A/N:
Hola! I'm updating again! Yay! In the previous chapter, I said that my new story was called 'Empty', well, I changed it, it's called always. Just so you know, on my other story, 'Always', Katie is 11 and Kendall is 16, like in this story. And checkout my also new story; 'The Note'. Anyway, anyone who hadn't read it, read it please! R&R.
So here's the newest update on the story.
Me: Guys?
Silence…
Me: I guess it's they're not back yet. Anyway, enjoy! And I do not own BTR. If I do, I'll add myself into the show.

Chapter 11 – Stay Safe…
"Kendall?"
"Who's this?"
"It's me, Clary."
"Kendall? Who is it?" Katie asked from the couch.
"Clary? Are you okay? Where are you? What did he do to you?" Kendall put his phone on speaker so everyone can hear her.
"Kendall, everything hurts. I don't know where I am. I-"
"Clary? CLARY!"
….
Clary sat on the floor. Her whole body hurt. Derek had beaten her up so badly. He kept asking her where her parent's money were but she never told him. She didn't know, and that made him really mad.
Suddenly, the door burst open and a smirking Derek walked into the room. Clary just looked at him.
"Clary! My favorite niece! Guess what?" he said with fake, no, real, real joy. Clary frowned. Whenever her uncle was glad, it meant that he was planning on something.
"You see, Clary, since you told me that you didn't know where your parents' money is, I have a new idea of taking your parents' money. But, it's not gonna be from the Carlingtons, I'll take the money from the Knights."
Clary's eyes widened. No. "NO! Please! Don't!"
"Why not? Your brother and he's friends are in a band, they're rich, so why not?"
"Because, because…" she trailed off, unsure of what to say.
Derek smirked. He tossed a small phone over to Clary, who immediately caught it before it fell. "What's this for?" she asked.
"Call your brother."
Clary opened her mouth to say something, but quickly closed them again, knowing that if she called her brother, she'd get a chance to talk to him. She dialed the number-she memorized it a few days ago; and held the phone to her ear.
"Kendall?"
"Who's this?"
"It's me, Clary."
"Clary? Are you okay? Where are you? What did he do to you?"
"Kendall, everything hurts. I don't know where I am. I-"
The phone was snatched away from her and she could hear Kendall yelling her name. Derek held the phone to his ear and said, "If it's in speaker mode, turn it off or you'll never see Clary again!" He heard the sound of a click.
"Where is she? What did you do to her?"
"Relax, she's fine, just a few bruises. Now hear me out, go to your room and don't let your family hear you."
He heard the sound of footsteps, and the door shutting.
"I'm alone now. What do you want?!"
"If you want to ever see her again, meet me outside the Palm Woods lobby tonight at 7, alone. Bring anyone else and I'll put a hole in her head."
There was silence before Kendall spoke again,
"Okay. You win. I'll come. Just, please, don't hurt her."
"Deal." Derek smirked and shut the phone.
"You're seeing your brother tonight, Clary." Derek said. Clary's eyes widened and she whimpered. She saw Derek walk out the door and she curled into a ball and started crying.
….
Kendall walked out of his room. "Kendall, was that her? Is she okay?" his mom asked when she saw him.
"Yeah, sh-she said something about b-being back in L.V., she…" Kendall trailed off. He couldn't lie. Not to his mom, not to anyone. So he ran back to his room. He heard everyone else calling his name, but he ignored them. he had to think. He looked at his watch; 06.23. He had to be in front of the Palm Woods in 37 minutes. Why is this happening?
He decided to try and sneak things into his pocket. He took his phone, some cash, and his watch. Then, he took Clary's bracelet. He remembered a day before she was taken that the bracelet was given to her by her mom at her sixth birthday, and that she wears it everywhere. He put it in his pocket and checked the time; 06.33. He decided to get there early, so that he won't be late. He didn't want Clary to get hurt, but then again, he knew she was already hurt.
Was she mad at him? Because he broke his promise? Well, he was going to find out.
He stepped out the door and ran out of the apartment, ignoring everyone who was calling his name. he ran down the stairs since it was faster and before he knew it, he was walking in the lobby. He looked at his watch again; 06. 40.
He walked out and stayed there, looking around. Maybe Derek had already been waiting for him? He didn't know.
He turned his back and looked at the Palm Woods and sighed. He had left his mom, his sister, and his friends in there with no idea of what he was doing. But if he told them, they would either not le him go, or wanna go with him. Suddenly, he felt a hand clamp over his mouth and he struggled.
"Stop struggling or else." A voice said. The voice was oddly familiar, but it can't be. He stopped struggling and turned around. He froze. This was not possible. Why? The person in front of him smirked, "Missed me, Kendall?"
Kendall felt someone else get behind him and he felt his hands being tied. Then the person in front of him laughed. Kendall never expected this. He felt betrayed, lied, and used.
….
Another cliffhanger! Well, sort of. I'm so sorry, but no one got the answer of the previous question correct. Well, one person did but it wasn't really the answer. So, the one who called Kendall was Clary, but Derek was the one who handed her the phone so…
Shoutout to Chey21 for answering the almost correct answer. She answered Derek, well, I could say that if anyone answered either Derek or Clary, you'd be correct.
Next question: Who was the person in front of Kendall who made him feel betrayed?
One of his friends (Either Jo, Camille, Jett, James, Carlos, Logan)
Hawk
Clary
Derek
None of the above
So, you know, winner gets a shoutout.
Me: Are you guys back?
Kendall: Yup.
Me: Phewww, okay, now, I have to go, so, bye! And, don't forget to review!
