Without You, There is No Me

Chapter 3: Not What it Seems

~Kellin's POV~
Sunday morning I woke up to an empty bed. I haven't woken up without Katelynn next to me in years. I almost always wake up before her, she's lazy in the mornings. I walk down to my living room to find Vic Fuentes sleeping on my couch. I forgot he stayed, so I decided to not wake him. I start a pot of coffee, and he practically jumped at the first sent of coffee. "You're making coffee"
"Oh that's what I'm doing? Shit, I was trying to make pancakes." He laughed a laugh that sounded more like pity than humor. "Well I need a cup. I'm either hungover or its 6 A.M."
"6:34 actually. You should be wide awake. You didn't even drink- you could've driven yourself home."
"But why drive home when you could sleep on a couch owned by Kellin Quinn."
"Yeah, its probably going to be the only thing she doesn't take in the divorce." Yeah, Katelynn's deciding to divorce me. She said she's had a suspicion I've been cheating on her for a while and she "can't live in fear her husband is cheating". I didn't think it could end that way, but when she came over when I was sleeping and left the divorce papers on the table. Great way to start your morning. "Haven't taken off your ring yet, huh?"
"You know what I should." And just like that, I stood up and chucked the ring out the door. The golden band flew across the sky, landing in grass somewhere. Vic's face looked paniced, "Kellin, you could've re sold that ring! At least get something back from that relationship." I didn't want any reminder or profit off this, I just wanted it to disappear. Like our love. This love was out of control, 3-2-1 where did it go? I turned back to the kitchen, avoiding a conversation about the ring and said, "Vic, you need some coffee."
"I should come over here for coffee more often."
"Or you can make your own coffee... You are the lead singer of the most popular sceamo band out there." It was weird admitting Vic was better than me at something. That's sounded really stuck up. Have you ever had one of those moments when you just do something. Your brain doesn't even think of what's gonna happen next, it just demands your body to do it? I'm pretty sure everyone has. I had one of those moments then and there on the couch. I moved in closer to him, resting my cheek on his broad shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me in closer to him. I've never felt more at home than in his arms. I looked up and him, not expecting him to be looking back down to me, his eyes meeting mine. Then, almost as if on cue, he kissed me. I kissed him back and that lasted a few seconds, neither of us feeling the need to deepen the kiss. The last thing I remember was falling asleep in his arms.
I woke up on top of Vic. I bet millions of girls around the world would do anything to be me right now. He was still asleep, his right arm still around me. I took a moment just to appreciate what was happening. Just to enjoy the moment. Then, I saw something sitting on the dining room table, a pink envelope. The same stationery Katelynn uses.
The rose colored envelope wasn't addressed, didn't even have anyone's name on it. I assumed it was for me. I tore open the envelope which contained the following letter:
Dear Kellin,
I stopped by to grab a shirt of mine. I'll be back to get the remains of my stuff at a later date. I saw your car outside, but you didn't answer when I knocked. So, I used my key. Feel free to get the locks switched. I will always love you, we just can't be together anymore. The anxiety was tearing me apart. Oh, my instinct was right. When I walked in, you and Vic were all cuddled up on my couch. Don't worry... You can keep the couch now. God knows what kind of stains are on there now... I hope you live the lifetime of happiness we were supposed to live together with him. Goodbye, Kellin.
XOXO,
Katelynn
She always signs off her letters that way. Its actually sorta ironic she signed off our relationship that way, too.

Hola! It frustrates me that my first chapter had 28 views and the second one had 2. Maybe this one won't have any. That's okay though. I'm kinda just writing this for myself and my friend (you know who you are) who insists I continue this story. So, I will whether it gets views or not.
Kisses,
