Kendally (6)Kendall ~Kendall's POV~ "Should we wake him?" a familiar, young, female voice asked quietly, and immediately after, someone responded. "Nah…yesterday was a long day for him. It was almost two in the morning before he finally fell asleep, I think." Even though I was listening to the conversation between my little sister, Katie, and my best buds around me, I kept my eyes shut. I knew that they were talking about me. "My poor big brother," Katie frowned. "He hasn't gone crazy over a girl since Jo, has he?" I heard someone sigh deeply, and it sounded like it was Logan. "Not that we know of…" I began to bite the inside of my lip as I processed that through my mind. They were right. Ever since my old girlfriend, Jo Taylor, left to New Zealand for a movie…I had been alone. I hadn't even pictured myself with any girl. But all that changed when I laid my eyes on Ally. I began to move slightly, pretending to stir from my slumber. As soon as I opened my eyes, I realized that no one was even in my room. Rolling my eyes, I quickly threw off the covers and tiptoed over to open the door of our bedroom. I peeked out, and saw everyone in the kitchen area. I quickly but quietly walked into the bathroom to make myself more presentable. Everyone greeted me when I finally made my appearance, and my mom came up to give me a big hug. "Hey, honey. I didn't see you last night…Katie and I were on a day-trip and we got in late. We've missed you!" I smiled at my mom, sincerely glad to see her again. "That's ok, and I've missed you too!" I snitched a freshly-baked blueberry muffin from the counter and bit into it, closing my eyes as I let it dance across my taste buds. "And I've missed your home-cooking." Mom grinned hugely, and as I looked around at everyone else, I realized how happy they looked. It was great to be reunited with them again, and I was sure that everyone in this room could say the same. "So, what are you planning on doing on your first day back?" Katie asked, talking mostly to James and me. "We are going girl-hunting," Carlos said, answering for us. "Not for us…but for Kendall, I mean. We're looking for the airport-girl." "Ally," I corrected immediately, and took another bite of the muffin as everyone shot me amused looks. "Ooh, can I help?" Katie asked excitedly. "I don't have anything to do today." I sighed. "You know what, guys? It's James' and my first day back…let's just relax. We can just hang out at the pool like we used to, or something." Five faces stared at me in complete shock. "Are you serious?" James asked for everyone. "You were so depressed about not seeing her yesterday," Logan added. I threw the wrapper to the muffin into the trash and then held my hands up in front of me. "Guys—it's ok. We'd just be wasting time. It's highly unlikely that I'll ever see her again…and honestly, I think we need a day to just relax." I watched as Carlos, Logan, and James exchanged confused looks. "Well…alright," Logan said quietly. "So, looks like we're laying low today," James confirmed. "Sorry, Katie." Katie shrugged. "No problem. I'll just go find Tyler and hang out in the park or something." Everyone else just kind of shrugged it off, and we all went to our separate areas of the apartment. James and Carlos switched on the TV to play some video games, Logan brought out a book to read, and I re-entered the bathroom. Sighing, I stared at the face looking back at me in the mirror. Did I do the right thing? I thought, and felt nothing but regret. I guess that means 'no', I continued, and took a deep breath. But like I had said before, it was highly unlikely that I'd ever see Ally again…so I guess that I had better try to begin to forget about her. It wasn't going to be easy; letting a girl like her go. But I was killing myself just thinking of what could never be.
