Close Watch part 1:

Ever since the incident with Ronaldo on Friday and Kendall finding the abandoned music/dance building, she had decided to sneak out a lot to go to the place. It interested her and after coming twice, she decided to bring her ipod and doc to see if maybe, just maybe, her music would help. She would leave her doc there and just bring her ipod back home when she was done. Now it had been officially been a week since the incident, and she was at what she called her place, listening to music.

"Well at least you're out of the house…" My reflection said softly. While I was here I had cleaned the mirrors and got rid of all the dust. It wasn't hard and to be honest, didn't take long at all. Things were clean, except for the cracks in mirror I did a week ago, but who cares about that. My music was playing and to be honest I wasn't really listening to my reflection as I laid on the wooden floor. I was listening to the lyrics. "Kendall!" She finally yelled. I glanced at her.

"What?" I sat up.

"Please listen to me, I know…. I know you hate me right now, but please…" she pleaded. I rolled my eyes, glancing over at my ipod, my music playing. "Why don't you play something?" I glanced back.

"Why would I do that? I don't have a talent for it." I replied.

"You can play the piano, violin, guitar, and sing… just try." She tried to reason.

"And what should I play?" I rolled my eyes again.

"Play what you feel… just like you're letting the music on your ipod play your emotions, you play them." I let out a sigh and got up. I walked over to the piano and uncovered the keys. To be honest there was a lot I could play, but I had a few songs come to mind. I went over and picked up my doc setting it on the piano, scrolling through my playlist to some songs that I could play along with. I walked back over to the bench and let out a breath, playing what came on first with my music, Lithium by Evanescence. I started to sing the lyrics as I got further into the song and my emotions taking over. I closed my eyes just singing and playing the notes. It ended and I let another breath. I wanted another song, so my fingers moved on their own against the keys.

"I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears." I sang beginning My Immortal, continuing to play and sing.

'Her voice is so beautiful…and genuine.' I thought listening to her. I might be in her mind, but these emotions she can sing and play with…it's true artistry. 'If only you'd believe in me and listen.' Kendall sang a total of five songs, feeling all of their emotions. She sang mostly sad ones, but of what I saw it seemed to help. She went from Lithium, to My Immortal, than to Because of You, Hurt and ended with Hello. All to which she sounded amazing and sang them like it was nothing. 'Hopefully you'll get back to normal…or semi-normal, soon.' I looked down. Kendall got up and grabbed her ipod.

"Time to go?" I asked. She glanced at me, her eyes still the same. She was still broken. I just let out a sigh and gave her, her reflection staying silent in her mind. She headed home to her own dance room, not able to sleep, didn't eat…or be herself.

Since the news casting, Kick was careful in trying to keep an eye on Kendall. It was finally Friday and school was over with. Everyone was officially on Thanksgiving break now. Gunther was with Jackie trying to comfort her and secretly keeping her safe. The others were at their homes while Brianna was with Mouth. Kick was home alone. He was in his bedroom trying to look for signs of Kendall, wandering if she was in her room, by looking through his window. Her blinds concealed everything, though. For the past few days he tried spying from places around her backyard, being in the trees and hidden, but still couldn't see her. Today, though, he decided he would actually go in her backyard and see if he could just sneak into her house. He left his house sneaking over to Kendall's back fence and hopping it. He went behind a tree to make sure he wasn't seen. He glanced around and started to head to the door, then heard something. Starting to panic, he quickly hid again behind the tree. He heard the backdoor open and close, so he carefully and stealthy climbed up the tree. Now that he felt more hidden, he looked out through the leaves to see who came out.

'Kendall?...' He thought. She had on another hoody, jeans and her converse. Her hood was covering her face. She walked over to the back fence, hopping it. Kick decided to follow her. She went down this secret pathway that even he didn't know existed. 'Where are we? Where is she going?' He asked himself. He kept hidden, following her until she came to this field that was on the right of the path with an old looking building. She walked in. He followed, staying hidden and behind the door. It was a bit open, so he was able to see her. She just laid on the floor for a bit. He glanced at the room. There were two mirrored walls, one where it had some cracks on its lower piece near some instrument cases. 'Wait, instruments!?' He looked again. 'What is this place?' He questioned, 'And how did she find it?' He had a lot of questions but thought it best to keep them to himself, though they were racing through his head. But currently he wanted to make sure she was ok and just keep an eye on her. He thought about a few things. 'I guess it is good she's in this place… hopefully it will help her come back to school…to us….to me.' He took his eyes off her for a bit and checked his phone. It was on silent due to school and he figured it should be kept that way due to the circumstances. He saw, though, he got three texts, two from Brianna and one from Gunther.

Bri: Did you find a way to watch Kendall?

Do you need help?

He read hers first.

Gunther: Do you think you'll be able to help Kendall if you alone sneak in to see her?

He texted them back.

Kick (To Bri): Yes and maybe, I'll let you know.

(To Gunther): TBH, I doubt it. She's still not herself, but I'll try.

He put his phone away and glanced back at Kendall. He saw she had put her ipod on a doc, playing some music of hers. It was actually really good music. Kick was versatile in his music choice but he never would have guessed Kendall listened to rock and alternative music. 'But to be honest… there was a lot I didn't know about her.' He continued to think. He felt his pocket vibrate and went back to his phone, still listening to the music.

Bri: Is she okay? Are you talking to her?

Kick: She seems to be ok…well you know. And no, I'm just watching her, making sure she's safe.

B: Oh…

Did you try talking to her? Or did she shut us out again?

K: Actually she snuck out of her house when I was going to sneak in and came to this weird looking building. She's just listening to music and laying on the floor.

B: Why haven't you tried talking to her?!

And where's this place? We need to go there ASAP!

K: NO! Last thing we need is her shutting us out again by staying in her house.

….Just let things go through naturally…. It's hard, but for her it'll be worth it if she comes back.

B: ….Okay…. just text me if you need help, or anything ok.

K: Ok. TTYL.

They ended their conversation. Kick let out a sigh. 'Will you ever be back Kendall?' He thought, then something caught his ear and he quickly glanced back inside. He saw she was playing the piano and singing. 'Since when could you do that?' He got a curious look. He listened to the music she played, the songs were sad, but her voice made them even more so. She had a remarkable voice and could play beautifully. 'When did you learn to be so much more amazing? Even in your state, you still are so talented… and incredible.' He admired her. He closed his eyes leaning against the frame and wall, still able to peer in, listening to her. He did this for hours. It finally got really late at night. He saw she stopped playing and grabbed her ipod. She glanced at the mirror then started to walk to the door. Kick quickly hid. She turned the lights off and shut the creaky door, heading back in the direction she came. He followed. She returned to her house, doing what she normally did. He watched as she entered, then couldn't see her anymore. He let out a sigh. 'At least she's home…' He wasn't sure how to feel but knew she was safe and decided to head back home himself, wanting to get some sleep. He caught a small glimpse into Kendall's emotions but hopefully soon, she'll be okay….hopefully.
