5: Crazy day

"Oh my god!" I laugh hard as Carlos falls off his seat.


Kendal just chuckles, shaking head with a stupid little smile.


"Not funny." He frowns, getting up.


"It is. How do you miss your seat?" I say, still laughing.


"I got caught up in the moment." He defends.


"Sure." I say, almost dropping my smoothie.


"You guys were amazing today." Logan says.


"Thanks man. I always have your guys's backs." Kendall nods.


"Very, very bad Amber." Logan says.


"Thanks." I chuckle, spinning my smoothie cup around.


"So, are you and Kendall actually dating?" Carlos asks and I freeze, slowly looking up at him.


"Uh no. I was just saying that so Victoria would back off." I shrug.


"Yep. She's a really good actress." Kendall points out.


"Oh, so that's why you kissed him?" James says.


"Yes. That's why he kissed me back. It was all just part of the plan." I state.


"I don't know, that kiss didn't look like just acting to me." Logan says.


"You're being ridiculous. And besides, I have a boyfriend...I think."


"What do you mean?" Logan asks.


"We always fight and he's really clingy. We're on and off a lot." I shrug.


"What's his name?" Kendall asks.


"Oh, wouldn't you like to know?" I tease and he shakes his head.


"His name is Jackson. He's been at the Palm Woods for two years now. I arrived here six months ago. We started dating two months after I arrived here" I say.


"Are they all verbal fights? Has be even gotten physical?" Logan asks.


"Why are we even talking about this?" I chuckle, standing up.


I then walk over to the trashcan and throw my smoothie out.


I then feel the sudden urge to vomit so I just stand by the can for a few seconds.


Whenever I talk about Jackson, my body goes into panic mode.


"Amber." A voice says.


"Uh, yeah?" I say, clearing my throat as I walk over to Kendall.


"I know we've only known each other for a few days but, you can tell me anything. You know that right?" He says.


"Thanks. But I'm okay." I grin, walking past him.


"Amber." He says again and pulls my wrist and I flinch and he immediately lets me go.


But the burn on my arm healed pretty fast.


"I'm sorry. Tell me what's going on." He says.


"Nothing is going on. I'm fine Kendall. I'll see you guys at the studio tomorrow." I grin through watery eyes and scurry into the elevator.

"Shit." I breathe, trying to calm down.


"Amber." A voice says and I jump, almost falling on the floor.


"I said I was fine Kendall." I say, putting hand over my heart.


"You don't have to lie to me." He says.


"You don't know anything about me." I sigh.


"Doesn't matter. I know when someone's in a troubling situation." He says.


"Kendall, I'm really tired. I can't do this right now." I say.


"Okay, I'll go. But only if you answer one question." He proposes and I nod.


"Does he hit you?"


"Kendall I-" I start and he comes closer to me, holding my hands.


"All you have to do is say the word." He whispers and I look up at him.


"N-no. He doesn't hit me. It's all just verbal arguments." I say, slowly pulling away from him.


"You should get some sleep. Today has been a crazy day. For all of us." I say, running my fingers through my hair.


He then grabs me and pulls me closer to him and kisses me.


My hands make my way to his firm chest and he kisses me harder.


"Shit, I'm sorry." He says, pulling away.


"I uh, lost my girlfriend to New Zealand last year and I guess, you remind me of her." He breathes.


"It's fine. Like I said, it's been a crazy day." I say, removing my hands from his chest.


I then stand on my tippy toes, reaching his ear.


"Goodnight Kendall." I whisper and I hear his breath hitch.


I give a final grin and head inside my apartment.


He smelled really good.
