Hi Guys and welcome to the Alternate Ending of Rekindled! A lot of you guys are interested to see what this is going to contain, so let's get straight to it! It starts back at the beginning of Chapter 22, with Kendall just waking up.

James' POV
"Kendall?" I said and I saw him open his eyes while I had my hand on the doorknob.

"Please don't leave James" he said, his voice rough and hoarse as I looked over at the blonde haired boy. My whole body was rigid, as his beautiful green eyes stared back into mine.

"Kendall" was all I was able to say again, and I felt like I was on the verge of tears.

"Please don't leave me. Please don't move on. I love you James" he said, and and that was enough for my resolve to break. I ran over to him and scooped him up into a tight hug as I cried into my shoulder. I could smell the familiar scent I loved and had missed so much, which only worsened by sobbing.

"I love you too" I managed to say through my sobs, and the pair of us managed to pull out of the hug enough to meet each other in a deep, passionate sensual kiss. One that we had both longed for, for what left like years. Both of us put all of our energy into the kiss, never wanting the moment to end. Alas, the need for air became too great, and we both pulled out, with me resting my forehead on Kendall's.

"I love you" he said again, a stray tear rolling down his face.

"I love you too" I said back as the pair of us settle in each other's arms, no other words needed at the moment. It was absolutely perfect, but of course that didn't last long. I felt Kendall's body tense in my arms, and I pulled back slightly to see why. As soon as I pulled back, the boy let out an ear shatter shriek, causing me to let go of him, as he fell back onto the bed. His hands were quick to come up to his head, as he continued to writhe and scream due to some sort of pain. The door swung open behind us, as Jennifer and Kelly rushed over. It was in that moment that I noticed Kendall's heart rate monitors was beeping at an alarming rate.

"Kendall what hurts?" I heard Jennifer ask, as she started to fiddle with some needles on the tray table next to his bed.

"My head…pain…AHHHH" Kendall replied, causing Jennifer to press an injection into his IV bag. Within seconds, the drug was entering his blood stream, and I could hear the heart rate monitor had slowed down, to a normal pace. The drug, of course, had caused Kendall to pass out, and I broke down crying again, feeling like we were back to square one.

"We need to run some tests. I'm going to have to ask you two to wait outside" Jennifer said, turning and looking at Kelly and I. Her facial expression was soft, yet her tone was stern, so I knew it would be better to follow her orders. Kelly walked me out to the waiting room, a familiar sense of Déjà vu looming.

Hour's passed, and there was still no news of Kendall or his condition. Kelly had been called into the room by Jennifer, but nothing else had happened. My mum was the only person to join me, as I just sat there in a catatonic state, trying to comprehend everything. It was all going so well, Kendall had woken up and told me he loved me, but straight after, he'd been in pain.

My most common thought was that this was entirely my fault, and I was the one to cause all of this. I heard a door closing, and I looked over to see Jennifer and Kelly walking towards us, with a rather glum look on her face. No one said anything as she approached, waiting for her to finally tell us what is wrong with Kendall.

"When he woke up, his brain released all of the memories at once. He was alright for a brief second, but then his nerves started to fire at a fatal rate in order to try and comprehend all of the new information it was receiving." Jennifer said, before letting out a rather large sigh. I'm guessing this is where the bad news come in. "We're not going to be able to stop it,. It's just too much for him to comprehend, so his brain won't be able to cope at the moment. Things may be different in a few years, as the brain stops developing at 25, but we can't know for sure. The drug we gave him helped, but without it, he's always going to be in pain, and Kendall can't live on the drug permanently. The only real option is for us to…perform euthanasia. That way, his brain will lock away all of those memories, so he'll be able to lead a normal life" Jennifer said, as I started to sob into my hands once again.

As bad as it sounds, I knew this would be the only way he'd be able to lead a normal life.

"Ok" was all I said, as I looked up to Jennifer.

"There is another thing though. We need to keep his exposure rates to the memories down, otherwise this could happen again. I only want Kelly and I to be there when he wakes up, and when he does, he'll begin a completely new life. Kelly and I have agreed that he will live with her, and she's already requested a transfer to move to a new city. That way, the risk of this occurring again will be limited" Jennifer continued, but I just nodded.

"Ok" was all I said again, as I continued to sob into my mother's arms, now knowing that I would possibly never see Kendall again in my life. As heart breaking as it was, I knew it would be necessary for him to live, and as long as he was alive and happy, then I'd be happy as well.

At least that was my justification for it.

Of course, on the inside, I felt like my heart had been ripped out, stomped on, shot with an assault rifle, throwing into a furnace and then been ripped apart by a pack of rapid wolves.

"We can give you a few minutes with him James, for the pair of you to say you're finally goodbyes" Jennifer said, and I just nodded, following her back to the room. I walked in to see Kendall laid on the bed, his eye lids looking very heavy, but a dopey smile formed on his face when he saw me.

"Hey Jamie" he said in a tired, but almost dreamy voice.

"Hey Kendall" I said, taking the seat next to him, as I held his hand into my own.

"I'm so tired Jamie. Jennifer said that it's this drug, and that I won't need it for much longer" he said, before yawning.

"Yeah, you'll be ok soon." I replied, as more tears streamed down my face. "Hey Kendall, I want you to have this" I said, taking off one of the bracelets I was wearing. Funnily enough, it was one that he had bought me in New York City. I wrapped his around his left wrist as I continued to speak. "And whatever you do, I never want you to take it off ok. I want you to always wear it, you hear me" I said, as I rubbed soothing circles into the back of his hand.

"I love you Jamie" he said, before leaning up and placing a small kiss onto my cheek. That caused even more tears to fall, but I tried to remain strong for the last few moments I had with him.

"I love you too Kendall" I said, returning the kiss. I saw Jennifer walk over to Kendall's IV bag, and she nodded at me. As she injected the fluid, I continued to rub Kendall's palm, until I saw his eyes close, and his body go limp in front of me. For the second time, I had seen my boyfriend die, and disintegrate in front of me.

"I think it's best if you leave now" Jennifer said, and I just nodded, cuddling into my mother as the pair of us left the room. I sobbed the entire way home, the rest of that day, and for the majority of the week after that.

My mum hired me a councillor, and I slowly started the recovery process, each month getting slightly better and better.

7 Years Later- Kendall's POV
"The final award of the evening goes to someone that some people still believe is very new to the industry and yet he was able to captivate the hearts of the entire globe with his story and his music, and I'm sure you all know who I'm taking about. Kendall Knight, you have been through so much in your life, and yet you are only 25 years old. You lost 18 years of your memories, and yet within two years of waking up, you were able to take the music industry by storm. Now this is very rare, but Kendall, we are honoured to present you the Lifetime Achievement Award"

Ok, so that clip has been playing over and over again during this after party, and while I am super grateful for the award, there are only so many times I want to see myself crying on national TV. The night has been brilliant so far, and now everyone is having a brilliant time, I mean it's safe to say that everyone is finally letting their hair down, and getting absolutely pissed, but that's the beauty of it. People keep coming up to me and saying their congratulations which is great, but it also makes me remember why I got into music in the first place.

At the age of 18, I wasn't bothered about being famous, music was just an outlet for me when times got difficult. Kelly had said that I should go to a music producer, claiming I had real talent, and after about a year of her badgering me, I finally did so. The music producer that heard my music signed me, and like the guy said, by the time I was 20 my album was being played all around the world, something that I was happy about, but never really wanted. Fame comes with a price, and that price for me is loneliness apparently.

I tried to date, but I never felt connected to anyone or could form a proper emotional attachment to them. They'd all tell me that they loved me, but I could never return the sentiment. And now here I am, sitting at a after party alone while everyone is dancing with their partners to one of my slower songs. I sighed, taking a sip of my drink, and observing the crowd, when I felt a shadow cast over me. I looked up to see what I could only describe as my celebrity crush.

"Hey, I just wanted to say congratulations on the award, you deserve it" the beautiful model, James Diamond said as he stood over me. I felt my hands start to get all clammy, and I suddenly got really nervous. His eyes were a beautiful hazel colour in real life, and his hair looked perfect.

"T-Thanks" was all I managed to say as I blushed a deep red.

"So, what are you doing sat here all alone?" he asked, as he took the seat next to me. I'd just met the man, and yet I felt an incredible pull towards him. It was like something I couldn't even begin to describe.

"I could ask you the same thing. Doesn't the great James Diamond have a date?" I replied, causing the pair of us to chuckle, as we settled into a comfortable silence, watching everyone else dance.

"That's a nice bracelet, where'd you get it?" he asked, and I looked down to see the one thing that connected me to my past.

"I'm don't really know. I just woke up with it, and I haven't taken it off since. I'm guessing it must be important if I had it with me when I woke up" I replied, and I could see him blush slightly as he smiled. Another slow song started to play, and I saw that James had a small glint in his eye.

"Would you like to dance with me Kendall? I mean, this is a party after all" he asked, extending a hand out towards me.

"Who am I to say no to gorgeous man like you?" I replied, taking his hand as he led me to the dance floor. The two of us maintained eye contact the entire dance, and the pair of us kept slowly making our way closer to each other. I'm not sure why, but I had this craving, like I needed to be touching as much of his body as possible. By the end of the song, our lips were inches apart, and I took the initiative, and leaned in for a kiss.

Our lips met, and we kissed in perfect synchrony as everything else faded away for a brief second. For the first time in my life, a kiss felt perfect, felt like our lips truly belonged together, and that's when the flashes started. Small flashes of memories seemed to come forward, of James and…I together when we were younger. There was him and I snuggled up in bed together, him and I sharing a romantic meal on our anniversary, and finally him giving me this bracelet while I was sat in a hospital bed. When he pulled out, I started into those beautiful eyes, and all I could think of to say is

"I love you Jamie."

So there we have it! The chapter started with a little bit of drama, with Kendall's awakening not being everything James wanted, but I still wanted this to have a happy ending to it, especially with everything that has happened in this story! I hope you enjoyed it nonetheless!
