Kenzie's P.O.V.
I spent a few days at home... I stayed in my bedroom only talking to Ken... He would try to get me to go outside but I was just so scared... He would understand. He would sit on the couch with me and he would let me lie with him as we watched television. One night I was falling asleep when there was a knock on the door. I got up to open it and The one person I didn't want to see was there. He was smiling a fake smile. I fell backwards got back up and ran to Ken sobbing. "Get him away from me! GET HIM AWAY!" Ken sat me on a chair and I wrapped my arms around my legs wanting to disappear. He saw Nick and picked up the phone to call the cops. Nick took the phone and slammed it back on the table. "Me and Kenzie have unfinished business. Important unfinished business." He walked into the kitchen and took me by my shoulders. "NO LET GO OF ME! GET AWAY!" He didn't listen and punched me in the stomach. "KEN!" I threw up blood. Len ran in and ripped him off of me. I fell off the chair. Nick started screaming "YOU HAD ONE THING TO DO! TO SAY YOU LOVED ME! WAS THAT SO HARD?!" I couldn't say anything. I was on the floor sobbing in pain. Ken punched him in the stomach many times. He then threw him against a wall as police ran in. They tracked down the call. Nick forgot to hang up. They told Ken he could stop. He ran to me wiping blood from my mouth. "You're okay... You're perfectly fine." I nodded. All I could do was believe him. A paramedic looked at me and felt my stomach. I wasn't fully healed so this wasn't going to be good. They took this scanning device and looked at my stomach. "She's internally bleeding. Get her on a gurney. STAT!" One said that I might not make it... Another said that I would be fine... I could only believe one person... And that would be Ken. I was already used to the pain. And I knew the best way to not get hurt, Is to stay away from as many people as people as possible.
