A/N: I know it's been quite a while since I updated this story but a lot of has been happening in life and besides that there is the fact that I just didn't feel up to writing. So since I am updating all of my stories, well at least trying to, I thought why not this one. Anyways, I hope you enjoy so scroll down and read.

Chapter Five: The Start of a New Kind of Friendship

Life without Kendall was indescribable. I missed him a lot but as weeks, then months passed I hardly even thought about him. There would be times that I would just stop to think about what trouble he has gotten into or if the army has actually helped him like his original plan was. Although I hoped the answer was yes, I could already tell that the answer was no.

Since Kendall had told me his final goodbye, a lot has changed for me. I was still single, not a guy in sight, but that didn't mean that I had given up looking. But besides my lack of romance in my life, I had changed a lot as a person. I wasn't really someone that people just walked all over anymore. I had graduated high school, went to St. Louis and had the time of my life for a few days, made a lot of new friends and then I started my first year of college at the local community college in town.

Carlos was really the only person that I liked that went there. All of the friends I had made over summer and almost all of my old friends from high school were either at different colleges or still in high school. However, Carlos and I grew even closer and for the first time I had told him about my old feelings about Kendall and we had a small laugh about it, discussing how both of us fell into a cycle that hardly anybody kept away from. It's not like Kendall was a player, which he really wasn't, it was more along the lines that a lot of people wanted him but he was so wrapped up with Jett and himself that Kendall could really be oblivious to everything else.

Kendall and I hardly talked anymore, whenever we would talk it would just be a simple hi on Facebook or a howdy which was the way that Kendall liked to write hello. Other than that there was no contact between us and I was perfectly fine with that.

However, one day I got this really strange message on from him when I was just messing around on Facebook. It was a simple You are going to kill me when I tell you something. Curiosity was rapidly growing in through my body.

Why? I typed just a simple response.

Because I did something really stupid. Of course he did, when didn't he do something stupid that he later regretted? I knew I was being a little bitter but that was just the part of me that wanted him to stop being so moronic and do something responsible for once.

How bad is it?

That depends on how you react to it. I was confused by the sentence but continued to type anyways.

So you think I'm going to react badly? I already knew the answer to that. Whenever Kendall did something stupid I would hit him or give him a small lecture. I knew that I was like my father when I acted like that but I couldn't help it.

Well, you tell me. I knocked up one of my coworkers. My eyes went wide when I read that. "He what!" I yelled to myself in my room. I couldn't believe it, out of all the things he could do, he had to go and get someone pregnant. A fellow member in the army for that matter. After that I yelled a little at him, but I also understood. God knows he slept around I just thought that he would have been more careful.

Towards the end of our conversation that night we began to discuss baby names. This made me smile, thinking about how he was stepping up and taking responsibility. It also made me smile knowing that he was stepping up and taking care of this. Through the entire conversation we agreed only on one name, Peter. He really liked it and I thought that the name would really suit his child, even though the girl he had knocked up had just found out that she was pregnant.

When Kendall and I had both logged off to go to bed, I couldn't find myself being able to sleep. All I kept thinking about was how lucky that girl was to have Kendall taking care of her. I know that I shouldn't be jealous over this girl who was going possibly going to lose her career in the army because of Kendall but to have him there for her, hell it was more than that. Just to be able to sleep with him, that's the true reason I was jealous. I knew that I should be over him but I still wanted him. He was just so special and no matter how much I wanted to forget about him and just give up I couldn't.

A/N: So I know that this is a shorter chapter but the real drama really starts to happen in the next chapter so stay turned and don't stop reading.
