POV: Kendall Knight

The only thing I remembered seeing was the horse's hoof fly at my head and a flash of Destinee's bright red hair.

My eyes fluttered open a while later. All I saw was white and I instantly thought that I had died and gone to heaven.

"Kendall?" I heard Destinee ask.

I moaned.

"Kendall, wake up."

"Dest?"

"Yes, Kendall, it's me."

"Am I dead?"I asked.

"No. the kick from the horse just knocked you unconscious."

"Oh." I saw the red of her hair come into focus, along with her bright blue eyes and small features. "There you are."

"I've always been here."

I laughed. "You're pretty."

"Kendall, I have a boyfriend."

"Right. Then why are you here be yourself?"

"Because he's in the bathroom."

"And by 'bathroom' do you really mean the ugly depths of hell in your heart?"

"What? No!"

"Jeez, getting feisty now, aren't we?"

The door opened and a Latino boy around 16 walked in.

"Who're you?" I asked defensively.

"Kendall." Dest put a hand on my shoulder. "This is Carlos, my boyfriend."

"Oh, you mean the one you don't care about?"

Carlos' eyes grew wide. "Bathroom," he said quickly and left.

I looked up at Destinee and smiled at her.

"What was that for?"

"I LOVE YOU, DESTINEE!" I wrapped my arms around her in an awkward hug.

She just moved my arms away from her.

"Don't you love me?" I crossed my arms over my bare chest.

"Of course I do. You're my cousin. I have to."

"Then why don't you hug me back?"

"If you weren't on anesthetics, I'd slap you."

"I'm special."

"Yeah, you are," she said without even a hint of sarcasm.

I looked up at her carefully. "What do you mean by that?"

"Thank you. For risking your life to save me."

I pounded my fist against my chest. "It's just the testosterone, baby."

She smiled. "Thanks."

Then she leaned down and kissed me.

POV: Lee Morgans

Once I got off the plane in LA, that Miley Cyrus sang "Party in the USA" popped into my head. Very ironic.

"You're back," Bitters said, shock evident in his voice.

"I'm trying to make it on my own this time," I answered, resting my arms on the fancy-schmancy Palmwoods desk.

"I see. 2K's vacant and waiting for you with open arms." He put a key on the desk.

"Thanks." I grabbed the key and went to the elevators, thankful to get away from him.

When I got to my apartment, I saw James come out of his next door. He glared at me, and walked off.

"You're back," Gustavo said, even less thrilled than Bitters did. "By yourself."

"I didn't need the others. I'm trying to make it myself this time."

Kelly eyed the guitar case slung over my shoulder. "Still playing bass?"

"Nope. She's an acoustic." I patted the body of the guitar.

"Well, let's see what you've got." Gustavo pointed to the little recording room.

It was then that I forgot all the new songs that I had written for this point in my journey. So, I resided on one that I'd written for my niece a couple years ago.

"Mid-July, you opened my eyes.

That tiny face, your slow and simple pace.

It was all new for me,

You in my arms and fast asleep.

Never felt this way before

In mid-July of 1994.

"You beautiful child.

The way your eyes shined,

The way your form fit in my arms.

That fiery red hair

And those caramel eyes

Make me weak,

You baby girl, you beautiful child.

"Now you're grown, you're so beautiful.

As I watched you grow up and break away.

Now it's routine for me,

Holding you in my arms and fall asleep.

Never felt this way before

In mid-July of 1994.

"The separation, the desperation,

I can't live without you.

I need you next to me, to feel your warmth.

Baby, I'd die for you.

"You beautiful child.

The way your eyes shine,

The way your form fits in my arms.

That fiery red hair

And those caramel eyes

Make me weak.

You baby girl, you beautiful child."

I gave a quick nod to Gustavo to tell him that the song was over.

He pressed the button and his voice came through the speakers. "That was…"

I braced myself for the next word. It could make me or break me.

"That. Was. Fantastic."

POV: Kendall Knight

If I was doped up before, when Destinee's lips touched mine, it sure snapped me back to reality. And oh my god it was wonderful…

I put one hand on her waist and the other on the back of her neck to keep her there longer. If this wasn't heaven, I don't know what would be.

After a few more seconds, I let her pull away.

"What was that for?" I asked.

"Just a little 'thank-you' present."

Then I saw Carlos standing there, eyes wide and jaw dropped in shock.

POV: Carlos Garcia

"Umm… Dest… can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure." She hopped up from her chair and followed me out to a dark, back hallway.

"Why were you kissing him?" was the first question out of my mouth.

"How else was I supposed to give him a sufficient thank-you gift?"

"What about, I dunno, a hug? Or a real present?"

"Carlos, you've gotta chill." She came up in front of me and just started kissing me.

I don't know how long we were standing there, making out, but I felt better after it was done.

Much.

Much.

Better.
