8- There's A Story At The Bottom Of This Bottle And I'm The Pen

-recap-

"I got a text from Kellin'

'We gotta talk when you get home. Nothing bad. Love u'

"Remington texted me"

"That's exactly what Kellin said"

"Hey, hey. Bubby what's wrong?"

-Recap over-

-Destiny's POV-

Kellin looked up at me, tears still streaming down his face

"You said it wasn't bad" I spoke and he sniffled

"I didn't think it would be" He spoke and then pointed to his phone where he had texts with our mom up

K: Hey mom, I wanna tell you something

M: What is it?

K: I'm gay

M: Then you're not my son

I looked up at him and smiled

"Is that what you wanted to tell me?" I spoke, grabbing his hands

"Y-yeah, are you mad?" He spoke and I felt my heart shatter

"Of course not! If that's who you are then that's who you are. Who am I to judge?" I spoke and pulled him close

"Theres one more thing." he spoke and I pulled away to look at him

"What is it?" I spoke and he sniffled

"I like Remington" He spoke and I smiled

"Okay. That's okay." I spoke and moments later emerson texted me

'We gotta talk. It's urgent'

I panicked a bit.

"I'll be right back" I spoke and Kellin nodded.

I walked into the kitchen and called Emerson

Emerson   Destiny

Oh thank god you called.

Did I do something?

No, no not at all. I wanna talk about Remington

Actually me too, you go first

He came out to me. That's what he wanted to talk to me about

Okay?

He likes Kellin

I felt my heart drop into my stomach

Can you relay a message for me?

Sure, what's up.

Tell him the feelings are mutual.

Wait actually?

Yeah. I got home and found Kell crying on the couch. It's complicated, but moral of the story is Kellin likes him too.

Wow, wow. Okay. cool.

Yeah, are you okay?

Yeah I'm okay. Just a bit shocked is all

Me too.

I have one more thing.

Okay? What's up?

This is so bad. I don't usually do stuff like this over the phone cause I was raised not to, but I didn't get to ask before I left your house.

What's up?

Do you wanna be my girlfriend?

I would love to.

Okay

Okay.

He hung up the phone and I went back to Kellin

"Was that Emerson?" He spoke and I sat down next to him

"Yeah, why?" I spoke and he just smiled

"Just curious" he spoke and I took a deep breath

"I have some news" I spoke and Kellin looked at me with wide eyes

"Remington likes you too. That's why Emerson called" I spoke, smiling

His eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and I spoke again

"But also, he asked me out, like officially" I spoke and his eyes lit up again

"Did you say yes?" He spoke and I giggled

"Of course I did. Who would I be if I didn't?" I spoke, smiling.

"Your turn, lovebird" I spoke pointing to his phone that was now ringing, Remington's number on the screen.

-Kellin's POV-

Destiny pointed out that my phone was ringing and I looked at it, but I didn't recognize the number

"It's Remington, answer it" She spoke and I picked it up

Kellin   Remington

Hello?

Hey! This is Kellin right?

Yep, that's me. Is this Remington?

Yeah. Were you skeptical?

I just wanted to make sure my sister wasn't fucking with me

Ahhh. That's fair. So I have a question

Shoot

Would you wanna go out on a date before tour starts?

I'd love to

We talked for a little while longer before I hung up, saving his contact

"Sooooo????" Destiny spoke and I smiled

"I've got a date!"
