KylieFenty: I guess I owe you all an apology and an explanation. For the last few months I have been reliving past traumas which I'm not ready to share yet but it something that needed to be done. There's been so much going on which is why I decided to take a break from social media so that I can focus on my mental health. Rehab was not a place that I ever thought I would go to but I am so grateful for my time there as it has allowed me to get down to the roots of my problem. My apologies for disappearing and spiraling out of control after releasing music. I can't guarantee if I will return to that part of my life but I am so passionate about clearing the bad energy and working on becoming better.

My family and I attend four family therapy sessions before I had to testify in court and it was the most humiliating moment for me. Stephen was really the villain in my story and it scares me to think that in a short time, he was able to make me relapse.
The court proceedings went on for a week and there was so much revealed to the people in court. The courts had presented a lot of evidence from our phones and a video camera. My family were present to witness the horrific things that were found on them.
I even cried as I watched a few of the videos seeing as I never knew of their existence. Stephen really did a number on me and I don't think I will ever forget that.
There was this one video where I was speaking to the camera about how I missed my family. You could hear footsteps getting louder before I quickly hid the camera before Stephen walked into the room. You could hear me cry and plead for him not to inject me but the things that he did to me will forever traumatize me. This man assaulted me on multiple levels and his defense team couldn't form any sufficient arguments against me.
Stephen was sentenced to ten years and he will be registered to the sex offenders list upon release. Once news got out, everyone finally understood that I was the victim in this case and Stephen was a bad man.
After news broke, Zion shortly reached out to me but made no move to visit me. He really stuck to his word and has practically cut himself out of my life. It hurts but I understand that we just don't click well together.
Fai and I have been hanging out alot and he has slowly become one of my closest friends during these troubling times. I assumed that he wanted me for my fame but we have barely kissed and our interactions are usually private.
"Kylie, come and sing for us." My father calls out from the music room where he is playing a beautiful piece on the piano.
Shortly after getting back with my mom, my father moved into the family home and has made amends with his own sisters. For the first time in a very very long time, our family is at it's best.
"I don't want to sing." I tell him as I walk into the room. Singing has been something that I have given up over these last few months. I've even stopped singing in the shower so they are pretty uncomfortable and awkward.
"Come on." My mom gestures for me to walk towards the piano but I shake my head.
"Mom, just leave her." Zendaya mutters as I hug myself.
"I miss hearing you sing." My father tells me. "I've been a fool for not supporting your music career and I've missed out on so much. I just don't want your last album to have been your last musical moment seeing as I spoke so negatively of it."
I rub my lips together as I think about his words.
"I just want to be here for you." He stops playing the piano. "If you don't want to sing, that's fine. I'll support you all the way."
I sigh deeply as I make my way over to the piano where I take my seat besides him. Without saying another word, I begin to a play song that is dear to my heart.
All along it was a fever
A cold sweat, hot headed believer
I threw my hands in the air, said, "Show me something"
He said, "If you dare, come a little closer"Round and around and around and around we go
Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you knowNot really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stayAs I continue to sing Stay by my mother, she often joined in before letting me sing alone. As I neared the final chorus, I gestured for her to sing with me.
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Stay
I want you to stay
OohI play the keys for another ten seconds before ending the song.
"You're welcome." I tell my my father how is looking at me.
Zendaya surprises me by wrapping her arms around me, "It's good to have you back."
"I'm trying." I tell my family as I look at them. "I'm trying to be better but it's going to take me time so please be patient with me."
My mom smiles at me, "We're trying too. It's not easy on any of us but we will try our hardest to make things easier for you. Anything you need, you let us know because we are your family and we will support you to the very end."
