A/N: I can't believe that this story is almost over and that I have been writing so much in the past few days. I really just want to say thank you for all of my readers. Whether you review or not I am glad you read and like my story. Now last chapter's author note was talking about a sequel and I am leaving that up to you guys. If you want me to write a sequel once this story is over I will. So, about this chapter I have a feeling that you guys are going to stay or become mad at me. So in this chapter you are going to learn a lot about Kadin. This chapter is also REALLY sad. You are all warned. Anyways, read the chapter.
Chapter Fifteen: Going Down
Flashback:
Kadin and 6 year old Kendall were sitting in the dining room in their house building a birdhouse. The old one in the yard had broken and Kendall had cried and asked his daddy if they could build a new one. Kadin had agreed to this due to the fact that he hated to see his son so sad. Kendall was his pride and joy and Kadin would do anything to make his son happy.
"Daddy can we make it green?" Kadin chuckled at this.
"Of course we can. Why not blue, I thought that was your favorite color?"
"Yeah but we both have green eyes." Kendall said looking up at Kadin with his green eyes.
"That we do. We also have a lot more things in common."
"Like what, daddy?" Kendall asked being a curious little boy.
"You'll learn when you get older." Kendall scoffed at this. "You wouldn't understand if I told you now."
"Yes I would! I'm a good listener daddy. Even Ms. Hailey thinks so." Kadin chuckled at this.
"I promise to tell you when you get older"
End Flashback
That was playing over and over in Kendall's mind. Kendall had the card in front of him that Kadin had the male nurse give him. Written on it was something about the two of them being similar. Kendall had learned a couple of ways that his father and he were similar besides their eye color. First there were the anger issues. Kadin and Kendall were also natural born leaders.
Kendall thought more about the years before Kendall was abused. His father was always so loving, like the time Kendall had his first heartbreak.
Flashback:
Kendall was sitting up in his room crying into his knees. He was a 7 year old who had just suffered from his first heartbreak. Jennifer had told Kadin about all the information she knew but Jennifer knew that Kendall wanted to talk to his father. Kendall was a daddy's boy. Kendall had stopped crying for a second when he heard a knock on the door.
"Kendall, are you alright in there?" Kadin asked through Kendall's door.
"No daddy." Kendall cried.
"Do you want me to come in there so we can talk about it?"
"Yes" Kendall said softly, just loud enough so Kadin could hear it. Kadin then opened up the door and walked in and sat on Kendall's bed next to the crying boy.
"Alright, tell daddy all about it." Kendall took a deep breath.
"Leah broke up with me." Kendall said looking at the blanket on his bed.
"Why would she do that? Doesn't she know that you are the best boy she will ever have?"
"Obviously not" Kendall whispered and Kadin had to bite back a laugh. "She broke up with me because I lost at tether ball. She is now with Nathan."
"Well, she sounds like a jerk."
"She is daddy. A big one." Kadin chuckled at this.
"Well good thing I know what cures heartbreaks." Kendall's eyes lit up. "How about you and I go down to the ice rink and go skating." Kendall nodded his head. The tears had stopped and he jumped up and hugged his dad.
"You're the best daddy ever!"
End Flashback
Kendall didn't know how that could turn into what was going on now. Kendall was sure that his father was planning on killing him, and at this point Kendall would gladly accept that as long as Kadin died with him. Thinking of what to tell his family if he didn't come back really confused him. How could he say goodbye to everybody after what's been going on? Logan hated him; he didn't know what to think about his mother. Katie had every right to hate him even if she didn't know why.
Sighing, Kendall pulled out a few pieces of paper. He decided that he was going to leave one last note before leaving and preparing to face his father. Kendall would be lying if he said he was scared. Kendall wasn't scared anymore; he just wanted all of this to end.
Mother, Katie, Logan and to all of my other loved ones, this note is for you. I bet you are wondering where I am, and if you find this note I want you to know that I am in a better place. I have decided to finally stand up to dad. I am done having me hurt the ones I love. I also think that it is finally time for me to tell all of you the entire story.
Dad and I used to be close, but all of you knew that. One day dad caught me looking at something dealing with being gay. It was like a switch flipped inside dad. That was the first day that dad ever laid hands on me. I was ten years old when this happened. He had punched me in the throat, causing me to not be able to breath for a few minutes. Mom, when you asked what happened I told you that I had gotten into a fight at school. By then I was already developing dad's anger issues so that was never questioned. I wish I had told the truth because then we would not be in the situation we are currently in.
As the years passed dad continued to beat me until the day that mom saw him. A couple of months later dad was thrown in jail and I finally felt safe. It was that year when I really fell in love with Logan. Logan if you are reading this I really am sorry for all of the pain that I have caused you. You didn't deserve any of it and you deserve someone who wouldn't hurt you. I really hope that you find that person. Throughout the years Logan and I got even closer and I was finally going to tell him how I felt when he ended our friendship. Out of all the pain I have suffered in my life that was the second worst thing. The first was when I broke up with him.
Even though life continued dad's prison sentence finally came to an end and that was when everything went to hell. At first it wasn't so bad, just what I had suffered with years ago. Dad then started to go after the people I love and that was when it really started to get out of control. The other day dad kidnapped Katie and told me if I wanted to get her back safely that I needed to break up with Logan. I should have taken Katie's place and let dad kill me like he's wanted to do for years now. Logan and I ended up doing something that dad didn't like and that is why he shot Katie in the leg. Katie, just know that I am so sorry. It was because of me that you had a bullet in the leg.
I had received the next thing dad wanted me to do at the hospital yesterday. He said that I needed to lash out on anybody who made me mad. I never wanted to push you mom, but I had to otherwise dad would have killed a ton of people. I couldn't let him do it, I just couldn't. When I punched Logan, though, it wasn't because dad told me to do it. I hated myself and dad and I let the anger take over just like he wanted to do it. It was right after that when I had enough and that is why I am writing this note to all of you.
If you have ever been a part of my life please know that I died to keep you all safe and away from the monster I call my father. I love all of you guys and I know all of you guys will have a better life without me so please don't mourn over me. I am also doing this that way if I die Kadin Knight can be locked away forever.
Goodbye all,
Kendall Donald Knight
Kendall took a deep breath trying to stop himself from crying. This was all extremely emotional but it all needed to be said. Kendall set the letter on his pillow and he was about to leave when he received a text. Kendall already knew who it was from, he was just curious to what his father had to say.
Throw the letter away and pack a bag full of your clothes. Kendall was freaked out when he read that text. How on earth did his father know that he had written the letter? Kendall had destroyed the chip and not to mention he didn't say anything out loud. That means that his father must have seen him. Something clicked inside Kendall's mind. Kendall then went to his vent in the top corner of his room and saw a camera hidden there.
"You son of a bitch." Kendall said before running to get a screw driver out of his desk drawer. He then got the cover of the vent off and pulled out a tiny black camera. "This ends tonight, no more spying. You want me to pack my bag, fine I will but I am not getting rid of that note. You are done telling me what to do" Kendall the smashed the camera.
Kendall needed to do one last thing before he packed his bag and left his house for possibly forever. Kendall picked up his phone and dialed Logan's number. It kept ringing and Kendall had prayed that Logan would actually answer his phone. After a minute Logan actually answered.
"What do you want Kendall?" Kendall knew that Logan was mad but felt a sick feeling in his stomach when Logan talked to him like that.
"I need to tell you three things. This is really important. The first thing being have your father check every single vent in your house."
"Why?"
"Because Kadin had a collection of hidden cameras. He's been watching us for months now." Kendall knew that Logan would be freaking out a little bit from this.
"I'll get right on that. First tell me the other two things."
"I am so sorry for everything and I love you." Kendall knew that this should have been said in person but Kendall knew that he wouldn't be able say it and still be able to stop Kadin tonight.
"You should be sorry Kendall! Do you have any idea what you put me through?"
"No I don't and I should suffer for what I did to you. Look the last thing I need to tell you is, if you don't see me in school tomorrow I need you to take care of my mom and Katie for me." Logan was confused by this but by the sounds of it Kendall was making it sound like he was going to kill himself.
"Kendall, I'm coming over there to talk about this with you."
"By the time you get here I will already be gone. Just promise me Logan." Kendall and Logan were now having tears run down their cheeks.
"No, Kendall. You don't have to do this. Suicide is never the right choice,"
"I'm not committing suicide Logan, but I might be murdered tonight. Now please promise me." Kendall didn't know it but Logan was already in his car driving to Kendall's house.
"No, you can't die. Kendall I love you so much I can't lose you." Kendall hung up the phone. He needed to stay strong. He quickly got a duffle bag and filled it full of his things. Kendall then ran down the steps and out to his car. It was almost midnight and Kendall already figured that Kadin was already at the park. It only took a minute to reach the park. When he got out of his car a van full of men jumped out. The person who was in the driver's seat was Kadin Knight.
"You didn't think I'd come here alone, did you?" Kadin chuckled at his own words. "I'm not stupid Kendall, unlike you are."
"I'm not as stupid as I may seem" Kadin didn't know it but he had called Lucas Mitchell and told him to listen to everything that was going on. He also hid the phone in his pants pocket but made sure that he spoke loud enough for Lucas to hear. Lucas had the police waiting and they would come at the right time to arrest Kadin Knight.
"Well you are my son."
"Before all this shit goes down I want to know one thing." Kadin scoffed. "Why the hell have you been doing this to me? I am your own flesh and blood so why the hell are you torturing me?"
"Because you are my own flesh and blood. I was making you a man and you weren't one until yesterday." Kadin said before walking over to Kendall so that they were face to face. "I was training you."
"Training me, for what?" Kendall was confused by this.
"To become my right hand man. Kendall, you are I are wired the same. That anger inside of you builds up until you explode and I've been trying to get you to explode for years now." Kendall was furious about this. He shoved his father back.
"How dare you? You caused me to lose every important person in my life. One of them being you!" Kendall yelled at his father. Kendall then punched Kadin in the throat like what Kadin did the first time he hit Kendall. "How does that feel?" Kendall moved back when his phone fell out of his pocket. The screen lit up and Kadin saw that Kendall has on the phone with someone.
"Who the hell are you on the phone with? Is it the police?" Kadin the pulled out a gun. "Well, let the police hear this." Kadin was about to pull the trigger when Kendall tackled him to the ground and they wrestled around for the gun.
Lucas, who was still on the other line, was trying to make out what was happening. The only thing that could be heard was the sound of a gunshot, then silence. The call was then ended and Lucas and the police then headed to the park where this all went down.
-Running Back to You-
Logan had reached Kendall's house and cried when he saw that Kendall's car was gone. He noticed that Mrs. Knight was home so hopefully she knew where he went. Logan knocked on the door but didn't get an answer. He knew it wasn't the right thing to do but Logan invited himself inside the house. The downstairs were completely silent and all Logan could hear was the sound of someone sobbing from upstairs.
Logan followed the sobbing sound all the way to Kendall's bedroom. What Logan saw made him cry as well. There was Mrs. Knight sobbing on Kendall's bed holding a few pieces of paper that Logan figures was a note from Kendall. "Mrs. Knight?" Logan asked quietly. "What does it say?"
Jennifer could form words at the moment. She only held the paper out to Logan. Logan took the paper from her and it took him a few minutes to get through all of it but Logan felt sick to his stomach and like he wanted to die. "He's my baby boy. I can't lose him." Jennifer cried.
"Kendall is a fighter I'm sure he found a way to stop Kadin." Logan said but knowing that it was doubtful. Kendall may have been a fighter but so was Kadin. Kendall was also terrified of his father which didn't help the situation. "What do we do?" Jennifer just shook her head not knowing what to do. She had just lost her son and she couldn't take it.
"I need to get back to Katie. Please go and try to find Kendall, whether he is alive or not." Logan nodded his head. He walked out of the Knight house and started his quest to look for the love of his life.
-Running Back to You-
The police had arrived at the crime scene to see nothing. There were no dead bodies around and the only vehicle was Kendall's. The car was also empty which Lucas knew was strange because Kendall said that he was going to keep his stuff in the front seat.
The police looked all around the playground for any clues and the only things they found were a bullet casing and Kendall's cell phone. Lucas picked up the cell phone to see that it was in the middle of a text message. It read: Tell Logan that I love him and that I will come back for him.
A/N: So there it is. Kendall isn't dead, but where is he? I only think that there are going to be two more chapters to this story which actually makes me really sad. Like I said, this chapter was really sad but I hope you enjoyed it even if it had a ton of stuff in it. So please review and let me know what you guys thought about this. Anyways, goodbye until next chapter. (Remember to tell me if you want me to write a sequel)
