Shot In the Dark: Chapter 3

You know what I hate? When people don't think. More specifically, when they don't think of the people they could be hurting. My Godsister is now NOT coming. So expect our regular update schedule. I completely forgot about this story (Whoops!), so I thought I might share it. APPLICABLE WARNINGS: Sort of mentions of past self-harm and maybe a little bit of overprotectiveness, but when I wrote it, it was right after I had made the decision to permanently stop, and here I am three years later. :) Enjoy!

Chapter 3:

Katie looked out the window as they drove to the fast food joint, deciding to just park and go in.

"Mm, what do you want?" Kendall said, wrapping his arm around Katie protectively.

"Hm," Katie said sureveying her options. "That last one on the board." Kendall nodded, bending over to kiss her head gently.

"Got it," he whispered. He looked around at the people pointing and giggling.

"Ignore them," Katie said, leaning her head up against Kendall's body. She liked being so short, it meant he had to pick her up to show her true affection. He smiled, picking her up to peck her on the lips.

"I love how small you are," he whispered before setting her down.

"I'm not THAT small," Katie mumbled, blushing as she noticed her tummy sticking out a little.

"You're just the right size," Kendall said confidently, stepping up to order their food. He handed Katie their cups. "Get me some coke?" Katie giggled and nodded, skipping over to the soda machine, filling their cups before sitting down at a table closer to the back so they could be playful. Kendall came back over a few minutes later, setting their food down in front of them. They mumbled a quick prayer before digging in.

"So what are we gonna do all summer?" Kendall asked with some fries in his mouth.

"We should go on a TON of different adventures," Katie started. "We should go crazy! We could make crazy videos, taunt all the girls on twitter, dance around in our underwear but I have to check in once a week with Yugi and Mike just for some routine maintenance and a quick security and harassment sweep. Mikey's been so happy since we started that site."

Kendall just chuckled as she babbled on and on, commenting occasionally, happy he'd been able to get the shy little girl in pink bandanas to open up. "So what's new with the gang?" He asked.

"Oh Rachel and Thomas working on preparing for college, Anna being Anna, nothing really new," Katie shrugged, finishing off her fries. Another accomplishment Kendall took pride in was her feeling okay eating in front of him. She still had trouble doing that in front of her friends without him. "Hey, did you pack those things I asked you to?"

"Yup, we are gonna make sweet, passionate love this summer," Kendall said as they stood up.

"I'll be right back," Katie said, starting to skip off merrily, but Kendall grabbed her wrist, stopping her.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"Just to the bathroom," Katie answered hesitantly, knowing where he was headed with this.

"Show me your arms," He demanded gently. Katie slowly showed them to her boyfriend, nothing more than the same scars she always had on them. "Nothing in your pockets?" Katie shook her head. Kendall hugged her before letting go, smiling. Katie smiled back, walking off. Kendall waited patiently by the door, taking the girl's hands before they got back in the car, driving off to get to the time of their lives.
