TW: DEATH, SEXUAL ASSAULT, ABUSE

-Destiny's POV-

I went to bed in Emerson's lap last night, and was rudely awoken by Kellin

"Destiny Alaina!" He shouted and I jumped up

"What's up bubby?" I spoke and he handed me my phone

"Call from an inmate? Who is that?" He spoke and I laughed

"Breathe bubs, it's Ronnie" I spoke and he relaxed.

Ronnie   Destiny

Hello stranger

What's up kid

You're the one who called.

Good point, I wanna talk about Chris

Okay.., Why to me?

Because he's trying to tell me stories and they seem hella twisted. I want the real story.

Okay. All of it?

All of it.

I guess we can start with the time that he hit me for coming home from school like 5 minutes late, or the times he beat the shit out of me for touring with Kellin instead of him

Jesus Christ

I'm not done. Then there's the time he tried to beat the crap out of Kellin, because Kellin just happened to need something during a date night. Followed by the time I walked in on him fucking my best friend only to find out she didn't want that, she was assaulted, and we pressed charges. Followed by the time that I tried to OD because of him and Kellin found me, and brought me to the hospital.

Is that it?

Almost. Then just recently, he broke out of prison and was wandering outside the Forum because he knew we were there. I guess he said something super fucked up to Kellin. Because at 3am I was awoken by his boyfriend to find out that he was suicidal, because of Chris. We found Kellin sitting by a bridge, crying. That's when he told me that he was suicidal, and showed me the scars.

Holy shit

Now I gotta ask

What's up?

What'd he say?

He said that y'all asked for what you got, and to not believe you, but i've believed you since day one.

Jesus Christ. Is that all?

Are you okay?

I think so. It's been a long few nights but I've got kell and emerson here, so it's all good.

Okay. I love you kiddo

Love you too Ronnie.

I hung up the phone and sighed.

"Is that really what happened?" Emerson spoke and I felt a tear slip down my cheek

"Yeah. I never talk about it, it makes me sick, and sad" I spoke and he got up, hugging me close.

"I'm so sorry" He spoke and I just cried

"Nothing to be sorry for love. Not your fault" I spoke and he just held me.

-Kellin's POV-

Hearing it all come out all at once made me sick, but I was trying not to show it.

"Is that all true?" Remington spoke and I just nodded.

"She has the best brother, you know that? She just admitted that she wouldn't be here without you" He spoke and I felt the tears coming.

He pulled me close and I just cried

"You don't need to say anything. I know. She loves you, and so do I" He spoke and I felt the shock

"Did you just say-"

"That I love you? Yeah, I did. Kellin, I love you" He spoke, cutting me off and I smiled, tears still rolling down my cheeks

"I love you too" I spoke and he leaned in right as Destiny spoke.

"Y'all. I hate to be the person that breaks up this cute moment, but I think you're gonna want to see this" She spoke, holding out her phone.

'Inmate Christopher Cerulli killed in fight with cellmate and former rock icon Ronnie Radke'

"Holy shit, is that real? Like are we sure?" I spoke and she nodded.

"Yup. Emily saw the body in the coroners office" She spoke and I felt my jaw drop to the floor.

What an odd chain of events.
