Secrets revealed

Chapter 36

*Mckenzie's POV*

They all just stared at me. Waiting for me to speak, to say what has happened. But every time I opened my mouth I chocked on the words. After Harry and I had read the note, I knew exactly what they wanted me to come clean about, I knew exactly what I had to tell them but it was something I wanted and needed to forget. Something that cause so much pain for me.

They are all here, well Cole is here by video chat, Hannah, Emily and Zac are sat opposite me and Spencer is sat beside them all staring while Harry tightens his grip on my hand repeatedly to make sure I know he is here.

'I... I dont know where to begin'I say weakly but it seems Hannah hold some anger from the note as she spits back

'Why dont you start with how you knew he was beating us'

I nod as I take a deep breath, thinking back to all those years ago 'I had cameras. cameras everywhere'I pause momentarily as they stare and I can already see the anger so I quickly continue 'do you remember when he used to give us beating every night?'they quickly nod

'Well 6 months after that I went to a friend... Jason, for help. He gave me cameras to install in all of your rooms and hallways. everywhere. Remember the beatings suddenly went down to once a week? well I used to stop him before he got to your rooms but I couldnt always get there on time or some times he would be so drunk. He wouldnt even see me there. Well this is how it went for a while until one night I .... I 'I choke on the words and Harry is quick to aid me with some water

'I had to pick Z up from the party he had gone to, I told him not to drink but of course he didn't listen. I had put him to bed and checked on everyone else but when I came back he was there. Our father, Z was laid face down naked and our father was towering over him undoing his jeans. I went mad. I attacked him and shouted that if he done it, it would be recorded. Everything would be on camera. That seemed to work'

'After that every time he would go to hurt any of you in that way I would come in say those words to him and he would leave. I could never stop the beatings, not fully but I tried. I would take more beatings to spare you but he was never satisfied with just that. The night he found out I was pregnant, he was angry, so angry. He had stopped the beatings for 3 months and in that time I was reckless, I thought he was better. I made a mistake and slept with Jason. But when he found out he was worse than ever'

'That night I ... I l-lost the ba-bbaby. I was in so much pain and he had done severe damage to my body. It happened 3 nights after while I was sat watching the cameras in case he would approach any of your rooms, but he came to mine. I still remember his words, he said that he had been thinking about the cameras, he said that he worked out I would put cameras everywhere except my own room. He was right, why would I need a camera in my own room when I was in there. I was stupid.'

'He attacked me and threw me to the floor, I was still in so much pain from the beating nights before and I couldn't fight back. He stripped me so quickly I couldn't comprehend. I kicked and punched but he just he just pinned me down. As he was going to ... he was ripped from my body. I'm not really sure who or what happened because I passed out but when I came to I was fully dressed and in bed. After that I knew I had to leave. I was only ever there for you guys and thats when I threatened him. I had told him that if he ever laid a finger on any of you again I would go straight to the police. I still had the cameras set up so I could watch. And to my knowledge he hadn't touched any of you since that night. I am sorry I could not stay and I am sorry I could not stop it sooner'

Once I've finally finished fully explaining everything I felt Harry bring me tightly to his body as everyone else just stared in complete shock all except Z.

'I have a confession' Zac speaks and we all face him 'I knew about the cameras. I had found some but left them and pieced everything together, how the beatings decreased and you always came in to stop him, you know when you left us everyone stopped talking to you for 6 months, everyone but me?' He asks and I just nod as he sighs but continues

'I wasn't angry because I knew what he had done. It was me. I was the one that ripped him from your body. The anger I felt was so intense when I saw the strongest person laid defenceless on the floor. I beat him so bad and I left him. I came back and dressed you then put you to bed. I never said a word because I knew you wanted to forget'

I gasp and sit up straight but Harry's grip remain tight to my body. I feel the tears collect and I quickly beckon Zac to come to me. When he does I quickly embrace him repeating a 'thank you' again and again

'Oh my god. I'm so sorry so sorry. You saved us and we didn't even know the full extent of what you went through and we was selfish to not communicate with you for 6 months just because we thought you saved yourself but you didn't. You never did'

I sigh at Hannah's rambles, they are all crying and if I'm honest I'm fed up so I quickly regain my control and become my normal dominant self

'Listen. I am done talking about this. You know what happened and I know what happened we will not discuss this again. Now all of you will go down to your flat and sleep. Spencer you will stay with them tonight no arguing. Now go. Sleep well I love you all very much'

'I love you' I hear from them all as they leave the flat and Cole signs off. I let out a huff as I face Harry

'Tomorrow you call Jax and he will do what ever he has to, to find this bastard and when he does I swear to god I'm gonna kill his sorry arse' I spit out and Harry looks at me in awe

'My brave strong controlling dominant baby girl. I will call him tomorrow and it will be over. Now how about we rest and sleep and I will hold you all night with no questioning or arguing. We will no longer talk about that vile man because I know you don't won't to. So let's go to bed and I will hold you'

'I was never going to argue. I want you to hold me all night'
