I have decided that I am going to start posting this every other day. So Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Then the usual random story on Saturdays (provided I am not drowning in work and actually have an update). So yeah! :D Let's see, WARNINGS: Pretty graphic flashback containing self-harm. Self-esteem issues. I think that's it. But seriously, the part in italic's is INTENSE. Reader discretion is advised.

Chapter 5:
Kendall slid the CD he'd made for Katie into the CD player, the song that always made her smile playing first.
"I don't know why you always get so insecure," He sang to her literally. "I wish you could see what I see, when you're looking the mirror." Katie smiled softly; she loved it when he sang to her.
"You always know how to make me smile," Katie said when the song ended, popping a few corn-nuts in her mouth. They drove for a while in silence, the music volume turned down. An hour later Katie pulled off the highway.
"Sorry," She mumbled, parking the car and leaving to pee. Kendall shrugged, stopping the car and going to pee too. They met back by the car and drove off.
"Hey, how much longer do you think until we get there?" Kendall asked.
"Well we just passed the Florida state line, so it shouldn't be much longer," Katie said, looking at her GPS. "Yeah, about two hours left." Kendall nodded with a smile.
"I can't wait," Kendall answered, stretching back in his seat. "So what are we gonna do tonight?"
"I thought it was assumed what we were gonna do tonight," Katie said flirtatiously.
"Mmm, for a virgin you're pretty bold," Kendall said seductively.
"I just want it to be magical," Katie smirked, remembering her childhood fantasies.
"It will be I promise," Kendall said, kissing his girlfriend softly.
They drove in silence for a while until they reached Miami. "Call Carlos for me please?" Katie asked, a little smile crossing her face. Kendall nodded, picking his phone up and dialing.
"Hey, we're almost there, where are you? Okay- Nope, we're good. Gotcha." Kendall hung up. "They're all there waiting, and so is Alexa."
"I don't hate her Kendall, but everyone treats me like a kid around her," Katie groaned.
"Well we're gonna show em different this time, okay?" Kendall said firmly. Katie nodded. "I won't let what happened last time happen again." Katie shuddered thinking back to that night, when everything changed....
FLASHBACK, KATIE'S POV:
"Katie?!" Carlos asked, incredulous. My arm was dripping blood, and even though I'd laid the blade down, I couldn't get the bleeding to stop. I looked up at him in tears.
"It won't stop," I sobbed. "Help."
"It's gonna be okay, I promise," Carlos said, hugging me and managing to get blood all over his shirt. "I'm gonna get Kendall, don't do anything, okay?" I nodded, still sobbing. Carlos came back in what seemed like an instant with my boyfriend, pain taking over his face as he looked at me.
"Let me see," He said, kneeling down next to me. I moved the cloth now stained forever with red, revealing the gash on my arm that seemed to be pouring my blood down my arm.
"I-i-it won't stop," I sobbed.
"Shh, we're gonna have to the hospital, but everything is gonna be okay, I promise. Do you trust me?" I nodded, letting Kendall scoop me up, trying not to ruin his shirt, but burying my head in his chest. Carlos threw his jacket around me, helping us sneak out, but I never took my eyes off Kendall. He never said anything but I love you's and it's going to be okay's. Never yelled at me, didn't say anything about his now bloodstained shirt. He wouldn't leave my side, cradling me as they stitched up my arm. Even when he took me home and made me tell my mom what had happened, he never left. That was the night I knew he loved me.
END FLASHBACK, KATIE'S POV.
"Okay," Katie said, winding down the street that their summer oasis waited on, "The house number is-"
"Found it!" Kendall shouted, seeing Logan's bright red truck in the driveway. Katie stopped the car and got out, stretching before James, Logan, Carlos, and Alexa all wrapped her up into a group hug.
"Okay I do need air," Katie squeaked. Everyone giggled before dispersing, going back to help unload.
"I'll take that," Kendall said, taking the guitar case from her hands.
"Oooo! You brought your guitar!" Carlos squealed. Katie rolled her eyes, smiling. She knew this was gonna be a rocking summer. (No pun intended :P )
