Secrets along the way

Chapter 4

Johnnies pov

As we walk in kitten stays hidden behind me and soon spots max and gets happy but that's short term when some cheerleader tripped her and she fell into my arm I help her up and then take her hand and glare at the cheer leader and walk her back to the two empty seats in the back by max

Kittens pov

"Hi kitten" he says excitedly

"Hi" I groan

"Babe she doesn't love me anymore" Max giggles to his girlfriend

"Shush your face Max" I chuckle

"But my face doesn't want to shush" he whisper yells as the teacher comes in

"Max be quiet or you're getting detention" the teacher says

"Yes mr.rams" he sighs

"I was talking to " I glare

my step father smirks I sink down in my spot and all the kids laugh if only they knew what happens when I go home

"Kitty you okay" johnnie asks

"Yea" I fake a smile and johnnie leans over

"I know you are lying " he whispers in my ear I sigh and nod

Soon class is over and johnnie stands up and takes my hand again which I don't understand but at the same time I don't mind I grab the envelope off my desk assigned to me and johnnie looks curious but doesn't ask we slowly walk out trying not to get sucked in to what the popular people are saying about us and finally make our way out in the hall

"Um I need something from my locker" I lie

"Okay I'll meet you in the cafeteria?" He asks

"Sure" I reply letting go of his hand and running off towards my locker

When I get to my locker I open the letter and read what it says

"Dear kitten
Meet us outside under the bleachers or your gonna pay"

I rip apart the paper and crumple it all up and run outside crying

Johnnies pov

Kitten didn't show up at lunch or our next class so I took free period to look for her I found her under the bleachers some guys were cornering her so I snuck up being them and hit them
In the head with a pole I picked up near by they were knocked out or at least buzzed for a minute so I took my time to check over kitten her walking dead shirt was all ripped so I gave her my flannel but I also noticed some new and old scars and bruises and burns and it was terrible I just wanted to hug her and make it better but I picked her up and walked her to the nurses office I got a lot of stares but I didn't care

"Nurse I need help" I say as soon as I get in there

"Lay her down on. The table and tell me what happened "

"Well I went to find her and some guys were cornering her and she was passed out so I snuck up and hit them
With a pole then I checked her over and her shirt was ripped up so I gave her my flannel and carried her here " I gasp out

"She's gonna be fine she just hit her head slightly and it knocked her out as soon as she wakes up you can take her home or you can take her now I do t mind just take care of her " she sighs

"I'll take her now thanks" I say picking up kitten and heading towards maxs last class

There is five minutes left but I need him now so I knock on the door when the door opened I'm met with the face of mr.browns

"Hi sir if you don't mind I'm in a bit of a jam and need Max " I plead

"Max go ahead and help the boy and bring your assessment tomorrow " he sighs

"Thanks sir" I say

After that me and max took her to my place and I laid her down in my room and then went back down stairs to see Payton poking maxs cheek

"Pay what're you doing" I chuckle

"He's a meanie he stole my brownie" she hisses

"Oh really now Max why'd you steal her brownie"I ask fake glaring

"I didn't" he lies smiling showing the brownie he stuffed in his mouth

"LIAR" Payton yells

"Shhh shhhh be quiet I'll make More and I'll make it into brownie Sunday's okay" I say already preheating the oven

"Yayyyyy dank chu Dadd-bubby "she giggles hugging my leg

Max laughs and then looks around

"Nice place but I have a question who watches Payton when you're gone " he asks

"Oh I have a babysitter for her " I sigh

"But where are your parents "He asks

"Dad died right before she was born " pointing at Payton "and moms at work From 5 am to 1 am Monday through Friday " I explain

"Oh I'm sorry man" he says

"It's cool I love her she's a little princess" I say holding her

"You should adopt her I mean I bet you see her more than your mom and you care a lot about her plus you basically raise her " he says

"Yea maybe one day" I sigh

"She tried to call you daddy" a small voice says from the stairs I look over and there's kitten in my flannel she looks tired but she's still beautiful as ever

"I-I -I um she is I guess " I say hanging my head

"What do you mean " Max asks

"I got a girl pregnant when I was 14...and she died giving birth my mom took the kid in because I wasn't ready to be a dad but honestly mom was never here so I raised her anyway and she's mine legally....." I sigh letting a tear slip thinking about Bailey (the mother)

Suddenly I'm Being hugged by two people I see its kitten and Payton and I hug both of them

"I'm sorry " kitten whispers hugging me tighter

"It's fine " I whispers playing with her hair
