*excuse the wrongly uploaded chapter from before!

Ariana looked back at her boyfriend's terrified expression.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit," she muttered under her breath a million times as she stood up. Damn Camille and her big mouth.

"Who-" Kendall started asking in his daze, but Ariana cut him off quickly, "Please, before you say anything, please let me explain."

Ariana looked up at Kendall, his eyes were wide and filled with pain. Actually, she was surprised Kendall cared that much at all.

"Hey, what's up!" Carlos and James yelled happily as they rushed through the door. Terrible timing.

Ariana grabbed Kendall's hand and rushed into the nearest room, shutting the door behind her.

Kendall slowly walked over to a blue duvet covered bed and sat on it, his eyes off in the distance a bit and his mouth slightly open.

Ariana figured it was the room Kendall had told her yesterday he and Logan shared. One side of the room was tidy; with a perfectly made bed, a book shelf with all the books organized by name, a dresser with a variety of framed photos and certificates, awards, and a clock stood.

Then, there was appeared to be Kendall's side of the room. There were clothes spilling from the dresser, and a plethora of things shoved under the bed. He had a bed side table, scattered with just about anything.

Arianna sighed as she put her back to the wall, she said in a soft tone. "It happened at the beginning of my freshmen year in high school."

Kendall snapped back into reality, slowly looking up at her.

"It was this stupid party- this boy's parents were going out of town, so naturally, there were tons of kids and alcohol. And some senior boy, decided to-" she searched for the right word as she sat down next to Kendall on the bed. "Take advantage of me…"

Kendall grabbed Arianna's hand. "Fucking bastard…" he said under his breath.

"I want to forget it. So badly. But I can't," she said, shaking the thought from her mind. "Anyways, soon after, of course he spread rumors to his friends. In no time, I was known as a slut. He ruined my first year in high school- the year I was so excited for- that turned out to be complete hell…" she choked on her words a bit. "God, I hate him. I hate him so much. I still remember the room he forced me into upstairs. The walls were painted a ugly yellow color and-"

"Please, stop…" Kendall said, shaking his head in disgust.

Ariana bit her lip and looked down. This was the first time she'd opened up to someone like this. Camille knew, but only the basics of the story. He barely even knew Kendall, if he didn't think he was messed up before, he would now.

"But, what doesn't kill you make you stronger, right?" she said, trying to give Kendall a small smile to lighten the mood.

"Is that why you cut then?" he asked, still not making full eye contact with the girl.

Ariana sighed, "That's part of it…My brother died that year too. In a car crash…We were really close. He was one of my best friends; one of the only people there for me. He was the only person who could make me feel…beautiful. I told him he shouldn't go out at three in the morning- it was a blizzard outside. The roads were terrible and-and…" she got choked up on her words.

Kendall locked eyes with Ariana for the first time. She let out a shaky breath as she looked down and a tear rolled down her face. She realized, even though it hurt to have the memories brought back up again, it was good to get everything off her chest, and finally open up to someone. These things had been buried inside her for so long, and she was finally letting them out.

"Anyways, I had just been raped, my brother was dead, and my parents wanted to ship me off to rehab for an eating disor-" she cut herself off. Kendall suddenly looked up at her again. "W-what?"

"Nothing, nothing."

"You were going to say eating disorder."

"What? No I wasn't-"

"Don't fucking lie to me!" he yelled.

Ariana jumped back a bit at his tone. "Uhm…I…fine. I had some...issues. Anyways, I was…well, broken. And…it was a relief at the time."

Kendall unexpectedly pulled her into a hug. And Ariana couldn't control it anymore, she broke down in Kendall's arms. And for once she didn't care that someone was seeing her cry, because for once, she felt safe.
