RandomWriter23: HELL YEAH AND KENDALL GOT A (SORTA-ISH) LAP DANCE XD You enjoy your cold shower ;) I'll be writing some interesting things like that more often. Hehe.

Kaleigh: Lucy definitely is! She's got some uh, pretty special comments ;) Thank you for reviewing!

Guest: Haha well, I'm going to assume that means you like the story, so thank you! :)

thesandbar: Lucy is SO fucking awesome. Like...MEGA awesome. Whoa. Lol that mini lap dance was quite enjoyable for a...certain someone. If ya know what I mean ;) Kendall and James are just adorable all day every day (is a holiday and...yeah, you know where I'm going with this). I agree totally. "Well shit" is right. Just thinking about that...NEVERMIND ON TO THE CHAPTER BEFORE I NEED TO WRITE A SEXUAL ONE SHOT XD

A/N: So this chapter gets a bit...intense, let's say, at one point. I'm not sure if I really like it or not... Meh. Let me know!

"No, that's not right," I muttered as I turned in a circle again.

I forgot the number one rule of running...

KNOW WHERE THE FUCK YOU ARE.

Yep. So I'm lost somewhere near UCLA. Yay for me. Where are people with directions when you need them?

It's like, 7 at night, but it's so dark outside. God damn sun. Couldn't stay up longer. Like, what a bitch.

I checked the time on my iPod again. 7:37. Shit. It's almost 8 now. Ugh, I'm so fucked. Why didn't I bring my phone? Oh that's right. Cause my running shorts are stupid and don't have pockets.

Well fuck you, too.

"What's a pretty lady like yourself doing out here all alone at night?"

My heart started hammering in my chest and I struggled to breathe as I turned around. "W-waiting for my boyfriend," I lied, hoping that this creep would magically vanish.

"I can take care of you tonight," he responded with a smirk.

"T-that's ok," I squeaked out. STOP STUTTERING. YOU CAN'T ACT SCARED, YOU STUPID GIRL.

"C'mon, sweetheart, it's ok. I'll take you home." He started walking towards me and suddenly my brain started working again. Basically, it yelled: RUN, YOU STUPID BITCH.

I sprinted down the path and when I looked behind me, the man was following. I had enough distance but I felt like I couldn't get away. He was coming closer and closer...

"Kara?" No, that can't be him. "Kara, where are you?"

BLESS YOU KENDALL.

"Kendall!" I yelled. "Kenda- ow." Like a jackass, I ran right into him. He held me in his arms and squeezed my waist.

"You scared me. It's been hours and I couldn't find you and- ok, who the fuck is that?"

"I have no idea," I panted, "but he approached me in the park and then followed when I ran and-"

"Hey, it's ok," Kendall smiled at me. "I'm here now. Let's go."

We started walking in the direction of the university when a large hand grabbed my shoulder. I whirled around and was met with a slap in the face. "God dammit!" I yelled, putting a hand up to my cheek.

"You little bitch!" the man spat.

"Back the fuck off!" Kendall shouted, shielding me with his body.

"Is this your boyfriend?" he sneered. "Have fun with him because no one wants to fuck a-"

I put my hands on Kendall's shoulders and stood on my tip toes to see why he had stopped talking. Well, insulting me. Why is he on the ground and...OH MY FUCK.

"KENDALL!" I screamed, staring at the ground. "You knocked him out!"

"And I don't give a fuck," Kendall growled. "Let's go home, Kara."

"But- but- he's unconscious, Kendall. We have to do something."

"No, he's not. Look, he's getting up. Now let's GO." Kendall grabbed my hand and the two of us ran all the way back to the dorms, finally reaching our room. He unlocked the door and pulled me inside, slamming it shut behind us. "Oh Kara," he whispered and held me to him.

"I was so scared," I whimpered. "I'm never going out alone again."

"I should've looked for you earlier. I just thought you needed time to cool off. I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault," I whispered.

"Kara, look at me." Kendall tilted my chin up and stroked my cheek, wiping the tears away. Only then did I realize that I was crying.

"I feel so stupid," I muttered. "I had no idea where I was and I should've come back earlier and- god, how stupid can I be?" I lowered myself down until I was sitting on the couch while Kendall walked into the kitchen. "Kendall?" I called.

"I'm here. Just grabbing some ice." He sat down next to me and pressed the ice pack to my face.

"Jesus," I hissed. "That shit burns."

"Well yeah, honey. The guy was like six foot something. It's gonna hurt."

I turned to him, a confused look on my face. "Why aren't you mad at me?"

"Why would I be mad at you?" he asked softly.

"I was kinda bitchy at the restaurant about all that. I realize now that you both are too nice to take advantage of me. I just overreacted because um...someonehastriedthatbefore," I rushed out.

"What?"

I sighed and gave him a sad smile. "At junior prom...my date tried that. I mean, I'm pretty sure he was drunk, but it's no excuse. I never forgot that."

"Oh sweetheart," he sighed.

I giggled and Kendall gave me a funny look. "You keep calling me pet names and I find it kinda cute," I admitted with a blush.

"You find it cute, huh? Maybe I should do it more often, baby girl." He winked at me and I smiled, finally letting my body relax.

"Thanks for um, helping me out back there. Kicking his ass and all. It was really sweet."

Kendall chuckled and shook his head. "Anything for my Kara-bear."

"Ok that one's going a bit overboard," I laughed.

"Aw, c'mon, I like that one! Ooh or maybe I should get one that's Wiggles related," he snickered.

"Oh that is so not cool!"

"All's fair in love and war," he smirked.

"Then I'm gonna call you uh...Kenny...boo? Sure, let's go with that."

"That's so weird!" he laughed.

"Yeah well Kara-bear sounds like Care Bear," I whined.

"YES THAT'S PERFECT!" he shouted triumphantly.

"Nonononono you can't use that!" I laughed.

"Too bad. I'm using it." He stuck his tongue out at me and I snapped.

Like actually.

I grabbed his face and kissed him so hard we fell off the couch and onto the floor. "Um...well that was...unexpected," Kendall smiled.

"Sorry," I blushed.

"I never said I didn't enjoy it. Because I did." My blush deepened and Kendall laughed and poked my nose. "You're too cute."

"Kendall, I- ugh, I can't do this." I stood up and ran to my room, my head swimming.

He's not Colin.

He's not Colin.

It's ok.

He's not Colin.

But as hard as I tried, I couldn't stop reliving the memories of that horrible night.
