AN: Hello! :D This story is going to be FILLED with HCA, a little bit of romance, and adventure. It will not have any slash and Kendall/Camille is the only pairing. The story is almost complete already and will have three or four chapters. I'm posting this first chapter and then it is up to you guys to review and let me know if you want me to post the next chapter and so forth! :D

Disclaimer: I don't own anything…at all…and I never will.

Warning: Rated T because this story will get kind of bloody. Nothing super graphic, but just a warning for the squeamish - some ideas came from my paramedic friend :D

"Are you sure you don't want to come?" Kendall asked, putting the last of the bags in the back of the rental car. Logan and Carlos both shook their heads at the same time. "Again, do they have corn dogs and fish sticks in the woods?" Carlos asked. Kendall chuckled, "No, Carlos. No corn dogs OR fish sticks." he replied. "How about a medical clinic?" Logan asked, not amused. "Not that either." Kendall said, patting Logan's shoulder. "Then we'll pass." Logan and Carlos replied in unison. Kendall grinned, but it quickly disappeared off of his face when he saw the two humongous suitcases that James was coming outside with. "What are those?" Kendall exclaimed. He could have sworn that he had just put a "James" duffel bag in the car already. "Um…my beauty products!" James said, irritated that Kendall had to even ask. "James. Buddy. No beauty products allowed on this camping trip." Kendall said. James looked at Kendall like he had just stolen his favorite lollipop. "Sorry, James" Kendall said. Head down, James stomped inside the house to put his suitcases back.

"Why is he even coming?" Camille asked, laughing at how ridiculous James could be. Kendall wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled him against her, "He claims that the ladies will love him for bravely going into the woods to go camping." he replied and Camille giggled. "Oh! So it's not just because you and I are tons of fun?" Camille said, feigning disappointment. A huge smile spread across Kendall's face, "Unfortunately not, my dear" he sighed and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. Camille instantly felt butterflies appear in her stomach and she pressed her face into his shirt, reveling in the smell of Downy fabric softener, light cologne and Irish Spring body soap. Gosh, the way he made her feel sometimes…she might as well be floating on cloud nine. Camille heard someone clear their throat and she looked up. Katie was standing in front of them, not looking overly pleased at the mushy stuff that was happening in front of her.

"Katie, darling, try to keep mom out of trouble while I'm gone - and refrain from doing anything illegal." Kendall said, bending down to give his sister a hug and kiss. "Meh, no guarantees, big brother." Katie replied, reciprocating the hug. Kendall ruffled her hair and moved onto his upset mother. "I don't know if I'm comfortable with having no communication with you for three days. Can't you guys just…go fishing and then come back tonight?" Mrs. Knight asked. Kendall laughed and hugged his mom tightly. "It's okay, Mom, we'll be fine. Love you." he replied. Mrs. Knight hugged her son back, "Love you too, hon." she said. Camille smiled as she watching Kendall, Carlos, and Logan exchange "man hugs" aka going to shake each other's hand and then half hugging/ half patting the other's back. James, still pouting, came out of the house and did the same thing with Carlos and Logan. Camille giggled to herself - men always did strange things when it came to trying not to be "clingy" but wanting to show their friendly affection. Kendall and James would miss Carlos and Logan, and vice versa. Why couldn't men just casually hug and say that they'd miss one another? Men were a mystery. Bags double-checked, goodbyes exchanged, and brakes and tires triple-checked, James, Camille, and Kendall hopped into the rental car. Kendall drove, James sat in the passenger seat, and Camille sat in the back with the bags. Waving, the three teenagers drove off and towards the woods. Tent? Check. Medical kit? Check. Food and water? Check, check. Cigarette lighter for emergencies? Check. Yup, they had everything that they would need in case of emergency. What could go wrong, right? As the drove happily towards their destination, James, Camille, and Kendall had no idea what lay ahead of them.

The road trip was long, sure, but Camille did not care. She had always wanted to go camping for a weekend, but her parents had never had the time to take her. Now here she was, on the way to go stay in the woods for three days with her gorgeous boyfriend and his best friend. James was great and all, but if he didn't stop singing along with whatever song was playing on his iPod…Camille was going to ditch him at the next rest stop.

Camille managed to get through the rest of the trip without killing James. That was a good thing…killing Kendall's best friend would have put a damper on her relationship with him. Camille sighed as she watched the beautiful scenery go by. Kendall was driving through some of the park so they could reach a certain spot that was "like heaven" according to him. Little did he know, HE was already heavenly enough for her. "This place is beautiful." she stated. Kendall smiled at her in the rear view mirror. "Something you have in common." he said, winking. Camille blushed and smiled. He was so adorable. Things were quiet for awhile as they drove. Camille enjoyed the scenery while Kendall drove and James slept.

Camille peered out the wind shield from where she was sitting, just in time to see a large animal run in front of the car. "KENDALL, LOOK OUT!" Camille screamed. Kendall swerved sharply to the right and Camille felt the seatbelt bite violently into her chest as their car collided with a tree.


Pain. Pain was the first thing Camille was aware of when she regained consciousness. She forced her eyes open, but everything was blurry. Camille blinked a few times and things gradually became clearer. Their duffel bags were strewn all over the car, the seats were at odd angles, and glass was everywhere. Wincing, Camille unbuckled her seatbelt. She knew almost immediately that she had several bruised ribs, but other than that she seemed to be in one piece. Carefully, Camille managed to get out of the car through her broken window. The front of the car was badly smashed against a large oak tree and the windshield was in a million pieces that covered James and Kendall. Kendall was hunched over in his seat, so she couldn't see how badly he was hurt. With a shaking hand, Camille pressed two fingers to her boyfriend's neck, almost jumping with relief when she felt a pulse. Then, she moved over to the other side of the car to check on James before she trying to get Kendall to wake up. James was listing to the side in his seat and his arm was at an unnatural looking angle, but she didn't see any serious bleeding other than quite a few minor cuts from the windshield's glass. Holding her breath, Camille pressed her fingers to James' neck. Camille sighed when she felt a decent pulse thrum beneath her fingers. "James" she called. "James? Can you hear me?" she said. A sudden feeling of loneliness hit her when she realized that they were in the middle of no where and Kendall and James were unconscious. With a gentle yet firm grip, Camille shook James' uninjured arm. This time, James groaned and stirred a little. "There ya go, James. Come on. I need you to wake up for me." Camille encouraged. James slowly opened his eyes and blinked at her. "Camille? What-what happened?" he asked, terribly confused and worried. Camille instantly grew worried when James asked her what happened. He didn't remember? Then it hit her…he had been sleeping with his iPod on. "A deer ran out in front of the car. Kendall swerved and we hit a tree." she replied. James nodded and tried to sit up, only to cry out as his arm and ribs protested. "What is it?" Camille asked, trying to figure out how she could help her friend. James squeezed his eyes shut, "My arm. I-I think it's broken." Camille grimaced and stepped away from the car, attempting to find a way to get James out. The passenger door was crushed, but Camille grabbed the handle and pulled as hard as she could. Just when Camille was ready to forget that idea, the door squeaked and groaned before falling off of the car completely and hitting the grass. She couldn't help but flinch at the jarring thud the act had caused. After getting a hold of herself, she reached over James and unbuckled his seatbelt. Luckily, he wasn't terribly trapped inside, so with a lot of help from Camille, James managed to get himself out of the car and onto the soft grass.

"Guys? Guys?" came a distressed call from the other side of the car. Heart pounding fiercely in her chest, Camille ran over to the driver's seat of the car to check on Kendall. Confused, near tears, and in obvious pain, Kendall was weakly struggling with his seatbelt while continuing to call out for Camille and James. Camille instantly felt guilty that Kendall had woken up in pain and seemingly alone. "It's okay, Kendall. I'm right here." she said, feeling even guiltier when she noticed that he was visibly shaking. "Camille! Oh, thank goodness you're okay! Where's James?" Kendall exclaimed. As if on cue, James appeared beside Camille. "It's okay, buddy. Calm down. We're both right here." he said, clutching his left arm to his chest. At the sight of his two friends in one piece, Kendall relaxed a little and took a shaky breath. "James, can you help me get him out of the car?" Camille asked. James nodded, "I can try".

Kendall's arm was wrapped protectively around his waist and he seemed paler than usual, so Camille needed him to get out of the car so she could check for injuries. Slowly and carefully, James and Camille managed to get Kendall out of the car through his window. James (albeit one-handed at the moment) managed to help Kendall recline onto the grass so Camille could give him a once-over. The first thing Camille noticed, was that she could have sworn the bottom half of her boyfriend's shirt had been blue and white checkers - not bright red.

Dun dun dun! What's gonna happen? Review and you will find out this weekend! If you guys don't review…well…you'll never know what happens to Kendall! ;)
