Colette's POV

"Colette,

You seem to be enjoying your new life in the spotlight? You know that's about to change. I have something that belongs to you. You do love your mum, don't you? If you want me to set her free, meet me beside the mountains in LA tomorrow at midnight, we will be waiting for you. If you don't turn up or tell your lover about this then I'm going to slit your mums throat. And then i will find you and kill you. Understood? See you soon."

I fell to the floor. The only person that would do this to me is Kyle. I know he would. But he is in jail?

I couldn't think. I put my head in my hands and wept my heart out.

What am I supposed to do? Should I tell Kendall? No, I'm probably putting him at risk. What am I supposed to do?

I heard the door slam. I quickly crumpled the letter and put it in my pocket and wiped my eyes.

Kendall was angry when he walked. Then He looked at me, shock crossing his face, his green eyes alarmingly bright. He ran across the room and sat down next to me.

"Cole? Cole whats wrong? What the fuck happened? Did someone hurt you? Cole listen to me!" He said as I stood up.

"I'm fine! I just feel like this is all my fault!" I started crying. I decided that I wouldn't tell him. He shouldn't get involved with my twisted life. He didn't deserve it. It's not his fault that he got involved with a girl who's past is really fucked up.

"Why would you think that? Cole come on love I hate seeing you cry, please..." He was now standing next to me. His arms wrapped around my waist as I sobbed my heart out on him. He kept kissing my head and patting my back lightly.

"I'm some sort of bad luck magnet! Everywhere I go I drag my bad luck with me!" I said wiping at me tears.

"Colette you are not a a bad luck magnet! you are the best thing that happened to me! Even though I haven't known you for a while, I just want to tell you... I love you. I think It was love at first sight for me. When I saw you my heart just started beating so loud and I couldn't breath. That's why I didn't talk to you much at first. You are beautiful Cole. I haven't felt like this about anyone before..." He trailed of and looked at me.

I was frozen. Did Kendall just say that he loved me? Holy crap.

"Kendall I... I love you too." I whispered and he leaned over and kissed my forehead. I closed me eyes. He was perfect.

"Sorry I distracted you, did you find anyone?" I said as I pulled away from him.

"No. All I saw was a car speeding off into the distance." He said and reached for his phone. "I'm away to call the police."

As Kendall spoke to the police, I sat there nervous fiddling with my fingers finally letting everything sink in.

"They will be here in a few minutes." He told me and grabbed my hand taking me downstairs into the living room. We finished tidying it up.

After a while the police arrived. And of course after the police arrive with their flashy lights, the reporters and paparazzi were standing at the gates wanting to know what happened at the Schmidt house.

I was sitting on the sofa, hugging my knees while Kendall gave his statement. I just kept thinking about that letter and who it's from... And my mum. My poor mother didn't deserve to be pulled into all this! She hasn't done anything wrong.

I was still deep in though when Kendall and a police officer walked in.

"Cole?" He said and I looked up. "The police have some questions that they would like you to answer." He came over and held my hands.

"Miss O'Connor, is there anything we should know about that Mr Schmidt hasn't told us yet?" The police officer asked me. He looked bored. Like he didn't want to be here and all this was a waste of time.

"No, I know as much as Kendall does, if not less." I said, holding Kendall's hands.

"Well then Mr Schmidt, there is nothing that we can do about this. There are no foot prints anywhere for us to find out anything. You surely must have insurance that covers this so you should get in contact with them. I suggest you install security camera around the house and if this happens again, call us." He said while writing something down on a clipboard. Kendall. Got up and walked the officers to the door while I sat still.

After Kendall came back he sat down and gave me a hug, not knowing that it calmed me down so much.

"I will call the insurance company tomorrow. I'll bunk in with you today." He smiled at me. I gave him a big fake smile and walked up to the bedroom. I changed into my pyjamas and walked back into my bedroom. I really liked this bedroom. Like the kitchen, one whole wall was made of just glass. I was now a bit freaked out though. Who knows, maybe that person is watching?

I was looking through the window when Kendall walked in. He was only wearing sweats. He gave me a hug from behind and sat his chin on my shoulder.

"You know, we havent actually had a proper date yet, so do you fancy a dinner with me tomorrow?" He sad and kissed my neck.

"That would be perfect Schmidt." I smiled and turned around so that I was facing him. i leaned over to kiss him slowly while he stroked my face.

After we were down he took me to the bed and snuggled with me under the covers.

"Kendall... I feel slightly uncomfortable with the open curtains, so is it okay if we close them?" I asked. I was now lying with my head on his naked chest.

"Sure thing." He said and went out to close the curtains.

We snuggled together and I though that Kendall was asleep but then he whispered to me.

"You know that tattoo, want to go out and get it done tomorrow? I want the world to find out about us. I don't want to keep you a secret." He said while stroking my hair.

I smiled even though he couldn't see me. "Yeah that would be great. But are you sure about this? Won't your fans start to hate on you? I mean I am a fan, I know what they are like." I said.

"Cole I'm a hundred percent sure about this. I don't want to hide you. I love my rusher but I want people to know about us." He said.

We were silent for a minute. But then three amazing words left Kendall's lips.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." I whispered out.

Soon I heard Kendall softly snoring. I got out from the bed and went into the bathroom.

I locked the door and grabbed my razor. I took the blade out and held it agains my skin. I held it there for a while hesitating. I didn't want to do this. I wanted to show Kendall that I was strong and would get through this. But I haven't done it for a while. I just felt like the pain washed away with all the blood.

But I thought of Kendall and how much he means to me. I didn't want to hurt him. I quickly put the blade away and went back to bed.

This might be the last night that I sleep cuddled up with Kendall.
