Chapter Nine

"Can we talk?"

Kendall opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. Once again, he could feel Jo's touch on his arm, and now his shoulder burned from her venomous touch too. When her fingers coiled around his wrist, Kendall couldn't help but jerk away. "Please, I really need to talk to you." Jo pleaded. Kendall sighed and nodded his head, and a soft smile crossed Jo's face. She guided Kendall out of the lobby and out the building, until they were hidden away in a secluded ally.

"I really don't know where to begin…" Jo began, running her fingers through her blonde hair. Kendall let out a scuff, attracting the girl's attention. "How about the fact you cheated on me with Jett." Kendall sneered.

"I guess I could start there." Jo sighed. "I really don't know how the whole relationship began. It wasn't really even a relationship between Jett and I. More like a friends with benefits kind of thing. But I felt bad about it, I really did. I just couldn't stop it. You make me feel protected, loved. Jett just shows me the wild side in life, and I wanted to experience that." Jo let out a sniffle, collapsing against the wall behind her. "I was wrong to want that. Jett, he's nothing like you. I told him yesterday I wanted out. And…he hit me Kendall. Jett smacked me around and all I could think about is how you would never hit me and you would have protected me." Jo fell forward into Kendall's arms, and he just held the girl as she sobbed.

"Where did Jett hit you?" Kendall asked. Jo pulled away, and rolled up the sleeve of her shirt, revealing bruises up and down her arms. She yanked at the collar of her shirt, revealing a deep purple bruise on her collar bone. "It hurts so much." Jo whispered, silent tears rolling down her faces. "I was so scared."

"Has he hit you anymore?" Kendall asked, his voice deep as he examined Jo's arm. Jo shook her head back and forth, and Kendall ran his fingers through his hair. "We have to go to the police." He declared. He spun on his heel to march off towards the police station, but then he feels Jo's wrapped around his wrist. "You can't say anything!" She pleaded. Kendall turned back around, watching as Jo's eyes watered up. "Promise me you won't say anything Kendall!"

"I promise." Kendall whispered through clenched teeth.

"Can you forgive me?" Jo asked, releasing Kendall and pulling down the sleeve of her shirt. "Can you forgive me for being a screw up?"

"I forgive you." Kendall replied. And then the next thing he knew, his and Jo's lips met and they were kissing, the mistakes of the past behind them. And as Kendall's arms snaked around Jo's waist, he couldn't help but feel complete again.


The next morning, when Kendall woke up, he felt better than he had in a long time. He stretched, and let out a giant yawn. Once he was out of bed, Kendall made his way to the kitchen, rubbing at the back of his head. When he entered the kitchen, Kendall realized the morning routine was going to be a little different today.

James, Carlos, and Logan were all up, sitting at the kitchen table, and none of them looked happy. Kendall's laptop sat in the middle of the table, closed. "Why did you steal my laptop?" Kendall questioned as he joined the others at the table.

"Logan hacked into your internet files for us." James said, opening the laptop. "Want to tell us why in the world you searched suicide?" James slid the laptop towards Kendall, and sure enough, on the screen, was the web results for what Kendall searched the previous day. Kendall's jaw dropped as he looked at the screen before looking up at his angry friends. "I don't know what to say." Kendall said, shutting the laptop.

"You don't know what to say?" James asked slowly. "Tell us why you searched suicide!"

"I don't know why." Kendall replied. A pair of fists slammed down on the laptop, and he watched as James jumped out of his seat, nostrils flaring in angry. "Of course of you know why you searched suicide, because you're this is your laptop and you searched it!" James screamed. Logan placed a hand on James's arm, and the tall brunette slowly lowered himself back into his chair. Carlos looked away, not even wanting to know the answer to James's question. Logan took a deep breathe before speaking. "Kendall, you aren't thinking about…you know." Logan trailed off, biting his lip. "We can help you. Suicide is never the answer. You know that."

"The thought came across my mind one time." Kendall lied, but the looks on his friends faces showed they were buying into his answer. "And that's when I searched it. But I promise you I would have never gone through with it. The thought was merely on my mind, and I searched it. I'm sorry for making you guys think that."

"I told you guys were crazy for thinking this!" Carlos said. "Kendall would never do anything stupid like that. He only does stupid things with us!"

Everybody laughed, and right away the mood in the room lifted. It was a phone call that sent a surge of panic through the room. "Kelly wants me to go to the studio." Kendall said as he hung up the phone. "Just me."

"Maybe Gustavo wants to record solo parts." James suggested. "Have fun. Hopefully you don't get your head eaten off by him."

"Aren't you funny?" Kendall smirked as he disappeared around the corner, ready to see what Gustavo wanted.


"Kendall." Gustavo greeted as Kendall entered his office. Kendall smiled as he sat down and sat, "Am I not good enough to get called a dog?"

"Kendall, we need to talk about something serious." Gustavo said, spinning his computer towards. Kendall leaned closer, and looked at what was on Gustavo screen. When his mind finally processed what the headline said, he let out a gasp.

Big Time Rush's Kendall Knight… A Hottie, Sweetheart, and an Abuser?

Is Kendall Knight, of Big Time Rush, really the Knight in shining armor we all thought he is? When we all see those beautiful green eyes on television or in the news, we think, 'Wow, he must be such a nice guy.'

Jo Taylor knows what really lies behind those green eyes.

Yesterday, Miss Taylor, of New Town High fame, was spotting sporting several bruises on her arms and her collar bone. When approached where she had gotten the bruises, Miss Taylor broke down and revealed her boyfriend, Kendall Knight, had hit her the day before. It is still unknown whether Miss Taylor will press charges against Mr. Knight, but it's pretty clear to all of America what she should do.

No word from Kendall Knight yet on the incident, but stay tuned here at CelebCrush for updates on this heartbreaking story.

"It was Jett!" Kendall exclaimed. He jumped out of his chair and pointed at the picture of Jo's bruises. "Jo told me Jett did that to her! Gustavo, you have to believe me. I would never hit Jo!"

"Kendall, I know you would never hurt Jo." Gustavo sighed, removing his glasses. "But the press doesn't know the truth, and trust me, we are going to sort this mess out. But until then, you have to stay out of the spotlight and away from the press. That's why you're suspended from the band till further notice."
