"Hey, Kennedy home?" Carrie chuckled as her best friend quickly walked into her house.
"No, no. She is at the coffee house with Leighton." Carrie said, confused as to why Olivia was asking.
"Oh, alright. I um, I want to ask her about something. I'm gonna go find them." Olivia lied, walking back towards the door immediately.
"Liv, is something wrong?" Carrie stopped her, more scared than anything that something was wrong with Kennedy, something that she didn't know about.
"Carrie, everything is fine." Olivia lied for the second time, shaking her head. "Just um, make sure that you keep your phone on. I might want to meet somewhere." Olivia smiled, hugging Carrie before she hurried and left the house. Olivia hated lying to any parents about their children but she knew that if she told Carrie what was going on, she would only get involved.
Dialing Kennedy's phone number, Olivia prayed that she would answer; however, she didn't. Olivia was starting to panic. She couldn't think of where the couple to be and she was more than eager to find the teenager. Olivia had been looking out for Kennedy since she was born, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself if something was to happen to Kennedy, especially something that she could've stopped.
Olivia practically slammed on her breaks when she caught a glance of Kennedy's car, which was parked in at a gas station. The woman pulled beside a gas pump as if she was buying gas and got out of her car. What she saw through the window of Kennedy's car shocked her more than anything.
"I'm sorry, Ethan." Kennedy said as she stepped out of her car quickly, following her boyfriend to his truck, the two not noticing that Olivia was watching from the side of her car. "Please, I didn't tell them anything." The teenager sighed, placing her hands on his chest, only causing him to push them away.
"This is all your fault." Ethan said, grabbing her wrist, shoving her body against the truck, causing Olivia to gasp. "You little bitch,-" Ethan yelled, cutting himself off once he noticed Olivia quickly walking towards him. "You're a piece of shit, Kennedy and you always will be." Olivia ran towards Kennedy as she fell to the ground.
"Ken," the woman said, knealing down to Kennedy as Ethan quickly left. "Honey, are you okay?" Olivia asked, Kennedy standing up slowly as tears ran down her face.
"Don't tell my mom." Kennedy sniffled, getting into her car before leaving Olivia there at the gas station to try her best to come up with some kind of lie to tell her best friend. She didn't know what to do. If Kennedy wasn't willing to talk about what was happening, she couldn't do anything.
Kennedy entered her house, causing Carrie to stand from the couch quickly. Before Carrie could get a word in with her daughter Kennedy had already rushed up the stairs and into her bedroom.
The teenager wiped her tears away as usual, only this time she was also trying to make sure that her nose wasn't bleeding still. She was scared for her life that her mother would find out, or even worse, Olivia would. Kennedy knew that deep down Ethan loved her; he just had a bad temper, right? She made any and every excuse for his bad behavior.
"Kennedy, let me in." Carrie said, knocking on her teenager's bedroom door.
"I'm about to get in the shower." Kennedy sighed, shaking her head as she looked at her arms seriously, hoping that they wouldn't be bruised the next day.
"I said open the door, Kennedy." Carrie spoke seriously and sternly, wanting to get to the bottom of her behavior. "What is going on?" She questioned, the second that her daughter opened her bedroom door. "Your lip, it's busted. Kennedy, what is going on?" Carrie repeated herself, hoping that her daughter would actually tell the truth about what'd happened to her.
"Mom, I um,-"
"Ran into the door again? I'm tired of the lies. I can't take it anymore. I'm not going to stand here and watch you lie to my face." Carrie was beginning to get upset and Kennedy could easily tell, but she didn't know what to do. Kennedy wanted to tell her the truth but at the same time, she knew that telling the truth would only make things worse.
"Mom,"
"I just want the truth, Kennedy. Please. just tell me what happened." Carrie cut off her daughter for the second time, now begging for her daughter's honesty.
"Nothing happened. That's the truth. I just fell." Kennedy said, quietly.
Prom is today ahhhh❤
