No ones Pov.

Meanwhile back in North Carolina, Jo's feelings for Kendall have grown and she now knows fully what she wants. After talks with Camille and Katie or even Mrs. Knight she's realized shes completely in love with her old best friend.

Jo's still nannying but is ready to move on from it, she's been trying out for little acting spots but has only got one small one. But she's determined to make it big time. But she needs Kendall first.

Kendall's Pov.

Alex has been great to me, she's become personal therapist. I feel comfortable enough that I can tell her anything, and I have told her everything. She's made me walk around without a shirt, telling me its who I am inside and not what people see on the outside. Its worked, and has only taken 3 weeks.

I'm more comfortable in my own skin, I can control myself. I find myself laughing and smiling a bit more because I don't have a big burden on my shoulders. I've talked with Alex about my feelings, mostly for Jo and that stuff.

She tells me I'm in love with Jo. But that's hard for me to see, she was my best friend for forever, now just a friend who I'm not completely comfortable around, and it sucks.

I've come to realize I do really have strong feeling for her, but the first thing in a relationship is telling the truth.

There's a lot I can't tell Jo, first because its information I'm not aloud to share, and if I tell her what happened in Russia and other things, she will never look at me the same.

But Alex said if she really love's me she will understand and wait till I'm ready. She might get frustrated but I can't just spill it all out right away.

After a lot of thinking, I've decided I'm ready to go back. We said we would face our family's together. I feel more comfortable with myself, I'm excited to see my family. I miss them and my friends mostly Jo.

This is gonna be hard but as long as I stay calm and think I'll be fine. I'm a little nervous about them meeting Alex.

But I'm not letting that stop me, I'm stronger than that. This time away has also let me get back to myself physically and I'm stronger than ever.

We spent a weekend at Alex's family and they were great to her. It made me so happy she deserved it so much. Now were off to my home. I'm determined too be a better person to them and be more comfortable. I don't really want them to see my scares so I'll still cover my back around them.

I let everyone know I was coming home, they were thrilled. When We pulled into the driveway, Katie and her boyfriend Drew were sitting up on the porch so they came down.

"Hey Ken!" Katie said hoping down the steps.

"Hey Katie!" I said giving her a big hug!

"Drew, how are you doing?" I said asked shaking his hand trying to be more open. Which seemed to make Katie happy.

"Umm... I'm good, how are you?" He said timidly.

"Good. Guys this is Alex, Alex this is my sister Katie and Drew." I said smiling.

"Hi, its nice to finally meet you!" Alex said shaking there hands.

"You too!" Katie said.

"I'm gonna grab my bag really quick." Alex said going to the front seat.

"Kendall are you two together?" Katie asked staring daggers at me.

"No!" I said strongly." Giving her a disappointing look, I hope it doesn't look like that.

Katie's Pov.

Kendall got home about an hour ago, he looks great! And his spirits seem high and he's actually smiling. We met his absolutely beautiful friend Alex. At first I thought that they were together but Kendall quickly shut that down.

But Alex seems very nice and her and Ken seem to have a good relationship, but I'm still keeping my eyes on her for Jo.

Mom met Alex and we all talked and caught up. They told us about the lake and the house. They were funny together, they reminded me of Jo and Kendall in high school. But there much more mature and Kendall's more grown and very large.

Suddenly I remembered Jo, Kendall has to go see her, she's in love with him!

"Jo's home, you should go say hi." I said looking over to her drive way.

Kendall gave Alex a look and she gave him a quick nod.

"I'll show you to your room first." He said hesitating.

"No, go now!" Alex said surprisingly and pointing to the door. He nodded and walked toward the door.

"Alex, I'll show you to your room." My mom said helping her with her bag.

"Thanks so much." Alex said grabbing her other bag.

Kendall's Pov.

I was walking over to Jo's house to say hey. I gathered myself at the door and thought of everything that's happened in the last year. From Russia to home to meeting Alex.

But it's finally time I'm better. I'm confident and ready to do this. I knocked on the door twice and waited.

"Kendall, Hey!" Camille said opening the door.

"Camille, hey how are you?" I said giving her a big hug.

"Great, come in right now!" She said walking in front of me.

"Cam, who was at the..." Jo said coming down the steps and then seeing me.

"Kendall hey!" She said timidly then came over and gave me a tight hug and I returned it really not wanting to let go.

The feeling of her under my arms was all I wanted, She's all I live for!

"How have you guys been?" I said letting go.

"Good, two months felt like a long time tho." Jo said and blushed a little. I smiled.

"Well I'm good, oh and I'm pregnant!" Cam said smiling.

'No way!' I said giving her a huge hug.

'That's so awesome. I'm very happy for you." I said receiving weird looks from them both. I'm guessing they weren't expecting me to be happy.

I talked with them for a little while, and when I told them about Alex I could tell they both were not happy about me spending so much time with her. But I told them a little about her family situation and Camille softened up but not Jo.

"Alex is actually... here.' I said receiving a WTF look from both of them.

Alex has been introduced to the family. Are things gonna heat up? Hope you guys like this chapter, stay tuned!
