The Envy Of The Dead (KELLIC)

Chapter 8

I woke up, already smiling. Vic and I are basically dating now. Well, I didn't actually ask him what we are, but we've kissed several times, and I love-

"Kellin! Get your ass down here goddamnit!" I heard a voice screech from outside of my room, cutting off my thoughts. Oh jeez. What did I do now.

"Why the fuck is there a 75.00-dollar charge on my credit card for 6 CDs?" He shrieked. What? I thought I bought those with my money... maybe I selected the wrong card.

"Because Spotify isn't enough." I mumble to myself, jokingly.

"What was that?" He grumbled, glaring at me. I stayed silent. Phwack.

He looked at me angrily as I held my face. My cheek burns from where he smacked me. I ran to my room without another word to finish getting ready. After that I climbed out of my window to avoid my dad but discovered it was raining so briefly went back in to get a jacket and began my journey to school.

I was almost to school when my phone in my pocket started vibrating. I stopped in the middle of the rain getting soaked. I picked it up, reading Vic's name on the caller ID. 

"Vic?" I smiled.

"Hey Kellin." He spoke into the speaker.

"Why did you call?" I asked awkwardly.

"I was just gonna let you know that I won't be at school today, I have to take care of something." He told me.

Oh. I frowned at that.

"Oh, okay thanks for letting me know." I responded. I felt a little disheartened by that, considering I was looking forward to seeing him but it's okay.

"K thanks, bye." He said blandly and hung up. Okay then. I continued my walk to school.

---Vic's POV---

I sat in the car, bouncing my leg anxiously. Today was the day Mike was being released. Mike is my younger brother. To say that I didn't like Mike was an understatement.

 About a year ago Mike killed my boyfriend of 10 months, Nick Martin. I loved him dearly, but since I got all the looks instead of Mike, he never got a girlfriend, or boyfriend for that matter. Mike was jealous and suffocated Nick while we were asleep. It was horrible, but Mike went to juvie, and then a physiatrist which is where he is now.

Not only am I nervous to see him because he killed my boyfriend, but also because I have a new one that's even cuter. I just have to keep Kellin away from Mike at all times. Mike is coming to live with us, but his room isn't anywhere near mine.

The car came to a halt, and I looked at my mom nervously.

"Do I have to go in? I uttered.

"Listen baby I know it's hard, but he's changed. Plus, he wants to see you." She explained.

"I don't give a shit what he wants." I grumbled lowly. She glanced at me with a look saying, "you better stop with that attitude."

I walked behind my mom and dad as we entered the facility. I wasn't scared, though uncomfortable. My parents talked to some lady, and we walked off to a room to get Mike.

My parents walked into the room without knocking and I hesitated before following. On the bed in the corner of the small room lie Mike. He made brief eye contact before looking away. I noticed he now has short hair. When he first left, it was to his shoulders. He doesn't actually even have that much hair.

The tension in the room was incredibly awkward. I just stood there by the door while my mom and dad talked to each other. We were in there for like 45 minutes. I barely said a word.

When we were finally leaving, I flipped mike off when we got to the car. He just rolled his eyes. Of course I had to sit in the back seat with him. I decided to just put my headphones on and blast my music, drowning out whatever he had to say. 

When we got home, I went up to my room and became teary eyed. It was like seeing him again triggered me and brought me back to that day. I remember bawling my eyes out while smashing everything in my room. I remember crying into the stuffed animal he gifted me for my 16th birthday.

 I miss Nick a lot. I fell into a deep depression for about 10 months. It was only when my mom said I was getting really depressed and should find someone new that I began liking Kellin. 

Before I knew it I was crying hard. I collapsed onto the floor and sobbed. I tugged at my hair, a sobbing mess. I was pulling out small chunks of hair, but I didn't care at the moment. My skin felt itchy and my scalp burned. I pulled my blankets over my head, falling asleep under the covers.

---Kellin's POV---

I arrived at school soaked. The first four periods were pretty lonely, even though they usually are since I only have the first one with Vic. During lunch I sat alone with my earbuds in. I started drawing until I looked up and saw that there was someone sitting across from me.

"Uh, Hi. Kellin, right?" He mumbles, not making eye contact. I nod awkwardly. What do I do in this situation? 

"What's your name?" I questioned. He finally made eye contact with me. He had piercing blue eyes that were kind of terrifying.

"Justin." He smiled. He asked to see my drawing, so I showed him. He said it was good and asked to draw with me. I handed him a pen and we drew together. I kept my earbuds in though, because I wasn't about to listen to him yap in my ear for half an hour.

The bell rang after a little while and I let him keep my drawings before getting up and leaving. The rest of the day went by pretty smoothly. I found out that Justin is in my 7th period. After school I felt gloomy because of the mood of the day. 

I felt exhausted so I went into the bathroom to take a shower. I turned the water to the hottest setting before stripping off my clothes and stepping in. This has become a habit of mine, to take really hot showers to feel the burning on my skin. I didn't even clean myself, I only wanted the satisfaction of the feeling of fire.

I stepped out, looking in the mirror. I noticed my skin had patches of red and pink all over. I dried off and slipped on an oversized long sleeve with boxers.

 I decided I wanted to call Vic. Maybe he would make my mood better. I pressed the call button and waited for him to answer. 1 ring. 2 rings. 3 rings. The phone went to voicemail after the 8th ring. I called again. No answer. I felt even lower, so I just decided to go to bed before I did something I would regret.
