*Can we just ignore that she is a woman scorned, the fury the likes of which Hell hath no? -Jack Sparrow*

I didn't know what to say. Kendall, the boy I adored, the boy that was my best friend, was suddenly in a wheelchair. What happened? Why didn't anyone tell me? Did he think that I wouldn't want to know this? I know that I haven't talked to him in five years, but that was because I was just so busy. I didn't have time. What the hell have I missed?

"James?" Kendall called.

"K-Kendall? You're in a wheelchair?" I was in utter shock and that was probably the worst way to approach this. I could tell by the way the light seemed to go out in his eyes.

"Yeah." He said dully, then he seemed to brighten and he smiled, but I could tell it was forced, even after five years I could still read him like a book. "Seems we've got a lot to catch up on, huh?" He laughed, scratching the back of his head. "Dinner's almost ready? Would you like to stay? Mom made chicken Parmesan."

I could only nodded numbly. I didn't know what to say. Didn't know how to react.

"Great! Come in then!" He said cheerily, backing his wheelchair up and to the side so I could walk through. That was really skilled. He must have had the wheelchair for a long time, to be able to maneuver it like that. That thought made pain shoot through my heart. How much have I missed?

He closed the door once I was inside and wheeled in front of me. "You can wait in the living room if you want. I'll go tell my mom we have a guest joining us!" He smiled and then turned around and wheeled down the hall and to the kitchen.

I walked to the living room and sat down on the couch, running a hand through my hair, not caring that it messed it up. Five years has mellowed out my perfection obsession. I looked in front of me and saw a picture of me and Kendall when we were about ten, huge smiles on our faces, leaning on each other, with hockey sticks in hand. What had happened? What did I miss? Why did no one tell me that Kendall had obviously been in a serious accident? Did no one think I cared?

So many questions swam through my head. Questions that I should never be even asking. I should have been notified right away when Kendall was admitted to a hospital, not however many years later. I could feel the rage boil inside me, but the feeling that trumped it was hurt. Had I not been important enough to tell? Did he hate me now? What would I have done for him to hate me? I felt like crying.

I was brought out of my thoughts as a squeal of joy filled my ears. I turned around and nearly tackled by Kendall's mother. "Oh James! It's so good to see you! How have you been? How's work? Why have you never called?" She asked rapidly.

I laughed and pulled her off of me, "Great to see you too Mama Knight! Work and life have been great! And I'm sorry, but I've been so busy, with tour dates and modeling gigs, I've never had the time to sit down and call anyone. this is the first vacation I've had in five years." I said looking down.

She smiled. "Don't worry about it. You're here now."

I smiled back at her, then it turned in to a confused frown when I didn't see Kendall behind her. "Where's Kendall?" I asked.

He face saddened and she gave a sad smile. "Finishing dinner. James honey, I know you must be in shock, but please try to act normal around Kendall. He's…sensitive about it." She whispered.

I gave her a confused look. "Why would I not act normal? I just want to know what happened?" I said. She looked slightly shocked for a minute. I wonder why?

She shook her head and smiled lightly at me, a gleam of hope shinning in her eyes. "It's not my place to-"

"It's okay mom." Kendall said from behind her. We both looked up to see Kendall sitting in the door way, looking down. "I came to say dinners ready and ask if you could set the table mom."

Mama Knight glanced between me and Kendall, Before nodding and exiting the room.

"Kendall-"

"Hockey accident." He interrupted. He said it so fast I almost missed it.

"What?"

He looked up at me, pain clear in his eyes. "It was a hockey accident." He looked down again. I could tell that this was a hard thing for him, so I sat down in the chair closest to him and waited for him to continue.

"About four years ago, we where playing a game against the L.A Kings…"

*Flash Back Four Years Ago. Kendall's POV*

"See you out there Knight!"

"You're going to lead us to victory captain."

"Get out there and be you. Kendall."

I smiled at all my team mate and the coach as they left the locker room. Today was the big game with the L.A Kings. I was excited. I've heard that my old rival, Jett Stetson, was on the team. Who knew he played hockey? If he plays like he acts, then this game will be easy.

I chuckled to myself as I entered the locker room everyone had left…and running smack into someone. I yelped and fell on my ass. "Hey look where you're-"

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Kendork?" I heard a familiar voice say. I looked up and was meet with the eyes of Jett Stetson. What the hell was he doing in The Wilds locker room?

"Jett." I growled. He hadn't changed much. Maybe his hair was shorter, but other then that he was the same.

"Aww. Is Kenny not happy to see me?" He taunted.

I got up, dusting my pants. "What do you want?" I asked harshly.

"What? I can't just come see an old friend?"

"Sure you can. But the only other person here is me, so I don't see how you're going to accomplish that." I said, crossing my arms over my chest.

Jett put on a face of mock hurt. "I'm hurt. I thought we were friends."

I just stared at him. "What Jett?"

He rolled his eyes. "Fine. I came to see if you where the Knight that is the captain of The Wilds. And since you are…this game will be easy."

"Yeah, for me. Since when could you play hockey?"

"I'll have you know that I was the captain of my high school team before I moved to the Palm Woods."

I rose an eyebrow. "Uh-huh."

He growled. "It's true!" When I just continued to smirk he huffed and pushed past me. "Good luck at the game, Knight. You'll need it."

"Thanks, but I think you're talking about yourself." I yelled before he disappeared. I sighed and looked down at my watch. CRAP! The games starts in thirty minutes!

I ran inside the locker room, throwing on my gear, completely forgetting that Jett was in here a second ago.

+Time skip+

It was the finial quarter and we were up by one goal. If the Kings managed to score, we would tie and go into overtime, so now the objective was to keep the puck away from the other team or score.

There were ten seconds on the clock and I was racing across the ice to the other teams goal, Jett right behind me. I was in shooting distance and so I lifted up my stick to get ready to hit. But then I heard a breaking sound, like metal snapping. And then, I'm suddenly on the ground, but before I could comprehend what was happening, there was a sheering pain that ribbed up my back and seemed to explode in my head.

I screamed in pain and my vision blurred. I heard screams and yells, but nothing made sense, nothing but the unbearable pain in my back. I looked around me and saw red. Was that my blood? I couldn't tell. My vision was starting to fade and the last thing I saw before I blacked out was a smirking Jett looking down at my and one of the blades to his skates covered in blood.

*End Flash Back. Back to James' POV*

"The next thing I knew I was in the hospital and I couldn't feel my legs. The doctors said that when Jett ran me over, his blade cut into my back and severed some nerves and damaged my spine. They didn't know if I'd ever walk again. And now they're pretty sure I won't." Kendall finished his story, not once looking at me. I saw a lone tear drop from his chin.

That did it. I was crying. How could this happen to Kendall? He was Kendall! Perfect, sweet Kendall. My Kendall. Why did he never tell me?

"What happened to Jett?" I asked softly.

He snapped his head up to me and I could see that his eyes were red rimed and puffy. "N-Nothing. They said that my skates where old and the blade was weak and that Jett was going to fast to stop. So it was an accident." He paused and just looked at me.

"That's bullshit! He clearly sabotaged you! He might have not meant to hurt you, but he definitely did something to your skates! How could Jett not have done it? Don't you think so?" I ranted, fuming. That jerk did it on purpose. He hurt my Kendall and, fuck, is he going to pay.

"No ones ever asked me that…" Kendall said softly.

My angry died for a second. "What?"

"No one's ever asked about Jett or what I think really happened. They just say how sorry they were for me. No ones actually cared about what I thought happened." Kendall started to cry. "N-No o-one ga-ave a d-damn about w-what I thought o-or if the accident w-wasn't r-r-really an a-accident." He sobbed into his hands.

My heart shattered at the sight. I got up and knelt in front of him, removing his hands from his face holding them in one hand while the other wiped his tears away. I waited till he quieted and I brought his face to look at me. "I care, Kendall. And I am going to help you give Jett the punishment that he deserves for hurting you. I'm sorry that I haven't been here for you, but I'm here now and I'm not going to leave. We are going to make this right." I said stroking his cheek.

Silent tears slid down his cheeks and I whipped them away. He brought a hand up to my hand that was on his cheek and clasped it between his hands. He looked into my eyes and I could see the pain of the past four years inside them. "I've missed you, James." He whispered.

I smiled and brought my other hand to lay atop his. "I've missed you too."

We stayed like that for what felt like forever, before Kendall laughed and removed his hands from mine, whipping at his eyes. "W-We should get going before the food gets cold." He said, looking up at me once I stood.

"Yeah. Don't want to eat cold food." I grinned.

Kendall smiled brightly and I could tell that it was genuine. "Race you!" He said and speed off.

"Hey! No far! You got a head start!" I yelled running after him. He laughed and wheeled faster. I smiled as he continued to laugh. His laugh was beautiful and it deserved to always be heard and one step to achieve that, is make Jett pay for what he did.

"I win!" Kendall yelled, wheeling to the table.

I ran into the dinning area panting, "Not...fair… wheels…are…faster…than…feet." I panted.

Kendall smiled devilishly. "Perk of being crippled. You get an awesome set or wheels!"

I rolled my eyes and smiled. There's the Kendall I know. And I'm going to do everything in my power to make that Kendall stay.
