A/N: Hiya! Sorry I didn't have time to past the last chapter. I'm not sure if I had interest in this anymore. :l And with me college going on, juggling time is sometimes really hard. I'm glad I did have the time (and the internet) to post this. Yes this is the last chapter. I can't stand this not being posted anymore.

Disclaimer: I don't own BTR. But if I do, they'd probably be living with me in Bali or Johannesburg. :]


Chapter 5:

Dinner was silent. None of them in the room have got anything to say, but instead munching away on the fine dishes both Evangeline and Elizabeth has made.

As a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner, it's normal for a Turkey to be in the middle of the table (well, it was the smallest turkey Evangeline could find in the supermarket within their neighborhood, considering Elizabeth didn't really like eating meat). There were also salads, some fishes and pasta to go along. Logan's homemade Apple Pie was resting in the kitchen, while Kendall's ice lolly surprise was sitting in the refrigerator.

Carlos, not liking the silence one bit, decided to use this opportunity to start a conversation, "These spaghetti's are so delicious! I wonder what would happen if corndogs would go with it."

He could feel the awkwardness cringing into him as the others stared in his direction, especially Elizabeth. He had completely forgotten that she is helping out the animals made into his favorite food, "Whoops. No offence, Lizzie."

Letting out a small sigh, Elizabeth pierced a lettuce and cherry tomato with her fork, before putting it inside her mouth, "That's all right. I know you love them from a long, long time ago. I can't blame you."

Carlos nodded in quick movements. He almost made a girl unhappy, and that's another cause for his unhappiness. James placed his spoon and fork on the plate silently, letting out a big grin, "Well, the appetizers and main course are really good, but let's go on to the desserts," turning towards Kendall and Elizabeth who were sitting side by side, he let out a little whine, just like a kid, "oh, please."

Elizabeth took her napkin to dab her mouth, before placing it on the table with a small sigh, "All right. I'll go get the apple pie." As she stood, Kendall thought that this was a good moment to accompany her and spent some time alone, even if it were to be for a few minutes, "I'll go with her."

Footsteps radiated off the distances as the two figures left the dinning room and into the kitchen. Elizabeth blushed, thinking for a moment that everything is actually changing for the better. Behind her, she felt a hot air breathing down her neck and a few words coming out from the man's mouth, "Well, dinner was great. Thank you for that. Didn't know a scientist would be a natural when it comes to cooking."

"Oh, please," Elizabeth turned around and pouted at the singer, "Oh please, like Logan and you yourself aren't."

Both of them giggled at the thought, as Kendall helped Elizabeth place the dishes in the sink, "Shall I go get the desserts?"

"Yeah, sure, go ahead," Elizabeth smiled, before washing her hands.

"You're awesome, you know that?" The sound of the refrigerator doors being opened ringed against her ears as Kendall went to get his lollies, "I'd kill just to be your boyfriend."

"You will?" the scientist replied him with a menacing tone, clearly, she doesn't like abuse and violence, certainly after what she had gone through, "You'll even kill those girls who will, and can, try to kill me again like they did before?"

"That as well. I couldn't afford for you to get hurt any longer. You don't deserve any of this, remember?" Elizabeth giggled at his eyebrows waving back and forth.

"Fine. Whatever the case is, now I have bodyguards hovering around me in case some people just decided to ruin my life. And I also happen to have you guys for support so," Elizabeth quieted down at the end of the sentence, hoping that Kendall would pick up the idea.

"So it's decided then?"

"Could be."

Unknowingly, Kendall let out his hand, palm facing upwards, "Ms. Elizabeth Alaughy, may you go out for a date with me, just the two of us? You'd have no idea how much it means to me."

Smiling, she took it without any hesitation, " I may, Mr. Kendall Schmidt. Everyone deserves a second chance after all."

And from there, a new and closer friendship blossomed. Five years later, both of them earned their blessings from their parents and got married.

Elizabeth glanced at her father as they walked down the aisle, approaching the altar. He seemed to be brimming with tears for his daughter, but he would want to embarrass her in front of the whole congregation. Before leaving Elizabeth with Kendall, her father edged in one last time, gently pressing her lips against her forehead.

"This will be the last time I officially take care of you, sweetheart. From now on, you'll have to start a new life with Kendall. I'm going to miss you."

"Dad, its not really good bye, isn't it? I mean; we could always come visit you," Elizabeth let out a little girly smile, but abruptly stopped when her father looked away. She knew he had a lot of things on his mind, things he wanted to go, see or do something with his little girl, but he also knew that one day his little girl might have to spread her wings and fly.

"I'll promise to take care of her for the rest of my life, Mr. Alaughy," Kendall grinned, all suited up for this special occasion. To Elizabeth, he looked like an angel that had simply fallen out of the sky and was made to be with her. The choir was singing, the crowd was watching, but in her world, it was just the two of them.

"You better hope so," Mr. Alaughy grumbled, but handed his daughter over to his son-in-law, "I'll see you soon, sweetheart."

"I'll see you soon, daddy," Elizabeth looked back, before beaming back with pride over her new life with the man she thought she wouldn't be with.
