"We need to talk," Kendall frowned, gesturing to the table.
I chewed on my bottom lip and nodded, taking a seat with James and Kendall across from me.
"So when did this happen?" James began, leaning his elbows on the table and resting his chin on his hands.
"Last night..." I sighed, nervously playing with the string on my sweatpants as I trailed off. "He-He was in here when I got home. He was mad that I 'lied' to him about dating you," I explained to Kendall, putting air quotes around "lied".
"And that's it?" Kendall prompted, concern evident in his beautiful green eyes.
"He threatened to hurt you if...if um...in two weeks," I mumbled, blushing.
"In two wee-" I made a face and kicked his leg under the table. "Ow what was that fo- Oh. Oh wow."
"Wait, what's in two weeks?" James asked, glancing back and forth between me and Kendall.
"Kara's birthday-"
"Something special-"
We looked at eachother with wide eyes and quickly switched to the opposite argument.
"I mean, my birthday," I spit out.
"N-nothing special."
"Ok, I'm so confused," James sighed. "Your birthday is in two weeks and..." he trailed off as a smirk grew on his face. It soon disappeared and he frowned disapprovingly at Kendall. "You set a date?"
"Not officially," Kendall mumbled, blushing.
"Have I taught you nothing?"
"Correct."
"Wow, you suck."
"No sorry, I don't swing that way." Kendall gave James a cheeky grin and winked at me.
"Oh right. Does Kara?"
"JAMES!" I shrieked, face turning beet red. "Why would you even- I- you- you're both horrible," I finally got out, dropping my head to the table.
"Hey, what'd I do?" Kendall whined.
"Everything," I mumbled into the table. "You did everything."
"You're mea-"
"Alright, kiddos, let's get back to the point." I could practically see James' eye roll. "Now Colin. What are we gonna do about him?"
"What can we do?" I sighed, lifting my head off the table and frowning at the boys. "Honestly, do you have any ideas?"
"Well we can't just let him control your life like this," Kendall growled, getting up and beginning to pace. "He's-he's- he's hurt you before, emotionally scarred you, drugged me, threatened James, but now this? He was in our dorm, Kara. Where we sleep. Eat. Live. Every. Fucking. Day. Isn't that illegal? To break in? Can I just kick his ass off to some godforsaken island where we never have to see him again?"
Kendall sat back down, breathing heavily, and James and I stared at him, mouths hanging open.
"What?" he asked nervously.
"You just...kind of exploded, bro," James began slowly.
"Sorry, it's just... I feel obligated to protect Kara, y'know? And how can I do that when he clearly has access in and out of here so easily? That's scary to think about. I don't want him to hurt you," Kendall said softly, reaching across the table to take my hand.
I squeezed his hand and gave him a small smile, shaking my head. "It's not me I'm worried about, sweetie. His idea of hurting me is emotionally, by actually physically hurting you...somehow."
"I'd like to see the jackass try," he snorted.
"I...kinda would too," I mumbled. "But anyway. We need to find out about his uh background, if you will."
"James, Dave's brother is in that group, right? Uh...Matt?" Kendall asked, turning to his best friend.
"Yeah," he nodded.
"Ok, well that's a start," I perked up, smiling at the boys. "We can learn a little something through David! Well...whatever he can get out of his brother, if he's willing."
"Oh I'm sure he would be," James quickly responded. "He agrees that Colin is a creep."
"Good, that's good," I muttered.
"Kara?"
"Hmm?"
"You're beginning to look a little...psychotic, sweetie," Kendall offered gently.
"Oh god, really? I did this for weeks after the whole junior prom incident and I seriously freaked my mom out. I started shaking a lot and sometimes I'd just start rambling, plus there were these horrible nightmares, oh and other times I'd-"
"Shh, it's ok now. We're here. We've got you," James murmured, taking my small hand in his larger one. "Kendall and I are both here, and we're gonna take care of this for you, ok?"
"We're always here, Kara," Kendall added, beckoning me over to sit in his lap.
Taking his suggestion with a smile, I settled down in his warm embrace, grateful for the feeling of security that washed over me. "I love you guys," I whispered. "So much. Thank you for being here."
"Of course," James smiled warmly, leaning over to kiss my forehead.
"I love you baby girl," Kendall whispered in my ear, pulling me into his chest. "So much."
KENDALL'S POV
"Dude, is she seriously asleep like that?"
I checked on Kara while keeping up a steady rhythm of stroking her hair so she wouldn't wake up before nodding at James. "She's out, man."
"How the hell is she comfortable like that?"
"I have absolutely no idea," I chuckled, trying to not move at all.
"Kenny, I love you," she mumbled into my neck, tightening her grip on my waist.
"Oh holy shit," I choked out.
"What, what happened?" James asked, eyes going wide.
"Can't- breathe-" I gently lifted her arms from around my waist and laid one on each shoulder. "Fuck, that's better. Hey James?"
"Yeah?"
"You look pretty dead yourself, wanna kick back in my room?"
"That'd be awesome."
"I think we all should," I sighed, rubbing my tired eyes. "Wake you up in a couple hours or so."
"Kay," James mumbled.
I waited for the inevitable squeak of my bed as he fell onto it before carrying Kara into her room and laying down in bed with her. Letting out a deep breath, I brushed Kara's hair out of her face before lightly kissing her lips, loving the little smile that appeared.
Cradling her in my arms, I let my mind wander back to the night she told me about Colin. What hurt me most was the troubled look on her face as she slept through a nightmare, reliving it all again. And I knew waking her up would be horrible. All I could do was wait for it to end. And god, did that take too long.
She doesn't deserve all this pain.
He has to go.
