Can We Create Something Beautiful?

Chapter Twenty-One

Chapter Twenty-One:

~Kellin's P.O.V. ~

Vic has been acting strange all week. Ever since that day that he gave Jaime and me a ride home, he's been distant. I didn't know what I did wrong. Maybe what I had done in the janitor's closet was moving too fast for him? But that wouldn't really make sense considering we've done that before. Maybe he's sick or something?

Or maybe he's just sick of me.

Maybe he's realized that I'm not the person he wants to be with. Maybe...maybe he's cheating on me.

That thought rang out through my mind loudly, but I silenced it. Vic wouldn't do that to me. I know him and I know that he wouldn't do that. Besides, the only person he's probably cheat with is Jaime and Jaime is straight...right?

I sighed and rested my head on my desk, looking out of the window boredly. The teacher was droning on and on about some stupid government crap. I just wanted to go home...I was ready for this day to be over. I really wanted to see Vic for a little while. He's been avoiding me all day and I'm still not sure why...but it was really hurting me. I know that he's going to be busy tonight and tomorrow with the guys, but I really wanted to talk to him before that about why he's been like this.

The bell rang and I jumped out of my seat, running out of the door. I was determined to catch Vic before he left. I shoved past students, looking for him in the hall, and I finally spotted him.

And he spotted me as well.

But as soon as his eyes caught mine, he looked away and walked the opposite direction. I tried to run and catch him, and I even followed him outside, but he just climbed into his car and drove off. I stood there in total shock, hurt filling my heart and tears clouding my eyes. Why was he doing this?

I turned to walk away, blinking the tears away, but someone stood in my way.

"Can you please move?" I sniffled, wiping at my eyes.

"You're Kellin, right?"

I looked up to see a guy with longish brown hair and brown eyes. I frowned and recognized him from a few of my classes. He moved here a year ago from the UK. He tends to keep to himself and I've never really seen him hang out with anyone.

"Yes, I am. Why do you ask?"

He stuck his hands in the pockets of his jeans and shrugged.

"My name's Oliver, but you can call me Oli. I've seen you around school. You're dating that Fuentes dude right?" He asked.

My eyes widened.

"H-How did you-"

He smirked.

"Trust me. It isn't hard to tell that you two are secretly dating. The only reason no one else has caught on is because everyone at this school is a fucking moron."

"What do you want from me?" I whispered nervously.

"I don't want anything from you, mate. But I do have some information about your...boyfriend." He said.

I raised a brow.

"What kind of information?"

"Well, let's say that I knew something about Fuentes and Preciado that you didn't. Let's also just say that they're keeping a pretty big secret from you. You'd want to know right?"

My heart dropped.

"What are you playing at, huh? You think you're funny?" I snapped.

He held up his hands in defeat.

"Calm down, Kell. No one is playing at anything. I'm simply offering to reveal the truth to you, although...you're not going to like it very much. Let's just say you don't know as much about Fuentes as you thought you did."

I froze and shook my head.

"N-No. Vic tells me everything, he doesn't lie to me. Why are you doing this?"

He sighed, pulling out a piece of paper as he shoved it into my hand.

"Look, I don't have all day to stand and argue. I have places to be. If you decide that you're tired of being lied to, give me a call."

He shrugged and walked away, leaving me staring at his retreating figure in shock. I stared at the paper guiltily, but shoved it into my pocket anyways.

Should I call him..?

I shook that thought from my head, walking home. Of course I'm not going to call him. I trust Vic completely, he would never lie to me. Besides, how would Oli even know anything about him? As far as I know, he and Vic have never even talked before. So why should I trust what he says at all?

I walked through my front door and immediately went upstairs, lying my stuff on my bed as I pulled out my homework. I had way too much, honestly. The teachers really just need to lay off, no wonder students are always stressed out of their mind.

The first thing I pulled out was government homework which wasn't hard at all, meaning I had it done in a matter of minutes. Then I had some stupid project from physics, which I was being forced to do all by myself since my partner is a complete asshole. But I guess I'm kind of used to being stuck doing projects on my own. Speaking of which, Vic had still yet to offer to practice and perfect on our music project.

I let out a sigh and closed my textbook, staring out the window. It had gotten dark, I would say that it was about nine right now. I looked at my phone and bit my lip. Would Vic be asleep? No, he's always awake...

I ignored my best judgement and picked up my phone, dialing Vic's number. It rang a few times, and then it cut to voicemail.

"Hey this is Vic, I'll get to you later."

I hung the phone up, staring at it. If his phone was off it would have went straight to voicemail, and if he just wasn't around to pick it up then it would have continued ringing. But no, it rang at least four times. Which means he saw that I called...and he declined the call.

I wanted to play it off as 'he was just busy', but I knew that wasn't true. Vic would have at least texted me after saying he was caught up with something, but yet I received nothing. He was truly and completely shutting me out. I didn't want to do this...and I wanted to trust Vic, I really did. But I felt like I couldn't anymore.

So I picked up my phone once again and dialed a new number.

"Hello? Oli? I wanna know what Vic is hiding..."
