I woke up the next morning when I felt my bed shift. I blinked slightly and rolled over on my back to face whoever it was. I wasn't surprised to see Hannah sitting with a worried look on her face.

"Lacy, what the hell happened last night? We couldn't really hear anything that was being said then you just walked out leaving all of us completely in the dark." I closed my eyes and shook my head really not wanted to talk about it. I pulled the cover over my face hoping she would get the hint. However Hannah is a crazy bitch, and ripped the covers away from me. "You know I am not leaving until you explain." I sighed and told her everything that was said and she agreed that he was out of line but so was I. Now I remember why I don't drink very often. I get a little over sensitive but Morgan just rubs me the wrong way, which Hannah did make me realize that Kendall doesn't know how complex my history with the slut is. He deserves to know why I was acting like a jealous hooker.

"Where is he? Do you know?" I asked her, I was now sitting against my head board,

She nodded, "He slept on our couch. He's down stairs with your parents. Do you want me to send him up?" I nodded sadly not really wanted to face Kendall. Yes I know I acted like a crazy bitch and I also know that he has no idea why but he still had no right to talk to me like he did. Hannah gave me a small smile before disappearing out of my door. I started playing with my fingers and just staring at the door. A few minutes later there was a soft knock. "Come in." My voice was weak.

The door opened revealing Kendall. I looked him over and to be honest he looked like hell. However, I probably did too. I could feel how puffy my eyes were from crying the whole night. He had circles under his eyes and they were not the bright orbs that I was used to. He looked at me, I could see the sadness in his face. "Can we talk?" He asked from the doorway. I only nodded and he came fully into the room and closed the door behind him. He stood awkwardly infront of my bed. We just stared at each other for a couple of minutes.

"You can sit down." I whispered but I knew he heard me when he sat at the very edge of my bed but was sitting directly infront of me.

"Lacy, the things I said last night I never"

I cut him off, "We'll talk about that later. I need to explain my actions first." I said firmly, knowing that if I didn't do it now I would chicken out. "Kendall there are a few things about my past that I didn't tell you. Hell, I didn't think I would have to worry about telling you."

"Why? Why didn't you want to tell me?" He seems hurt.

"It was things I went through that I thought at the time were the worst things that would ever happen to me but after Will died they seemed so trivial and so petty that I kind of forgot about them but seeing her last night with you just brought all those feelings back. Morgan and I went to school together all our lives. She was always the popular one and I was the tomboy that all the guys talked to about the Braves game the night before. Which I loved so I never cared to be popular. I never got along well with girls that much anyway. Well in high school I started dating this guy, Shawn. We were really good friends and we only dated for about a month before I caught him cheating on me." I paused.

"with Morgan." He finished for me. I looked up at him and nodded.

"It pissed me off. I mean it wasn't like we were soul mates or anything but after that any guy that so much as showed interest in me, Morgan would catch his attention with her flirty, slut ways and I was left alone. When we graduated she left town and I couldn't have been happier. I know that is rude to say but she made most of my teenage years hell."

Kendall moved closer to me on the bed, "Lacy, I know that was rough but there has got to be more to it for you to act like that towards her. I have never seen you act like that towards someone." Damn him and his sweet side

Tears started sliding down my face. "There is more. Well two years after we graduated she came back for some reason I can't even remember why but anyway Will and I were going pretty strong. One night we all decided to go out to Deer Bluff. Hannah and I were the only ones not twenty one yet so we were the designated drivers. Anyway we were all having fun, dancing and the guys were all pretty gone. Well I had been on the dance floor with the girls and when we went back to the table where the guys were Will was gone. I asked the guys where he was and none of them knew so I decided to go make sure he wasn't passed out somewhere. I went to go towards the bathrooms when in the hallway I saw a couple practically eating each other. I was about to walk past them when I looked over and instantly recognized the guy. It was Will, when I finally got their attention guess who the girl was."

Kendall's eyes were slightly wider than before, "Morgan." He answered me and I nodded my head, letting the tears flow down my cheeks.

"She had an evil grin on her face when she looked at me. She smirked and walked away leaving Will and I in that hall way. I could tell just by his eyes that he was completely hammered and would never remember what the hell had happened. I managed to get him into the car and home to his bed. He never apologized that night because I am pretty sure he had already blacked out. Anyways the next day we got into a huge fight and that was almost the end of our relationship but we managed to work it out and I knew it wasn't completely his fault, she was as sober as I was that night and knew that he was my boyfriend. Apparently she is the same sneaky, slutty bitch she was in high school. So last night, when the two of you were talking all I could picture was the two of you down that same hallway making out and I really didn't want that to happen again. So, I guess I do owe you an apology for acting like a jealous bitch." I paused and gave a small chuckle at the flinch he did when I said those words back to him. "However, now that I have kind of explained, can you really blame me?"

He moved even closer to me and wrapped me in his arms. "No. She does sound like a attention seeking hoe!" I giggled and he pulled and gently placed his forehead on mine, his hands coming up to cup my face so my eyes stayed locked on his, "Baby, what I said was out of line and I never should have said that you were acting like a bitch. I am so sorry that I hurt you."

"That's not what hurt me. I was acting like a bitch. I am a big enough person to admit that."

"Lacy...you know you're beautiful." I felt like those were just empty words to me now. I shook my head and moved out of his grasp and getting up off the bed.

"Don't give me that shit, Kendall. You already told me that I wasn't as pretty as she is. And you know what? I know that. I have always been the ugly duckling or the tomboy. I've always been okay with that. I know I am simple. I know that there are so many people out there more attractive than me. What hurt was I thought you didn't care so much what I looked like. I thought you could see past my outward appearance and appreciate the person I am but I guess you are just like most men out there." I know I was being harsh but that really hurt me and I sincerely thought that Kendall was gonna be the one person in this world that was different.

He started to come towards me, I backed away. "Lacy, come on. I said I was sorry."

I shook my head again, "Look, Kendall. I really don't want to talk about this anymore. Now here is what we are gonna do. We are gonna go downstairs and you are gonna use your wonderful acting abilities and we are gonna act like the happy couple we were before we got here. We are gonna do that for the rest of the time we are here. I don't want to let my parents or Hannah and Lance know what is going on. So we are gonna be cute and happy until we leave." I stated forcefully.

He only nodded, I went walk out my door to join my parents downstairs. "Lacy, what about when we get back to LA?" I turned and looked at him, there were so many emotions swarming in his soulful eyes. Confusion. Sadness. Guilt. Hope. And there was something else that I could not pin point.

I gave him a sad smile, "I don't know, Kendall." With that I turned and left him standing in my room.
