Closer

Chapter 1

No One's POV:

  Kendall fixes her little sister's hat then helps her brother put his coat on before standing. "Come on, guys. We gotta get to school," she gently says with a smile and her eye twitches slightly at the noises coming from her father's room.

   They walk out of their house and start walking down the street towards the bus stop. "Dad's having sex with the lady next door again, Kendall," Mickey announces biting into his apple.

  Kendall slaps the back of his head making him yell and hold his head. "Watch your mouth, Mick. I don't need to get another phone call from your school again saying you were cursing," she sternly says gently touching the bandaid on her eyebrow.

   The school called their father then her after their father got pissed that they did so he took it out on Mickey and Kendall jumped in to stop him resulting in him beating the crap out of her while her little siblings watched in horror.

  Mickey looks at it sadly and nods. "Sorry, Kendall. I won't do it again," he says making her smile sadly at him and pat his shoulder.

   "It's alright. Now have a good day at school, guys. After school I'm gonna take you both to the park and we'll get pizza, ok?" She announces getting two bright smiles from her siblings who both hug her when she kneeled down to their level.

"Thanks, Kenny! Love you," Mandy exclaims excitedly jumping in place making Kendall smile gently at her.

"Your welcome, little one. Love you both. Alright get in," she says kissing their cheeks before shooing them towards the bus that pulled in front of them filled with kids talking.

They kiss her cheeks before climbing in and Kendall waves bye as it drives off. She checks the time on her watch and her eyes widen. If she doesn't hurry she will be late for school.

Kendall starts running down the block while tightening her hold on her backpack. She pulls open the school doors and runs down the halls towards her classroom.

    She makes it just in time as Mr. Johnson starts to close the door. "Made it just in time, Kendall. You know you didn't have to rush, I would've unlocked it for you," he chuckles pushing open the door and she thanks him before heading to her seat.

   Kendall closes her eyes and leans back panting as her calves burn from running so much. Soft hands run through her hair and she opens them seeing her girlfriend smiling gently down at her.

Fiona leans down, kissing her forehead then her eyebrow gently before sitting back down in her chair as Mr. Johnson clears his throat loudly.

"Alright class. Let's shake ourselves awake before we start learning about molecules," he announces and shakes out his arms making some students chuckle and follow his example.

He laughs softly and nods, "good job, class. Now let's get started. So turn to chapter 12 in your books and it will show you what's in a molecule and what makes a molecule."

   Kendall opens her book and flips to the right page before writing down notes on her notebook as Mr. Johnson talks about the lesson.

After about an hour the bell rang making everyone put their books in their bags before exiting the classroom.

   Fiona grabs ahold of her girlfriend's hand and intertwines their fingers together. "Are you ok, babe?" She softly asks her eyes flicking up to the bandage on her eyebrow.

   "Yeah, I'm fine. Terry came after me when I tried to protect Mickey," Kendall carefully responds gently squeezing her hand as they head to their lockers.
