 Kassidy Pov

I stood in front of the full length mirror on Killian's closet door looking at the slight bruising on my face. My hands had protected my face mostly so it wasn't too bad, I did have a black eye and a busted lip. My arms had fingerprint bruises all over them from Dylan grabbing me but the one I was most hesitant to look at was under my shirt. I slowly lifted the shirt, my lip trembled and my eyes welled at the massive bruising on my back and side from him kicking me.

"Kassi, breakfast is re-Bloody hell!" Liam gasped as he stood in the doorway, I quickly put my shirt back down trying to hide my tears, I didn't know why, he already saw. He approached me slowly.
"Kassi.. Love what happened to you last night?" Liam asked. I shook my head. "Its.. its nothing. Really." I said, trying to play it off but my voice was shaking, and even though I was trying to will the tears to stop they wouldn't. "That is not nothing. You don't have to be afraid Kass. Just tell me." "I.. I made him mad." I didn't understand why I was still blaming myself for Dylans actions. Why was I still defending this monster?

"Did Dylan do this to you?" Liam asked lifting my shirt in the back a little wincing at the bruises. "He told me stay away from Killian. I didn't and it made him mad, but he told me he wouldn't do it again because he loved me." I said as the tears were flowing so fast out of my eyes I couldn't see, my words were running together and spilling out of my mouth like a damn trainwreck. "He said he loved me." I repeated. Liam pulled me in for a hug, taking care not to squeeze and hurt me and he just held me there while I cried. "Don't worry Kassi. We'll take care of it. I promise." "Wh..what are you going to do?" I asked. "Nothing Illegal love don't worry." Liam said and held the back of my head while I cried into his shirt.

Killian walked into the room after taking his shower. Liam looked over at him and sighed heavily. "We all need to talk."

Killian Pov

We sat at the table, it was quiet. Kassidy pushed around the eggs on her plate with her fork and she hadn't even touched the bacon and usually when Kass would stay over and Liam would make breakfast, no one else would get bacon because Kassidy ate it. "So, I'm going to say it and I know you aren't going to agree with me, but we need to tell your father what happened." Liam said.

 Kassidy looked up at him. "Why? Why does anyone else need to know? Nearly the whole school knows now.." Liam sighed. "Because, It's the only way something will be done about this." "But.. nothing has to be done. We can just leave it alone.." Kassidy said. "Kass.. there is no just leaving this alone, he could have seriously hurt you and I still think you need to get checked out to make sure he didn't break anything." I said. Kassidy shook her head. "I'm fine.." She said quietly. Before I could stop it my fist hit the table and I was yelling. "You are not bloody fine!"

Kassidy nearly jumped out of her chair. "Easy Killian!" Liam scolded me. "Kass.. I'm..sorry I didn't mean to yell." I said. Kassidy stood up. "Why are you apologizing? Why do you guys keep looking at me like I'm fucking broken?!" Kassidy demanded. "We didn't mean to." Liam said trying to to calm her down. "You've..had a rough night." "A rough night?" Kassidy scoffed. "My boyfriend kicked the living shit out of me, I'd say that's more than just a rough night." "We are trying to help." I said softly. "I don't need help! I just need it to go away!" Kassidy shouted and walked outside.
I sighed. "I'll go make sure she doesn't do anything stupid." I mumbled and stood up following Kassidy outside. Kassidy was sitting on the porch smoking a cigarette. I sat down next to her. "Can I have one?" I asked. "Yeah. They're yours anyways." She shrugged and handed me the pack. I cocked my head at her. "I took them out of your dresser, I was going to give them back. Calm your eyebrows Jones. You've taken mine too." "True." I smirked. "You know, Liam will kick both of our asses if he sees us right?" I said and lit my cigarette. "I can take him." Kassidy turned her head and smirked at me. There's my girl I sighed.

"I hate to say it, but I agree with Liam, you really need to tell your dad."
Kassidy nodded.

"I know. I..just..why did I let him do this to me Killian? Why didn't I punch his stupid ass in the face?" "Because he manipulates you Kassi, all summer long he played you. He made you think he was this perfect guy and you know half of the football team is all jacked up on steroids and they make people aggressive." Killian explained. "I'm such a fucking idiot.. I should have listened to you." "Its okay Kass." I replied. "No, Its not. It almost ruined our friendship.. Or.. whatever we are now. What..are we now?" She asked. "We are whatever you want us to be." "I think I just need time to sort this shit out in my head.." Kassidy sighed. "Take your time love." I smiled. She leaned against my shoulder. "Thank you Killian." She said. "Anytime." "So.. I guess we need to go tell my dad. You..are coming with me right? You and Liam?" Kassidy asked. "Of course." Liam said from behind us. Both Kassidy and I jumped and tossed our cigarettes. "Oh, like I couldn't smell the cigarette smoke." Liam said and crossed his arms. "I'm not a bloody idiot." "Sorry Liam." Kassidy frowned. "Just..don't do it again. Come on lets go talk with your father, is he at work?" Liam asked. "Yeah, probably." Kassidy replied and stood up brushing herself off.

Kassidy POV

I was totally okay with this, until Liam pulled up at the police station, then I wanted to jump out of the car and run away. I knew my dad was going to want to make this a bigger deal than I wanted it to be, but I also knew that if I didn't say something, that some other girl could end up in my shoes.

"You ready?" Killian asked me. "Yeah." I nodded and got out of the car. Killian got out of the car and linked his arm with mine. "Its going to be okay. I promise." I nodded again and the three of us walked into the police station. David was sitting at the desk in the front looking over case files when we walked in. He looked up. "Hey..Kassi! What happened to you?" He asked and stood from the desk walking over to us. "Is..my dad here Dave?" I asked. David was my dads good friend, and he brought me home well after curfew many times, so it didn't surprise me that he was worried when he saw the black eye and the little bruises on my arms. "Yeah, hes here. He's questioning someone, I'll go get him." David said giving me another look of concern before walking off.

Killian must have felt me start to shake. He pulled me closer to him while we waited for my Dad. It wasn't much longer before he came out of one of the back rooms. "Kassidy, I swear to God if this is one of your jok-" He stopped suddenly and looked at Killian, and Liam and then he looked at me. My lip trembled and I tried to hold back tears as his expression softened. He didn't even ask what happened he just walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me hugging me tightly. "Come on, lets go sit down." He said. "Can Killian come?" I asked. "Yes." He nodded "I'll wait out here for you two." Liam said and squeezed my shoulder before sitting down.
Dad led us back towards an empty questioning room. Killian and I sat down. Dad just paced the floor. "What exactly happened? Why are you covered in bruises?" dad asked. "Don't get mad.. But.. I wasn't just at Killian's last night." "Kassi, I'm not mad. I am too worried to even think about being mad right now, I just want to know who did this to you." "It.. it was Dylan." I mumbled and looked down. "That kid you've been seeing??" he asked. "Yeah..We went to Gina's party last night.. He told me he didn't want me around Killian and he saw us together at the party and freaked out. He pulled me outside and threw me down and just.. He wouldn't stop hitting me." I said and winced as I relived last night in my head."He told me he wouldn't do it again. I believed him." I sighed. "He did this before??" Dad asked. I nodded. "Once. He slapped me across the face." "Kassidy why didnt you tell me then?" Dad asked leaning against the table. "I could have stopped it before it ever got this far. He wouldn't have ever touched you again!" "I know! I know I just didn't know how to you.." "How bad is it?"

I shook my head. "Not bad.." I lied. Dad raised an eyebrow knowing me all too well and looked at Killian. "How bad is it?" He asked Killian. Kilian looked at me and squeezed my hand. "Show him, Kass its okay." I stood up slowly and lifted my shirt showing my dad the bruises up my side and on my back. "Jesus.." Dad sighed. "I'm taking the rest of the day off." "No.. Dad its oka-""No, this is not okay. I'm taking the day off. I'm taking you to the hospital to get checked out. Killian can come if you want but you are going and its not open for discussion." "What..are you doing about Dylan?" I asked. "I will deal with that tomorrow, today you are my only concern."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

After a couple hours at the hospital, and going back to the station to fill out an official statement, and take photos of my bruises as evidence against Dylan, Killian came back to my house with me.We sat in the living room watching Netflix, Dad was hesitant to let me out of his sight for right now. Mom brought us a plate of snacks. "Thank you Mrs. Cole." Killian smiled. "Anytime." Mom smiled. "You okay Kassi?" She asked me. I nodded and leaned against Killians shoulder. "Fine, mom." I said. She raised a skeptical eyebrow at me and walked back into the kitchen
"Are you really okay?" Killian asked. I nodded. "Kass.." He said. "No." I sighed. "Every time I'm alone for just a second, Or If I have just a minute to think, All I can see his his face, and how angry he was.. And I can still feel him hitting me." I shuddered and snuggled closer to Killian. We had always been close so this wasn't uncomfortable for either of us, even with our possible romantic future hanging over our heads. "He'll never do it again Kass, I swear." Killian vowed. "Why don't you rest a little?" He asked. "Stay with me?" I asked. "Aye." He nodded and pat his lap. I curled up on the couch and laid my head in his lap while we watched netflix and then I said something, something I had never said before. Something that I am glad I never said back to Dylan because he never deserved it. "Killian?" I yawned. "Yes?" He asked smoothing over my hair with his hand. "I love you." I mumbled before closing my eyes.
