Author's Note: Sorry, I didn't update this story sooner. It's just that SOL's are next week and the week after, so I've been busy with study guides and other things of that nature. But, I finally found the time to write this chapter and post it! So far this chapter is my longest chapter yet! And, speaking of long chapters after my SOL's are done I'm going to have more time to write so expect longer chapters that contain more drama!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything associated with BTR or the show. I only own the plot, Winter, and any other OC's in the story.

So, here's Chapter 5! Enjoy!

Chapter 5

Once Winter arrived home she began avoiding any and everyone. She locked herself in her bedroom and regardless of the constant knocks at the door by Ali who was pleading with her to come out, Winter always told her no, and went back to ignoring everyone. After what happened in the alley with Kendall all Winter wanted was to be left alone, so that she could figure out what the hell had happened.

As any girl most likely would, Winter felt violated. She didn't know what the hell Kendall was thinking, but she didn't like it even the slightest bit. It disgusted her to no end. She already had a boyfriend. A boyfriend who Winter refused to lose just because of a gang leader's newly found obsession with her. It was stupid just thinking about it.

Winter couldn't seem to grasp that fact that in just a little under a week she went from being simply the younger sister of Blayne Alexander all the way to being his rival Kendall Knight's newest obsession. It was as if she had suddenly been sucked into a black whole that refused to ever spit her back out.

She hadn't signed up for any of this. When she had first found out about her brother's bad boy lifestyle she was guaranteed that for no reason whatsoever would she ever get mixed up in his lifestyle. But, of course, as Winter now knew her brother didn't have control over every little aspect nor situation in life.

Winter was broken out of her thoughts by the sound of another knock on her bedroom door. "Go away, Ali!" she called out.

"It's not Ali," her brother's voice came from the other side of the door.

Winter closed her eyes and took in a deep breathe. Opening her eyes she paused her tv and got off of her bed. Walking over to the door she unlocked it and opened it. "What do you want, Blayne?" she asked, turning and walking back to her bed.

Blayne entered the room closing the door behind him. "I wanna know why my baby sister has been locking herself in her bedroom for the past seven hours refusing to come out for anything," Blayne told her taking a seat at the foot of her bed.

Winter smiled to herself as she momentarily flashed back to when she and Blayne were kids. He was always such a good brother. Whenever she needed someone to talk to or comfort her he was always there for her. Even now that he was the leader of a gang and one of Miami's top two feared people when it came to her he still pushed his bad boy ways to the side for a while.

"Winter," Blayne said snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, right," she said seeing the look on his face. Winter bit her bottom lip. There was no way in hell that she could tell her brother the true reason she was refusing to leave her room. Therefore, so that she wouldn't be fully lying see decided to tell Blayne what Ryan had told her earlier at the diner.

"I found out why Kendall Knight did what he did to Ryan," Winter half truthfully confessed.

Blayne raised an eyebrow. "How'd you find out?" he questioned curiously.

"Apparently, Kendall told Ryan why and I forced Ryan to tell me," Winter answered hoping he didn't read the look on her face and know that she was keeping something from him.

Winter got lucky when her brother spoke again, "What did Ryan tell you was the reason?"

"He just said that Kendall threatened him to leave Miami and never return or he'd finish him off for good next time," Winter said leaving out the part where Kendall also threatened Ryan to break up with her. That part wasn't important now.

"Knight threatened one of my guys to leave town," Blayne saidanger boiling in his blood as he stood up abruptly.

Winter's eyes widened at her brother's sudden anger. "Umm...where are you going?" Winter asked Blayne suddenyl alert herself.

Blayne turned and looked at her and in a serious tone of voice answered, "The gang and I are going to go pay Kendall a surprise visit."

"You're not going to kill him are you?" Winter asked biting her lower lip.

"I haven't decided yet," Blayne answered crossing his arms. "Did you want to go with just in case?"

"Why would I want to go with?" Winter wondered turning her tv off and standing up.

"You said the other day when they beat up Ryan that you wanted to be there when I killed him," Blayne said refreshing Winter's memory.

"Oh, right. I remember now," she said as it all came back to her. "Umm...no, I'm just going to stay here." Her words shocked herself as well as Blayne. Why wouldn't she want to go and see Kendall possibly get killed? Her life would return back to normal if he wasn't in the picture. But, why did she say no then? "I'll call Ryan and let him know what's going on," Winter told Blayne still wondering what the hell had caused her to even think about saying no. "Just be safe. You never know what'll happen," Winter informed him hugging him and kissing his cheek.

She laughed when he shrugged off her hug and wiped off his cheek. Blayne never was one who liked any type of affection. But, then again neither was she. She only did that because she in fact knew that what she had just said to him was true. No one really ever knows what'll happen. She and Blayne as well as their oldest brother, Landon, all learned that the hardest way when their mother just up and left a month before they moved to Miami.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine," Blayne assured her, turning and walking out the door.

Winter waited until she heard the apartment door close before rushed to her walk-in closet, grabbed a change of clothes and quickly changed into them. She had no idea what came over her all of a sudden, but something inside of her told her that she should...no, actually had to go warn Kendall about what was going to happen not to long from now.

She wasted no time as she ran out into the living room, grabbing her car keys along the way, and running for the door. Not even caring to make sure it was locked Winter bolted out the door, and down the apartment building hallway. Normally she would've taken the elevator, but since she was in a rush she took the stairs. Running down the stairs Winter couldn't help, but curse her oldest brother, Landon, for renting an apartment on the seventh floor.

By time she made it down to the hotel lobby she was so full of adrenaline that she ran out the lobby door not evening thinking about Blayne possibly still being there. Unfortunately, Blayne was still in fact in the parking lot waiting for his whole gang to arrive. Winter spotted him just in time, and stopped dead in her tracks.

"Damn!" she cursed, ducking behind a bush that decorated the front of the apartment building. He could not see her coming. If he did, then Winter knew she'd be screwed. She would no longer have a choice, but to tell him the truth. Winter watched carefully, and waited until his back was turned before she made a run for it. "Please don't look! Please don't look!" she exclaimed to herself running across the parking lot. Winter got lucky and she made it to her car and inside without being caught by Blayne.

Not taking her chances, Winter started the car, pulling out quickly, and speeding out of the parking lot taking a sharp left turn heading south. Winter's palms were sweaty as she drove down the crowded street, swerving in and out of other cars. She hadn't the slightest idea as to why she even cared what happened to Kendall.

After everything Kendall's done to ruin her life in the past week that she'd known him, he didn't deserve her sympathy or anything for that matter. Yet, here she was speeding down a crowded road knowing fully well that she was in danger of getting pulled over, or hitting some innocent bystander, but she couldn't bring herself to care. What the hell was going on with her?

Before long Winter found herself less than a mile away from the boundary line, and pulled into a nearby parking lot. She parked in the middle of the parking lot between two trucks just in case Blayne got to the line before she could leave. The last thing Winter wanted was for her brother to find out about what had been going on the past week that way.

Getting out of her car and locking it she catiously walked out of the parking lot and headed towards the south side of town. Many times while walking before she passed over the boundary line Winter thought about turning around and letting the chips fall where they may, but each time whatever it was inside of her forced her not to.

Her nerves finally got the best of her once she was in Kendall's territory, and no longer in the safety of her brother's. It was around nine at night and Winter was walking alone on an unfamiliar territory. Her only saving grace was the fact that the streets of Miami were always lit up like christmas trees by tons and tons of street lights.

Winter walked slowly down the street sidewalk not knowing where she'd find Kendall at. Luckily, though, as if on que halfway down the sidewalk about twenty feet away from her she spotted Kendall along with Logan, James, and Carlos walking her way. She had no idea where they came from since they hadn't been there a minute ago, but she didn't question it.

She walked a few more steps before stopping and just standing there. Winter didn't want to be too far onto the south side territory just in case she had to run for her life for any reason. It wouldn't surprise her one bit if this idea of hers to warn Kendall about Blayne's surprise attack turned out that way. Nothing dealing with Kendall ever turned out well for her it seemed.

"You just couldn't get enough of me, could you?" Kendall asked with his usual smirk once he was in hearing distance.

Winter scoffed and rolled her eyes exclaiming, "Yeah, right! You wish!"

"Well, then if not that, what do I owe to this honor?" he asked.

"Blayne's got his gang together and he's planning a surprise attack on you any minute now," Winter answered getting straight to the point as she crossed her arms over her chest.

Kendall raised a bushy eyebrow. "And, how would you know that?" he wondered curiously.

"Ryan told me," Winter told him lying straight through her teeth.

"And, yet you're telling me?" Kendall asked pleasently surprised at what he was hearing.

"What is that suppose to mean?" Winter shot back with her own question.

"Well, after everything I've done...well, with beating your boyfriend to a bloody pulp and kissing you and all, I would've figured that you would want me dead and out of your life for good," Kendall explained to her placing his hands in the pockets of his tight black jeans that Winter noticed fit him perfectly and looked damn good on him.

Kendall smirked as he noticed Winter looking at him very intently. "Like what you see?"

Realizing that she was staring at him, Winter quickly shaked herself back to reality, and ignored his question going on with his statement from earlier, "You're right, I do want you dead and out of my life for good, but if you're to be killed I at least feel you should stand a chance at possibly living."

"Stand a chance?" Kendall laughed. "I'm sure I can handle anything that comes my way."

It was Winter's turn to laugh. "Yeah, I hate to break it to you, but four on eleven...the odds don't look so good for you," Winter told him. "Therefore, you should really get on getting your whole gang together because any minute Blayne and his gang could be here, and you wouldn't not want to be prepared," she added.

Usually, Kendall would've been able to think of something to say in return, but he couldn't seem to think of an argument for what Winter said. Not wanting to seem like he was losing his touch for not replying Kendall asked with a mischievious grin, "Do I get a kiss for good luck?"

A mischievious grin of her own found its way onto Winter's face. "You said it yourself you can handle anything that comes your way," she smirked using his words on him. "The last thing you need is a good luck kiss. Besides, I'm still pissed off about you practically tongue raping me earlier," Winter told him bluntly.

"KNIGHT!" a voice was suddenly heard before Kendall could reply to Winter's comment.

"Oh shit!" Winter exclaimed to herself recognizing it as Blayne's voice right away.

"Logan, James, Carlos get the others now!" Kendall ordered suddenly.

"Yes, boss," they all three said in unison before running off to follow there orders, leaving Winter and Kendall alone.

Not turning around in fear of Blayne noticing her there she looked directly at Kendall and smiled briefly, "Well, I hope the rest of your gang is close by. Otherwise, it's more than likely lights out for you," she said shocked when she felt a pang of sadness.

"Does that possibility make you sad?" Kendall asked catching sight of the slight sadness in Winter's eyes.

"No!" Winter exclaimed quickly avoiding anymore eye contact with him.

"Are you sure about that?" Kendall asked her moving in closer.

A shiver ran up and down Winter's spine as she felt Kendall's breath on her face. She bit her lower lip, and forced herself to control her breathing. She had to get out of here, and quick. Winter didn't know what it was, but there was something about Kendall that made her feel things she never thought possible. To say the least it freaked her out really bad.

"Are you sure about that?" Kendall asked again when Winter didn't answer him the first time.

"I have to go," Winter said quickly beginning to turn around, but heard her brother scream Kendall's last name again reminding her that her brother was at the boundary line. "Damn it!" she exclaimed turning back to Kendall. "Is there another way to get back to the north side without having to go through Blayne and his gang?" Winter asked him even though she didn't want to. She just wanted to be on the north side in the safety of her beachside apartment.

"Next block over," Kendall answered motioning his head to the Winter's right. "It'll lead you to the parking lot where you parked your car."

Winter's eyes widened. "How the hell do you know where I parked my car?" she asked before realizing she'd rather not know. "Wait! Never mind. I don't want to know."

"I keep my eye on you," Kendall confessed to her with a slight smirk that wasn't as noticeable as his usual one.

Winter scoffed and shook her head, "You really are obessed with me, aren't you?"

Kendall shook his head and said, "Obsessed isn't the right word...determined is a better one."

"Determined?"

"Determined to make you mine," Kendall told her point blank sending shivers up and down Winter's spine.

Winter was briefly frozen solid in her place. She swallowed the lump in her throat and forced herself to stop acting like she was scared because she really wasn't. "I'm gonna go," she said quickly brushing past Kendall without another word. Once she was a considerable amount of feet away from him, Winter broke out in a run, and didn't stop until she made it back into the safety of her car.
