Within the next month, Kurt was coming home bruised and beaten every night. Nobody knew why he suddenly started keeping his Holo-Watch on all night, and he wasn't about to tell them he was being attacked by both Pietro and Lance 'cos he was dating Todd.

One evening, when he came in particularly late, Kitty noticed he was limping.

"Are you alright, Kurt?" She asked. Kurt nodded before teleporting to his room. He was just grabbing a towel and some pyjamas when Kitty phased through the door.

"Don't you ever knock!?" Kurt snapped.

"Kurt, I'm worried. This isn't like you. You used to be so light-hearted."

"I said I'm alright!"

"No you're not. Something's wrong. What is it?"

"I don't need you of all people, telling me there's something wrong with me."

"That's not what I meant."

"Well it certainly sounded like it."

Suddenly, the Holo-Watch failed. Kitty gasped, as she saw the cuts, lumps, and bruises. "Who did this to you?" She exclaimed.

"It's none of your business!" Kurt angrily responded.

"But-"

-Bamf- Kitty's sentence was put on hold, as Kurt teleported out of the room.

"Mark my words, Kurt, I'll find out who's been beating you up, even if it kills me." Kitty said, not realising the stupidity in her words.

Wow! This story just seems to keep going, doesn't it? Don't worry though, I have a basic idea of the ending . . . I hope. If you want me to write any other stories, just say so, and I'll see what I can do. . .
