I was walking around a local farmers market a few days later, looking for a perfect apple. I had been craving one for a while. Plus, I just needed some alone time.

For the past few days, I haven't been alone for longer than 2 minutes. I know Ali and Bi care and are just trying to help, but a girl needs some time to think! This way I knew I could get at least some alone time. Mostly.

I was looking through a bin of apples when a little girl came up to me.

"Are you McKenzie Holidey?" She looked up at me with big blue eyes.

"Umm.. Yes, I am." The second I said that, she started to jump up and down.

"Mommy! Mommy! It is her!" A woman came up after the girl, who I just assumed was her daughter, and smiled.

"Really, sweetie?"

"Umm… I'm sorry, but do I know you?" I seriously have never seen these people in my life. I think.

"I don't think so. My daughter just saw a poster for a movie, and she saw your name on it. Then she saw you and got very excited." The woman smiled. I looked at her.

"Poster? What poster?" She pointed to her left.

"Come on Maggie." The woman said to the little girl, who gave me a hug and ran after her mom. I smiled and walked towards where the woman had pointed. It was true, there was a poster, and I was on it, as was my name. There was a voice behind me that nearly scared the hell out of me.

"Want me to take a picture with your first movie poster?" I turned around to see Kendall standing there.

"What?"

"You know, keep a memory. This is pretty big for you." He smiled. I sighed and nodded, handing him my phone. I walked over by the poster and smiled. He took a picture. "Perfect." He handed it back to me, and it really was a nice picture. "So, what brings you here?"

"Search for the perfect apple. And some quiet time. You?" I looked at him.

"I'm here every Saturday." He smiled. "If you want the perfect apple, I can show you where to find one. If you're interested." He winked, and I smiled.

"Fine, but if I get lost, you better help me get home." He laughed and started to walk away. I followed him, since he promised to show me the apples. Once I caught up to him, he started the awkward conversation.

"He really misses you, you know." Out of the corner of my eye, I could see him looking at me, but I stared forward as if the world depended on it. And sighed. I do that a lot.

"Then how come he's avoiding me?" I tried to keep my voice as cool as possible, but dramatically failed.

"He's not avoiding you. At least he's trying not to. He just can't bring himself to call." I caved and looked at him. Damn, his eyes were really green. How did I not notice that before?

"Really?" I asked, not fully believing him. Logan was obviously avoiding me.

"Really. What happened… It really hurt him." I just looked at the ground.

"I know…" I said almost silently.

"You know that if he knew about Kyle and you being friends…"

"… Maybe things would have turned out differently. It doesn't help that I had been hanging out with Kyle instead of him…" I sighed.

"It really doesn't." And that was all he said on the subject. For now. "And, here we have some of the best apples you can find within a 10 mile radius!" He gestured towards the cart.

"Oh Kendall, you know it's only 8 miles." Smiled a girl from behind a counter. She had wavy dirty-blonde hair, and looked almost like a female Kendall. Weird.

"And you know that's a lie, Jessie." He smiled at her, and then looked at me. "Jessie, this is Kenzie. Kenzie, this is Jessie." I shook her hand.

"So you're Kenzie! I've heard so much about you from the guys." She smiled at me.

"And I have heard little about you! Haven't had much contact with these guys lately. How did you and Kendall meet?" She sighed.

"Well, actually a few weeks ago, he accidentally tipped over our apple cart. I had to pick them up, but he wouldn't leave until I let him help. We got to talking, and we became good friends." Kendall's smile faded a wee-bit when she said 'good-friends'.

"Aww. That's cute." I looked at him. "I'm going to get an apple or two. Then I really gotta run." I picked out two nice round apples, and paid for them. "It was nice meeting you!"

"You too!" She waved. I waved back and turned to walk away. About 10 feet later, Kendall came up to me.

"Oh, I forgot one thing." He said. He reached into his jacket and pulled out an envelope. "Here." He handed it to me. I just looked at it.

"Umm… Thanks? What is it, exactly?" I looked at him.

"A backstage pass. To our concert Friday."

"Okay, why are-"

"You and Logan need to work this out. You can't just avoid each other for the rest of your lives. So, you have a choice. You can come to the concert, and work it out then. Or, you can get him to call you by yourself. It's your call." He looked at me.

"I… It's… uh…" I honestly didn't know what to say.

"Why don't you think about it. If you come, then you're ready to work it out. If not, you'll find a way. I know it." I just nodded. "I gotta run. Promised I'd help Jessie with some crates." He turned to walk away.

"Kendall?" I looked at him. He stopped and turned around.

"Yes?" He asked.

"Thanks." I gave him a small smile. He just nodded.

"No problem." Then he turned, and walked away.

I kinda just stood there for a few minutes, not sure what to do. Then I realized I was kinda standing in the middle of a Farmers Market. Completely blocking traffic. It actually wasn't until my phone buzzed that I noticed. Oops.

"Hello?"

"Hey! Where are you? I thought you said you'd be back an hour ago?" It was Bi.

"Sorry… Got caught up in some stuff. Plus I ran into Kendall. So, I was a little busy. What's up?"

"Nothing, we were just going to get some ice cream and noticed you still weren't back yet. Wanted to make sure you didn't get hit by a semi or something." I had to laugh at that. Always going to the worst conclusions. "Thanks for laughing at my humor. Want to get ice cream with us?"

I nodded. Then realized I was on a phone. I'm a little out of it today… "Yeah, sounds great. Meet you there?"

"Okay. We'll see ya in a bit." I hang up the phone. Just as I'm leaving, I turn around and see Kendall, who gives me a small wave. I return the wave, put the envelope in my pocket, and head to the ice cream shop.
