Chapter Fifteen-

After having found Vic, I had stayed in the car without him, texting everyone, including Jesse, that everything was sorted out and to go back to class. Of course, Mike protested with everything in his being, but eventually, he gave in, and went silent on the phone, which made me believe he went back to class. I sighed, my arms still wrapped around him in the back seat of his car. This was so mixed up. Normally, I would be the one in his arms, needing comfort. But instead, here I was, holding him as Vic's breath slowly get back to normal. I could tell he was extremely worn out, but from what I still had no idea. He had just been like this I got here, not saying a word.

At first, he had sobbed. And I mean full out sobbed, and then he had just silently cried. Not making a single sound. And now, he was just in my arms, trying to keep his breathing normal. I looked down at his face, to see that his eyes were glued to something, not leaving for a second. I wanted to let him get himself back together, but I needed to know what had just happened.

I shook him a little, and his eyes finally pulled away from what he was previously starring at, connecting with mine. "What happened, Vic?" I asked quietly, running my hands up and down his back. He shivered, but he stayed silent. I sighed, "Vic, I want to help, but I can't if I don't know what's wrong." I told him, still running my hands up and down his back.

It took a while, and his voice was so soft and not his normal voice that I hardly recognized it. "I-I didn't do it.. I wanted too.. I really, really wanted too.. But I didn't because I thought of you.." He said quietly. I felt my heart beat pick up. This is what I had been worried about all this time. Vic slipping up and hurting himself, and here we were, in the back of his car, him telling me that he wanted to hurt himself again. I wanted to know why, but I knew that was pushing it. I continued running my hands up and down his back, while he focused on making his breathing normal.

We sat in the back of his car, quiet for what felt hours before he finally spoke again. "How'd you know where I was? Or even that I was in trouble? Why aren't you in class?!" Vic said, sitting up from his place on the backseat. Looks like the normal Vic was back, I thought to myself, hiding a smile at all his questions.

"Ok, um, I didn't, I had a bad feeling about something, and that it had something to do with you so I started looking for you, and because I had a bad feeling." I explained, letting him pull me into a hug. I was partially surprised by the hug, but I definitely welcome it. I smiled into the hug even.

"You should be in class.." He muttered, but it didn't really sound like he believed it all that much anyways. I rolled my eyes, not saying anything to that comment. I just relaxed in the fact that Vic was okay, well, as okay as he could be.

"I know I know, but, I just couldn't deal with knowing something could be wrong with you.." I told him, pulling away from the hug so I could look him in the eyes when I said that. He sighed, but gave in with a small smile.

"Alright, but next time, please, focus on school for me." He asked. I wanted to argue with him about that, but I had a feeling he wasn't going to change his mind on that, and I didn't want to argue over something as small as this, so I nodded. "What time is it?" He muttered to himself, before pulling out his phone. I chuckled at him, smiling. Everything just felt so much more relaxed now.

"Why don't you text everyone and tell them to ditch and meet us at my house ok?" Vic asked. I nodded, pulling out my phone as he and I both got in the front seat of his car. I know that I should be happy now that I knew Vic was okay, but something else felt, well off.

After having texted everyone including their girlfriends, and letting them know they could just ditch and meet us at Vic's house, we relaxed for twenty or so minutes until they got here. I gave a grin at Vic, who sighed, pushing me off him as we were laid on the couch. I chuckled, and followed him.

When he opened the door, it revealed what seemed like an un happy group. Vic frowned letting them all in. I took note of how silent Justin was being and the lack of Lindsey. Vic gave me a questioning look, as I shrugged my shoulders. He sighed, closing the door behind as everyone came in. "What happened?" I asked them as soon as everyone else was in the main room, settling down. Matty came with Brittany, Jack and Alex came in together, Gabe and Sophia, Justin, Jack and Bentley, Nick and Jenna, Jaime and Jessica, and Mike and Alysha, I guess Tony and Erin wanted to stay in school.

Justin sighed, Mike sending him a sympathetic look. Ok, now I needed to know what happened. It involved my best friend being upset! I had to know. Justin stood up. "Lindsey's been cheating on me with Lee Malia." He said, his voice laced with how much that hurt him.

I frowned, what the hell? We all had thought that Lindsey was such a nice girl! She always seemed like that and she really seemed like she had loved Justin. Everyone else in the room seemed just as surprised as I did, including all of Vic's friends. Sure, they didn't know Lindsey or Justin that well, but I think they had seen just how much Justin had loved Lindsey. "I found them in one of the empty classrooms.." Justin said, before sitting back down in his previous spot. I sent Vic a look, telling he needed to do something to help this situation. But he just sent me a sad look.

I sighed, looking back at my best friend. "Don't worry about her. You'll find someone you deserve, someone whose better." I told him, though I wish I could say something more. Justin nodded, managing a smile. I looked around everyone else, and saw the guys sending Justin sympathetic looks, obviously they were all imaging how much it would hurt if their own girlfriends did that to them.

Alex cleared his throat standing up from his place in Jack's lap. "I say we go out and do some crazy shit." Alex said, a small smirk on his face. I chuckled at him, and he sent me a grin, before looking at everyone else, raising an eyebrow. "We ALL need a stress reliever." He said, directing the statement at, well everyone. I stood there, realizing how true that was. We had all been going through something lately, and we all needed to just kick back and relax.

"I'm in." Vic said, shrugging his shoulders as he looked at one of his best friends. Alex grinned, shooting him a smile. Eventually, everyone was standing up, ready for a reliever. Last but not least, Justin stood up with a smile.

"I could use a break." He said, shrugging his shoulders as he crossed his arms over his chest. I could see how much he was still upset, but Justin was smart enough to know when he needed to take a break from the world.

Alex grinned as Jack chuckled by his side. "Awesome! I suggest we do something fun.. Let's see.. It's almost spring time.. So that cancels out skiing.. And we could go swimming.." Alex listed off ideas out loud, making all of us chuckle at him. He rolled his eyes at us, "Swimming?" He asked with a grin. All of us shrugged, before nodding our heads. "Great! Everyone go home and get their swim trunks or suits! Meet back up here in 30 minutes!" Alex said, grinning as he grabbed Jack's hand and raced out of the house. We all chuckled, before everyone but Vic and Mike left to get their swimsuits.

(I know, there is still a lot of issues and all, but I felt like EVERYONE needed a break, so the next chapter and this are fillers. :) Hope you all enjoyed this chapter and this story so far! Comment, vote, like, love, favorite, and worry about the future of Kellic with me!)
