Here's the 3rd chapter!
Kendall ran outside into the Roque Records outside entrance, warm tears streaming down his soft cheeks. He slumped onto the entrance stairs, and let the refreshing breeze dance along his face. He couldn't exactly state why this 16 year old girl had this affect on him; he was usually pretty tough and could control his emotions easily. But just seeing her just made him break. It was almost as if they girl was his his kryptonite, even though she didn't know him.
Well, she could know him. Kendall shook at the thought. She surely would have said something if she recognized him. He really hadn't changed, and still went by the last name of Knight. She also knew that he always loved to sing. As a child, he would sing her all kinds of songs, any time of the day. It was how they bonded.
His thoughts were overtaken by a single memory, and not just any memory. It was A memory that changed his life forever.
Flash back. Kendall age 9, Katie age 5.
Katie and Kendall were sitting on the floor, playing with Katie's toys. Kendall loved playing with her, even if it was with childish toys.
"Kandle, will you please sing me a song?" Kendall smiled at the name. It was her nickname from her. She was the only one who was allowed to call him that. She had made it; as an infant, she couldn't get the "e" sound down. So, she would pronounce his name as "candle". She really liked the name, and continued to call him that even after she could pronounce his name. When she learned how to write, she made him a card and spelled it as Kandle. He thought it was really cute and original, and absolutely loved his nickname.
"Sure thing, waxy." he said with a grin. His mom would always call him frick and frack, peanut butter and jelly, and other phrases like that. But he wanted something much more original. So, He came up with waxy. Since he was called Kandle, he wanted something similar to a candle. Katie was the flame that made him, and his heart melt. And what does a flame make? Wax. All of her cuteness, kindness, and fun personality were what made her. Analogy: Her amazing personality; the flame, made her what she was; the wax. So he decided to call her Waxy. It was a cute name that he really liked. So now instead of frick and frack or peanut butter and jelly, they were Kandle and Waxy, the two inseparable Knights. And Kendall loved it. Their bond meant to world to him.
Kendall started humming, before getting into the song. It was here favorite song, and she loved it when Kendall sang it. It was called my girl, and was by the temptations. Katie split into a huge smile as he started the first verse.
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
My girl
I've got so much honey, the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
My girl
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Yeah
Katie smiled. Her favorite part was coming up next. Kendall said it was exactly how he felt about her; as long as he had her, he didn't need anyone or anything else. He wouldn't trade the world for her.
I don't need no money, fortune or fame
I got all the riches baby, one man can claim
Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin' 'bout my girl
My girl
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
With my girl
I've even got the month of May
With my girl
Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout
Talkin' 'bout my girl, my girl
That's all I can talk about
Is my girl
Katie giggled and clapped her hands as he finished singing. He stood up, took a bow.
"Well, this song is dedicated to my lovely little sister, Waxy!"
This sent Katie into another fit of giggles. She just loved her brother. Even though she was only 5, she knew her brother had SO much talent, and was just amazing. He even told her that his dream was to be a famous singer, but told her to keep it a secret cause it he was embarrassed. Katie couldn't understand why, because she thought having a famous popster brother would be super cool. Almost as cool as having a superhero as a brother; in her mind, her brother was a superhero. He was the best person on earth, and he would do anything to save her. She always felt so safe around him, which was something she absolutely treasured. Her brother meant everything to her.
Her giggles started to die out, and she stared into Kendall's green orbs. Her face turned serious, and waited for Kendall to look her back in the eyes.
"Kandle, you're awesome. You just have SO much talent it's crazy. Don't you forget that ok?
Kendall was shocked by her words. He knew she was exceptionally smart for a 5 year old, but still, she was only 5 years old for crying out loud. Yet, she somehow was unbelievably wise. The next thing she said to him, really stuck with him.
"Don't let anyone or anything ruin your singing dream. You deserve it Kandle; cause you're amazing. Promise me that you will never give up? Ok?"
These words had hit him hard. They had formed him into who he is today. They made him take every risk he took. It was all because of these words, everything would be ok in the end. As long as his sister was by his side, life would always be ok.
End of flashback
Kendall sighed. This memory was one he treasured. He had locked it up, and attempted to keep it out of his mind. But that girl was the key that opened it. Why did that stupid girl have to come at such a critical time? He was already filled stress with the music video and tour. He also had to deal with pretending he was straight; faking his attracted to girls and adoring fans. On top of that, he had to deal with this girl, who just drove him completely insane. He was tired of pretending, was it really worth all the fame?
His thoughts were interrupted by the Roque records doors closing. He didn't turn around, and tried to recollect his thoughts. But, that didn't last. He could feel the beings presence, which was confirmed as he felt a small hand placed on his shoulder. The figure sat down next to him, not saying a word. It stayed like this for a while. Neither one of them spoke, but it wasn't exactly an awkward silence, nor a comfortable silence either. There was some tension, but neither one of them knew how to break it. Finally, the girl spoke.
"I, um, got the job. I'm excited to work with you."
"Oh, that's cool. I'm excited to work with you too."
" Oops! Forgot to introduce myself officially, my names Katie. Katie Bravo."
She said, holding out a hand.
"Kendall, Kendall Knight." he answer, holding up his own hand it shake hers.
"Yea, I know who you are. I'm a huge fan. Ever since I was little, when you would do your little shows that would be put up on YouTube and stuff. I promise I'm not a crazy stalker of fan girl or anything." she says holding up her hands. This receives a chuckle from the blonde.
"Are you ok? You seemed really upset when I walked in." Katie asked, not sure if
he would reply.
Kendall hesitated, before answering,
"Yea, I'm fine now."
"That's good. You um, want to talk about it? You don't have to if it's to personal. I totally understand."
"Just stressed. I just needed to get some fresh air." he lied. He doubted she'd believe him, but hoped she wouldn't ask any more questions.
Of course, his wishes weren't granted. The girl was determined.
"What are you stressed about?"
Kendall inhaled, debating on whether or not to answer, but decided he should. It felt good to talk to someone. But, he would tell her the complete truth.
"You know, the music video, the tour, people thinking I'm fake. Ya know, the typical Hollywood things. Since my single 'Cover Girl' is doing well, people are doubting my singing abilities and haters are just trying to bring me down. But hey, haters gonna hate right?" he said, surprised by what had come out of his mouth. He never realized that was bothering him. But it was. A lot of people were questioning his singing abilities. All stars get it. Before, he wasn't super famous, so people tended to leave him alone. But now since he was hot and popular, people needed to find fault in him. He really questioned what the world
had become these days.
"Well don't." the girl answered confidently.
"Don't let anyone or anything ruin your singing dream. You deserve it Kendall; cause you're amazing. Promise me that you will never give up? Katie stated, and then continued, " I got to go, see you Wednesday."
Kendall was stunned. Had she really just said that? He was so confused. She basically recited those same words. Was it just ironic? Or was there something else going on? He looked in her direction, but couldn't find her anywhere. All he wanted to do was cry; he didn't know what else to do. All he knew was he was confused, hurt, and desperately desired answers.
For the first time in his life, Kendall Knight felt completely helpless and lost.
