F*ck money we want love (Kellic)

19. In the end

Happy New Year's Eve

You know when youre a kid and you hear about how if you touch the stove you'll get burned.
You don't know what the burning is like exactly but maybe you've touched something that hurt less or you've just simply heard about it.
So you're curiously gets to you and you think you are prepared for the burning and that you can handle it but when your hand finally touches that flame you pull back and realize how stupid you were for not realizing just how bad you were going to hurt.

That's what this felt like. I always told myself that the day Catherine and I get "caught" that everything would work out for the best. But now that I was standing here with her, while a group of photographers were asking questions and flashing lights in our faces I realized just how much pain I was in. Sure, I knew it would suck, and I knew I had felt some kind of heartbreak before but this.. This was surreal.
I felt sick and I felt heart broken and I wanted to run away and cry, but I brought this upon myself and there was no going back. So I stood there, with no terror on my face, only a blank look.

I was going to loose the love of my life.

"Kellin please say something! How long have you and Catherine been seeing each other." A black female with a camera man behind her asked, shoving the microphone in my face. Can I not answer? Because if Vic sees it he will surely hate me.

Catherine grabs my hand and puts on a smile. "we've been seeing each other for more than four months now." She says. Oh god no.

"And Kellin, how do you think your parents will feel about this relationship?" A balding white man with a camera asks.

I knew I had to speak. "Uhm I hope they'll be supportive of me and my... My new love." I say nervously. Oh my fucking hell why did I just say that!

"And you Catherine, how do you feel about yours and Kellin's relationship?" A tiny Hispanic lady asks. Fuck what if Vic is watching this right now.

"We've been in love for a while now. It was just a fast pace relationship and we would have come clean soon but clearly you've found us first." She laughs, she had such a fake camera charm.

"So what do you think this relationship is coming two next? Do you think you'll have to take any drastic measures for your parents to accept this. " the First Lady asked again. I knew what my answer has to be.

"If my parents won't expect it...Catherine ...Catherine and I will have no problem running away and getting married." I say and Catherine looks at me, her smile only getting wider. She was so pleased with this, the photographers were so pleased, my parents were probably pleased, hell the fangirls at home who were gonna see this were gonna be pleased but what about me? I hated every second of this and it was all happening too fast.

"We will be going now." I said and grabbed Catherine's hand and used my other to shield my face. I was going at a fast pace but Catherine kept looking back at them with a smile hoping too answer more questions.

I got in the car and so did she as I frantically drove home, taking a different path than the one we came to lose the crowd.

"Oh god kelly that was so exciting! Now people finally know how much we care for each other and you can show me off like the trophy girlfriend and," she stopped and sighed "well just have a happy rich life."

"Yes Catherine I'm sure we will." I said, I was so out of it but she didn't even notice. She planted a kiss on my lips and as soon as she was out of the car I drove home probably the fastest I've ever driven in my life.

I got to my house and quickly opened the door.

"Kellin that was great! I'm so proud of you, you put on this whole "I have no idea what's going on act it was perfect"" my dad said as I burst into the room.
