"So you and Kendall are officially back together?" Jessica asked. She was practically bouncing out of her seat.

"Yes," I said smiling, "we are. He came over about an hour after you left. He told me he needed to talk to me. He said he was miserable all tour and that he missed me. Then he told me he loved me and then he just kissed me!"

"Awe," Jessica said, "that's so cute!"

"But I told him no," I said. "I told him I wasn't ready to be back with him."

"But you're-"

"Then I realized that I loved him and got him to come back over. And then we fell asleep and you know the rest."

"I'm so glad you two are happy together. I didn't want to watch you suffer anymore."

"Was I really that bad?" I asked.

"Yeah," Jessica said, "you were so depressed. I was scared for you."

"I couldn't have been that bad."

"LeeAnn, you ended up in the hospital." I was quiet. "Did you tell Kendall about that?"

"No," I answered quickly. "No, no, no. I can't tell him about that. He already feels bad enough."

*Kendall's P.O.V*

"I'm on my way," I said to LeeAnn as I got in my car. "I'll be there in about 5 minutes."

"OK," she said. "I love you, Kendall."

I smiled. "I love you, too."

On the drive to LeeAnn's house, I tried to think of ways to tell LeeAnn I was leaving tomorrow. I was only going to be gone for 4 days, but I didn't want to leave her at all. It would kill her.

As soon as I walked up to LeeAnn's door, she threw the door open and jumped into my arms.

"It's a good thing I have fast reflexes," I laughed.

"I was hoping that hadn't changed about you," she said laughing with me, "or else I'd be on the concrete!"

I carried her to the couch and sat down.

"LeeAnn, there's something I need to tell you," I said.

Her face fell. "That doesn't sound good."

"It's really not. I have to go to New York. Tomorrow." She was shocked. "I'll only be gone for 4 days, though."

"I guess four days isn't so bad," she said sadly. "If this is what it takes to have you back, I'll deal with it." She was glancing at her wrists. There were red marks.

"What's that?" I asked reaching for her wrist.

She pulled away. "Nothing," she said. I grabbed her arm and looked.

"LeeAnn," I said softly." Why?"

"I told you. This past year was hard for me."

"But this hard?"

"Kendall, I ended up in the hospital. Twice."

My jaw dropped. I was at a loss for words. "Why?"

She looked down, tears in her eyes. "Attempted suicides," she whispered. "Once was cutting and the other was trying to starve myself."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked while pulling her close.

"I didn't want you to know," she sobbed. "You already felt bad. I didn't want you to feel worse."

"I can't believe you almost died because of me."

She leaned back and wiped her face. "But I didn't," she said with a weak smile. "I'm still here. And we're together. Nothing else even matters, remember?"

"Nothing even matters," I said weakly.

*LeeAnn's P.O.V*

"I'll miss you," I said to Kendall outside of the airport, "so so much."

"I'll miss you, too," he said hugging me. "I'll call you every day. I promise."

"You better, or else," I said jokingly.

"I can't believe I just got you back and I have to leave already," he said sadly.

"It's OK, Kendall," I said. "You're not losing me. I'll still be right here waiting for you when you get back."

"Kendall, we gotta go," Logan called from the door. Kendall sighed.

"I guess I'll see you in four days," he said with tears in his eyes.

"Four days," I repeated. "I love you, Kendall."

"I love you, too, LeeAnn," he said. He pulled me in for a kiss.

I walked back to my car where my mom was waiting.

"LeeAnn," my mom said, "it's only four days. Not four years."

"But I just got him back," I said wiping tears from my eyes. "Can you drop me off at Jessica's house?"

"Sure."

When Jessica opened the door, she dragged me upstairs.

"You're on the front page of OceanUp!" she yelled.

"What are you talking about?" I asked. She pointed at the computer screen. "Wha… That just happened! I just left the airport!"

On the screen, there were pictures of me and Kendall outside the airport. The biggest picture, at the top of the page, was me and Kendall kissing. Below was the caption "Kendall's new GF?"

"This is insane!" Jessica. "You're dating someone famous. You're going to become famous!"

"Why do I have a feeling this is just going to get worse over time?" I said. Then something clicked. "That's why Kendall left me."

"What are you talking about?"

I looked at her. "Kendall told me the night we got back together. He left me because he didn't want me to deal with stuff like this."

"So he left you because he thought it would be better for you?"

I smiled. "He never stopped caring about me."

*Kendall's P.O.V.*

"Hey, Kendall," Carlos said walking up to me, "have you checked OceanUp today?"

"No," I said, "why?"

"You're on the front page with LeeAnn," he said walking away.

"What? No way." I ran to my laptop and looked. "Awe, crap."

My phone rang. It was LeeAnn.

"Hello, darling," I said.

"Hello," LeeAnn said. "So. Have you been online lately?"

"I have, actually," I said.

"So you've seen the OceanUp home page?"

"Yeah. I'm so sorry about that, LeeAnn."

She laughed. "It's fine, Kendall. I'm glad the world knows I love you. It's a good thing."

"So you're not mad?" I asked with relief.

"Not at all."

There was an awkward silence. She sighed.

"I wish I could hug you right now," she said sadly. "I miss you so much."

"I miss you, too," I said. "But only three more days and I'll be home. And we'll spend all day, every day, together."

"That sounds amazing," she sighed. I could tell she was smiling. I smiled, too.

"Kendall, we have to leave!" I heard James yell.

"I have to go, LeeAnn," I said frowning.

"Awe. Bye, Kendall. I love you."

I smiled. "I love you, too, LeeAnn. I'll call you tomorrow. And are you sure you're not mad?"

She laughed again. "I'm positive, Kendall."

"I'm just warning you that this will happen a lot."

"I'm prepared."

I sighed. "Welcome to the life of dating a pop star."

**Author's note:

So. This chapter is a little shorter than the others. But oh well.

I'd rather have a good, short chapter than a long, stupid one.

I don't really have much to say. So I'm gonna go now.

Reviews? :]
