Fate (Kellic Quentes)

Ch.3

Vic's POV

We pull up to a big white house. It was one of those neighbor hoods were your house looks the same and the lawn is always nice.

What are we doing here? "Come on!" Kellin says with the biggest smile on his face as he opens up my door for me. I hop out and he drags me to the door.

*knock knock*

He knocks on the door. After about 10 seconds the door swings open revealing a young women with a sleeping baby cradled in her arms. "Kellin! So glad you could come pick Copeland up." She says.

They hug and he kisses her cheek. What? "No problem. I always love to see my baby girl." He says.

She smiles. "She always loves to see you." She hands him a bag. "Regular bag that I always give you. Clothes, socks, diapers, milk, bottle. You got it." He takes it and slings it over his shoulder. She looks over at me. "And who are you?" She asks with a big smile.

I smile back. I'm totally jealous of her... "This is Vic. He's renting out my other room." Kellin answers for me.

She smiles and holds out her hand. I take it and we shake. "I'm Katelynn Quinn. Well I suppose I'm not anymore." She explains. Wait! What? I'm so confused. "Anyways. You will be seeing a lot of me so might as well warm up to me." She says sweetly. "Here." She hands Kellin the baby.

"Well we should get going." Kellin says. Katelynn nods. "Bye Kat." He says and places a short little peck on her lips. Now I'm pissed! Is that his fucking girlfriend or something?!

She says by and we head out the door and into the car. Kellin installs a car seat for the baby and we head off. "What do you think?" He asks after about 5 minutes of silence.

I was completely pissed. "About what?" I ask.

I look at him. He has a big grin on his face. "About katelynn." He answers.

I bite my lips so I don't explode. "Is she your girlfriend?" I say a little to harshly.

His smile wipes right off his face. "No. She is the mother of my baby. We are divorced. We still have a good friendship though." He says back. He keeps his eyes on the road.

I look at the baby. She is sleeping peacefully in her seat. "Well I just assu-" I started to say but he cuts me off.

"Exactly, you assumed!" He shouts. I close my eyes. I've always hated yelling. It's the reason I ran away in the first place when I was 16. I think he could tell that I was uneasy. "I'm sorry Vic.." He says.

I look at him and smile slightly. "It's fine." I say. He smiles back.

"We divorced after Copeland was born." He admits.

I look at Copeland. She is a beautiful baby. "Why?" I ask. It's silent for a while. "I'm sorry. That was a rude thing for me to ask." I say.

He chuckles. "I told her I was gay." He says.

I'm shocked! I kind of guessed he liked boys since our previous morning events but still, I'm shocked. "Oh." Is all I could say.

Kellin's POV

"Oh." Vic says as we pull into the driveway to our apartment. I park the car then unbuckle Copeland. She stirs in my arms as her beautiful eyes flutter open. "Hi pumpkin." I say and kiss her forehead. I look over to see Vic looking at us with an adorable smile on his face.

I'm still not over this morning. It was perfect. I've never felt someone so...well I won't get into the details but really...

He comes over and takes the bag from me and flings it over his shoulder. He unlocks the door for me and we step in. I place Copeland in a little chair that Katelynn gave me after we split up.
