The sound of the 5 o' clock am alarm going off makes Kendall groan groggily and slam his hand down on it, hitting the snooze button the first time. He sat up in bed, rubbed his eyes and blinked a few time before actually getting up and making his way towards the closet. He winced with every step from where he had fallen from the couch when Steve's fist came in contact with his face. 'Great' he thought.

Kendall swung upon his closet door heading straight for his work out outfit. After a little bit of a struggle of trying to get the black tank top and grey sweat pants on with the least amount of inflicting pain on his already sore body, he laced up his Nike shoes and was ready for his daily morning run.

Kendall had to pray to God not to wake up his father every time he was about to leave to go run. He managed to slither out his door without any noise and thankfully made it through the front door with just a little squeak. Kendall sighed with relief knowing he was in the 'safe zone'. He took out his iPod and tapped on the song 'The A-Team'. Running was his only way to escape the brutality of his father and well it helps with the pain since it releases endorphins.

*An hour later*

Kendall stopped at the front door making sure to catch his breath before stepping foot inside. A good 3 minute cool down was all he needed and he stealthily walked in. He placed his iPod and keys on the granite top island in the kitchen. He smiled when he saw Jen in the kitchen cooking breakfast. Kendall's only quality time was with his mother in the morning. Since she was a C.E.O she had to leave at 6:30 am and the time she gets home varies ever day. Kendall smiled towards his mother after she placed a plate full of bacon, scrambled eggs, and strawberries in front of him.

"Thanks mom" he said. Sometimes even just these 30 minutes with her made him feel like everything else had slowed down. He was just so grateful towards her and loved her so dearly that he would risk his life for hers.

"No problem sweetie! The bacon is made crispy, the way you like it and tell your father that his breakfast is over near the stove. Sorry I have to leave a little bit early today, my boss has to tell me something, but I love you *kiss* Have a good day at school!" Jen said as she walked out of the door to go to work. Tears were about to fall when he heard the garage door close. 'I love you to mom' Kendall wished he had said but he was to slow, she was already gone. He hated how he was forced to sit 30 minutes with his worst nightmare and he how the minutes felt like hours but when he was with his mother, they went by like seconds! Luckily though, today was a school day which meant he can dash out the door when his father arrived and head over to the bus stop.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the master bedroom door being opened. Kendall gritted his teeth and tried to eat the most of what he could on his plate. Steve arrived in the kitchen walking slowly over to the island. 'My god he looks like shit' Kendall thought to himself. The father's hair was all messy and he had a grey shirt on and was wearing black boxers and he fucking reeked. Avoiding his father, Kendall rushed himself out of the chair and placed his breakfast in the sink and scurried off to the bathroom to take a quick shower before school and before Steve could say or do anything to him.

*15 minutes later*

All the chattering of the high schoolers waiting for the bus made Kendall just keep to himself. He didn't want to deal with anyone. After 5 minutes of isolation, the bus arrived and everyone pilled in, heading straight for the back. Kendall took his normal front of the bus seat by himself and just stared out the window the whole ride. He hated how alone he always was, but he got over it cause his father always told him that he was a no one, and Kendall seemed to believe him. For once, Steve was right. He was snapped out of it and the urge to cry when the bus came to a grueling halt, slamming Kendall into the seat in front of his.

"Ow!" Kendall mumbled under his breath while rubbing his check. He darted out of his seat before anyone else could walk off the bus and sped walked straight to his locker, shoving all of his books and such in it and grabbing his algebra textbook and scurrying to Mrs. Waldrop's class (1). He was the first one in class, as usual, and seated himself in the front so he could pay attention better and so the jocks, Carlos, James, and Jett, don't pick on him like they would normally do if Kendall for some reason had to sit in the back.

"Ah Kendall, I see your eager to learn today aren't you" Mrs. Waldrop said with a small chuckle while stacking papers on her desk "well if you wouldn't mind, will you help me grade these?" she asked.

"Yeah, no problem" He said as he got up and walked over to her desk. Kendall didn't mind helping her. Mrs. Waldrop was actually Kendall's favorite teacher and Kendall was Mrs. Waldrop's favoriate student.

"Thanks" she said with a warm smile "Um Kendall would you be offended if I asked you a question?" she stopped grading and looked at Kendall.

'Oh my God! Does she know I get abused?' Kendall panicked on the inside.

"Ummm, n-no I don't think I would mind…" He said, very un-eased about this whole situation.

"Kendall, do you get bullied here at school? Is that why you always show up to class early every day?" Mrs. Waldrop asked now stopping everything and starred straight into Kendall's green orbs, like she was searching for the answer in his eyes "Causes I'm extremely against bullying and will NOT tolerate it" she finally added.

"Well uh um… Yeah kind of I guess, but please don't tell anyone! Please!" Kendall pleaded, practically grabbing Mrs. Waldrop's wrist for extra sympathy.

"Kendall dear" she said while taking Kendall's hands in hers and her voice dramatically calming him "I would NEVER tell anyone. This is just between you and me and no one else has to know" she smiled at him and rubbed his back, feeling how tense he was.

Kendall sniffled a little "Thanks, I appreciate it"

The bell rang for class to start and Kendall walked back over to his seat and got all of his utensils out ready to learn. His attention was completely focused and luckily the assignment was easy so he got a majority of his homework done in class.

School went by very quickly, no one really bugged him, well besides Carlos "accidently" spilling Kendall's water at lunch, but that was pretty much it .The bus ride was normal. Everything seemed quite normal and quiet today. He was hoping home would be the same way.

When he arrived at his $2 million home, he noticed his mom's black escalade was parked in the garage and ug so was Steve's car. He rolled his eyes at the SUV. He walked into the garage and opened up the door and placed all of his belongings on the floor by the door. It was really quiet and the kitchen light was on, that was a little weird, usually Steve was in the living room watching the news on the huge 50 inch TV and his mom has NEVER been home this early. He walked casually into the kitchen and found his mom and Steve sitting at the island smiling at Kendall.

"Hey sweetie!" Jen said cheerfully.

"Hey Kendall" Steve said with a fake loving voice.

"What's going on? Mom, why are you here from work so early?" Kendall asked very curiously.

"Don't worry babe nothing's wrong" Jen still had a huge smile on her face.

"Well than umm… what's going on?" Kendall asked now really intrigued in his mom's giddy behavior.

"Kendall sit down dear… Me and Steve need to tell you something" she said.

'Oh fuck' Kendall thought.
