Kendall was stunned; she froze. After a while, covered her mouth with her free hand. "Say something" Kick pleaded. She pulled her hand out of his. Kick was horrified. "Kendall" he called out softly. She turned around and looked him with hurt. "I'm sorry Kick, I can't so this right now. I need to clear my head." She said as she walked past him and made her way to the exit. He called out to her but she ignored him. Kick, now defeated made his way out the restaurant. He got onto his bike not believing his luck rode off to widow makers' peak. He stepped off and looked down at the black abbess. He couldn't lose Kendall not like this. "If she needs time I'll give her as much as she wants." He whispered. As he sat there looking at the stars he came up with an awesome idea for a stunt. He'll attempt riding down WM's peak with his modified dirt bike. "Hmm it would test the limits of TRI-X9", which he named it. HE pulled out of phone and made a few calls arranging for the big stunt. It was set, this Friday he would make the jump. He left WM peak and made his way home to prepare. Even though It was an awesome stunt, he's heart was still with Kendall. He made his way home but decided to take a detour, passing by the Perkins residence. He noticed there was someone seated on the swing set in the playground near by. It was Kendall. He couldn't resist the urge to stay away. He got of the bike and walked over to her standing near the pole opposite her. "Hey" he said. She sniffled and wiped away the tears that were rolling down her cheek, "hey." "Are you OK" he asked genuinely concerned. She sighed, "Kick, I love you but it's just that Scarlet is still a raw wound to me. Do you know how difficult it was for me to get over your betrayal? And now you tell me that she's still apart of your life just opens up old wounds." "Kendall I love you not her, I'm committed to you whether you believe me or not." He said. She could hear the honesty in his voice. He reached for her hand and placed the ring in the palm of her hand. "Whenever you're ready Kendall, I'll be waiting, no matter how long it takes." He said as he kissed her gently on the lips and walked away leaving Kendall to herself. She looked down at the ring in her hand and tried it on. It was simple yet elegant and she loved it. She knew that she wanted this so badly but she needs time to get over Scarlet and find a way to move forward with Kick.
Alexis was walking home from school Wednesday and noticed a bunch of kids looking at a poster. She walked over to see what the commotion was about. "KICK BUTTOWSKI, Defies all laws of gravity with a death-defying stunt that has him plummeting down Widow Makers Peak with a modified Dirt bike. This Friday! Be there. Not for the faint hearted." "OMG this is crazy and why didn't Aunt K tell me about this" she asked herself. As she made her way home she heard everyone talking about how dangerous it was for anyone to go down there. He was risking his life for a lost cause. She began to run home. When she got there she called out for Kendall. "Aunt K" she called. "In the study" she replied. "Hey Lex what's up" she said as she continued to type on her laptop. "Aunt K, did Kick ever mention having any daredevil activity in Mellowbrook?" she asked quizzically. "Nope, he's here on vacation" she replied not looking at the girl. "I see" she said. "And exactly when last have you spoken to Kick?" she asked as she reached into her bag. "Hmm, you're birthday I guess, why and what's with the third degree?" Kendall asked turning her attention to Alexis. She walked over to Kendall and placed the flyer on her laptop. "This is why!" she said. I heard they people saying that this really dangerous and he could die if he goes through with it" she said filled with concern. Kendall couldn't believe her eyes. She pulled out her phone and tried calling him. "Dammit Kick, voice mail!" she moaned. She tried several times to no avail. She called Gunther: Hey Kendall.
Kendall: Hey Gunther, when did he decide this?
Gunther: I have no idea. I'm just as surprised as you are.
Kendall: Have you seen him or heard from him?
Gunther: I've tried calling him but I heard that he's meditating and doesn't want to be disturbed.
Kendall: Where?
Gunther: They didn't say. I'm sorry Kendall, I know this is dangerous but this is Kick were talking about, he won't back down.
Kendall: Gunther something has happened, I need to talk to him.
Gunther: He's returning on Friday just before the jump.
Kendall: Thanks Gunther.
Gunther: Anytime.
She cut the call and broke down, "this is all my fault". She reached down to her drawer and pulled out the ring and showed it to Alexis. Just then her sister walked in. "Kendall what's going on?" she asked. Kendall had no choice but to tell them the whole story.
"Kendall sweetheart, he loves you he would have not asked to be his wife. Whatever happened it's all in the past. He's in love with you, he wouldn't cheat on you. Go to him Kendall and tell him that you're ready. If you don't, you may never get the chance to." She said sincerely. "Yeah aunt K, mum's right and I've seen the two of you together, there's no doubt that this is meant to be." She said. "Thanks guys, but he's nowhere to be found and he will only return on Friday" she said. "Well then you better start preparing yourself" they said and left her with her thoughts. She placed the ring on her finger and made her choice. Now she needs to tell Kick.
AN: I'll be ending this pretty soon.. Thanks. Please review.
