"Oh my gosh." Camille whispered, her heart jumping into her throat and beating like a hummingbird's wings. James bolted up and off of Camille's lap, completely in shock. Kendall groaned yet stayed on his back, unable to move. Camille winced and scooted over to Kendall, her hands shaking as they hovered over Kendall's abused body. His shirt was bloody and torn, bruises and cuts covered almost every inch of exposed skin, across his cheeks and on his jaw. "Kendall, it's okay I'm right here." Camille said. Kendall's head turned to the side as he heard her voice and he began to struggle against his bonds.

"Whoa, hey, give me a second here, baby. You're okay." Camille reassured as she gently reached out and began to untie the ropes. They were loose already from Kendall's struggling, so Camille easily removed them. Tossing the rope to the side, she pulled off Kendall's gag and then quickly untied the blindfold. Kendall slowly opened his eyes, blinking as the small amount of light in the basement seared his unready pupils.

Once his eyes had focused, Kendall sat up. "Camille! Oh, gosh!" he exclaimed in relief, throwing his arms around her and pulling her close. Camille felt tears begin to slip down her cheeks as she hugged him gently but tightly. "Kendall, oh, Kendall." she sobbed.

"I'm right here, you're okay." Kendall reassured, his hands going up to stroke her hair. "I'm here, sweetheart." he whispered. Camille pulled away from him and looked up. Kendall gave her a reassuring smile, the corners of his beautiful, full mouth turning up. "You're all right." he said, his green eyes sparkling with unshed tears of his own as he ran his warm, somewhat calloused thumb over her cheek. Camille nodded, a complete mess as she lovingly ran her hand through his hair, unsure if he was real. "Look at you." Camille whispered, gently touching the bruises on his face.

Kendall winced in pain and shied away, gently taking her hands and holding them in his. "I'll be okay." he whispered, stooping down to kiss her chastely. Gosh, she had missed his lips. Kendall pulled away, smiling a little bit, but then frowned as he looked in the corner. James was staring at him wide-eyed and beaten, looking unbelievably frightened.

"James." Kendall whispered sadly, before carefully crawling over to his friend. "Hey, you're all right, buddy." Kendall softly reassured before lovingly enveloping his broken friend in a comforting embrace.

James hugged Kendall back, desperately grasping at Kendall's shirt in despair. "Kendall" he choked out, his voice breaking.

"I'm right here, James. It's okay." Kendall whispered, gently rubbing James' back. Camille had to smile at the sight of Kendall with James. They meant so much to each other. She was so glad that they were reunited. However, being with Kendall was a good thing…but how were they going to be rescued now that he was kidnapped, too? Camille frowned as she thought about this.

Kendall pulled away from James and knelt in front of him, "Did he do this to you?" he questioned, his voice tinted with anger as he gently held James' wrists in his hands. James nodded, hot tears cascading down his face. Kendall shook his head, his eyelashes fluttering in frustration and upset. "Please, Kendall, take us home." James pleaded, looking up at Kendall with bright hazel eyes.

Kendall looked like he was about to pass out, "Oh, James, buddy, everything's going to be all right. Mom will find us." he said, wrapping his arms around James' quivering shoulders once again. James buried his face against Kendall's shoulder as Kendall gently cradled James' head against him. "Shhh, James, it's going to be okay." Kendall repeated over and over again, but he wasn't getting through to his distraught friend. He gently threaded his fingers through James' hair, trying to provide some comfort to him, but to no avail.

A few minutes later, James pulled out of Kendall's embrace and tiredly leaned against his best friend. Kendall smiled softly down at James and sat with his back against the wall. "Get some sleep, James." Kendall said, rubbing the brunette's shoulder.

"Will you stay with me?" James asked softly, looking up innocently at Kendall.

Kendall smiled at him, "I'm not going anywhere. I promise." he whispered reassuringly. James nodded and sat at an angle, resting his head against Kendall's chest.

"Just relax, everything's all right, buddy." Kendall soothed, draping his arm around James' shoulders to keep him in place while also keeping him warm. Camille smiled, for the first time in quite awhile. The boys depended on each other so much. James seemed instantly at ease now that he was back with Kendall by his side. Kendall watched James for a few minutes, content with how quickly his friend fell into a peaceful sleep.

"Come here." Kendall whispered, looking up at Camille. Camille scooted over to him, her smile fading as his fragile condition became more prominent as time wore on.

Camille reached up and gently cupped his strong jaw, "You all right?" she whispered, concern evident in her voice.

Kendall smiled sweetly at her, "Of course I'm okay, I'm here with you two now." he said. Camille's heart skipped a beat. Why is he so adorable, she thought. Kendall grew serious, again, and he gently shifted James closer to him, trying to keep him warm.

"I…I didn't know what to do. I couldn't think straight without you, I was a complete mess." Kendall confessed. He fluttered his eyelashes in upset, tears beginning to slip down his face. He smiled sadly at her, and Camille's heart constricted painfully.

"I'm right here now." she reassured, at a loss for any other words. Her speculations about Kendall being distraught when she had disappeared had just been confirmed, and now she was a wreck.

"Come sit with me?" Kendall timidly asked, tears still streaming down his cheeks despite the small smile on his face. Camille nodded and sat next to him with her back against the wall. Kendall draped his other arm around her, pulling her close against his side. Camille reached up and kissed the side of his face before snuggling against him. Kendall took a deep, shuddering breath and rested the side of his face on top of Camille's head. Camille slipped her arm between Kendall and the wall they were resting against, slipping her hand underneath his plaid shirt to stroke his soft skin. She ran the pad of her thumb across the small of his back.

"I'm guessing that James isn't doing too well?" Kendall whispered, looking down at James and lovingly sweeping a few strands of hair off of his face.

Camille shook her head, "He's scared, and he doesn't feel well - at all." she answered, reaching over and stroking James' hair, too. "I think he feels a lot better now that you're here for him. He and I are close, considering what he's been through with you and I, but you two have known each other longer." she whispered.

Kendall just nodded and rubbed James' arm rhythmically. Kendall leaned down and gently kissed Camille's neck, "We'll figure everything out." he reassured, running his fingers through her hair.

Camille nodded, and snuggled closer to Kendall, his lean body pressed against her, keeping her warm. She wrapped her arms around his waist once more, running her hand up and down his hip, fingering the belt loops on his jeans. She didn't know what the next day would hold, or even the next hour, but now that she was back in Kendall's arms, she was instantly comforted. However, just as Kendall's breathing became even and James was fast asleep, the door flew open and in stormed Jonathan - looking angry.
