Oneshots - Kayce Dutton Book 2

Even with all your bullshit.

Request - Can you do one where you and Kayce have a huge fight and then John comes to you and asks you to help? You find Kayce and he's in bad shape and it's really sad but there's hope because you love him? 

You opened your front door and were surprised to see John Dutton standing on the other side. You hadn't seen John Dutton, or any of the Duttons for that matter, in almost three weeks. Not since you and Kayce got into a screaming match that ultimately led to you slamming the foreman's cabin door and driving off. It was the same old story again, Kayce not coming home until early in the morning, covered in dirt and blood, bruises on his eyes and knuckles, and not telling you what happened. 

Whiskey was also involved, as was hurling horrible words at each other because both of you were at your wit's end. Dating for almost two years, you learn just how to cut your partner down, and you and Kayce dealt some pretty heavy blows that night. 

The past few weeks have been brutal on you. Not eating much, not leaving your place unless you had to, and that consistent pain in your heart from missing Kayce like crazy. But you had to stand your ground this time. You couldn't let Kayce treat you how he had been. For him to act like you were only part of his life and not fully invested, wasn't how it would work with you. 

"John?" 

"Hi Y/N," John looked like it was painful to stand in front of you. 

"What...what are you doing here?" You asked him. 

"Have you uh," John sighed. "Have you seen Kayce or talked to him?" 

Your hand held the door halfway open. 

"I haven't," You shook your head. "Not since...no." 

John looked like whatever hope he still had inside him left. It made your stomach feel funny like there was more to why he was here that he wasn't saying. 

"Why?" You asked. 

"He hasn't...we haven't seen him in two days now," John said. "Tried calling him, but nothing and I thought maybe he came here." 

Your eyes narrowed at him. 

"What do you mean you haven't seen him?" You asked, opening the door fully. 

John looked at you as if he was trying to figure out how to tell you something. It was cold, the cool air coming in now that you had the door open more. You shivered as you waited for John to say something. 

"He's bad, Y/N," John said. "He...I don't know what happened between the two of you and I know it ain't my business but Kayce...he's bad, Y/N."

"What do you mean bad?" You asked. 

John shook his head. 

"Lost?" He said. "In pain? I don't know what it is...he's angry, taking out anyone and everything that crosses him." 

You stood there. 

"He almost took our Ryan the other day," John leaned his head down briefly. "He fought Rip too...I don't know what to do...how to help him."

John looked back at you.  

"That's not my fault, John," You whispered out. 

"I'm scared, Y/N," John said and you felt like the wind was knocked out of you. 

Kayce had anger problems and a temper like a grizzly bear. But Kayce was a good man and his tender side was what made you fall in love with him. But there weren't too many people who knew Kayce had that side to him. To hear he was at a point like what John was saying made your heartache.
