(37)Ally

Oh my god, I was hurting all over.

I brought my hand up to clutch my throbbing head, instinctively. A feeling of a de ja vu took over me. Wait…I have been in this position, before. But this couldn't be the same person.

When my eyes had vision again, I couldn't believe it. This was so unbelievable; I had to be dreaming. Kendall could not possibly be here. He was back at home, sleeping, most likely. Or, well, maybe getting ready for school, by now…but still. This couldn't be him. But the pain that my back was experiencing was so realistic and familiar!

"I am so sorry!" his voice rang out, and I blinked probably a hundred times, trying to get my eyes to adjust so that I could see someone else. But every time I opened my eyes again, I saw the same squared-chin on that gorgeous face.

Kendall's and my faces lifted up until his was literally just a few inches from mine. His beautiful, greenish-hazel eyes got extremely wide when he recognized who I was. "…Ally?"

I couldn't breathe, but I nodded slowly. I was gradually beginning to realize that I wasn't dreaming, after all. This was all real. Kendall had really just crashed into me for the second time, ever.

"Oh no!" a voice yelled from somewhere in front of us, and we both turned to see a very upset Levi. "Not you!" Kendall clenched his jaw.

"Kendall…" my voice whispered, cracking. "What are you doing, here?" Levi rushed to my side and helped me up before Kendall could answer. He glared darkly at me.

"I…" he couldn't seem to find the words. I stared at him, still in shock at his presence. "You…you can't leave, Ally," he whispered, almost inaudible. As he stared at my face, he began to get ever-so-slightly braver.

"I was so wrong. We can't be 'just friends'. It has always been more than that, since the beginning." Levi placed an arm in front of me, protectively. "No, stop! She is not coming with you; can't you see that?"

I stared at Levi, now, but still, I didn't say anything. "Ally can tell me how she feels without your help," Kendall growled at him.

Levi glared so darkly at him, it scared me. Their feelings for each other were so obviously full of hate, it should be illegal. I absolutely hated this.

"I know Ally inside and out," Levi said, deeply. "I think I should know who she likes and doesn't. She likes me. That's why she's coming to New York. I thought even an idiot like you could figure that one out, but apparently not!"

I whipped my head around to look at Levi. "OK, Levi, that is sonot true! You do not know who I like and don't, and if you think that the reason I am coming with you is because I like you in that way, you are so wrong!"

Levi turned to look at me. "Why else are you coming, then?" I let out a deep sigh as the two guys that I cared about went back to glaring at each other. "I am going because Kendall told me to!"

That comment seemed to surprise both of them. Kendall stared right in my eyes, and I slowly continued. "But I didn't do it just because of that. I was trying to run away from my problems! I was too afraid to admit it."

Kendall swallowed. "Admit what?"

A tear fell from my eye as I decided to admit it in front of him for the first time. "That I am hopelessly, madly, deeply in love with you, Kendall Schmidt."

I could feel Levi's stare on my face, but I just watched Kendall's eyes. "That works out perfectly, because ever since I met you…there has been one thing that I have wanted to do," he said, and before I could ask him what that was, he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine.

I completely forgot that anyone was even there. I forgot that I was in an airport. All I remembered was that this was Kendall, and I was Ally.

Our lips moves together in perfect synchronization, and I automatically stretched my arms up around his neck. His arms dropped to my waist, right where I wanted them to be. Even though we were close together already, it almost felt like we weren't close enough. There was no way to describe my feelings right now. All I could say was, they were very, very good.

I had no idea how long we were standing there, together, but then again, who kept track of time when you were making out with the love of your life?

When Kendall finally pulled away from me, it took me just a moment to open my eyes to believe that this was real life. When I finally did, Kendall was just opening his eyes, as well.

Neither of us spoke. We didn't have to. We both knew exactly what each other were thinking. We were absolutely in love with each other. And let me tell you…I had never felt any happier. I doubted that anyone could have ever felt any better than I did.

I didn't mean to, but my eyes left his for a moment, to look at where Levi had been standing. My luggage was still there…but Levi and his family were nowhere to be seen.
