He wanted to scream. He just wanted to open his eyes and realize he just had a nightmare. This can't be true. His first thought was 'That's impossible' than the anger hit him and he just wanted to scream til he was hoarse. Then suddenly he felt sick and was just about to trow up, but then he felt...sad.
''dad?"
Flashback:
''kendall!" His dad shouted angry. ''Where are you!" the voice came nearer. Little 7 year old kendall was hiding behind the fridge. 'please don't let him find me! Please don't let him find me!' was all what the young blonde could think about at this moment. Suddenly strong hands grabed his small shoulders roughly. ''Why are you hiding from me?" The mad man asked his already terrified son. ''I-I ..please dad. Please let go of me. I did nothing wrong.'' the boy said almost crying. ''Men don't cry! How often have I already told you this!" he yelled while slapping Kendall. ''ahhhh!" the boy screamed because of the pain. ''Pl-please" Kendall begged trying to control his crying but failed.
It was always the same. Every night since his dad lost his job he went out into a bar just to get drunk and come back to let his anger out off his family! Every night was still at work, because she had to do overtime 'cause of the less money now she was the only one who worked. His little sister, Katie, which was barely a year old was fast asleep in her bed. So the only one to 'punish' for his own fault was kendall.
' 'What Please, huh? WHAT!" the drunk man yelled at his son. ''Dad please let go of me!" Kendall said now with a more powerful voice. ''Why should I ?! Would it give me my job back if I let go of you? NO! Would it make me a better 'man of the house' NO! I'd still be the one who lost his job and let his wife work. I'd still be the one who is sitting at home with a hungry baby and a son which could help. But what are you doing? Nothing!" the man shouted angry. Kendall was shocked. His dad his blaming him! But why? He was only 6! What was he supposed to do?how could he help? How? ''So what would it change if I let go of you? Huh? Tell me!" ''It would make you a better dad" the blonde whispered back. His father stoped for a moment. Looked at his son for a while blinking repeatedly. Thinking about what the boy just said. The his face goes back to angry and he pushed kendall so hard the younge blonde fell on the floor. Whimpering of the suprising action of his father.''Why would you think it would make me a better father? It's already to late! You deserve someone who teach you how to become a good job and nice family. Not someone who blame you for his faults" his dad said. Kendall was suprised at his fathers actions. Normaly he would kick him and hit him until he ran to the bathroom to throw up while Kendall ran to his room to lock the door and cry in his pillow. But this was new. He didn't know how to react so he just stared at his father with wide eyes. ''You're right I'm a horrible father" his dad said still angry but Kendall could her the sadness through it. ''I never said your a horrible dad, daddy" Kendall said trying to help his father. Maybe this man hit and kicked him, but he was still his father and he couldn't hate him, no matter how much he would try. ''No! Don't lie to me! We both know no father should hit his kid like I did! You deserve a better dad. ...But I don't think I could change myself anymore..." the man said kneeing beside his now confused son. '' Wh...What are you trying to say daddy?'' Kendall asked afraid to hear the answer. ''You deserve something I can't give you, Kendall. So I will go and let you live a better life" the man finally said. Kendalls eyes are wide in horror. He don't want his dad to leave him! ''No! Dad what are you talking about? You can't leave!"
but his dad which was still drunk just walked out of the door without looking back to kendall. is he really about to leave all his things and family behind him? Kendall ran after him grabed his leg trying to make him stay, but the man pushed him easily away and made is way to his car. Maybe he shouldn't drive but Mr. Knight didn't care. He just wanted to go away. Begin a new, better life. And let his family live a better life. Without him. But what he didn't knew it just make everything even worse.
Kendall could just watch as his father drove away. He couldn't belive it. His dad was leaving him.'No' kendall told himself. 'he will come back. He would never leave his family. He would never leave me. He wouldn't, right?" But kendall was wrong. The young boy was waiting for hours for his dad to come back. At 11pm. He heared a car. He ran outside in hope his father has changed his mind. But he saw that it was his mothers car. Again, tears welled up in the blonds eyes as his mom made her way out of the car. ''kendall, honey. Why are you still up?" she asked a little angry. She was tired from work and just wanted to relax a little. But when she came nearer to her son and saw the tears in his eyes she stoped. 'Oh god. What happened?' was everything which filled her mind int his moment ''Kendall! Hey bady, what happened?" she asked worried. Kendall didn't know what to say. Even if a dad leave his family it should be a mother to tell her childs and let them understand it wasn't their fault. But this was different. Mrs. Knight didn't knew her husband left and now kendall had to tell her. But how? ''Mommy" he said and hugged as tight as he could she hugged him back but still worried. She knelt down so she could face him. ''kenny" she began softly ''Please baby tell me what happened" she said while wiping away the few tears which had fallen from his eyes. ''I-I...it m-my f-fa-fault.." the blonde sobbed. Mrs. Knights heart broke at this words. ''kenny baby whats your fault?" ''D-daddy" he became out. heart stopped. This couldn't be good. '' Whats with daddy, sweetheart?" Kendall just cried harder ''H-he he i..is ..gone" he bursted outsobbing in his mothers chest. Jeniffer Knightwas shocked. He left? Like...left them all to begin a new life without them? She knew the man was upset because he lost his job and wasn't able to help his family with money..but he was still a father and a husband...so how could he leave?! Jeniffer and him had problems, not only because of the money. If they would have been younger and they would be a couple they would just brake up...but they have two kids, so they have to be there for them. The kids always come first.''Ken-kendall?" she asked carefully. The boy in question looked up at his mother now with tears shining eyes. ''What do you mean when you say...when you say he left?" she asked him. More tears fall from kendalls eyes. ''he left us mom. He's gone. He said we deserve a better life. So he just walked away" Kendall finally said. Now Mrs. Knight also began to cry. She held her son close to her chest while they both cried for almost an hour in the doorframe of the front door.
Finally Mrs. Knight controled her breathing and picked kendall up which had cried himself to sleep. 'This will be a hard time'' she thought.
And she was right.
She had to work a lot. Kendall needed often to stay at home to look after his baby sister because there was no money for a babysitter. Kendall hadn't a lot free time he wasn't able to go out when ever he wanted to play with his friends...he lost a lot of friends. But three boys stayed with him. Three boys helped kendall through the hard time, stayed with him at home to look after his sister and played video games. They were the reason why kendall become ok only after a few months. Of course he hadn't forget what his father did, but he wasn't depressed anymore which his mother was very thankfull for. She saw him laugh again. Which was one of the best things she could imagine. It helped her to recover from the lost too. And even if the next years were hard and they hadn't enough money, they made it.
And when kendall went to school he became a fan of hockey. So he asked his mother if it would be okay if he can go to practise for 2 houres 3 times a week. And after what Kendall had to go through he deserved it more than anything to have fun. allowed him to learn how to play hockey. And when Kendall was old enough he searched for a job to help his mother with the bills...and than Gustavo R. came...
Flashback end-
All the memories of what his father did to him and his family came rushing back to Kendall. He felt the eyes of his best friends, his mother and his baby sister in his back, but he didn't care. All he cared about was the man in front of him. The one man which left when everything became too much for him. He always taught kendall to never give up, always fight. But his father didn't. He gave up. He gave up on himself. He gave up on his family. He gave up on kendall.
''Hey kenny'' his father said. After he realized the blonde was too shocked to say more.
Kendall didn't know how to react, how to handle this unfamiliar situation. Before he could open his mouth to say something (where wouldn't have been coming out much) his phone rang.
From Gustavo:
Hey dog. Bring the dogs and yourself to the studio. Now!
For the first time Kendall was really happy for his annoying producer and his hard practicing.
''Gustavo wants us in the studio'' he mumbled to his friends and stormed out of the room, past at his father.
Now he was the one who was leaving. Without any explanation. He just wanted away.
