< flashback >

That call...what could be wrong with her? She was crying and sobbing — did someone hurt her?! A million thoughts raced through my head...all bad ones... "answer c'mon!" I tried to call Kendall twice already and no reply until I finally heard something from the other line "Kendall?!" I furrowed my brows "y/n?" I heard a different voice from the phone "Troy?!" I asked him yelling — "why are you answering Kendall's phone?!" I asked taking the second to last turn to Kendall's house.

There was nothing but silence on the other line "what did you do to her?!" I shouted again "what she fucking deserves!" Troy yelled "what do you mean?!" I asked "man you really are blind aren't you, y/n/n?!" I practically crushed my iPhone in my hands "I swear to fucking god I'll kill you if you did anything to harm her." I threatened "you wouldn't kill a fly." He hung up and I threw my phone on the dashboard.

I took the last turn and quickly reached her house, I had left the car, and ran inside her house "Kendall?!" I shouted "look it's your knight an shining armor..." I heard Troy's voice say with a chuckle at the end of his sentence "y/n!" I heard a crying Kendall shout.

Her house had been huge, I've been here more than a dozen times and I still haven't gotten the use to what was where. I started to run upstairs to where her bedroom was and as I made it up the stairs I was met by my brother — he stood in front of her bedroom door "what the hell are you doing Troy?!"

Troy knocked on the bedroom door "hey Ken's should I tell your girlfriend what I'm doing here?!"

My fist were clenched "get the fuck out of the way, Troy!" I pushed Troy out of the way at the door and he flung to the side surprised at my strength. "Baby...it's me can you open the door?" Kendall didn't answer for a second but then she did slowly to make sure it was me. Her cheeks were so bruised up and she couldn't her left eye — "oh my god..." I gasped and tears started to steam down my face as they did for hers.

I caressed her face and asked "why...? Why would he do this?" I whispered to her but then got up "what the fucking hell if wrong with you?!" I pushed Troy "she deserves it! She fucking took something away from me!" I shook my head and punched him straight in the jaw "hey what the fuck?!" He frowned and touched his now bruised jaw. I couldn't stop, I let out all my anger on him and he deserved — I jumped on him and he stumbled back words, both his hands fell to his side and I pinned my legs on top of his arms so he couldn't move "she..." another punch on his face, tears were now everywhere "why would you do that to her?!" Another punch on his nose which now started to bleed.

I stopped after a while because my knuckled were bleeding — but it wasn't my blood. Or I couldn't tell and I didn't care "s-she had an abortion, y/n..." he struggled to let out "MY baby..." he added and laid his head to the side unable to speak.

"Y-You...you two had sex?!" I turned around to where Kendall was — she was crawling on the floor "no...h-he raped me..." She said in shame "it's not rape if you enjoy——" I cut him with another punch to his lips, I started to go out of control again until I punched his Adam's apple and stopped...

I stood up "why didn't you fucking tell me?!" I asked Kendall as I looked down at Troy's face — Troy never hit back, when we were kids and we'd play around he'd never hurt me...I looked down at him in disgust.

"He threatened to kill me..." Kendall said and I kicked my brother in the side "c'mon get up!" I said to Troy who wouldn't move "is he dead...?" Kendall asked "I didn't kill him..." I whispered and kicked Troy again on the side "c'mon get the fuck up your going to prison." He didn't move...

I couldn't have killed him...no...I kneeled down and checked pulse — nothing.

"We have to go..." I told Kendall and reached for her hand as she attempted to get up "come on we're leaving." I said already going down for the stairs — Kendall had took a little longer but as I reached the door I was surrounded by police officers "put your hands where I can see them!" One of them shouted, all guns facing me.

"It's not me your looking for!" I yelled "it's him!" I pointed upwards, "hands where I can see them!" I threw my hands up and five officers ran and pinned me to the ground "it's not me! I didn't hurt her!" I shouted and looked back "Ken, tell them!" I struggled to turn back and see Kendall — she had fallen on the ground unable to get up...weak from the abuse. The last thing I remember was being pushed inside of a police car.

< end of flashback >

Once I realized I'd go behind bars for something I didn't do I started to defend myself — Kendall wouldn't back me up...I tried to find a way to contact her but I couldn't so I gave up on her. Except later on Kendall did — she called me when I was serving time before the trial. The reason I lied in court and admitted to something I didn't do was because if I had told everyone what happened that day—I'd go to jail for murder, at least that's what I thought...because again Troy never hit me, there wasn't a single bruise or cut wound on my body only on Kendall's and Troy's...

"They never found his body y/n/n..."

Time seemed to stop for me..."so you're telling me I did time in prison because I admitted to hurting you so I wouldn't get more time for first degree murder and it didn't even matter because...no..." Kendall broke the news to me "he didn't die, I don't know where he is but..." she pulled out an envelope out of her pocket "I got this letter in the mail, it's Troy...he signed it T..." Kendall said giving me the envelope.

Been a while hasn't it ;)
-T

"Are you sure this is Troy?" I asked to make sure and she shrugged "I mean it has to be — I don't know who else would send me a letter like this...Y/N...I'm so sorry you did time..." she started to cry "it's nothing..." I said with a sigh — "I just want all of this to be over...I want things to go back..." I didn't even give a fuck anymore, I know my brothers out there and he can come back and hurt Kendall again, or even me...

"Kendall this is my fault...if I never kissed you we wouldn't be here today..." I sighed...everything was my fault, if they were still together I wouldn't have asked Kendall to marry me, she wouldn't have been raped and she wouldn't have gotten an abortion, and  been hurt by my insane brother...and I wouldn't have done time... "No it's not...nothing your fault y/n/n...Troy is crazy...he didn't want us to be happy together...this is my fault too...I could have told you what he did and he would have been in prison right now and we could have gotten married already...that's why I tried so hard to get you out...I needed to see you..." she started to cry.

"Sh...sh...he won't hurt you anymore...your safe with me...this isn't your fault..." I pulled Kendall into a hug "I'm so sorry y/n..." she sobbed into my shoulder "I feel like a piece of shit for doing that to you...you are such a great person you don't deserve this..." she sobbed harder "we need to find him...then we need to come clean..." I whispered "but what about the whole lying in court thing?" She looked up at me her face covered in tears "just say he threatened you...jail isn't a place for you..." I wiped a tear of her face with my thumb...

I felt like an idiot for taking the blame for his crime...at least now knowing he was still alive and he was free...if I did time for something I didn't do...I'm going to finish what I started...
