The next day, Kendall was feeling a bit frustrated. It seemed as if everyone was avoiding him, and he didn't know why. He had called Etta nearly four times, but she never returned his calls. He knew he must have done or said something to freak her out. He must have had another headache because half-way through his talk with Dr. Mulligan, he couldn't remember anything.

"Okay…" Kendall said loudly as the room of people turned towards him. "Did I do something wrong? Every one of you are ignoring me." he said and he watched their eyes shift to one another. He looked at Kelly knowing she was the worst liar in the bunch and she looked away. "Kelly…what's going on?" he asked her and she stammered until Logan interrupted her.

"We…were just trying to make sure you were okay. I mean, you've been having bad headaches lately, and we didn't want to make them worse. Isn't that right, James?"

"Yeah…" James said quickly. "We just thought you needed some space." he said and Kendall looked as if he wasn't buying it.

"Carlos, come on…tell me the truth." he said and Carlos suddenly stuffed an entire corndog into his mouth before speaking. "Ugh…forget it." Kendall said feeling a little mad that he was being treated as if he had the plague. He sighed and left the studio to go outside for some fresh air. When the doors opened, he looked at his phone and tried calling Etta again.

"Hello." Etta answered. He knew something was wrong by the sound of her voice.

"Etta…I've been calling you all day. Did I do something wrong?" he asked and she let out a sigh. "I did do something wrong, didn't I?

"No…I…it's complicated. It's not you." she said and he felt like she wanted to tell him something. Why was he feeling like she knew more than what she was letting on?

"Are you sure? I'm only asking because my friends and your cousin have been ignoring me all day. I know I must have done something…or said something during my talk with Dr. Mulligan. Could you just tell me what it was so I can apologize?"

"I can't…not yet." she finally admitted that something was wrong. "I have to ask Dr. Mulligan if it's okay, because I want to make sure you can handle…"

"Handle what? What aren't you telling me?" Kendall asked and Etta let out another sigh.

"It has something to do with your session with Dr. Mulligan. Don't ask questions…I'll see if I can get in contact with him in case you want another session with him."

"I…uh…can you do it? I mean…I know you're not a professional, but I trust you. More than him. I just…need to know what's going on."

"I can't, Kendall. I need to have Dr. Mulligan do it…and he has to do it…alone." Etta said and Kendall felt as if his heart was being ripped out of his chest.

"I won't do it unless you're in there. Please, Etta. I feel comfortable whenever you're near me. Whatever is wrong with me…I know I'll feel better when you're near."

"Okay…I'll do it. Just…meet me in your hotel room and I'll see if I can get Dr. Mulligan to agree to another session."

"Okay…We're at the studio recording some songs, but we should be done by 7:00. Is that cool?" he asked and Etta sighed.

"Yeah…I should call him, now, so he'll know right away. I'll see you tonight." she said as she hung up. Kendall sighed as he went back into the studio. BTR finished recording their new song and were on their way to the hotel. When they arrived, Kendall spotted Etta and Dr. Mulligan talking in the hotel lobby.

"Hi…" Etta said as she stepped forward towards Kendall. The guys and Kelly smiled at Etta and Dr. Mulligan before going to their hotel rooms. "You're lucky Dr. Mulligan is so interested in helping you as I am. Are you ready?" she asked and he nodded. "Actually…I was thinking we could continue this in my office. Unless you prefer your hotel room…" Dr. Mulligan said and Kendall sighed. "It's perfectly okay if you do."

"Okay. Let's do this." he said as he gripped Etta's hand and she flinched a little. He was confused by her action but let it go as he went into his hotel room. Kendall sat on his bed and Etta stood near Dr. Mulligan.

"Okay, Kendall…I'm going to try to pick up where we last left off with our last session. Please feel free to answer my questions however you like. Are you ready to begin?"

"Yeah…" Kendall said with a sigh. He wished Etta was near him, but he figured since the last session probably didn't go well, she would keep her distance, but he didn't know why.

"Your recent headaches. I want to address those and the reason behind them. Do they usually occur before or after a specific event? A memory perhaps." Dr. Mulligan suggested and Kendall looked as if he was about to answer when his phone ran.

"Shit…I'm sorry." he said to Dr. Mulligan with an apologetic face. He saw his mother was calling him and he rolled his eyes. "I have to take this. It'll only be a second. I'm sorry." he said as Dr. Mulligan nodded. He went into his hotel bathroom and closed the door behind him. "Yeah…" he said as he answered his phone.

"Kendall…are you okay? Kelly called me…" she said but was cut off by Kendall.

"Wait, Kelly called you?!" he said getting angry. He knew she and his friends had his best interest in mind, but he still felt betrayed. Out of all the people in the world, he didn't want the one woman he thought he could trust knowing of his pain. It was her fucking fault anyway. "I'm 18...an adult. She had no right to call you, mom. I can take care of myself."

"Kendall, she said your were having headaches and memory loss. I mean, you never call me, so when I hear this coming from Kelly, I'm a little upset that you would leave me out of the loop." she said and Kendall just scoffed.

"Yeah…now, you know how I feel…" he said in a sad tone. He felt guilty for punishing his mother with silence for her lies, but he still felt hurt.

"Kendall…when are you going to forgive me for that? I know it's…you can never forget it, but…I didn't mean to lie to you all your life. I just…I knew your father was a better man than the man I…had the affair with. I knew he was going to be a better father for you and he was. Please, please…forgive me, Kendall."

"Mom…I have to go…" he said as he hung up. He held his head in his hands and closed his eyes and tried to think about the past. Before he found out his mother lied to him…before his parents divorce. Just then, he thought about the day he first saw his mom argue with his dad…or the man he thought was his dad. He clenched his lids tighter and shook his head trying to shake that memory out of his head. He still saw his mother, but she was arguing with someone he didn't know. Suddenly, it went dark. Keith stared back in the mirror.

"Keith…" Etta said and he chuckled in surprise. "I know you're out." she said and he opened the door. He stared at her with an amused look as and she backed away from him and his paralyzing gaze. "Dr. Mulligan…" she called out behind her and the older man jump up from the chair and stepped in between Etta and Keith to protect Etta from him.

"Really, old man…" Keith said with a laugh before he scowled and he punched Dr. Mulligan knocking him out cold before he grabbed Etta and shoved her onto the bed.
