there were bruises deep purple and some black covering James body everywhere. Kendall didn't want to wake James up but he had to tell his dad about this he didn't know what to do. Kendall crawled out of the bed and went around in search for his dad. he looked in the living room but he wasn't there so he looked in his room and wasn't there either. he was about to give up and wait until the morning but as he was passing his sisters room he heard him talking to her.

Kendall knocked on the door and heard his sister yell come in. Kendall turned the knob and he went in the room. Kendall seen his dad holding Katie in his arms she probably wasn't handling their mom dead OK. Kendall whispered that he needed to see hie dad when he was done with Katie that it was an emergency.

shane nodded and Kendall left to go back to check James out. when he got in the room he seen James was on the floor crying. Kendall immediately rushed over to him not grabbing him because of the bruises on him. Kendall didn't know how to comfort him without hurting him so he just rubbed his back whispering soothing words in his ears. James was still crying when shane came in the room. shane rushed over to the sight in front of him trying to find what is going on.

shane mouthed whats wrong to Kendall so he mouthed back that he had marks all over his body. James stopped his crying reached slowly and wrapped his arm around Kendall neck. shane asked James what was going and why he had all these marks on his body when he was calm. James didn't answer he just closed his eyes and tried to ignore it. that plan didn't work because Kendall asked this time pushing him back so he could see his red swollen face. James didn't want to tell Kendall or shane that he was getting abused by his parents then he would seem weak for not standing up for himself. James looked at shane then into Kendall's eyes and said that his parents has been abusing him since he was 16. Kendall's heart sank to the bottom of his stomach he couldn't believe his parents would ever want to hurt this loving person.

"what didn't you ever tell me or Kendall about this" shane said

James told him that he didn't want to look weak in front of shane because how am i going to protect Kendall if im weak. Kendall leaned in and kissed James on the cheek.

"i know you are very strong i would never believe you are weak" Kendall said to James in a serious tone.

Kendall looked down at James and pulled him into a hug again not to tight but just enough that he knows he is safe. shane told him that they will never lay a hand on him ever again. shane was beyond pissed James has grown two be a son to him in the last two months. no one was going to hurt him like that ever again if he had anything to do with it. James felt the love he never had in his life even when he was younger they didn't hit him but they were very evil to him.

Kendall lifted him up and brought him back over to the bed so he can lay down and they could both go back to sleep because they had a lot to do tomorrow. James got up and they got back to the bed inch by inch. Kendall was curious as to why James was on the floor when he walked back in because when he left he was in the bed so he asked him.

James told him that the brightness from the lights woke him up and when he did wake up his shirt was open and his pants were pulled up and he knew Kendall seen the bruises and he didn't want to let Kendall see him like that again. shane told him that he would never judge him on anything in this house he was part of the family now even if he didn't marry his son yet. James giggled a little because his ribs were sore. but he really loved this family.

James lifted his head looked at Kendall and held his hand in his.

"Kendall ever since i met you my life has been perfect even when we were not the closest friends you were always on my mind and i did better so you would look at me and now that im with you its been more than perfect. i found the love of my life i met my idol he found out he is even better than i imagined i would always dream for him to be my dad because the man people say is my father was horrible and now my idol loves me like a son and i have a wonderful family i have all this because of you and i love you so much" James said every word being the truth.

shane had already left the room to go back to Katie so it was only Kendall and James there. Kendall had tears in his eyes and wanted so bad to just tackle him and give him a thousand kisses and more. instead he lifted James chin and kissed him passionately until they ran out of breath.

Kendall laid both of them down and they drifted off into a deep sleep happy to be in each others arms.
