Chapter 20! WOOOHOOOO! I never thought I make it this far, but here I am! Thanks to those who watch, review, fav, and read my story! I really appreciate it! It will be a rather long series with varied sizes of chapters because long chapters are boring and too many short chapters just make it longer... , but anyway, hopefully I keep you entertained and in love with my story...if you love it. Even if you like it, I hope you continue to! So onward to the story we go!

Shock Value:

The rain was falling harder. The mud getting thicker. I looked at the ledge. I put on my skates, the wheels were mud resistant, best type. I rolled closer, though, not to close to the ledge. I closed my eyes, letting out a breath.

'You can do this.' The voice said. 'Prove this to yourself. You can do it!' I moved closer, almost off the ledge. I opened my eyes, my heart was pounding, but... I wanted this. I needed this. The world around me right now didn't matter, all that did was this.

'I believe in you, now prove... no show you're not weak.' I closed my eyes again, another deep breath. I smiled, and determination was in my mind. I jumped.

(***)

Kendall rolled down at fast speed. She did a few flips and twists. When she saw the sign, she hooked it perfectly, heading down the right path. She did more tricks and flips, using an old dead tree as a ramp. She finished with a triple back flip, skidding to a stop, spraying mud everywhere. She turned her head looking back to the ledge, a smile crossing her face.

'Told ya.' The voice was happy. Kendall laughed lightly. Then was frightened by someone tackling her to the ground into a tight hug.

"Are you crazy?!" Jackie hugged her tighter. "I was so worried about you! Don't ever scare me like that again!" She scolded. Kendall was shocked.

"When did you get here?" She was still a bit frightened, then noticed Brianna, Kick, and Gunther, all had big eyes and were completely taken aback and in awe.

"You didn't hear us calling you? We were so worried! Why did you run away from the nurse's office? Why did you almost kill yourself? Do you know how dangerous that jump is? Especially when it's raining?" Jackie was very upset, tears filling her eyes. Kendall finally felt back to herself. She didn't want her friend crying, she didn't mean to worry her. She hugged her back.

"I'm so sorry Jackie... I don't know what came over me." She hugged her friend tighter. "Please don't cry. This is all my fault."

"Kendall!" Jackie and her turned to see Kyle, Nicolette, the twins and Mouth coming up. They got up, Jackie still holding onto her.

"Kendall you were so awesome! I didn't know you could roller skate like that!" Kyle was freaking out.

"Here I thought you were in trouble, when really, you just pulled off one of the best stunts ever!" Nicolette was completely surprised.

"Where'd you learn to skate like that?" Mouth smiled.

"HOLD UP!" Brianna's voice shouted, scaring the hell out of everyone. "I know you're all excited she did this stunt, but my number one question is, why did you leave the nurse's office? And did you have a death wish?"

"Oh... I just needed to clear my head and...well um..." Kendall stuttered, feeling a bit scared of Brianna at the moment.

"Oh, so to clear your head, you decide to do one of the most dangerous stunts in the rain, on roller skates, to which my brother has never been able to pull off, because it's so dangerous?" She was pissed off. Kendall bit her lip, trying to think of the right words to say.

"Well...sort of... it was more of a test..." She tried to explain.

"Oh a test... What if you failed?!" Brianna was upset. "I've never once seen you skate with skill, and all of the sudden you think it's a good idea to do this? What if you couldn't hook the sign? What if the mud was too much? We're you even thinking that you could die?"

"Brianna!" Nicolette yelled." Calm down."

"Calm down!? We have been worried sick about her and the next thing we know is Scarlet and Teena telling us there's someone on Dead Man's Drop about to do a stunt. And it's Kendall. Not to mention it's pouring rain. What if she dies?!"

"I wouldn't have died." Kendall finally said. Everyone gave her a surprised look.

"And how do you know that?" Kick finally asked, and said something. However, he and Gunther were still in utter shock.

"Because... because I've done much more dangerous stuff then this." Brianna nearly fell over from shock, while the rest had wide eyes.

"What?" Nicolette began to smile. "So what secret life are you hiding?"

"None... I just found when you have roller skates and a few ramps, it's a great way to clear your mind... when you don't have music..." Kendall explained.

"So you're a daredevil?" Nicolette smirked.

"No... just someone who likes to skate." Kendall took off her skates, the wheels were completely clean.

"Why aren't the wheels dirty?" Jackie asked, finally letting her go, but staying close.

"Weather resistant wheels, fit for any terrain, especially mud." Brianna nearly fainted, again.

"You...you... I... you could have told me..." Brianna let out a breath. Kendall just smiled, then went to hug her. Everyone else laughed.

"Sorry for worrying you." She let go. "I didn't think you guys come looking for me."

"Are you kidding? We had to." The twins replied.

"Yeah we thought you do something stupid because of your PDA." Nicolette stated. Everyone gave her a strange look.

"That's never going to catch on!" Ramia shouted as she and Loraina came up.

"Yes it will... It means public display of aggression." Nicolette explained.

"You know that's kinda smart." Jackie said.

"Don't encourage her." Loraina shook her head.

"What would I have done?" Kendall asked.

"Well..." Brianna looked back at the ledge. "Something like this."

"Oh..."

"We understand why though." Nicolette added.

"What do you mean?" Kendall looked at her.

"It's okay, we know everything now." Jackie looked a bit sad. Kendall got a bit surprised.

"Everything?" Kendall glanced at them.

"Yeah, we know that blonde jackass has been hitting you for a while, but why didn't you come to us? We would have took care of him." Nicolette looked concerned. Kendall on the inside was a little relieved, they didn't know everything. She was about to respond, when her phone went off.

"One sec... hello?" she answered. "Yes. I'm okay... no, I don't know anything about that... okay... I'll be home in a bit." She hung up.

"Your dad?" Dante questioned. She nodded.

"Yeah I have to go home." Kendall replied.

"Well I'll go with you." Jackie grabbed her hand.

"But Jackie..." Kendall tried to protest.

"No buts about it, come on." Jackie wasn't going to take no for an answer this time. They began to walk back to their neighborhood.

"Something tells me, it's going to take a lot to separate Jackie from her now." Nicolette glanced at the others, they nodded.

"Well let's get out of this rain. We'll call you guys later." Loraina said. The twins, Ramia, Loraina, and Nicolette left, leaving Kyle, Mouth, Gunther, Brianna and Kick.

"At least we found her." Mouth smiled.

"Yeah thank goodness." Brianna replied. She glanced at Kyle. "What are you doing?"

"Just uploading Kendall's stunt. I bet she's going to be the number one video watched." He answered. "She was just amazingly awesome. And I loved the air she got."

"I'll say, it kept Gunther and Kick stunned for a while." Mouth laughed.

"I didn't even know she could roller skate." Brianna glanced at Kick.

"I remember we skated at the roller derby, but that was like six, seven years ago. And she could barely stay on her feet." Gunther finally spoke.

"You know I remember that..." Mouth added.

"Yeah you guys dressed up like girls." Brianna glanced at him, a sly smile on. He just looked away, wishing that didn't happen. Kick and Gunther ignored that comment.

"But I have to admit, she really did awesome on that stunt." Gunther was impressed.

"How do you think she did Kick?" Kyle questioned.

"He thought she was freaking awesome, and was mostly in shock." Brianna smiled at her brother.

"Will you stop that..." He looked at her.

"Is it not the truth" He had the sly smile again.

"Yeah she was great, okay." He rolled his eyes. Brianna just giggled. Kick knew she was better than great, but he admits it took him by surprise to see her do that. He was worried she might get hurt, but instead she did something even he hasn't done yet.

"Well I guess we should get home. My hair is getting ruined and now we at least know Jackie is with Kendall." Brianna started to walk, trying to get the mud out of her hair.

"Can I come over for a while?" Mouth asked, following her. The rest also followed.

"Sure." She replied. Gunther looked at his best friend, then forward and thought, 'hopefully you'll forgive me one day...'
