A/N:  just a little bit of a warning: This chapter is a little intense and emotional in places. 

Kassidy POV

I ran out the back door as I saw Tom reach for his Taser.

"Tom! Stop!" I shouted. Tom looked up at me.

"Stay back Kassidy!" He shouted.

"Don't hurt him!" I yelled. "Please!"

"He was jumping the fence." Tom said.

"I know he was, I told him to! Hes okay. Please.. just let him up." I said and walked over. Tom Got up and helped Killian up and took the handcuffs off of him.

"What the hell is going on here Kassidy?!" Tom asked and folded his arms across his chest. "Why is this man sneaking around in your back yard?"

"Hes..my boyfriend." I said. Tom looked Killian up and down. "A little old to be your boyfriend isn't He Kassidy?" He asked.

"Just.. don't tell my Dad." I said.

"Its too late, I called him as soon as I saw him and if I know your Dad.. you are going to be in one hell of a mess when he gets here." Tom said. I sighed and put my head in my hands.

"Do you have any idea what the hell you just did?!"

"Its going to be okay Kass." Killian said.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that." Tom said.

"Ugh.. Tom! Just go watch the fucking side walk!" I screamed.

"Hey! Watch it." Tom said. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Kassidy Calm down before you get yourself arrested." Killian said. My Dad came out into the back yard from the house. Tom looked at me.

"Best of luck to you." He said and walked back to his post. Dad approached me.

"Kass.. what is he doing here?" He asked looking at Killian. I looked away.

"Inside. NOW." He said. I bowed my head and walked inside. This was it. This was how it was going to end. Killian followed me inside and my Dad followed him and slammed the door.

"Explain. Now." He said.

"Dad.. I don't know what you want me to say.." I said.

"I want you to tell me why the hell, your Algebra teacher is sneaking into our back yard on a saturday!" Dad yelled. I flinched I hadn't seen him this angry since I stole his car when I was 14 and drove into the mailbox.

"Sean.. if you would just calm down this might be easier to explain." Killian said.

"You! Don't get to speak right now!" Dad said and looked at me.

"Is this the boyfriend you've been so secretive about?!" He asked. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think and Dad screaming at me was not helping.

"Answer me Kassidy!" He yelled.

"Stop Fucking yelling at me for two seconds!" I screamed.

"Answer the God Damned Question!" He screamed back.

"YES! Okay? Yes! Killian is my boyfriend." I yelled. Dad didn't say anything for a few seconds. He looked at Killian.

"Is this true?" He asked.

"Yes.. it is." Killian said. Killian didn't even have time to move before my Dads fist hit him right in the face.

"Dad!" I screamed and pushed him away from Killian. I looked at Killian who now had a broken nose. "Jesus Christ Dad you broke his nose!" I yelled.

"He fucking deserves it! He deserves more than that! He deserves a fucking prison sentence!"

"Dad we didn't do anything Illegal. I'm 18!" I said.

"I don't care. This ends now. Monday, I go to the school." He said.

"Dad you can't! You're going to ruin his life!" I said.

"Seems like a fair trade! He may as well have ruined yours!"

"If you go to that school it wont be him ruining my life it will be you! What do you think is going to happen? You think I wont get in trouble too? No! I'll get expelled and do you know what kind of school will take me after that? None!" I yelled.

"I don't want you seeing him anymore. I will transfer back to New York if I have to and you will finish school there!"

"You can't do that dad, You don't make choices for me anymore!"

"As long as you live under my roof, I do!" He yelled.

"Then, I don't live under your roof anymore." I said.

"Like hell you don't!" He said.

"I've already started moving things into Killian's weeks ago! You might notice things like this if you weren't so busy lying to me about working when you are really just getting laid!  You can't stop me. I love him Dad."

"Fine! If that's what you want. GO. But you walk out that door and you don't come back!" Dad yelled.

"Sean.. that's a little harsh don't you think? This will blow over." Killian said.

"No! She's made her choice. If she wants to be a little whore, that's fine. But she wont be one here."

"Dad.." I said my voice broke, along with my heart. that was the single most hurtful thing my Dad had ever said to me. Killian growled and pushed my Dad into the wall and held him there with his forearm

"You can be mad. You can be bloody pissed off! You are entitled to it but don't you EVER call her that again She's your daughter for fucks sake! Look at her!" Dad looked at me. Tears fell from my eyes. The look in his eyes told me he knew the mistake he had just made.

"Kassi..baby.." He said.

But the damage was done. I was already gone. I didn't need any of my things. I just needed to get the fuck out of that house. I ran. I ran out the front door, and down the street. I didn't know exactly where I was going but it was going to be as far away from my father as possible.

Killian POV

I released Sean and backed away from him.

"What have I just done?" He asked.

"Well, if you are asking my honest opinion, you just fucked up. Royally." I said.

"How do I fix this?" Sean asked.

"I don't know that you can mate." I said and shook my head. "Why would you say that to her?"

"I was just so angry. You sat there last night and talked to me like none of this was happening!" Sean said.

"Well, seeing how you acted just now can you blame me?" I asked.

"No. I guess not. Its just she's my little girl and you.. you're her damn teacher! You are 6 fucking years older than she is and damnit you should have known better!"

"I Know but we don't control who we fall in love with. I fought this like hell when I first met her,  and she did too, but it all just kind of happened." I said. Sean sighed and looked at my nose.

"I uh.. I'm sorry about that."

"No.. I probably deserved this much." I said. "It will heal."

"You've gotta find her Killian. She's got this self destruct mode when she's upset and there is no telling what she is going to do.."

"I will find her. I cant guarantee she's going to want to talk to you for a long while."

"That's fine. Just find her and call me as soon as she is safe." He said.

"Are we.. good?" I asked.

"I don't know to be honest the father in me, still wants to put a bullet in your head, and the only reason you will still have a Job Monday morning is because if you go down, she goes down too." He said. "Just make sure you tell her I love her, and that I'm sorry."

I nodded.

"Sure." I said and walked out of the house. I wasn't sure where she went, but I had to find Kassidy. The town was only so big.

Hours had gone by, Kassidy wasn't answering her phone and I had looked everywhere that I could possibly think that she would have been. I decided to check back at the house for the third time. I unlocked the door and stepped inside and sighed in relief. Kassidy was sitting on the couch staring at the tv.

"I have looked everywhere for you." I said.

"I know..." She said.

"How long have you been here?" I asked.

"About 30 minutes." She replied.

"Why didn't you call me?" I asked.

"I left my phone at..Dads." She said and looked at me. I sat down beside her.

"Where did you go?"

"I got lost in the woods for a little while. I needed to be alone. I'm sorry. If I had my phone I would have told you I was okay." She said.

"Are you okay?" I asked. Her eyes welled up and she shook her head. I pulled her close to me.

"Why would he call me that?" She sobbed.

"He was upset Kassidy. He didn't mean to and he instantly regretted it." I said. I didn't know why I was defending him, One he punched me in the nose, and two he broke her heart I should have been the last person to defend him.

"Are you going to lose your job?" She asked.

"No, hes not going to tell, but maybe you should call him and tell him you are okay?"

"Fuck him." She said. It was clear that her and her father had the exact same temper.

"Okay, you don't have to call him." I said.

"Good. Because I'm not going to." She said and stood up. "I'm going to run a bath.. can you make me some tea please?" She asked. I nodded.

"Of course love." I smiled.

"Thank you.." She said softly and walked into the bathroom. I waited until the water started running before I called Sean.

"Yeah?" He asked he sounded a little tipsy.

"Sean...its Killian." I said.

"Did you find her??" He asked.

"Yeah. She's...home." I said.

"I just looked she's not here." Sean said.

"No. I meant, she's at my house. Which..is going to be home whether you like it or not." I said.

"How is she?" He asked.

"Not that you deserve to know, but she is safe."

"That's fair." He said and sighed.

"I have to go. If you could bring her phone to my classroom Monday I can give it to her." I said.

"Sure." He said. "See you then." He added and hung up.

I went to the kitchen to make Kassidy her tea. When it was done, I brought it to her in the bathroom.

"Thank you." She said and sniffled.

"You're welcome." I said and sat on the edge of the tub. She took a sip of her tea and set it down and rubbed her puffy eyes. She looked at me.

"You should have gotten your nose looked at." She said.

"Nah, its fine. Its not my first broken nose and it probably wont be my last."

"I'm sorry he hit you." She said. "And sorry you almost got tased, and arrested, and lost your job all in the same day." She said "I think I've given you the Cole luck." She added.

"Well, it blends nicely with the Jones luck." I said and smiled. "Its going to be okay."

"Yeah. Until someone else finds out. How many more chances are we going to get before someone actually goes to the school board." She said.

"We will worry about that when we get to it." I said. "At least, now your dad knows and that's out of the way." I said.

"Yeah, but now he thinks I'm a whore, and he hates me and kicked me out." She muttered.

"He doesn't hate you, and he didn't mean what he said. I stayed and talked with him after you left." I said. Kassidy just shrugged and drank more of her tea and yawned.

"I'm going to go get the bed ready for you so you can lay down." I said.

"Please.. just stay." She said. "I don't want to be alone. When I'm alone, I cry and I don't want to cry anymore." She said.

"Okay. I will stay." I said.

"I love you." She said.

"I love you too." I smiled.

Monday morning came way too fast. I rolled over to nudge Kassidy but there was no one there to nudge. I got out of bed and walked out of the room. Kassidy was sitting in the living room watching TV.

"Have you been out here all night?" I asked. She nodded.

"I couldn't sleep and I didn't want to wake you up so I came out here." She said. "What time is it?" She asked.

"5:45." I said.

"Wow." She said. "I guess we better get ready then." She said.

"The only thing you should be getting ready for is Bed." I said.

"Nah, I'm fine. I just need some coffee." She smiled and walked past me to the bathroom to start the shower.

I give her half the day

She peeked her head out the door. "You gonna join me or not?" She asked with a smirk.

Kassidy POV

I knew Killian would have preferred it if I just stayed home, but I didn't want to be there alone and It wasn't like I hadn't pulled all nighters before. I sipped at my red bull in the cafeteria waiting for the first bell to ring.

"Dude. Where have you been all weekend??" Ruby asked.

"My dad said, that your dad said he hadn't seen or heard from you since Saturday, so we've all been trying to contact you." Emma said.

Nice one Dad.

"I left my phone at my Dads." I said. "As far as him not seeing me since Saturday, that is correct. I'm sure he left out all important details." I said.

"Okay, so fill us in. What is going on??" Belle asked.

"My Dad found out about Killian." I said.

"What??" Ruby asked "And you are still alive? Is he still alive? Is he still our math teacher??" She asked.

"Yes, to all of the above." I said. "There was a lot of yelling, a lot of screaming. Dad punched Killian in the nose. Dad called me a whore and kicked me out, Killian pushed my Dad into the wall defending me, and I left in the middle of all that. I've been at Killian's. Where I will stay." I said.

"Oh..my God." Belle said.

"Are you okay??" Emma asked. I shrugged.

"I'm getting there. I'll be fine." I smiled.

"Well.. if you ever need a place to stay if Killian starts to drive you crazy, We have a spare room." Emma said.

I smiled. "Thank you." I said.

"How does he still have his job? How are you not expelled?" Belle asked.

"My Dad and Killian came to some sort of agreement I guess. I don't know. I wasn't there." I said.

"Are you going to try to talk to your Dad?" Belle asked.

"Nope." I said and shrugged. "He wanted me out. I'm out."

"Just try to remember that eventually this will all blow over, Hes the only father you have." Belle said. The bell rang and I stood up.

"I have to get to class." I said. I didn't want to admit that Belle was right. I didn't want anything to do with my father right now.

By the end of the day I was starting to feel the fact that I had been awake all night, and even a second red bull on lunch wasn't cutting it anymore and Killian took my third one away as soon as I walked into his class with it.

"You know you can't have drinks in here Miss Cole." He said and threw it in the trash can.

You could have just put it on your desk and saved it for me!  I went to protest but he gave me the scary teacher look. I grumbled to myself and went back to working on my work sheet until the bell rang.

"We were going to Granny's. you coming?" Emma asked.

"Yeah. give me a minute." I said. Emma nodded and I waited until everyone else left the class before I turned to Killian.

"See. I survived."

"You are so jittery you are vibrating love." He said and raised an eyebrow. "What kept you up all night?" he asked. I shrugged.

"I don't know."

"Sean.." Killian said.

"What? No.." I said. Killian shook his head and turned me to face the door where my Dad was walking in. He approached me.

"Kassidy.." He said. I said nothing, I just looked at him. He handed me my cell phone. I put it in my backpack and started walking out the door.

"Kassidy. Wait." He said. I turned around.

"I'm really sorry. I know you don't want to talk to me, and you don't want to come back home, but I didn't mean what I said. you are always welcome back home." I looked past him and looked at Killian.

"See you at home." I said and walked out of the classroom.
