Until It Burns You (Kellic)

Chapter Eighteen

Super late update, sorryyy

Two days. It's only been two days and I already feel myself going completely mad. All I've done is stay in bed and eat my weight in chocolate. I don't even like chocolate. And I suppose I'm making this harder for myself because I do have friends who have been ringing up my phone, asking if I want to go out but I just don't want to. I choose to stay here rather than making any effort to get out of this very bed, make myself presentable, and go out. And I've been texting Kellin, but not as much as I'd like to. He's always too busy or with Katelynne. But it's not like I expected more.

I lay in bed watching my ceiling fan turn. I have my stereo on, playing a song that I can't be bothered to figure out. Right now I'd actually rather be in a cramped up bus, at least there you don't have enough space for your thoughts to invade, And here, here there is so much space. They bounce off these walls and come back to hit me with so much more force. A force far greater than me.

As I lay here and throw myself a pity party, my doorbell rings. In my mind I've already gotten up and answered the door, just to close the door on the stranger's face and tell them to go away, but in reality I'm still here and haven't moved. It rings again and groan loudly whilst finally rolling myself out of bed. I don't even check who it is before hand, I just unlock the door and swing it open. When it's open, I don't hesitate to let out the groan from the back of my throat.

"Nice to see you too." The dolled up redhead at my doorstep comments with attitude.

I roll my eyes and step back inside, leaving the door open so she could follow.

"You look like shit." She said as she followed me into the living room-as if I didn't already know.

"Thanks." I say and fake a smile.

"Sorry." She apologies while we both take a seat on the sofa.

"Why are you here Dani?" I ask bluntly. I guess Kellin's ways are rubbing off on me.

"What? Is there like some rule that says ex's can't hang out, or be friends?" She asked, batting her eyes like she does whenever she wants something.

I rise my eyebrows at her "No, but when the ex says something about me sucking dick at a club with all my friends then yeah, I think I have the right to hesitate in accepting your "friendship"." I banter while putting air quotes around the word "Friend".

"Alright, chill." She said, putting her arms out. "Look, I understand you're upset but you have to look at it in perspective as well. My boyfriend for over a year is suddenly gay."

I quirk an eyebrow because I never exactly told her I was gay.

"I saw that video of you and Kellin kissing on stage." She answered my invoiced question.

"But we we're already broken up." I argued.

"I still had feelings for you." She said.

How the hell is she doing this? How has she come into my house and somehow found a way to make this seem like my fault. We were both on a rocky patch and I think we both knew our relationship wasn't working out, and she was the one who broke up with me in the first place.

"So what, you came here to throw it in my face?" I asked.

"No, I came here because you owe me." She said. I wanted to laugh in her face because I don't owe her anything. I squinted my eyes and waited for her to explain. I wanted to know what she wanted from me.

"Two grand." She said with a devilish grin.

"What?"

"I want two grand. Come on Vic, I know you have money." She said and my jaw dropped. Is that seriously why she came over here? For money? The thing is, this isn't the first time. I used to give her money here and there all the time because I was always out and busy and I felt so bad but now, now I'm not ever here boyfriend and she has her own money.
