Darling, you'll be okay

A/N: For some reason Wattpad is being...well, Wattpad. It's changed around the order of this chapter and the author's note I published before it. The A/N is a bit irrelevant now, because I've published this chapter, but I thought Id tell you that this chapter and the author's note after it are in reverse order to what they should be so so don't get confused at what it says. Read the authors note before this chapter or don't read it at all :) thanks, sorry for the confusion.

Vic's POV:

I approached the bleachers and ducked under the seats so I could stand right infront of him. He raised his head until he could see me standing there. Come on Vic, don't let your feelings get in the way now. He needs your help and you need his, so just say something already.

I opened my mouth to speak. My breath wobbling as I realised I was about to talk to the boy of my dreams..."H-hi, um. Kellin? It's, um, it's Kellin right?" I stuttered. For fuck sake Vic, is that all you could say? Really? You better not fuck this up!

There was a moment of silence as he moved his head to look up to me. Oh, I missed looking at his face. His perfect face. It was so beautiful, even when it was damp with tears and red from where he'd been crying. All I wanted to do was to kneel down and wipe those tears away and make him feel that everything is okay. But I couldn't do that. All I could do was just about say hello. Ive never felt so nervous in my life.

Our eyes connected. My heart froze when my gaze locked with his. His eyes were wet from the tears, still threatening to fall. As soon as he saw me stood infront of him, he went silent. His rapid breaths stopped, along with my heart beat.

We said nothing. I just stood there looking at him, as he looked at me, for what could have been hours, but was merely seconds. Whenever I saw this boy, it felt as though I had known him my entire life; even though I only found out his name a few minutes ago.

All of a sudden our gaze was broken when he gasped for air; I guess he held his breath when he went silent. My face burned red from embarrassment as I realised I'd been staring at him, saying nothing at all.

"I'm Vic," I chocked on the words as I tried to break the silence. "I, um, I'm new. As you can probably tell, you know, me being your new neighbor and classmate." For fuck sake Vic, why do you always ramble when you're nervous? The situation's bad enough as it is, there's no need for you to put this guy off you even more by talking too much.

"Um, yeah. Hi, I'm Kellin" The boy replied, still not making eye contact with me. He was trying to shift his eyes anywhere but on me, it was kind of cute, but he failed. He glanced back at me, his face turning a dark shade of red as he saw me looking back at him, before redirecting his eyes to the ground. Now we both had crimson faces, jeez, I never thought someone could have this effect on me, let alone someone I barely knew.

"You, um...you saw them didn't you?" he muttered, barely a whisper.

***Kellin's POV:***

I heard footsteps infront of me. I stopped everything, my breath, my tears, even blinking. I slowly moved my head up to see who had followed me out here.

"H-hi, um. Kellin? It's, um, it's Kellin right?" He said.

I moved my head until I could see this person's feet. I slowly maneuvered my eyes up their legs until I was looking at his face. I froze. It was him. How did he follow me out here? Why did he follow me out here? He was the reason I was in this mess in the first place. I mean I fainted because of him for God's sake, and now he's here. Great.

Our eyes connected. My heart stopped as his gaze locked with mine. Neither of us said anything, we both just stayed there staring at eachother. I guess he was as surprised to see me here as I was.
