So thank you for the positive reviews
"Where are you? Come out here you little shit or I'll kick your ass." Matthew said. Nine year old Kendall Knight was frantically trying to hide from his father. He ran into his room and hid under his bed. Matthew was drunk, he smelled heavily of alcohol.
"Get out here you worthless shit," Mat demanded Kendall remained hidden. Matt dragged Kendall out from under the bed.
"Don't ever hide from me," Matt screamed
"I-I'm s-sorry daddy," Kendall cried. Matt punched Kendall in the face
"Kendall wake up," Logan whispered
"Hmm," Kendall said
"You were having a nightmare," Logan said
"It felt so real," Kendall cried
"I know little brother I'm so sorry he did that to you," Logan said
"It's ok," Kendall whispered. Logan knew Kendall was terrified of his father. Logan knew the guys wont let anything happen to Kendall.
…
"Mr. Bitters I know you let Matthew Knight stay here just tell us the room number," Mrs. Knight said along with Camille, Jo, James, and Carlos.
"I can't tell you," Mr. Bitters said.
"Why not," James said
"You don't have a reason for me to tell you," Mr. Bitters retorted
"Yes we do Mr. Knight is abusive around Kendall. Logan, James, Katie and I vowed to protect him no matter what," Carlos said
"Oh in that case he's in apartment 4G," Mr. Bitters said
"You did well Bitters," Mrs. Knight said
"Thanks," Mr. Bitters said
…
"Matt I know you're in there open up," Mrs. Knight yelled
"Jen what do you want?" Matt asked
"You to leave my son alone," Mrs. Knight said
"No, I sobered up and I'm not like I was," Matt said
"Then why is Kendall having nightmares about you," Logan said behind Mrs. Knight
"WHAT!" Matthew said
"Yeah because of you," Logan said
"See Matthew you should have just left him alone," Jennifer said with a smirk on her face.
"I'm not leaving without seeing Kendall," Matt said
"Fine but then you'll be staying a long time," Mrs. Knight said.
…
Kendall was still shaken up from that nightmare. Kendall sat in the corner of his room. His knees up to his chest rocking back and forth.
"Kendall it's ok I'm right here," Logan cooed
"He's gonna hurt me again," Kendall complained
"He won't hurt you," Logan said
"He'll find a way," Kendall said looking down at his feet. Logan grabbed Kendall's chin so that he was looking directly in Logan's eyes.
"He will never lay a hand on you little brother I promise," Logan said
"Promise?" Kendall asked
"Yes Kendall I promise," Logan said. It killed Logan to see Kendall like this. He dreaded that Matthew did this to him. He can't stand to see Kendall in so much emotional pain. Kendall Knight didn't deserve the shit he got from his dad.
"Hey big brother," Katie said
"Hey baby sister," Kendall said
"Daddy wont hurt you ever again," Katie said
"Thanks baby sis," Kendall smiled
Gustavo called the guys into the studio that day to "talk".
"Dogs!" Gustavo yelled. Kendall broke down into tears because Matthew would yell at Kendall
"What's with him?" Kelly asked
"His dad is back. Gustavo by yelling you remind him of what Mr. Knight did to him. Mr. Knight has abused Kendall when we were younger," James said a little annoyed
"Oh," Kelly slapped Gustavo in the head with her clipboard
"Ow, what was that for?" Gustavo asked
"For yelling when there's no need too and poor Kendall called ahead asking you not to," Kelly explained "Kendall sweetie why don't you sit down,"
"O-ok," Kendall cried. Kendall sat down silently crying. Logan didn't want Kendall to cry
"Hey Ken don't worry you're gonna be just fine," Logan said
"James, why is Kendall like this?" Carlos asks
"Remember how he used to run to our houses right after his dad did something to him?" James questioned
"Yeah," Carlos replied
"Well that's the thing he's having flashbacks about those times," James explained
"Oh," Carlos finally got it. Gustavo and Kelly heard the whole thing.
"James what's Kendall's dad's full name?" Kelly questioned
"Matthew Knight," Kendall answered
"Oh ok guys I'm sorry Kendall you guys only have 30 minutes of harmonizes and dance practice.
"Thanks," Kendall mumbled
"Kendall you're gonna be fine I promise you that," Logan said
"I know it's just seeing him is like seeing a dog get kicked over to many times," Kendall said
"I don't know what to say I can only say he wont get away with it he will pay," James said.
…
On the way back the guys formed a secret service circle around Kendall. They got back to 2J
"Hey sweetheart," Matt said as the boys walked in
"Go away Matthew," Mrs. Knight said
"No, Jen I told you," Matthew said
"You know dad you say you want to make it right, I really don't want see you," Kendall said. Matt hit Kendall in the face. Kendall hit Matt. Matt punched Kendall. Mat had rings on his fist. James and Carlos punched Matt. Katie stomped on Matthew's foot. Matt doubled over in pain and Carlos kicked Matt in the back. Logan was tending to Kendall's now open scare.
"GET OUT MATTHEW!" Mrs. Knight yelled. Matt stormed out of the apartment.
"Oh sweetie are you ok," Jen said now at Kendall's side
"No, he punched really hard," Kendall whimpered
"You'll be ok," Logan said. Kendall just cried into Logan's chest. Mrs. Knight was angry. She has seen her son get abused for years. She finally has had enough.
"Keep Kendall calm," Mrs. Knight instructed
"Ok," Logan squeaked. Mrs. Knight left to call Brooke Diamond, Sylvia and Antonio Garcia, and Joanna Mitchell. When Jenifer returned. She went to Kendall, he was still crying but mostly muffled sobs.
"Hey baby I'm so sorry, he is a jerk," Mrs. Knight cooed
"Mama w-w-wh-h-y-y me," Kendall cried
"I don't know sweetheart," Mrs. Knight said. The boys just watched in awe. They hated seeing Kendall upset.
