Ludacris ft. Mary J. Blige – Runaway Love
One Direction – Over Again
**Kendra's POV**
**2 Weeks Later**
**Monday Night**
These past two weeks I haven't been staying at Alex's house or Taylor's house, I've been staying under the same roof as Derek and my mother. It's pretty much has been a living hell. I convinced Kylie and Alex that Derek hasn't abuse me or my mom but that was a lie they believed. I haven't seen them ever since the last time I slept at Alex's house which was two weeks ago so they haven't seen my bruises and marks that Derek has left me. I also haven't spoken to Taylor that much lately; things have just been awkward between us ever since she found out Derek beat me.
I pretty much stay in my room all day and waited for my daily abuse from Derek. I want to get my mom and I help but I'm too scared to, what if Derek finds out I'm trying to rat him out to the police again...He'd literally kill me.
I know I should have learned from when this happened last time but it's just so hard.
I try to talk to Kylie over the phone everyday so she thinks I'm fine but today I got my phone taken away from Derek for no reason, so right now I'm just praying that she doesn't call.
Lately I've been sneaking out at night and taken walks because I can't stand to hear the shouts and cries from my mother. I want to help her but I know I can't because I can't even help myself...
"Derek, please not again!" I heard come from down stairs. It's happening it's again... I put on my head phones and blasted my ipod listening the One Direction and Justin Bieber. The cries got louder and louder I could hear them through my head phones. Suddenly I heard my mom yell "NO DON'T GO UP THERE LEAVE KENNY ALONE DEREK!" I know for fact that it was going to be my turn.
I didn't want this beating, I didn't want any of them but this time was different I ran out my room and swerved around Derek before he could catch me. "Where the hell do you think you're going Kendra!?!?" Derek said running after me. I stormed out the front door and bolted down the street. I didn’t know where to go if I go to Alex’s him and Kylie will know about the abuse and I can’t go to Taylor’s because her house is in the other direction…
I went to the park and hid under the tunnel hoping Derek wouldn’t catch me. I laid back and I knew tonight this is where I would be staying.
**Next Morning**
I woke up in the tunnel, wishing last night had been a dream that everything that has happened up till the day Austin left me had been a dream but it wasn’t right now I’m living reality.
I got out from under the tunnel and kids and there moms just stared at me. I walked to the lake and sat on a rock looked at the view. I didn’t know if I should go home or stay the night somewhere else or return under the tunnel.
So I headed to Alex’s house, I hoped a couple of fences because Alex’s house was really far from here. I knocked on Alex’s door and no answered so I started to ring the door bell nonstop. Alex opened up the door and I attacked him in a hug and just cried on his chest.
“Kendra what’s wrong what happened!?” Alex pulled away from my tight grasp and looked at my face, then arms, then legs. His eyes went wide and his mouth dropped. Wish I could have changed into long pants and a sweatshirt but of course I didn’t have time for that so I had to stay in my pjs (shorts and a t-shirt with socks.) “You said he changed and he wasn’t beating you Kendra? Why didn’t tell the truth?”
“I don’t know…” I said looking up to meet Alex’s eyes. More tears fell from my eyes and Alex just wrapped me in his arms.
“What’s going on?” Kylie’s voice said, I looked to my left and her mouth dropped, she ran to me and just hugged me. “You’re not going back there I don’t care what you say! Well get your stuff tomorrow when he’s at work…”
“Okay fine…” The whole day I stayed in the guest room just thinking about everything until my eyes got heavy and fell asleep on the comfy pillow that felt like a cloud.
**Alex’s POV**
**That Night**
“I can’t believe this is happening… AGAIN!” I said.
“I know, I just wish she would have said something so we could have helped earlier. What should we do?” Kylie asked in her soft cute voice.
“Well for now keep you and Kenny away from Derek and later we’ll think of something.” Kylie just nodded her head and laid down I turned off the light and soon we both fell asleep.
Buzz buzz
I felt my head vibrate but then realized my phone was under my pillow. Right now I just wondered who the hell could be texting me right now… I looked at my phone and saw it was from Austin… Of course he would text me so late.
---Text---
Austin: I now this is really random but I need someone to talk to and you were just a text away so now I’m texting you but yeah … I’m not happy, with Meredith and I don’t know what to do… I was thinking stay with her longer and maybe that would change and I would be happy…
I could help but think maybe this is a sign… I might sound crazy but I know it is I just feel it!
Me: No dude if you’re not happy end it now it’s not fair to her or yourself
Austin: Alright thanks I know what I’m going to do!
---
Knowing Austin he’ll probably do the complete opposite then what I told him, he does it all the time. I put my phone down and laid my head back not being able to sleep so I just decided to keek until I felt I was tired.
**Next Morning**
**Kendra’s POV**
Right now Alex, Kylie and I are back at my house to get my stuff. We snuck in to see if Derek was home and checked everywhere and he wasn’t. We got tons of stuff in bags that was necessary to bring and left the things that weren’t important. We brought everything to Alex’s car before I realized I need to get my iphone. Kylie and I ran inside and Alex stayed in the car. We looked EVERYWHERE but couldn’t find it; we were looking for about 25 minutes until Kylie found it in the bathroom in the hamper.
In the car I checked my phone for missed calls or text. I had some missed calls and a couple texts from Taylor and other friend… Including Austin…
I didn’t know if this text was either going to be positive or negative. I opened it and my eyes watered and a smile came across my face.
---Text---
Austin: Hey! Umm I don’t know if it’s too late or not or if you even care anymore but I really miss you and I never stopped thinking of you. I knew I missed you and wanted you back the first day Meredith and I started dating but I thought that would change… But it didn’t. I hope you’re not mad or anything maybe we can start over again and be friends? :)
Me: Do you know how long I’ve waited to see a positive text like this? I would love to start over again!
---
I couldn’t stop smiling I looked like a cheesy weirdo sitting in the back seat of the car. I didn’t know whether to show Kylie and Alex now or later...
“Guys I’m going to read you something let me know what you think after…” I read the text and they started smiling with me…
“That’s so awesome! I’m happy for you guys Kenny!” Kylie said.
“Thanks Ky!”
“I knew you guys would start to talk again!” Alex said pulling up to his house. We unloaded everything from the car and went inside. I basically text Austin all day and we caught up on things but one thing I didn’t tell him about was Derek. I didn’t want to bring drama already.
