I Found You

CHapter 2 Kendall's POV

Chapter 2 - Kendall's POV

I was sitting on my couch, guitar in hand, just playing. Then I heard the doorbell ring and a thump.I opened the door to see a man running away. I quickly looked down to see a girl around 13 laying there - bleeding."Hey!" I screamed, and started running after him. He was too fast. I got back to the girl on my step. I picked her up and brought her inside. "Sweetie, what's your name?" I whisper, stroking here blonde hair. She tried to regain her breath. She opened her mouth to speak - but nothing came out. Her eye were barely open. "I'm gonna take you to the hospital okay?" I whisper again, taking her to the car. I laid her down in the backseat. "Just nod your head if you can hear me." I say desperately. She slowly moved her head up and down. "Good." I let a small smile show.

When I got her to the hospital, she was immidiately helped. Monday isn't a very busy day I guess.I wasn't allowed into the room when they were treating her - I don't even know her, let alone being related. But I do feel drawn to her in some way. When they were done I was let into the room. She was awake. She looked tired and in pain.

"Hey." I say quietly, sitting down next to her. "Hi." she struggled to say. "What's your name?" I ask again. She swallowed hard. "Tessa." her voice was quiet. "I like that name, I'm Kendall." I say, taking her hand. "Where are your parents." I know this is a lot of questions, but I gotta know. "My dad died when I was 7. My mom was at work when her boyfriend beat me." she said bluntly. My eyes widened. Just then the doctor came in. "I dont know what you did, but you have two crcked ribs, and a concussion. Not to mention the huge bruise on your side." he said. "And your parents are on their way." he finished and left.

"That's gonna put a halt to my dancing for now." she's coming around. "You dance?" I ask, just trying to get to know the person I saved. "Yeah, with LADC." she says. Los Angelas Dacne Company. She looks familiar now. The team dance in the Christmas Parade every year here."I've heard of you." I smile at her. Just then the door opens. A tall thin woman with blonde hair walks iin. "Hi mom." Tessa says a little bummed. "Oh, now don't be too happy to see me." her mother replies sarcastically. "Hi, I'm Kendall. And I'm guessing it was your boyfriend who dropped her off at my house like an orphan." anger rises in my voice. "Jax? He said he was at the pffice when you brought her in. I came straight from work. So is he." she said confused. "No he did this to me!" Tessa yells, but starts coughing. I sit back down and hold her hand.

A man walks in - Jax. I know it's him. The way he walks, the guilt hiding in his eye. Yup. I wanna punch him in the face. No. Worse. "Tessa what happened?" he asked surprised. "Why so surprised?" she asks with a hint of mystery in her voice. "You did this to me. You have anger issues! You have psychological issues!" she yelled, sitting up from the bed. "Why would he do this to you?" her mom asks. Clearly taking his side. "Don't you notice the guilt in his eyes? He won't even look at me!" Tessa hissed. "Look! At! Me." her lat word went calm. "You little -" Jax jumped at her. I jumped up and puched him against the wall. "You lay one more finger on her and you'll end up in here. No, not in a bed - in the morgue." his jaw clenched. "Now did you, or did you not do this to her?" I ask, grip tightening. He didn't answer. Her mother's face went into a slow shock. "Security!" she yelled.

Two huge guards came in and grabbed him. "What's wrong Ma'am?" one of them asked. "He beat my daughter." she started crying - now that hurt. "That'll get ya 10 years easy. It's like you wanted to go to jail." he says with comedic relief. A couple minutes later, two police cars were outside. I know Tessa hated him. So I picked her up, and took her over to the window so she could see the man she hated be taken away. We wtched them drive off. I stood there for a few more seconds. She turned to me. "Thanks you." she whispered. My heart melted at how sweet she was being. "You don't have to thank me." I said and put her back in the bed.

Her mom was upset. Actually - that is an understatement. "What did you do to make him so upset?" her mom acted the exacgt opposite of what I thought. "Are you implying that your are more upset that your trashy boyfriend got arrested, than you are that your daughter was beaten?" Tessa asks dumbfounded. "I thought he was the one! How could this happen? I know you weren't fond of him - but you didn't have to blame this on him." her mother's voice got high at the end. I cut in. "If you love your daughter, I think she should come first before any boyfriend considering her father died." I say slowly, maybe hoping it will go through her thick skull. "Who are you to tell me what I should think?" she asked me. This isn't gonna end well. I whispered to Tessa quickly "Turn on the water works." simple as that, she started crying. "Why are you crying?" her mo rushed over, with some sympathy in her voice. "You don't love dad anymore." she whimpered. Good, right in the first husband. "I will always love him-" she was cut off by Tessa. "Then you don't love me. You cared more about Jax, than me." she finished. "But I don't. i don't know what happened...I still love you and you dad. Forget Jax." her mom says. "So your suing him right?" Tess says, completely normal. "For more money thank you think. I can't take being in these clothes anymore, I'm gonna run home and get changed, I'll be right back." Her mom gets up.

"Thank you Kendall." she said. On the way out she whispered "Tess and I both love BTR." and she left.

About time someone noticed me.
