A/N: I love you my amazing reviewers (in a non creepy way)! Sorry for the long wait. My creative juices are just aren't flowing like they usually do. In this chapter Gavin gets somewhere with Kendra. Not far at all, but he's inched one tiny little step further.

Kendra was lying on the roof, listening to her collection of music. She was just in the middle of an All Time Low ballad when a body plopped down next to her. She turned to see a familiar boy, looking at her.

"Hey Kendra," Gavin greeted quietly.

"Hello Navorog," she responded coldly.

Gavin rubbed the back of his neck. "Call me Gavin?" He asked, "Please."

Kendra just glared at him. It felt weird to call him Navorog, it always had, but she would never let him know that.

Gavin sighed, "I'm so sorry, Kens."

Then Kendra blew up, "Sorry! Sorry! You did not just tell me you were sorry. I hate to break it to you, Navorog," she put extra emphasis on his name, earning her a flinch, "but sorry won't fix a thing! Sorry will not bring back Dougan!"

She made a move to leave, but he grabbed her hand, and pulled her back down. "I know what I did was really messed up. I know nothing I can say or do can change that, but I wish I could. If I could I would go back in time, I would never have hurt you, I would have just got up the nerve and told you I loved you. I did love you and I always will." By the end of his statement a few tears had slipped down his face.

Kendra didn't really know what to tell the crying dragon. What was she supposed to say? So she just sort of looked at him for a minute.

"Gavin..." She started then stopped just as quickly. Kendra had always sucked at words. He looked at her with his brown orbs. Little glimmers of hope, shining in them. She sighed, "I've missed you."

Gavin didn't really know what she meant by that, but he could tell she wasn't going to explain.

Kendra offered him an earbud, a sign of momentary peace. Gavin took it gladly. They just sort of sat there listening to the notes and the rythems for a while. As the sun dipped down in the sky, and the night took over.

Gavin was wondering through the woods. He didn't really know what he was doing, but it was nice out there.

He had passed by the staytrs playing tennis. They didn't notice him luckily. He wasn't really in a tennis mood.

He continued on until he got where the forgotten chapel used to be. He knew Kendra would love it there. With all the flowers covering the ruins.

He wondered how long it had been since she had come here? Hmmmm... this place might stir up bad memories for her. Considering she took out a witch and a demon here. But it was still very pretty here

Gavin pondered this for a while before he finally decided to attempt to get her to come here with him.

Gavin stood up with a grin plastered to his face, and made his way back to the house.

Again, so sorry for the long wait. What do you think will happen when Gavin gets back. *hint hint* *evil laughter*
