Author's Note: Like I said it'd be this chapter is longer than the last one! It's not as long as I would like it to be, but I've got a lot planned for the next few chapters and I don't want to give it all away. And, also, for all of you who missed having Kendall around in the last chapter, then this chapter should make up for that!

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

So, here's Chapter 13! Enjoy!

Chapter 13

Winter looked at her phone for what seemed like the millionth time only to find that no one had called. She had called both Monroe and Ali at least eight times each and neither of them had called her back yet. It wasn't like either of them to not call back.

Even though Winter and Ali had a slight falling out that morning it wasn't an excuse as to why she hadn't called Winter back. The two of them never stayed mad at or distant from each other for too long. It just wouldn't be right if they did.

Winter shook her head and placed her cell phone back into her pocket. Then, she continued walking down the crowded Miami sidewalk. As she walked down the sidewalk window shopping something, or better yet someone, caught her eye.

Winter stopped walking instantly as she passed one of Miami's many restuarants. This restaurant just so happened to have outside dining. Sitting at one of the tables was none other than, Monroe, and the brown haired guy she was 'hanging' out with who had his back turned to Winter.

People walked around her as Winter stood frozen on the sidewalk watching as Monroe talked and laughed to the guy she was with. Since his back was turned to her, Winter couldn't tell who he was. The only way she'd be able to find out who he was was if she got closer, but then Monroe would probably think that Winter was spying on her, which she really wasn't.

Suddenly, Winter got an idea. She pulled her cell phone back out of her pocket and dialed Monroe's number. She watched as Monroe picked up her phone from the table and looked at the caller id. Monroe sighed and shook her head. Winter concentrated hard and read Monroe's lips as she told whoever she was sitting with that, "It's Winter again."

Winter stood on the sidewalk wide-eyed when Monroe pushed the end button and placed her phone back down onto the table. Then, she went back to talking, laughing, and having a good time as if Winter hadn't just called her at all.

"Damn her!" Winter exclaimed to herself.

She couldn't even begin to believe that her own cousin had actually ignored her call and just played it off as nothing. Now Winter knew for sure that Monroe was hiding something from her. She didn't want Winter to know the identity of the guy who was with her, which only meant one thing. Monroe was hanging out with a guy that Winter would be pissed to know she was with.

As of now Winter wanted nothing more than to find out who Monroe was hiding. Until she knew the identity of Monroe's new 'friend' Winter refused to let it go. As much as she loved Ali and Monroe, she would stop at nothing, even if it meant ruining her relationships with the two girls even more. The three of them could easily patch their relationships back up when everything was out and in the open.

Sighing, Winter shook her head and started walking again. As if her life wasn't already hectic enough now another obstacle was suddenly thrown at her. Walking her way on the sidewalk was none other than her current boyfriend, Ryan.

A scowl instantly appeared on her face. Winter slowed down her walking and watched him intently. The exact moment he saw her he froze dead in his tracks, looked at her for a short moment, and then turned and began walking the other way.

Winter's jaw dropped in shock and she could feel her blood begin to boil. Oh, no! That's not how it's going to happen. Ryan was not going to see her, look at her, and then just turn and walk away. He would not get away with that.

"RYAN!" Winter yelled running after him.

Heads turned to watch her as she ran down the sidewalk like a bitch on a mission. The last thing Winter cared about at the moment, though, was what other people thought about her. If she was on her way to causing a big scene in the middle of the sidewalk, then so be it.

"RYAN! DON'T YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME BASTARD!" Winter hissed finally catching up to him.

With her good hand she grabbed his arm and yanked him, so that he stumbled back, and turned around to face her. The two of them stood in the middle of the sidewalk for what seemed like forever just glaring at each other. If looks could kill, then the two of them would have both been dead laying on the sidewalk by now, which was lucky for them that looks didn't have that much power.

"What the hell do you want, Winter?" Ryan asked angrily.

"I want to know why you've been ignoring me for the past few days," Winter answered just as angrily as Ryan.

"Why the hell else? YOU CHEATED ON ME!" Ryan exclaimed with such fury that it took Winter by surprise.

Winter had never actually seen Ryan this pissed off before. But, either way he didn't have the right to be pissed off at Winter. It wasn't more than a few months prior that Ryan had cheated on Winter and she had decided to give him a second chance as long as they took it slow that time.

But, there was one difference between him cheating and her cheating was the fact that she came clean to him about it as soon as she saw him after it had happened. Ryan, on the other hand, had done everything he could to try and keep her from finding out.

"Oh my god! Seriously, Ryan? You cheated on me a few months ago and then tried to hide it from me, and you were sober during it! Me, on the other hand, I drunkenly cheat on you, and I confess my mistake to you! Hell, I even gave your ass a second chance! How dare you act like what I did was the worst thing ever, and that I don't deserve to be forgiven!"

Ryan stood there speechless. Winter did have a point, but that still wasn't an excuse for what she had done. Winter wasn't going to guilt him into forgiving her.

"You're not going to guilt me into forgiving you, Winter!" Ryan yelled shaking his head and turning around and walking off.

"YOU BASTARD! JUST WALK AWAY LIKE THE COWARD YOU ARE!" Winter screamed after him. "OH, AND ALSO WE'RE OVER!" she added breathing hard and clenching her fists at her side. "YOU JUST WAIT UNTIL I TELL BLAYNE ABOUT THIS!" Winter huffed turning back around and storming back to her apartment angrier than she'd ever been before in her life.

Kendall paced back and forth impatiently in front of the mansion stairs in the foyer waiting for James to return from his lunch with Monroe. James had called him less than an hour ago saying that he had some good news that Kendall would be happy to hear.

The sound of the front door opening and closing stopped him dead in his tracks. He turned and looked up to find James standing there with a smirk on his face that at the moment could've easily rivaled Kendall's signature smirk.

"Boss," he smirked.

"What's the good news you have for me?"Kendall asked waiting impatiently for the answer.

"Winter is back on the market," James answered right away.

Kendall raised an eyebrow. "And, you know this for sure?" he asked.

"I saw it go down with my own eyes," James answered nodding his head. "I was at lunch with Monroe when it all went down. Hell, everyone within a ten mile radius of the restaurant witnessed it," he laughed.

"It seems to me that I need to pay Winter a little visit, then," Kendall smirked his signature smirk looking at James.

"I'll call Monroe and find out where Winter is," James said pulling out his cell phone.

Kendall nodded before sinking into his own little world. Now that Ryan was no longer in the equation Kendall had a better shot at getting Winter right where he wanted her. It wouldn't be much longer until Winter was finally his.

"Boss," James said bringing him back to reality.

"Where is she?" Kendall asked anxiously.

"She's at her apartment with Monroe," James answered putting his phone back into his pocket.

"Take her out tonight, so Winter's the only one in the apartment," Kendall ordered in a serious tone.

James nodded and replied with a smirk," Already two steps ahead of you." A second later he added, "Oh, and wait until midnight before you go over."

"Why?" Kendall asked curiously.

"Apparently, Winter went out and got herself a job. She gets off at 11:00 and doesn't get home until midnight," James answered.

"Where does she work?" Kendall asked suddenly getting an idea.

"The Forge," James answered.

Kendall's smirk suddenly turned into a sick and sadistic grin.

Noticing the look on his face James asked, "What do you have planned?"

Kendall looked at him and answered, "I'm going to pay her visit outside of her work instead."

~BTR~

It was finally 11:00 and Winter couldn't have been anymore happier. Work had been extremely exhausting. Dealing with people for six straight hours sucked so bad at times. All Winter wanted to do now was go home, take a nice, relaxing shower, and curl up in bed with a good movie to put her to sleep.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Sara!" Winter called to her boss as she grabbed her purse from under the hostess podium.

"Alright, have a good night, Winter," Sara called back.

"You too," Winter replied with a smile before heading out the front door of The Forge.

Winter yawned tiredly and stretched her arms as she started walking down the deserted sidewalk. Her apartment was only a block away so she didn't have but so far to walk. It really only took about ten minutes to get from one place to the other.

As Winter was walking she suddenly started hearing footsteps behind her. Usually she would think it was just her footsteps since she always wore heels and they clinked against the sidewalk, but the footsteps she was hearing were definitely not heels.

Winter sped up her walking and every once in a while looked over her shoulder. Every time she looked, though, the footsteps would stop and no one would be behind her. Although she couldn't see anyone she knew there was someone else around.

She wasn't just imaging things. She's not crazy that's for sure. Although, sometimes she would do things and say things that would make people believe otherwise. But, she was sure that this was not one of the instances that she was possibly crazy.

"Looking for someone?" a familiar voice asked causing Winter to freeze mid step.

Winter's eyes widened and she swallowed the lump in her throat that had just formed. Biting her lower lip she slowly turned around to face the person that the voice belonged to. If she thought her life couldn't get any worse than it already was, then Kendall Knight standing right in front of her was proof that she was beyond wrong.

So, there y'all go! What'd you think?

So, Winter and Ryan are broken up, who knows what'll happen now?

Also, I've already started writing the next chapter of Dangerous To Know! So, that should be posted next week sometime!

Please review! I'm looking forward to reading what everyone thinks!

I except both ANONYMOUS and SIGNED reviews, so any and everyone feel free to review!
