"K-Kara?"
"You can come in," I whispered.
Kendall stepped into my room and closed the door behind him. "What happened out there? Was it something I said?"
I shook my head. "No, not at all. I'm just...not good with feelings, I guess."
Wow that sounded better in my head.
"Meaning?" Kendall sat next to me on my bed and I rested my head on his shoulder.
"I get scared when I feel something for a guy. That's why I instantly made a joke of everything James said when I first met him. I'm not good with trust."
"Because of Colin," he sighed, taking my hand in his.
"Yeah. Plus, you know, my dad left when I was born because he didn't want a kid. So...I'm just not meant to be around men," I laughed.
"But what if I like being around you?" Kendall whispered.
I giggled a bit and squeezed his hand. "Thanks for being there for me tonight. You're a really amazing guy, Kendall." I smiled up at him and he kissed my forehead.
"No problem. Get some sleep." He stood up from my bed and walked to my door. "Oh and Kara? If you get cold, just shout. Remember, I'm right across the hall." He winked and closed the door.
I changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt and turned off the light before snuggling into bed. It wasn't long before I drifted off to sleep, the memory of junior prom haunting my dreams.
"Come on, baby, it'll be fun, I promise. Just you and me."
"Well...ok." I smiled at my boyfriend of three years, too naïve at the time to question his true intentions. The two of us slipped out of the large school gym and drove back to his house. The lights were on in his room and a warning signal went off. "Colin? Didn't you say no one was home?"
"Might be some of the guys." The guys. His dumbass football friends.
"But won't they-"
"Relax, babe," he cut me off. "Just trust me."
He smiled at me and held his hand out. I reached out and took it, letting him lead us through his house and up to his room.
First mistake.
We got upstairs and he shut the door behind us, instantly bringing his lips down on mine. "Wait. Colin, where did they go?" I pushed him away slightly.
"It doesn't matter," he murmured, and pulled me back to him until I was pressed up against his body.
"But Col, the lights," I reminded him. "Shouldn't we turn them on?" And weren't they just on a minute ago?
"No need," he whispered.
Mistake number two.
"This is getting in the way, baby." Colin tugged the zipper of my dress down and let it fall to the floor. I stood shivering in just my bra and underwear.
"Colin," I started wearily. "I'm not too sure about this anymore."
"Don't you trust me?"
"I do, but-"
"Then don't worry about anything. I'll be back in a minute."
I sat down on his bed and tried to shake away the nervousness in the pit of my stomach. Everyone must get like this before their first time, right? But I trust him.
The lights flicked on and I jumped. "Well lookie here," one of the jocks whistled. "What a pretty girl. Colin, am I first tonight?"
"W-what are you talking about?" I stammered.
"Colin didn't tell you about our deal?"
"Colin?" I called him, my voice going up a pitch in fear.
"You really are beautiful," he murmured, striding over to where I was cowering on the bed. "Don't be scared, honey."
"Colin!" I shrieked.
A second boy appeared in the doorway. Then a third. Then a fourth. Then Colin.
"What's going on?" I demanded him.
"I told you, it'll be fun."
"No!" I shouted.
One of Colin's friends pushed me backwards onto the bed. "A good fight makes it more fun," he smirked.
"I'm not doing this!" I yelled.
A firm hand came down on my stomach. "Yes, you are."
Three strikes. You're out.
I squirmed, trying to get out from under his strong grip when a glint of silver caught my eye. My shoes.
Thank you Lord, for making me short enough to wear heels.
I pulled my leg close to my body before kicking the boy who was holding me down in the face. He recoiled, clutching his jaw. "The little bitch kicked me!" he spat.
I saw my opening and jumped off the bed, snatching up my dress and running out of Colin's house. I hid in the backyard, away from the light while I pulled my dress back up before slipping my shoes off and running in the direction of my house.
I could feel the cold wind whipping through my hair as I ran home, betrayal in the pit of my stomach, salty tears streaking down my cheeks...
I shot up in bed and shivered. "Fucking window," I muttered as I walked over to the window and slammed it down. I wiped my face with my hands and realized that I had been crying again. I shuffled down the hallway to the bathroom and washed my face, then poked my head into Kendall's room.
He was lying on his stomach with the pillow over his head, and I assumed he was fast asleep. I was closing the door, ready to go back to my room when I heard the rustling of sheets. I turned back to Kendall's room and saw that he had thrown the sheets off and moved over more to the right.
He was inviting me in.
Hey, I could use some company tonight.
I crawled into Kendall's bed and wrapped my arms around his body. He immediately turned over and rested one hand on my hip, the other still under his pillow. "Bad dream?" Kendall asked.
I shivered and held him tighter, figuring that was enough of an explanation.
"It's ok, Kara-bear," he whispered, pulling me closer. "I'm right here."
I leaned up on my elbow and kissed him, a soft and gentle kiss that I hope conveyed all my trust to him. I smiled at him before resting my cheek on his chest and letting the soft beating of his heart lull me to sleep.
