Chapter 14 : Emotional

I stood at the doorway for a few seconds glaring at the man. I was doing great actually, fabulous until I saw his face. Finally I looked at Shane and gave him a fake smile. He smiled genuinely back.

"Aww. Kendall. It's great to see you made it okay." Shane said and walked around his desk and gave me a friendly hug.

"Yeah. I had some company so it wasn't a total bore." I replied and sat on the other chair, next to the man.

Shane walked back to his chair and pointed to the man. "You remember Chris. Don't you?" He said.

I looked at Chris Masters with a glare and a sarcastic smile. "Yes, I remember him. How are you?" I asked him, catching him totally off guard.

"uhh, uhh, I'm good." He said.

"Well, great. Now that we are all reacquainted, we can get down to business. Now Kendall, I know you are probably wondering why I brought you here." Shane said looking at me.

"Yeah, kind of." I said hesitantly trying to forget that Chris was there but it was hard when he was staring a hole into me.

"I would appreciate it a lot if you could help me out with things going on here in the back. Like handing out scripts or making sure everything is in order." He explained while slipping on some glasses.

"That's manageable." I said sitting on the edge of the chair just waiting until I could get out of the room.

"Ok. All I need you to do is sign this sheet saying that you agree. You can give it to me after the show and enjoy the rest of the night." He said. We talked about where I would meet him that night and when to meet him tomorrow to go over details for the next show. Finally, he told me I could go and not even 30 seconds after I was out the door, I heard someone running behind me. I knew who it was and groaned.

"Kendall! Kendall! Wait up!" Chris called running to catch up with me. Finally, he ran in front of me, making me stop. I crossed my arms over my chest and sighed.

"What do you want Chris?" I asked annoyed but in a soft voice, wishing to be anywhere else at the moment.

"I need to explain." He said looking sorry, but I couldn't let his sad, sorry face get to me. I had to stay strong.

"I don't want a long explanation, I just want a few words telling me why you didn't call one time for three-almost four weeks." I said sadly, very close to tears.

"I am so sorry. I don't have a short reason. Please, can we just talk?" He asked desperately.

I sighed and looked at him for a minute wondering what I should do. "Fine. But not now."

"Okay. After the show? We can go somewhere to talk." He suggested sounded happier.

"Sure." I said and walked away. I walked down a couple different hallways looking left to right hoping to find a name on a door of someone I actually know. I stopped at the first door I saw and groaned when I saw who it was. Right now I just needed a shoulder to cry on so I didn't care who it was, except this guy, but I didn't have enough energy to make it to someone else. And, I didn't think I could go much further before I broke down. I shook myself to get ready for the onslaught of cocky comments and knocked softly. The person opened the door and at first looked surprised to see me but then got the same smirk he always has.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Miss Kendall." Carlito said. I didn't say anything, just looked at him with the same sad expression. Eventually, I guess the look got to him and he looked kind of sad too.

"Hey now. You look like your going to cry." He said. I nodded as my bottom lip trembled. "Aw. I don't like seeing girls cry. Come in." He said and gently pushed my shoulder into the room. The minute the door closed, I collapsed into his chest crying. He kept rubbing my back and 'shh'-ing me. I cried even louder and gripped his waist tighter. Right now, it didn't even register that this was a man that I hadn't got along with since day one and right now was holding me. At the moment, this was a good friend helping me get through a tough time. Carlito slowly brought us over to the couch, and sat down, sliding me into his lap. I moved my arms around his neck and hugged him to me while he hugged me to him from around my waist.

After about five minutes, my cries dulled into sniffs and dry eyes. I looked up at him and gave him a small smiled.

"Thanks. I needed that." I said.

"Hey. No problem." He said while pushing a strand of loose hair behind my ear. "Mind telling me what got you so upset?" He asked nicely.

I was shocked at first that he even gave a damn but then I realized that maybe I judged him too quick and he really is a great guy. I sighed and retold him the story and how I had really cared for Chris. He nodded.

"That's not cool." He said using his characters catch-phrase. I laughed and then tilted my head to the side while studying him.

"You know you are really aren't the bad guy that I thought you were." I said with a smile.

"And you aren't as bad as I thought you were." He said and smiled back. We sat like that for a while before there was a knock at the door. I slowly got off his lap and sat of the couch, with my legs tucked under me and me fidgeting with my fingernails and fingers.

I heard Carlito open the door and talk lowly with someone. I heard the door close again and I looked up from where i was looking at my hands. I saw Paul and smiled sadly. He came and sat on the couch next to me, while Carlito sat on the other side of me.

"Hey Beautiful, what's wrong." He asked and wiped his thumb under my eyes to catch a stray tear. That was all I could take before I burst out crying again. Just thinking of Chris right now made me cry. I didn't understand because I had held it in for three weeks and now I was letting it out.

Paul pulled me into his arms and let me cry on his shoulder. This time I got calm after a few minutes, but by the time I was finished, I was wiped out and fell asleep.
