Chapter 17- Bless Your Beautiful Heart

Vic's POV:

It had been a month since I officially moved in with Kellin. We were staying at his house, but we were looking at new houses in the area. A lot of money has been coming in from the restaurant, and Kellin officially had a job at a law firm now so he was getting more money too. I had been watching Audrey at the restaurant, and he did take days off and worked at home to be with her. But if we couldn't it usually was my parents, Jack, or Jaime and Tony watching her. She was so cute, she called Jack, Uncle Jack, and Tony and Jaime Uncle Tony and Uncle Jaime. She was the purest soul I've seen, and I love her so much.  I love him so much too, waking up next to my best friend has been so comforting to me. Kellin doesn't get nightmares anymore, he sleeps so soundly in my arms and it is the cutest thing in the world. We spent most nights either performing together or just cuddling on the couch with our daughter watching Disney movies. Kellin and I tried to have a date once a week, even if it was just a pillow fort in the living room with Audrey.

I woke up this morning, and I smiled at Kellin sound asleep on my chest as normal. Audrey must have snuck in because she was cuddled up against Kellin. I smiled and kissed each of their foreheads. I grabbed my phone and looked at houses once again. Kellin and I had been eyeing this house on the beach, right near the restaurant. I wanted to be near the beach, I loved seeing Kellin so happy just swimming in the ocean or sitting by the water. We were finally going to go look at it today and then sign the lease on the house. It was perfect for us, it had a large living room that Kellin could decorate, and our room was larger than the one right now. There were two other rooms, one for Audrey and if we decided to have more kids we could do that. Kellin did say he wanted Audrey to have siblings, and I wanted that too. It had a nice kitchen, and I know I would enjoy cooking in it for Kellin since he was not the best at cooking. There was a playroom for Audrey too, and a nice office for Kellin and I. It was perfect for our family. I got a text message from Mike, which I thought was weird since we hadn't talked in a while. I honestly thought he was mad at me because I was gay. It wasn't really a secret that he was homophobic, because Tony, Jaime, and I suspected it for a while. My parents did try to talk to him, but it didn't work out because of Mike's anger issues.

Mike: Hey Vic can we talk later, meet me by the place we used to hang out in high school

Vic: Yeah sure, I missed you, Mike. Maybe we could go somewhere else though? I don't want to hang out by an alley

Mike: Just do it Vic grow a pair see you in an hour.

I sighed, and I got up and began to get dressed. I was a little nervous since I know my brother is into drugs and parties and drinking. I hated it honestly, and I usually didn't drink unless it was with Kellin on a date. I put on a shirt and some plain blue jeans with my usual vans hat. I kissed Kellin and Audrey, and that was right when Kellin woke up.

"Mhm, where are you going?" He asked half asleep mumbling in his super hot morning voice.

"It's okay just meeting Mike baby," I smiled kissing him. " I will meet you at the house okay? If I run late and you like it you sign the papers love," I smile.

He nodded and fell back asleep instantly. I walked out of the house and drove to where Mike asked. I saw him there, and he looked different. I raised my eyebrow and walked toward him and he looked at me feeling completely guilty.

"Mike what the hell did you do this time," I sighed.

"I got back in the gang, I'm so sorry Vic but it has to be done for my final initiation," He sighed.

I looked at him confused, and then I saw that devilish smirk he got whenever he was about to do something terrible. I felt him punch me in my gut, and I wasn't expecting it at. I was smaller than him by a lot, and my vision started to blur. I must have hit my head on the brick wall. I feel the punches from my brother, who I used to love. That hurt more than the actual thing because he was my brother. He left me there, and I must have passed out because by the time I woke up it was colder. I coughed and saw blood in my hand. I was terrified, all I wanted right now was Kellin. My brother left me here to die. I coughed up blood and leaned back against the wall shivering. I saw cuts made by a switchblade all over my body, and I felt terrible. I could barely keep my eyes open, and I know my phone was in my car because I thought this was going to be quick. I started to cry, completely terrified as my body began to feel cold. I saw I was losing blood, all I wanted was just Kellin and Audrey. How could he do this to me?

Kellin's POV:

I went to look at the house with Audrey around five, and I was completely nervous because I hadn't heard from Vic all day. He promised me he would be here and he still wasn't. I did love the house though, I tried calling Vic but it went to voicemail which I thought was odd. I signed the papers, and I was very happy about the house we found for us. I was super pissed at Vic though, so I decided to get in the car and drive to his parent's house because he was most likely there with Mike, and if not I would go to Jaime and Tony. I drove there very flustered, and I guess Audrey picked up on my mood.

"Daddy why you so grumpy?" She asked me.

"Well, honey... Daddy hates when Vic doesn't answer his phone and daddy gets nervous so Daddy is looking for him," I said.

I did hate it when he didn't answer his phone, my brain instantly went to a worst-case scenario. I felt something off though this time, and I hated it completely. I got into his parent's driveway, and picked up Audrey, and knocked on the door. Vic's mom came to the door and answered smiling.

"Hey sweetheart, have you seen Vic?" She asks me.

I shook my head, "He didn't answer my call or come to sign the lease on our new house."

"He was with Mike, should I ask him where he is?" I ask.

She looked at me shocked and sighed. "Kellin Vic and Mike haven't been getting along again, this could be bad."

I looked at her panicked, and I held Audrey close. "What do you mean?"

"Mike has been up to something because he hasn't been over to see me or his father. He did that when he was in a gang, and he isn't the most accepting of Vic as you know, this could be very bad," She sighed walking me inside.

I felt my chest begin to feel heavy, as I sat down on the couch. I knew something was wrong, all I wanted was my Vic safe.

I called Jaime since I knew he would know what to do.

"What's up Kellin? Everything okay?" He asked me.

"No, I think Mike did something to Vic, he's not answering his calls and I'm scared," I said as a tear ran down my cheek.

Jaime was quiet, and I heard him and Tony whispering.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Mike definitely hurt him he has done shit like this before," He sighed.

"Kellin were gonna drive around and check for the normal spots he has left him. You stay calm, I will tell Jack to drive over. Where are you?" He asked me.

"I'm at Vic's parent's house," I mumbled holding Audrey close to me.

"Okay Kels, Jack will pick you up and take you home," He said to me.

I nodded, and he hung up the call and I started to cry. I forgot Audrey was becoming more aware of things now, and she just hugged me.

"Kellin what is going on?" His mom asked me.

"Fucking Mike probably beat up my Vic that is what is going on," I said grabbing my jacket and rushing to my car.

I felt bad for leaving his mom, I just was really scared and I felt unsafe now. I just wanted Jack to get here, I wanted Vic. Where was Vic?
