Chapter Seven – First Fight

One month later…

Cali's POV

I was sitting in my room, bored out of my mind, so I decided to look up Kendall on the Internet to see what he has been up to. I typed his name in the search engine and looked up images.

When the page was done loading, I immediately regretted it. I saw a picture of him on the red carpet of some premiere. He was with Katelyn Tarver and his arm was around her. In another picture, he was kissing her cheek.

I started to cry. I couldn't believe he would do this to me. I heard my phone ringing and without looking at the caller ID, I answered it.

"Hello?" I sniffed out, while trying not to seem like I've been crying.

"Cali, what's wrong?" Kendall asked me. He actually sounded like he cared.

I scoffed under my tears. "Don't act like you actually care."

Kendall's POV

I was completely confused. "What are you talking about? Of course I care. You're my girlfriend."

"Well you sure don't act like it." She sounded so upset and I needed to fix it.

"What did I do?" I questioned her.

"Oh, like you don't know. You cheated on me."

"I WHAT?"

"I saw those pictures of you and Katelyn at some premiere."

I thought about it for a bit. "Oh! That was just a publicity thing, Cali. I didn't cheat on you."

"THAT IS SUCH A LIE!" She screamed at me.

"Cali! I'm not lying! Our publicist said it would be good for us."

"Either way, you shouldn't have done it! Why would you even agree to this?"

"Believe me I didn't want to do it, but I had no choice. Please don't do this. I never meant to hurt you. You mean way too much to me." I was begging at this point.

I heard her sigh on the other side of the phone. "I need to take some time to think about everything."

I knew I needed to give her some time. "Okay…I'll talk to you later then?"

"Sure." I heard her whisper just before she hung up the phone.

One week later…

It had been a week since our fight and Cali still won't answer my calls. I wasn't about to give up on us. I had booked a flight to Michigan and I was going to surprise her.

When I walked up the steps of her front door, I was so nervous. I rang the doorbell and waited patiently for someone to answer. Cali's mom answered the door and she was definitely surprised to see me.

"Kendall? What are you doing here?" She asked with a sort of look of amazement on her face.

"I came to see Cali. We had a fight last week and she won't answer my calls." I explained to my girlfriend's mother.

"So you came all the way up here to talk to her?" She asked me, stunned.

I sighed. "I can't stand her being mad at me."

She nodded and opened the door wider. "Come in, she should be home in a few minutes from school." I stepped in and she shut the door behind me.

About two minutes later, I heard the front door open, so I stood up from the couch and walked over to it. Cali stepped inside and looked up to see me standing there.

"Kendall?!" She questioned, completely stunned.
