Toxic. (Ethan Dolan.)

Part 27 - The Best Medicine

Kendall's P.O.V

"Honey are you home?" I hear my dad ask down the hallway.

I pull the blankets over my face. "Yeah, I'm just going to go for a nap."

I hear him by the door. "Everything okay?"

"Yes dad, I just want to be alone."

"Sit up sweetie."

"No dad, just go away!" I yell.

He sits down next to me. "Tell me what's wrong, I know there's something wrong."

I sit up showing him my face. My swollen lips, my black eye and the bruises on my forehead. He was studying my face and I could tell he was upset.

"Who did this to you?"

"No one, I fell and I just feel sick. I didn't want to show you because I knew you think something else happened."

"That doesn't look like you fell over Ken."

I look at my fingers as I start to cry. "I really don't want to talk about it."

He brought me into his arms and he held me while I cry.

"I'm a nobody dad." I cry. "A bit, fat fucking nobody." I quoted Ethan's words.

"Hey." He whispered. "I remember the day you came into this world." He said. I could hear the smile on him. "And I knew, ever since that day you would do me proud, every single moment of your life. My darling, you are doing so well in school. So bloody well. You may think you're a nobody, but to me you are much more than that."

"Dad-"

"And I bet to Ethan you are much more than that."

"He doesn't like me dad." I cry. "I thought he changed, I thought that I could trust him. He threw it all away. He was lying to me the whole time, he was seeing another girl when we were talking, while we was coming over every night."

"When you're older you will look back and realise that none of this will matter when high school ends. High school does not last forever. When you finish, you'll go to college, you'll get a good job and you will find somebody that truly loves you. Ethan won't matter in a few years Kendall, I promise you."

I sit up and I wipe my tears.

"Remember this my love. Nothing lasts forever. And that could either mean a bad thing or a good thing."

He ended it with that and one last smile. Before he handed me a glass of water and kissed my forehead.

"Now, throw in a chick flick and ill go and get the ice cream." He beamed. "Then, you will tell me what really happened to your face."

I look down and I nod. And left to go downstairs to get the ice cream. I chose a movie.
