Is This Really Happening~? >Kellic<

Chapter 10~

~~~Kellin's POV~~~

I sat down on Vic's bed as he got ready to sleep. I examined his room and saw he had a guitar and a lot of notebooks. I reached over and grabbed a notebook. It was filled with lyrics. I read through a song and was amazed.

Vic got out of the bathroom and quickly ran over to me, snatching the notebook out of my hands.

"Nobody's supposed to see this.." Vic said looking slightly upset.

"Oh I'm really sorry, but I have to say what i read was really good." I said smiling up at him.

"Uh thanks." He seemed so shy about this.

Vic sat down beside me, he explained how his mother was usually grumpy when she got home so we had to stay quiet. I understood and made sure not to talk loudly.

Vic was laying down on his phone while i just sat there being consumed by thoughts. I started tracing patterns on Vic's thigh without realizing it. He flinched in pain and grunted. I gave him a confusing look, but then realized what i had seen earlier that night.

Scars covered every inch of his thigh, some i could tell were newer and some seemed like they had been there for years. I gave him a sad look and attempted to give him a hug.

He tried acting like there was no reason to act like this, but I decided to tell him I knew of his habits.

"I saw them earlier Vic, I know what you do to yourself." I said trying to choke back tears.

I wrapped my arms around him again and he did the same. He buried his head into my neck and warm tears ran down his face. I rubbed his back soothingly trying to calm him. It seemed to be working because he lifted his head from my shoulder and began speaking.

"I just cant take this Kells. You dont know what I have to deal with here. Its pure torture living here and I dont think I can take it much longer." Tears began falling again and I was speechless.

I never knew such a perfect human could be so broken inside. He seems okay at school, like he doesn't have a problem at all.

Vic buried his face in his pillow and screamed. I reached over and wrapped my arms around him once again, allowing him to cry into my shoulder. I ran my fingers through his hair and whispered everything would be okay. His breathing slowed down and he began softly snoring.

"Goodnight Vic, I-I think I love you." I placed a kiss on his forehead and drifted to sleep myself. I just wish i could stay like this forever.
