The Meet [Jaime Preciado] [Book 3]

[14] Breaking Points

Lily

It was midnight when we got back to the bus. Everyone was exhausted, but not enough so that they wanted to go straight to bed. Instead, we all piled into the bus and decided on a movie night.

Everyone was bickering over what movie to watch first. Since I obviously had everyone around my finger, I was the tie breaker between Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1 first, of course) or one of the Star Wars movies.

Harry Potter for the win.

The boys got settled in the back lounge with blankets and food. Even though Vic and Tony didn't want to watch Harry Potter, they were just as engrossed in the film as the other two boys were.

A knock came from the bus door, and since I was the most accessible person to reach the door, I jumped up to get it. I opened it outward and Kellin tug me out of the bus.

"What?" I whispered, his hand still holding mine. He pulled me into a huge hug and I swear to God he started to cry. It wasn't just one of those fake cries or one of those I'm being bullied by my band mates so I'm gonna whine about it to my little sister cries.

His heart hurt so much that it made him cry.

"Hey, Kell," I said softly, being dragged down to the pavement under his weight. Kellin sat us down with me in his lap, holding onto me for dear life.

Although his voice cracked and sounded scratchy, he spluttered out, "She's really gone."

I held onto my big brother tightly, letting him cry on me. He hasn't done this since his first love broke his heart when he was about seventeen. Kellin is always the stable one; he's my rock. I never thought this would happen again.

We must've been out here for a while, because the guys sent Vic outside to see what was going on. He peered out and looked at us. I saw his eyes fill up with pain at the sight of Kellin, lost and broken.
