Secrets revealed

Chapter 15

*Harry's POV*

I stare at her as she walks towards me, I'm unsure exactly of what to do in this type of situation. I have never been one to comfort or care for others, I have simply never cared enough to want to.

She stands in front of me her eyes filled with some unrecognisable emotion. 'Baby what's just happened?' My voice softer than I thought it would be

'Harry can you stay here with them please. If that happens with Emily just hold her and say 'I love you' and if Zee comes out he will either openly talk or be withdrawn. Just handle that as you see fit. I need to go somewhere. I won't be long' her voice sounds angry but exhausted

'But Kenzie I don't understand-' she cuts me off my placing a hand to my cheek, I lean into her touch it's so comforting so needed.
'You don't need to, just stay here with them please. I really need to go'

I nod as she smiles and walks past me, out of the apartment and to somewhere unknown to me. But I have a feeling that I should have gone with her, some thing In me is telling that this is bad

I plonk myself onto the couch as I await her arrival from wherever she had ran to.

My mind goes through everything Jax has said to me, my mind tells me that all I went is her in bed, so I can move on to another. All I want is to sleep with girls for my pleasure and move on. No complications to be had

But there's something in me that looks forward to seeing her, texting her, calling her even thinking of her. I want to spend time with her, to know her on a level that no one else can comprehend. Her body, her eyes, her lips, her hair, her everything gets me on the edge, gets me wanting to be near her to hold her, to care for her. And it is something unusual to me, something I have never felt before. I've never felt protective or jealous over someone before but I can't even stand the thought of someone touching her or looking at her.

I get cut of on my thoughts when I hear someone clear their throat, looking up I see Zac standing by the sofa opposite me.

'You okay bud?' I shock myself from actually caring how he is, I haven't known him long but I feel responsible
'can I sit with you?'

'You don't have to ask, it's your apartment, how you feeling? How's the arm?'
He looks down at the now clean slash
'Kenz took care of it and I'm alright just I don't know. That hasn't happened in so long.... It freaked me out seeing that'

'What happened? How did you cut your arm?'
'Oh er.... Emily she use to have nightmares, she becomes scared and lashes out in her sleep. She fell asleep on the couch and I heard her scream. I was stupid, I ran in here holding the knife as I was preparing food. She flipped her arm and it slashed mine. I was an idiot to think I could calm her down. Mckenzie is normally the only one who can'

I take in his words. Nightmares? What could be so bad? What could have happened to her? Why is it Mckenzie can only ever calm her down?

'What are the nightmares about? And why is Mackenzie the only one who can calm her?'

'Okay erm... We've never told anyone this. 4 years ago Kenz had come home late one night from a party she had gone to. It was just her, Emily, our parents and their friends at home. The rest of us were off out somewhere. Kenz wasn't even meant to be home'

He takes a deep breath as if to prepare himself to reveal what happened. I sit quickly just listening to what he has to say

'When Kenz got home, she found everyone drinking in the living room. But she couldn't find Emily. She went looking, Mckenzie protects us like we are her everything, Emily being the youngest she instantly got worried with her disappearance

She got upstairs when she had a soft cry and shout. Mckenzie walked to what was her room to find Emily being pinned down by one of our parents friends. He held her down and was undoing his jeans. Emily was thrashing, crying. Begging. He just said 'you deserve this. Your hated. You deserve this'

Mckenzie, she saw red. She attacked him and yanked the man from Emily. But Mckenzie wasn't storing enough. She made Emily go downstairs to get help. As she tried to keep the man occupied. The man threw Mckenzie into multiple walls, a mirror and to the floor. But still she wouldn't let him from the room

Eventually Mckenzie couldn't take the battering and ran down the stairs. To our father, he blamed them for it. Said they probably deserved it. Mckenzie grabbed Emily and took her from the house. They didn't return for a week. We found out that they were both in hospital. Emily had a broken rip. But Mckenzie she- she had a concussion so bad, cuts and bruises all over her body. She could barely move

Do you know what pisses me off the most? Is that there were people there but they were to high up each other's asses to help. I wasn't there to help. I-I had an argument with Kenzie that day and refused to answer her calls. If I had I could have been at home, I could have helped, but I wasn't'

I have nothing I could say. Hearing that. My anger boils at the image of someone hurting Emily and then attacking Mckenzie like that. I feel disgusted in them. My body is tense, my jaw clenching as well as my fists, but as I look at Zac I know he need me to speak

'Zac, what happened wasn't your fault. In no way could you have stopped what happened. It's not your fault you had an argument with your sister, it isn't you fault you wasn't there and it wasn't your fault because no one knew that would happen. And it isn't you fault Emily had or has nightmares'

'I gue-' he gets cut off by the door shutting, as he look over to Mckenzie stood there breathing heavy and looking at us. But that wasn't what I noticed what I noticed was the bruise and cut on her beautiful angelic face

'What happened? Who done this?' I stand to my feet and pull her to sit down on the couch before I kneel before her
'Its fine'

'You went to dad didn't you? Mckenzie what have I told you about going there'
'He is no father of mine. It doesn't matter okay'

She goes to stand up but I push her back down 'NO. You will fucking tell me who done this and what the fuck happened?' I shout, Zac jumps slightly but Mckenzie doesn't budge she just dips her head and nods. She wasn't scared just tired,upset and hurt but she needed to tell me.
