AN: Thanks for the reviews! :D I decided to post this next chapter because the next weeks are super busy for me, and I may not be able to update again until next weekend. So, here's a nice long chapter for ya!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything

"Camille. Camille, babe, you're burning daylight" came a gentle voice. Camille opened her eyes and was met by the sight of Kendall leaning over her, smiling. "Well, hello, sleepyhead." he teased, gently twirling his finger around one of her dark curls. "Hi. Is…is everything okay?" she asked. Kendall didn't normally come to wake her up, yet he seemed perfectly calm. "Yeah, everybody's fine, but it's one o' clock." he replied. "In the afternoon?" Camille exclaimed. Kendall laughed, "Yes, in the afternoon". Camille sat up, "Why didn't you wake me earlier"? Kendall kissed the top of her head, "Because you needed your sleep after last night, and you looked adorable." he replied. Camille smiled at him and climbed out of the bed. She walked into the living room and towards the kitchen with Kendall, desperately seeking a glass of orange juice. "Where's everybody at?" she asked, noticing the rare silence in the apartment. "Katie and Logan went to the pool, Carlos is cleaning his room (don't ask), and Mom took James to his first physical therapy session." he said. Whoops, Camille had forgotten that James had had his session today at 12:45pm. Kendall handed her a glass of orange juice. "Thanks, Kendall. Gosh, I can't believe I slept so long. Now I'm way behind in my plans for today." Camille said. Actually, she didn't really have "plans" but more of possible things to do to keep her mind busy. She set her empty glass in the sink and kissed the side of Kendall's face, "I'm going to go back over to my apartment and shower, change, etcetera." Camille said, grabbing her purse and heading out the door. "Sounds good. See you in a bit." Kendall replied, waving as his girlfriend left.

It only took Camille around forty minutes to prepare herself for the day. Now wearing a fresh layer of makeup, clean curls, a pink knee-length skirt, and a heather gray v-neck tee, Camille headed back to 2J. Upon opening the door to the Knight's apartment, Camille was met by…a completely empty apartment. "Oooookayyy" she whispered to herself. Camille closed the door behind her and turned around. "Ah!" she exclaimed, jumping a foot into the air as she almost ran into Kendall. Camille laughed, "Kendall, what are you…" she trailed off when she saw the bouquet of a dozen roses that he was holding. Camille's mouth dropped open as she accepted the flowers Kendall handed her, "What-what are these for?" she asked, examining the breathtakingly beautiful red roses. "To remind you how much I love you, Camille. Also, to…um…thank you for everything you have done these past few…well, months." Kendall replied, tripping over his words adorably. "They are absolutely beautiful!" she said, playing with a soft petal. Kendall shrugged, "Meh. They're nothing compared to you." he said. Camille looked up from the flowers, feeling the blood rise to her cheeks severely, and set the roses on the table. Kendall wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her. "I love you, too" Camille breathed. Nope, she couldn't get enough of this man. However, kissing him on her tiptoes for a long period of time was difficult. Camille pulled away from him and hopped up to sit on the counter, resuming their kiss immediately. Kendall pressed his body up against hers and Camille slipped her hands into the soft hair at the base of his neck. He was growing his hair out in the back and it was almost too sexy to handle. The two of them were perfectly happy, completely satisfied as they enjoyed the heated moment…until they heard someone clear their throat. Kendall pulled away from Camille, a terrified look on his face as he turned to look at whoever was behind them. Carlos was standing there, looking utterly disgusted, holding his helmet in one hand and a corn dog in the other. Whoops, they had forgotten that Carlos was home. "Kendall. Get a room." the young Latino said. Kendall put his hands on Camille's hips and lifted her off of the counter and onto the floor. Camille shot him a brief miffed look, he shouldn't be lifting anything more than ten pounds and she was perfectly capable of jumping off of the counter. Although, perhaps he had just wanted to put his hands on her hips…he was naughty like that. He had more than enough circumstances when he went out of his way just to touch her - it was kind of adorable. "Sorry, buddy." Kendall said, patting Carlos's shoulder. "Mmhhmm and well you should be. I don't ever, EVER want to see that again." Carlos replied and walked back towards his room, still looking grossed out. Kendall and Camille smirked at each other, at least it hadn't been Mrs. Knight. Camille walked over and began putting the roses into a vase. "Thanks again, Kendall. I love them." she said, smiling at him lovingly. "You're very welcome" Kendall replied, kissing her one last time before going towards his bedroom.

Just a few minutes later, the door opened and Mrs. Knight and James entered the apartment. James looked completely exhausted, and not in the best of moods. "Hey, how'd it go?" Camille asked, setting the freshly arranged roses on the counter. Mrs. Knight shot her a worried look before answering perkily, "It went super well. It's going to take several weeks, but the therapist is confident that his arm will heal completely." Camille smiled at Mrs. Knight and watched James walk over and plop down onto the bright orange couch. "Well, that's good news! I remember the doctor gave me some instructions…give me a sec." Camille said, digging in her purse for the slip of paper. A few seconds later, she pulled an envelope out. "He recommends alternating between heat and ice after your sessions. Okay, heat or ice first, James?" Camille asked, trying to be chipper. It would be nice if James actually spoke. "Heat. Please." he whispered, still staring at his lap. Camille frowned and looked at Kendall's mom. It was kind of difficult to be perky when you received nothing back in the form of…at least eye contact. Camille just nodded to herself and grabbed a heat pack from the cabinet in the bathroom. She quickly activated the pack and handed it to James. "Thanks." he whispered, setting the heat pack on his arm. "Hey, Camille? Can I get some help?" Kendall called from his bedroom. Camille nodded to herself, under the illusion that Kendall could see her silent answer, and headed into his bedroom.

When Camille entered the room, Kendall was lying on his bed, completely stretched out, and just wearing a loose pair of khaki shorts.. Camille's eyebrows shot up into her hair. If her boyfriend was trying to be cruel, it was working. Kendall laughed, obviously noticing her shocked expression. "Aw, Camille. Get your mind out of the gutter." he teased. "Will you help me with my bandages?" he asked. Camille nodded, willing the dirty thoughts away, and sat on the edge of the bed. "Sure thing." she said, grabbing the cleaning solution the doctor had given them and the fresh bandages. Snapping on a pair of disposable gloves, Camille got to work. Removing the old bandages only revealed the gash that she had never wanted to see again. It was still a wound…she had hoped that it would just be a faint pink scar, but obviously that was asking for a miracle. Goosebumps covering the skin of Kendall's torso and chest was the only reaction caused by the cool cleanser being poured over the wound, and Camille was grateful for that. After the wound was cleaned and dried, she put the bandages over the wound and readied the medical tape. Camille put one gloved hand over the bandages, keeping them in place as she began to tape them in place. The feeling of putting pressure on bandages underneath her hand sent flashbacks and images flooding through her mind, hitting her like a ton of bricks.

"Please, just stop." begged Kendall, tears of agony streaming down his face. "Can-can I just leave him alone now, Camille? I-I think he's had enough." an upset James asked as he held Kendall down. Camille shook her head, unshed tears blurring her vision, and continued to apply pressure to the wound. "I can't, James. You know that. Just a few more minutes, Kendall, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." she whispered. The world seemed to spin around her as blood continued to leak through her fingers as she pushed down on the gash. A heart-wrenching cry escaped Kendall's lips and he arched his back off the ground. James held onto his friend's shoulder, trying to keep him still while Camille finished. James looked up at Camille, pure anguish evident in his eyes. "Please!" Kendall begged.

The sound of Kendall's cries echoed in her mind, and Camille was brought back to reality as her stomach turned violently, and her knees grew weak. Before she knew it, she was leaning over Kendall's trash can, emptying the contents of her stomach. Cool fingers gently grazed her forehead as they pulled her long curls behind her shoulders and held them there. Camille coughed one more time and covered her eyes with her hand. A few seconds later, she opened them and turned around. Kendall was kneeling behind her, gently holding her hair back, his green eyes worried as they watched her carefully. Camille wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and leaned against Kendall's bare chest. Kendall's long, toned arms wrapped around her carefully and he kissed the top of her head. "Are you okay?" he asked. There was no confusion in his voice whatsoever, Kendall knew what had happened. Camille exhaled deeply and nodded against him. A few minutes later, they stood up and she looked at up Kendall, who hugged her again. He grabbed the medical tape and sat back down on the bed. "It's okay, I can get the rest of it." he said reassuringly. Camille didn't argue with him and she headed towards the bathroom to brush her teeth.

Teeth brushed and face washed, Camille took a deep, shaky breath and stepped out of the bathroom. Maybe she wasn't as "okay" as she thought. Gosh, that flashback had been so realistic. Shaking it off, she ran her hands through her hair and grabbed a bottle of water. Camille looked over at the couch just in time to see James bite his lip as he repositioned himself. She casually walked over to the couch and sat down next him. "So, how was your first session?" she asked. James looked up at her, finally making eye contact, "It was…okay. Honestly, it didn't feel so good." he said. Camille nodded, "Yeah. The doctor said that soreness was inevitable with therapy. Hopefully the heat and ice will help, and eventually you'll get used to the sessions." she said and James just nodded. Awkward silence loomed for several minutes, and Camille finally got up and left to make herself busy. Kendall came walking out, completely dressed now, and headed towards the door. "Where are you going?" Camille asked. "Griffin wants us to perform at a summer barbeque slash party tomorrow. I thought I'd get a head start practicing before Carlos, Logan, and James get there." Kendall replied, slipping on a pair of vans. "Are you sure you guys are well enough to perform tomorrow?" Camille asked. If it were up to her…the boys would not have a performance for another two weeks. "Sure. It's just three songs. "Til I Forget About You", "Boyfriend", and "Big Time Rush". I think it will be easy." Kendall replied. "Will you let the other guys know to come to the studio in about two hours? I'll be back late tonight." he said, kissing the side of her face. "Are you okay?" he whispered in her ear. Camille nodded and smiled, "Yeah." she replied. Kendall just nodded and opened the door. "See you later." Camille said. Kendall smiled at Camille, the sight of his dimples instantly calming her, and then he closed the door.

James, Logan, and Carlos headed to the studios around 3:00pm, which left the apartment extremely quiet. Bored out of their minds, Katie, Mrs. Knight, and Camille had some bonding time while making brownies, muffins, and cookies. Needless to say, the boys were going to be VERY happy when they got home…and oh they were. All four of them arrived back at the room at a little after 9:00pm - which, to Camille, seemed like quite a long day for the boys. Especially too long for two boys that were recovering from a hellish camping trip, Kendall had left at 1:15, for goodness sake! The smell of freshly baked calories and sugar permeated the entire apartment, and the boys were more than eager to get their hands on the unhealthy food. Logan plopped down in one of the bar stools at the counter and grabbed a handful of chocolate chip cookies. "You girls…are angels." he said, sticking one entire cookie into his mouth. Camille laughed and patted the raven-haired boy's shoulder. "Jeez, don't choke on it, Logan." she said and he just smiled. Carlos began to quickly devour the muffins, as well, and James grabbed a few brownies and a Cuda magazine. Camille frowned as she watched the tall brunette leave and go to his bedroom with the snacks. She didn't know what was wrong, but she needed to figure it out…fast. However, her thoughts were interrupted as two arms wrapped around her waist from behind and a chin rested on her shoulder. "Okay, it's nap time." came Kendall's voice from behind her. Camille pulled away from him and turned to look at him. He looked tired. "Going 7 hours and 45 minutes without you…is absolute torture. I'd honestly rather be water boarded." Kendall said. Camille laughed and put her hand on the side of his face. "Well, we haven't been apart that long in quite awhile." she said. "You look really tired, Kendall". He nodded, the mere thought of how exhausted he was making him yawn. "Hug?" he asked tiredly. Camille couldn't help but smile at how young he sounded. She gently wrapped her arms around his slim waist and pulled him into a hug, and Kendall pretty much melted into the embrace. After a few minutes went by, Camille was afraid that he would fall asleep like that, so she pulled away from him carefully. "You worked hard today, go get some sleep." she said, kissing him softly and Kendall nodded. Camille walked over to the door and slipped on her shoes. "Woah! Where are you going?" Kendall exclaimed as he watched her put on her sweater. "I've got to go home tonight. I can't stay here every night and my dad wants me home for a little while." she said. Obviously, Kendall had not been aware of these plans, because he looked completely heartbroken. "I'm sorry, I thought you knew that already." Camille apologized. Oh, the look on Kendall's face sometimes could just shatter your heart. She didn't know how he did it or what exactly it was about that certain look, but it was like your heart was a glass figurine succumbing to a linoleum floor. Kendall walked over and slipped on his vans, "At least let me make sure you get home safely." he said. Camille shook her head and put a hand on his arm, "No, that's okay. You need your sleep, Kendall. I'll be fine." she said softly. Logan, who didn't look as exhausted as Kendall, came walking over, "I can take her, Kendall. If you want me to." Logan said. Kendall nodded, "Yeah, sure. Thanks, Logan." he said. Camille smiled as Kendall hugged her one last time. "You'll be back in the morning, right?" he asked sadly, the look on his face continuing to let her know that he was devastated. "Definitely. I'll be back as early as I can." she said. Kendall nodded. "Okay, goodnight." he said. "Goodnight." she replied cheerily. She and Logan stepped out into the hallway, and Logan gave her the "well, he didn't look too happy" look. Camille nodded and they walked back to her room silently. "Thanks again, Logan." Camille said once they had reached her door. "No problem. Anytime." he replied with a smile. "'Night." she said, stepping into her apartment. "Tell James and Carlos that I said "goodnight", as well. I didn't see them before I left." she said. "Will do. Goodnight, Camille." Logan said. Camille smiled and watched him walk back down the hallway towards the elevators. She sighed as she began getting ready for bed. She would definitely miss sleeping cuddled up against Kendall tonight. Little did she know, she'd be seeing them all earlier than she thought.
