so! i had issues with this chapter, but i think it turned out kinda cute. please review! and i might try and update on a new note soon, but no promises. anywho, thanks for reading! love always! xoxo!

Kendall doesn't say anything, but keeps looking at you. Your hand is still over your mouth, and youre mentally beating yourself for saying that. Suddenly, kendall takes your hand and moves it away from your mouth and pins it to your side. He pulls you close again, and kisses you more passionately than hes ever done before. You kiss him back.

After a minute or two, he pulls away, and he has the biggest smile you've ever seen on his face. "I cant believe you said that." he whispers in your ear and kisses you again, but only a quick kiss this time.

"whats that supposed to mean?" you ask breathlessly. Your head is spinning. Does this mean he loves you? Because you've decided that you do indeed love him.

"it means, that I am one of the happiest guys ever right now." he smirks.

"so you don't think im an idiot for saying that?" you ask cautiously.

"definitely not… honestly? I was going to tell you that I loved you just before you left. Ive never felt this way about anyone…. Screw the fact that ive only been dating you for a month. I really think I love you. Ive been thinking and wondering and contemplating on how and when to tell you this for the past couple of days, and I hoped that, knowing you would get really worked up about leaving, maybe this would keep you happy. I hate seeing you sad, and I was hoping you felt the same way about me. Now, I see you do, and I cant even tell you how happy I am." he grins, hugging you really close again.

"im not going to lie… I cant believe I just said it. I never really thought about it… I mean, yeah I always said 'I love kendall Schmidt!' because he was my favorite singer in my favorite band. But I never would have imagined that id actually end up saying it for real…" you mutter.

"so wait… do you love me?" kendall asks, pulling away again, and he looks like hes about to panic if you say no.

"of course. I just said it didn't I?" you smile. "what im saying is I never really took the time to think 'oh, do I love this boy?' I just knew my feelings for you were getting stronger. And I guess I just told you how I feel…" you smile, looking down at your feet. Suddenly, Carissas voice is right next to you.

"uhm, whats happening here? Why the random make out fest?" she asks. Your head snaps up, and you can feel your cheeks go red instantly. You hear kendall chuckle. You grab carissas wrist and pull her away.

"uhm…. Well…. I just kinda told kendall… I… uhm… love him." you stutter out. She looks at you. Her eye brow shoots up.

"and do you?" she asks.

You think about it for a couple seconds. "I think I do." a smile creeps across your face as you say that.

Carissa grins. "well then good for you! Howd he react?"

"you said you saw the make out fest?" you giggle.

"well yeah." she rolls her eyes. "I mean, did he say it back?"

The smile gets bigger. "he said I made him one of the happiest guys ever, and that he didn't care if weve only been dating a month. He thinks he loves me. And can we talk about this on the plane? We only have about five more minutes until we have to be at security! I want a chance to say good bye to kendall…" you say. Carissa nods, and the two of you walk back to logan and kendall. They seem like theyre deep in conversation. You look at Carissa, and she nods. Both of you run up behind your boyfriends, and jump on their backs. Logan almost falls over, but kendall is used to you jumping on his back. Hes able to stop from tipping at all, but sees logan almost falling over, so he grabs his arm to help steady him.

"damn. Was not expecting that…." logan huffs out after he regains his balance. Carissa just giggles and kisses his cheek.

"eh. This one-" kendall says, tilting his head towards you, "always does that. You get used to it." he chuckles. "but, I'll be sad with out it for a month or two…"

Your grin disappears. "maybe you should come visit sooner then…." you suggest, jumping off his back.

"ill try my best." he says, kissing your forehead.

"good.." you smile. "so…" you say, looking at the clock on the wall. You have to check in at security in about 2 minutes. "I guess ill see you when you come to visit me?" you ask, looking down at the floor again. He puts his finger under your chin and pulls your head up so that you look at him. "cheer up, beautiful. Like last time, ill be skyping or calling you every night. But this time, I wont need to worry about shows, so ill be able to talk longer. So, it should be a little easier." he says.

"I guess…"

"like I said last time, youre my world wide girl, my cover girl, my girlfriend, my liz. don't doubt it, ever. Because no girl comes close to you. I couldn't imagine being this happy without you. And I don't want you to forget that." he says, staring into your blue grey eyes with his striking green ones.

At this point, youre getting really sad. Another month? No kendall? Why cant you just live in California by him? Ugh. The tears are starting to roll down your cheeks. Kendall looks at you and wipes the tears off your face with his thumbs.

"hey. Cheer up." he says, only half smiling. "ill see you at least one more time before school starts, so less then two months. I promise."

You lean your head against his chest and just take a deep breath. Youre going to miss this… being able to hug him any time, and having the smell of his cologne barely on your clothes. Little does he know that while he was taking a shower this morning, you snuck into his room and sprayed the stuffed animal giraffe you brought with it so that you could smell it. He doesn't need to know. Does he? Nah.

"you smell good." you mutter into his chest. You can feel him shake with laughter.

"thanks. You smell pretty too." he says. He always tells you he likes how you smell… which makes you happy because you've been spending 30 dollars on the same perfume for the past year and hes the only guy who appreciates it!

"well im glad you like it. Too bad you wont smell it for a while…" you say sadly.

"well, itll just make it that much better when I see you in Wisconsin." he says, kissing your head.

The clock says you need to go to security now. Damn…

"It looks like I need to go now…" you frown, and another tear rolls down your cheek.

"it looks like you do… but don't forget… I love you. Ill see you in about a month." he says, tilting your chin up again so he can press his lips to yours one more time.

After about half a minute of kissing, he pulls back and just hugs your for a second.

"I love you too. And ill see you tomorrow. Kinda…" you say, half smiling, before going on your tip toes, giving him a quick peck on the lips, and then turning around and walking to the security check in area place.

You look back just before you walk through the door, and kendall is just staring at you sadly, and his eyes look red and puffy, like hes about to start crying. To tell the truth, youre damn close to doing the same.

As you take your seat on the plane, you look out the window at the huge glass window in the airport. You wonder if kendall is looking at the plane.

"so. You LOVE him?" Carissa jokes, sitting next to you.

"I do love him." you smile back. "ive never felt this strongly about anyone… and he said he loved me back." you say, blushing and looking down.

"HE SAID IT BACK?" Carissa says, staring at you.

"yes. Yes he did."

"liz, that's awesome! Im so happy for you! I knew you two had something special! And youre perfect for each other! Hes just the bit of crazy you need! And you have that sweet edge to you, and I think its nice for him to have that. Logan was actually talking about how happy kendall seems when ever he talks about you." Carissa says matter of factly.

"he seems happier?" you ask, smiling a bit.

"logan says he does. He said that when ever kendall says anything about you, his eyes light up and he gets a huge smile. Plus, he said he just seems happier in general. I told you some guy would be worth your time… didn't I?" she smiles triumphantly.

"this is the one time im glad to say you told me so." you grin at her.

"im so happy for you… liz, you so deserve to be happy." she says hugging you.

You hug her back. Having a friend like Carissa is honestly the best. "and im pretty happy you have logan. You deserve a great guy like him."

"thanks love. And you know what I think this plane ride needs to be spent doing?" she asks.

"lemme guess… life chat?" you ask, guessing from the fact that you and her hadn't had one for a while.

"exactly! So… How was your two weeks in California?" she asks.

For the rest of the plane ride, you and Carissa talk about your time in California, how you felt about the guys, how you thought the guys felt about you, how excited you were for senior year, and quite a few other things.

When you get back to Wisconsin, your mom is waiting for you, and its about 1 am. You get off the plane, and went straight to your mom to give her a hug.

"how was it, baby?" she asks, giving you a huge hug.

"it was the most incredible time ever! I had so much fun! I might need to bring you out there some time… I think youd love it!" you smile. "and I know I just got home, and you probably want to hear about it, but can we please just go home? Im so tired!" you say, and as if to add effect, your mouth stretches into a huge yawn.

Your mom just laughs. "of course. Your stories can wait till tomorrow. You staying over rissa?" she asks, turning to look at your friend. She give her a hug too.

"if you don't mind, Mrs. Cardin."

"oh, its no problem. Lets go! You two look like you could fall asleep standing right here!" she says, looking the two of you over.

Your mom drives you and Carissa back to your house. When you get there, you barely take time to change before you just go to your bed and fall asleep.

It seems like you just fell asleep, and suddenly, your phone starts ringing. You groan, and look at the clock. Its only 9 in the morning! Ugh. Who calls at 9 in the morning? You don't even bother to look at the caller id.

"hello?" you say into the phone.

"why do you sound so tired? It should be what… 10 there? You usually sleep till like, 8 here, so isn't ten there?" you hear kendalls voice on the other line.

"hun, its only nine here. And I got home at like, 1:30 last night, so im pretty tired." you groan into the phone.

"oh shit…. Did I wake you up?" he says, and you can hear in his voice he feels bad.

"haha, its okay. Just remember we have 2 hours difference, not three." you giggle.

"well I just wanted to let you know that when I woke up this morning and I wasn't hugging you, I panicked. Its weird not to have you here." he whines.

"well, I just woke up, so I didn't have time to think…. And if you don't mind, can I please go back to sleep?" you ask.

"yeah… sorry! I really didn't mean to wake you up!" he apologizes.

"like I said, its fine. But I just need to get some sleep! I love you! Talk to you later today!" you say into the speaker.

"okay. Love you too… good night, beautiful." he says. You hang up, and then drift back to sleep with a smile on your face.
