painting of a white wolf and her cub.
"I knew you love wolfs, and I know a guy who draws amazing murals. I thought this was perfect for you and Nicole." Kendall said softly as he gauged Danielle's reaction.
"Thank you." Danielle whispered, her voice broken due to tears. Nicole looked up to see her mom crying before turning her attention to the mural. Nicole stretched her hand out to touch the cub, softly stroking it before looking up at her mom again. "It's you." Danielle whispered with a smile. Nicole looked back at the cub before smiling.
"It's you and mommy." Kendall corrected with a smile.
Danielle looked at Kendall again and gave him a side hug. "Can you hold her while I go get her things? I should set up her room tonight before she goes to bed.
"Of course." Kendall replied before taking her out of Danielle's arms.
Danielle smiled and thanked him before heading down stairs to get Nicole's things. She picked up the luggage and then headed back upstairs. Danielle stopped as she saw that Kendall was sitting in the rocking chair, Nicole was in his lap and he was making silly faces to her. Nicole giggled when Kendall crossed his eyes and stuck out his tongue.
"You know, you would make a great dad." Danielle commented as she set down Nicole's things.
"I might as well be Nicole's father." Kendall said with a smile as he resumed playing his game with Nicole.
Danielle laughed at the two and began to take out Nicole's clothes before putting them away in her drawer.
"You know how I said the guys want to meet you?" Kendall started, staring at Danielle. Danielle nodded her head, turning around to meet his gaze. "When do you think you want to do that?" Kendall asked.
"Um, when do you think would be the best time to meet them?" Danielle asked, unsure what to answer his question.
"How about tomorrow, dinner at our house." Kendall said nonchalantly.
Fear pitted it's way into Danielle. "Um, sure?" Danielle questioned.
"Don't be nervous, they really want to meet you. Plus, they are nice guys; you'll love them. They will also love you." Kendall replied with a soft smile.
Danielle smiled back a nervous smile before agreeing.
"Awesome! Then I will tell them dinner tomorrow. Do you need any help with putting away Nicole's things?" Kendall asked.
"That would be lovely, the other bag has things like her toys and such." Danielle replied as she folded the rest of Nicole's clothes before putting them in the drawer.
Kendall did as he was told as he held Nicole on his hip. After a half hour, Nicole was completely unpacked and the three of them were down stairs in the kitchen. Danielle was looking in Kendall's fridge, a look of disgust prevalent on her face.
"Do you eat out every night?" Danielle asked Kendall as she saw a bare fridge with a few almost empty take out box's.
"Well, I often do not get home until late due to filming and other band things; so yes I eat out every night." Kendall replied with a shrug as he bounced Nicole on his leg.
"Tomorrow we are going to the store then. As for tonight, what sounds good?" Danielle asked as she took Nicole out of Kendall's hands.
"How about Pizza? It's easy and they deliver." Kendall replied as he stood up and went for his phone on the counter.
Danielle nodded a reply before heading upstairs quickly to get the few food jars she brought for Nicole.
Danielle came down with the food jars and the baby cereal to see Kendall on the phone. "Is peperoni fine?" Kendall asked as he covered the phone with his hand. Danielle nodded yes as she put down Nicole's food on the table.
Kendall finished ordering and stared at Danielle as she put Nicole in her high chair and poured a bit of the baby cereal in a bowl and mixed a jar of baby food in the cereal.
Kendall picked up the jar and read the label, "Mmm, sweet potato." Kendall mocked, grimacing at the food a bit.
"It's actually not that bad for being baby food." Danielle replied with a laugh as she started to feed Nicole.
Curiosity got the better of Kendall as he stuck his finger in the jar and ate the bit that he swiped up. "Not bad." Kendall commented as he stood up to put the jar in the sink, and put water in it so it could be cleaned and placed in the recycling bin.
Danielle laughed, and as she laughed Nicole began to giggle along side her. "Uncle Kendall is silly, isn't he?" Danielle looked at Kendall, still laughing a bit. "I was not expecting you to actually do it."
Kendall smiled as he walked over to Danielle and Nicole. "You know I am all for the shock value. Can I feed her?" Kendall asked.
Danielle nodded her head and went to clean out the baby jar. "Wow, my parents never ask to help with Nicole. You're spoiling me, Kendar." Danielle said as she finished with the baby jar.
"Only for you and Nicole." Kendall commented as he smiled a huge smile at Nicole when she spit up part of her food. "She's adorable." Kendall commented.
"I make cute kids, what can I saw." Danielle joked as she sat down at the table; pulling a note pad near her that she had gotten from the fridge. "Alright, if we are having dinner here then we need to figure out what it is and what to buy at the store tomorrow." Danielle started as she stared at the blank piece of paper.
"Well, do you want to cook dinner or do you want me to do it." Kendall asked as he cleaned up Nicole with a rag.
"Can you cook?" Danielle asked with a smirk, knowing the answer already.
"Nope." Kendall said, popping the 'p'.
Danielle laughed as she contemplated what to make. "How about a barbeque? You have to have a grill, right?"
"Yeah, James bought me one for when I first moved in here. I've never used it though." Kendall admitted.
"You better hope your wife can cook, or else your screwed." Danielle muttered as she started writing down everything that would be needed for a barbeque. "I can also make my mom's potato salad. That, Hamburgers, Hot dogs and chips should be fine; right?" Danielle asked, looking up at Kendall to make sure it was alright.
"That sounds great, what time do you want to have the guys over?" Kendall asked.
"How about four or so? That way it wont run to late and I can get Nicole to bed around the normal time. Which reminds me, you need a bath." Danielle said as she picked up her daughter. "What did Uncle Kendall do to you? Dump the whole jar into your hair You're never this messy." Danielle asked with a laugh as she looked at her daughter. "I thought you cleaned her?" Danielle asked as she looked at Kendall.
"I cleaned her hands and face, believe she looked dirtier earlier." Kendall said while laughing as Danielle shook her head at him.
"What are we going to do with him?" Danielle joked as she began to climb the stairs to Nicole's room.
"Hey!" Kendall retorted as he followed the two.
Danielle chuckled at his comeback. "You have not changed Kendall, you still have stupid comebacks."
Kendall rolled his eyes at the blonde, but remained quite besides that.
Danielle smirked at the small victory as her and Kendall made it to the bathroom.
"You want to get the bath running while I strip her?" Danielle asked. Kendall nodded and went for the bath. "Make sure it's not to hot, and that there is only a small amount of water." Danielle added.
Kendall rolled his eyes, "I know, I may not be a father but I do understand how to make a bath for a baby."
"Sorry, I'm just used to telling people how to do it. Our friends back home are not the brightest when it comes to taking care of babies."
Kendall laughed as he remembered there friends back home. "Alright, I'll give you that." Kendall said as he finished running the water.
Danielle smiled before placing Nicole into the bath. Danielle got onto her knees as she put a bit of baby shampoo into Nicole's hair.
"Have you told the guys about dinner tomorrow?" Danielle asked after a moment of silence.
"Nope, I'll text them now. Oh shoot, I forgot my phone down stairs. Be back in a minute." Kendall replied as he hopped off the counter.
A smile made its way upon Danielle's face as she watched Nicole splash around a bit. "You're the best baby, Nicole." Danielle cooed as she continued to watch Nicole.
"She is pretty amazing, isn't she?" Kendall asked.
A small squeak came from Danielle's lips as she turned around to see Kendall laughing at her. "Not funny." Danielle huffed as she glared at him.
"Yes it is." Kendall replied, a smile still prevalent on his face as he sat back down on the counter.
Danielle turned around and finished bathing Nicole. After a few minutes she broke the silence again. "Have any of the replied?"
"Logan, he said he would be there. He also wanted to know if he could bring anything."
A blush coated Danielle's cheeks as she heard Logan's name; something that Kendall luckily did not notice.
"I think we will have everything covered once we go to the store tomorrow." Danielle replied as she picked up Nicole from the bath and wrapped her into a towel.
"True." Kendall replied as he followed Danielle out of the bathroom going to Nicole's room.
Danielle changed Nicole into a new diaper and brown footie PJ's with pink hearts all of them before sitting down in the rocking chair. "I have to put Nicole to bed, your welcome to stay up here if you want. But I must warn you, it could take up to an hour." Danielle warned as she picked up "Green Eggs and Ham."
"I'll stay." Kendall replied as he sat down in front of Danielle and the rocking chair. "Story time!" Kendall yelled, mimicking a four years old.
"You have not grown up, have you?" Danielle asked while laughing as she opened the book.
"Growing old is mandatory, growing up isn't." Kendall replied with a smirk.
Danielle rolled her eyes at the comment before she started to read the book. Half way through the book, Nicole feel asleep; unknown to the two adults as they read along to their favorite kid book. After finishing the story, the two stared at each other; huge smiles on their faces.
"You still do the best "Sam I Am" voice, Danielle." Kendall whispered as Danielle placed Nicole in the crib.
"Thanks, you still do the best old grouch voice." Danielle replied as she placed Nicole in her crib, before turning on the baby monitor.
"Does she usually go to bed this early?" Kendall asked as he noticed the time for the first time, 8:00 PM.
"It's not that early for a baby, but yes. I try to get her to bed by at least 8:30. Tonight was just a good night for her, I think the car ride tore her out." Danielle said as she closed Nicole's room.
Kendall was about to reply as the door bell rang.
"Oh yeah the pizza, did that all really only take thirty minutes?" Kendall asked with a chuckle.
"I guess so." Danielle replied with a smile as they walked down the stairs. Kendall payed for dinner and then brought it to the coffee table in the living room.
"I'm gonna go get Nicole's baby monitor in my room, in case she starts to cry." Danielle said quickly as she went back up the stairs.
Kendall nodded and watched as Danielle's figure retreated before feeling his phone go off. He checked it and noticed he had a text from Carlos and James; both saying they would be there. A smile crossed Kendall's face, excitement filled him as he thought of his band mates finally meeting his best friend.
"What are you smiling about, dork?" Danielle asked as she plopped down next to Kendall on the couch.
"I'm just excited that my band mates and you get to finally meet each other."
Danielle sighed as she thought about that, "I hope they like me." Danielle replied quietly.
"They are going to love you. I know for a fact that Carlos thinks you have the most adorable daughter."
"They know about Nicole?" Danielle asked, a blush coating her face as she thought of how they must have judged her.
"Yes?" Kendall said, confused as to why she was blushing and sounded so nervous.
"Do they judge me for it?" Danielle asked, feeling a bit ridiculous that she worried what they thought of her.
"No, I explained that you were rapped. But that's all I have mentioned of it, it's not their business. But I didn't want them to judge you when I told them, so I told them the truth. I hope that's fine." Kendall said, now unsure if he did it right with how he told the guys.
"That's fine, it's better than them thinking of me as one those ho's who slept with their boyfriends." Danielle said, before taking a bite of a piece of pizza. "Wait, Carlos thinks Nicole is adorable?" Danielle asked, smiling for the first time in awhile.
"Oh yeah, they all think she is pretty adorable. But Carlos always comments when he sees a picture of her. He loves kids, so I have a feeling he will spend the most time with Nicole out of the guys."
"New babysitter? I think yes." Danielle replied with a smirk.
"Babysitter? From your so many dates." Kendall joked.
"Hey! I don't see you dating anyone, mister."
"Touche." Kendall replied, taking a bite oh his pizza.
A comfortable silence fell over the two as Kendall turned on the TV. He flipped through a few channels before landing on Nick for a second.
"Hey, he looks familiar." Danielle said with a smirk as she saw the show "Big Time Rush" on. "You know the one with the bushy eye brows; I think I have seen him a few low budget things." Danielle jabbed, knowing Kendall was trying his hardest not to laugh.
"Hmm, your right. No homo, but he is pretty hot; don't you think." Kendall asked while wiggling his eye brows.
Danielle bust up laughing at his expression and the words. "Um, not my type." Danielle said with a smile.
"He was your type a few years back." Kendall said, slightly losing his smile even though he was trying to keep the topic light.
A blush creeped on Danielle's face at the mention of their short lived relationship. Three years ago they tried to date, but Danielle being fourteen and him being eighteen made it hard. They also realized they were better off friends, so they terminated the relationship a week later. "Yes, but I was also his type a few years ago too." Danielle teased lightly, unsure how to make this conversation stop; like she wanted it to.
"What was he thinking?" Kendall joked, bumping Danielle's shoulders.
"Hey! Jerk!" Danielle yelled as she shoved Kendall's shoulders.
"Ow, dude I forgot how much strength you have for a little freaking person." Kendall muttered as he rubbed his shoulder. "You know I was joking right?" Kendall asked, getting serious for a moment.
"I would hope so, KenKen."
Kendall smiled at the nickname, "I have no heard that since I was five. Kendall was just to hard for you as a baby."
"I was, like, a year, so." Danielle replied as she stuck her tongue out at Kendall.
"Mature, he can I ask you a question?"
"You're going to ask anyway knowing you, so what?" Danielle replied, a bit scared of the question after their last conversation.
"When is the last time you went on a date?"
Danielle was right, she was scared of the question and did not want to answer it. "Um, a few months before I was raped; Kenny was the last guy I dated."
"That idiot farmer?"
"That hot idiot farmer." Danielle corrected with a chuckle.
"Do you not want to date because of Nicole and it would be hard?" Kendall questioned.
"That's part of the reason; also the situation has not presented itself. No guy back home wanted to date the girl who got pregnant and had a kid. Plus, I think half of them thought you would come back and kick their butts for stealing me from you."
Kendall laughed at that. "I would have come back and kicked their butts if they disrespected you." Kendall corrected, "And true, not many guys want to date a girl with a kid; especially someone as young as you. But I have a feeling you will find a guy soon." The words escaped Kendall's mouth before he even realized what he was saying. He was completely shocked at what he said, but after he finished he realized that he was right. He had this feeling that she would find the right guy who would not mind if she had Nicole very soon. The thought scared him, not because he had romantic feelings for her; those went away awhile ago because he realized they are better friends. But because he was scared of what guy she would fall for, and how he would have to protect her; because he was always going to protect her when it comes down to it. Kendall's thoughts were interrupted by Danielle as she spoke, a faint smile on her face as she spoke.
"Thanks, Kendall. I hope you are right. But honestly, it scares me to think of me dating again."
"You don't trust guys anymore because of the incident, do you?" Kendall asked softly.
Danielle shook her head no as a tear feel from her right eye. Kendall frowned before pulling her against his shoulder. He ran his hand up and down her left arm, knowing it would sooth her.
"It's okay, you do not have to date anytime soon. Take it slow, just remember that every guy is not bad." Kendall whispered.
"You're right, I mean you're a guy; so I know they are not all bad. But I'm still afraid." Danielle's voice cracked as she spoke, she mentally cursed herself for being so weak.
"Which is good, that means you wont do anything stupid. But don't worry, you do not have to worry about a serious relationship anytime soon." I hope, Kendall added in his mind.
"I hope your right." Danielle whispered as she closed her eyes, I really hope you are right, I'm not ready to give away my heart to anyone.
