Kenzie was absolutely devastated.

She couldn't bear the pain or the disappointment.

The disappointment in herself.

She hated to fall … And she had let herself fall for Nathan too far, too many times.

She stood on the roof of the Team Unicorn house, staring down at the unfilled pool below her.

She was on her tip-toes, her arms spread out wide.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, leaning forward …

And letting herself fall one last time, never to fall again.

Nathan shot up, screaming, his eyes flying open. His body shook with each quick, heavy breath. He felt the space in the bed next to him. She wasn't there and he started panicking. He leaned over and snatched the phone, dialing her number and waiting impatiently for her to pick up.

"Babe?" The voice on the other end of the line was groggy.

"Oh, thank God!" Nate breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing back onto the mattress.

"Why the heck are you calling me at 3:19 in the morning?"

"I just needed to be sure…" He really didn't want to explain the dream, so he tried to leave it at that, but Kenzie pried and he retold the whole story, ending with "So… I just needed to be sure it was a dream… That you were still alive… That I hadn't lost you…"

"Alright, I guess I'll forgive you for waking me up, then," she chuckled, trying to wake herself up.

"Can… Can you come over?"

"Um… Yeah, I guess so. I'll be there in five." Kenzie hung up the phone and considered making herself decent but decided against it and climbed into her Mustang, still in her pajamas. She drove to Nathan's house, trying to stay awake, while he paced the kitchen. She pulled into the driveway and clambered out of the car, jogging up the walkway to the door. It was colder outside than she expected. She rang the door bell, shivering in her Captain America tank top and short-shorts. Nate flung the door open and scooped her up into his arms. Kenzie reveled in the warmth, clinging to his bare chest as he pulled her inside and closed the door.

Nathan picked her up, carrying her wedding-style up the stairs to his room and plopping her down onto the bed. Kenzie giggled and scooted over so Nathan could lie down. She spent the night there, wrapped up in his sheets and his arms while he went on about how horribly guilty he felt in the dream and how he would never do that to her.

"Babe, it's fine," Kenzie whispered, running her fingers through his hair.

Nathan laughed uneasily, remembering what had happened right after she'd said that in his nightmare. "Don't ever say that. Please."

Kenzie mumbled something compliant and drifted off to sleep, laughing to herself at the reaction she'd get from the girls if she texted them in the morning saying she'd slept with Nathan. Yeah. She'd definitely be doing that.
