Change of Fate (Kellic)

Chapter 5

Vics POV

I sit with a shaking drenched Kellin in my lap. I need to get him home and warmed up but he just cries gently into my shoulder, i don't think he realised he was even crying but i just held him tighter.

After a little while he falls asleep so i lift him up and carry him back to my place, leaving the empty bottle of vodka somewhere in the lake. Its dark out now and i know that mamma and dad would be pissed because dinner was 15 minutes ago but i'm sure once they see the mess that Kellins in they'll understand. 

I fumble with the door because i'm holding Kellin but he doesn't even stir. At one point in the walk i had to check his pale neck for a pulse i got that worried, i think its just because of all the alcohol he had. As soon as i walk through the door everyone turns to look at me with angry expressions on their faces but they only last for a few seconds then it turns into one of concern and complete worry.

"Vic who's this? whats happened? oh my god he's so cold and bleeding, holy shit!" Mamma says stroking his black wet hair, which was plastered to his face, off of his forehead and cheeks to take a good look.

Dad comes over to me with piles of blankets and tells me to put him on the sofa. Dad lays the blankets out on the sofa then i put Kellin in them so it makes it easier to wrap around him. I sit next to him and pull him into my lap once again.

"Vic who is he? What happened?" My dad asks, sounding nothing but concerned.
"Are those strangle marks?!" Mamma asks frantically and to be honest i noticed them and they have freaked me the fuck out too.

"This is Kellin, he goes to school with me and I've had this crush on him for ages. I only started talking to him today but I've noticed ever since he's moved here he'd come into school bruised and he's always alone and depressed looking. Guys I'm really worried about him. And tonight i was in the park like usual when he came and was so drunk he stumbled into the lake so i pulled him out and he just sat in my lap not saying anything and cried silently. I want to help him." Wow i really let all that out. That feels good to get out to be honest, and i know they'll understand because i have the best family in the world.

"okay baby look we'll keep him here until he wakes up and then we'll talk to him. But from the looks and sounds of what you're saying you do understand that something bad may be happening to him, I'm not saying it is but I'm also not saying it isn't, ok?" Mamma expresses whilst lifting up Kellins shirt examining his bruised stomach.

"Of course Mamma, thank you" i say as i kiss her cheek. My dad returns with a bunch of ice and cream for his cuts on his face. We don't want to examine his whole body because that'd be violating him, but the thing thats caught everyones eyes ever since i first brought him into the house is the strangle marks. After dad helps put cream on the cuts on his face and giving me ice to hold against him he moves over to his chair on the other side of the living room and we all silently watch tv.

After about 2 hours of tv and mike curled up asleep in mammas lap Kellin starts to stir. His eyes flutter open and when he sees me he sits up in shock, but as soon as he does he screams in pain. Everyone turns to look at him, including mike who woke because of it, and sees him clutching his chest/rib area breathing deeply.

Mamma rushes over and kneels on the floor besides him.
"Kellin are you okay? what happened?" she asks, her whole focus on him.
Kellin looks up at me with these terrified eyes and starts to get up off my lap, but when he does he screams again in pain and falls to the floor with his breathing unsteady.

We all kneel beside him and dad lifts up his shirt. We start to see his purple, blue and black bruising on his ribs and some have got to be broken. How could someone do this to him, he's so perfect.

Kellin swats dads hand away and pulls his shirt down, he sits up but mamma refuses to let him stand. He starts to cry so i pull him into my chest for a hug and he just doesn't even fight anymore. Oh god this is horrible to see, his cries are shaking his whole body and all i want to do is take this pain away from him. And i will.

"please j-just let me d-die" he sobs out. Did he really just say that? maybe mamma was right, something really bad is going on here. We all exchange looks while kellin begs to die.
"h-help me p-please" he cries. This is just heartbreaking seeing him like this, and I'm pretty sure everyone else agrees.

Mamma crawls over to me and whispers for me to take him upstairs and put him straight in my bed, seeing as he's dried off just take him to calm down and keep an eye on him. I nod and pick Kellin up, who's still wrapped in blankets, and carry him up to my room. I lay him on my bed, take his shoes off, take my shoes and jeans off and get into bed next to him. He instantly latches onto me and curls into a ball half on/half off of me with his head on my chest.

"Kells you're going to be alright" He just cries harder. "Kellin listen to me, i'm going to make everything better for you, alright?" he just nods and calms down ever so slightly. Seconds later i hear steady breathing coming from the beautiful boy wrapped up in my arms, so i kiss the top of his head and snuggle into him myself, drifting off into a worry filled slumber.
