My Journal of Letters

Chapter-16

It's been two days since I got out of the hospital and all was well. I was in the library reading "The Road" during lunch when I saw a shadow move infront of me.

"What do you want Mike?" I asked not even looking up.

"Mike? Who's that Bostwick your boyfriend?" I heard a feminine voice say. Wait I know that voice...

"Taylor?" I smiled looking up to see her smiling down at me. Her hair was longer than I remember and blonder too. Infact her hole style changed. She was wearing black and she had dark sunglasses on that covered her eyes.

"What's up fucker!" She said pulling me up for a hug. I hugged her back but I was still stunned at how much she's changed. "I knew you would be here I just didn't know what hour!God I missed you!" She sat across from me and took her glasses off.

"Holy shit you changed!" I said still stunned.

"Yeah I've evolved form God's sweet little princess to the Devil's sex wife." She laughed and then I hit me.

"Wait, why are you here?" I asked not intending it'd sound rude.

"Wow, hold in the enthusiasm will you." She huffed sarcasticly. "My dad moved us back after my mom's punk ass cheated on him with my softball coach. I cought her sucking him off one day I got home early from school so I took a picture and showed my dad." She laughed half heartedly.

"Oh... I'm sorry T." I said holding her hand.

"Naah its cool I'm glad I'm back out here! I missed you a shit tone! You never text me or call, well I guess that's partly my fault cuz I got a new phone, but still you didn't even try and find me on Facebook?" She laughed. I shook my head and laughed at her rambling.

"I don't have a Facebook or that other stuff." I said. She nodded as she took the book from my hands.

"How's your mom?" She asked pulling her hair back in to a ponytail.

"She's been good she's daiting one of her coworkers. He's a good guy I've known him since ninth grade, his name is Markos but we call him Mark." I smiled

"Is he Mexican?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Greek, he's pretty cute if you ask me." I said with a sly smile.

"Who's cute?" I heard Vic's voice pop from behind me. My eyes widened a little but a smile formed nonetheless.

"Peter Pan." I said looking back at him. Vic smiled and looked across the table toward Taylor and smiled.

"Hi I'm Vic. Was he talking about his step dad?" He said sitting down next to us.

"Taylor and yes he was." An amused smile played on her lips as she looked between the two of us.

"No kisses for you as punishment. I'm the only one that's cute." He scolded. My eyes widened in fear because him taking away my kisses is like taking water away from the world. I loved his kisses I want to have them right before I leave.

"But those are mine!" I wined completely ignoring Tay's laughing. Vic gave me a smirk and turned to Taylor.

"So, as you can tell I'm the boyfriend. And you are?" He chuckled nicely.

"I'm his bestfriend since the fourth grade."

"Bestfriend huh?... How come I never heard of you before?" He asked suspiciously stroking his chin.

"Again that's my fault. I moved and Kellin and I lost touch." She smiled half heartedly. That's how the rest of the lunch went, Tay and I catching up while Vic got to know her and Tay got to know him.

"And I kid you not we where rolling around the store on our skateboards and Kellin was singing at the top of his lungs, 'R-E-S-P-E-C-T! FIND OUT WHAT IT MEANS TO ME!' And the Walmart lady stopped us and gave us a dirty look and he shot one back saying, 'Bitch! If you can't hang then leave!'." Tay laughed doing an exact impression of me when I did that.

"No way. He did the neck roll and everything?" Vic laughed in disbelief while waiting for me to answer.

"Y-yeah I went full on flamer. But you forgot the 'Z-snap'." I laughed out. They both laughed and for the first time I was happy, happy that I can just hang out normaly with my bestfriend and boyfriend and just remember the good times Tay and I had. "Hey we should get going. The bell is about to ring and I want to get to the locker room and change before every one gets there." I said putting my hand on Vic's knee.

"Okay, It was nice meeting you Taylor." Vic said standing up. "You guys should come over this weekend. We have a gig and I wanted to know if you wanted to come." He smiled. I nodded and looked at Tay and saw her smile and nod too.

"Yea I'm in." She said.

"Cool, well, we'll see you later bye." He smiled taking my hand in his.

"Bye T!" I called back as we stared moving.

"She seems nice." He smiled as we walked in to the locker room.

"Yea she's a sweetheart." I said wholeheartedly. We got changed and Vic didn't question why I went into the stall to change because he knows how I feel about this still. While I was getting dressed I heard the familiar voices of Zack and Rian enter the locker room.

"Hey faggy boy!" I heard Zack say with a laugh.

"Go away man. I've just about had enough of everyone's homophobic jokes 'cause their really fucking annoying." Vic said with a sigh. I qickly pulled up my sweats and layed on the stall floor to see what was going on. Zack rolled his head back and laughed as Rian grabbed Vic from behind.

"Let's see you get out of this Military boy." Rian said as he pushed Vic's arms back and up so he was bent over.

As if remembering I was still there, Vic turned to where I was and our eyes locked momentarily before he mouthed, "stay there." I nodded breathing heavily trying to stop the tears from falling.

"Let's see if we can beat the gay out of him." Zack laughed as he uppercut Vic in the stomach. He let out a cough/groan and Zack hit him again in the face. I let out little wimpers of fear every time he got hit because I was scared to even move, to scared of what they would do to me if I tryed and helped him.

"Alright, I'm bored, let's go." I heard Rain say and He dropped Vic to the ground.

"Later Vic." Zack laughed walking out with Rian. As soon as they left I jumped off the floor and ran out the stall towards Vic. The sight infront of me was enough to make me cry harder.

"Vic! I-I'm sorry! I waned to help but I couldn't move! I feel so-"

"Hey! Look at me! You didn't do anything wrong, okay." He said wiping tears from my face. I opened my eyes and quickly closed them when I saw his face. He had blood running from his nose and lip. "Kell, babe, look at me. I'm fine okay. You did nothing wrong, I told you to stay in the stall. I didn't want you to be out here, I didn't want you to get hurt. You helped me by listening to me." He said. I nodded while opening me eyes to look at him once more.

"I wanted to help but I froze." I managed to choke out.

"I know you did but I told you to stay, okay. You didn't do anything wrong, I promise." He held my face and gave me a soft kiss on the for head. "Help me up so I can wash this blood off." He smiled.

I did as I was told and once he was up he told me to finish changing.
