I stand up and walk towards the bunk area. Welp, Im GUESSING its the bunk area. Yep, defimitely the bunk area! I stand in the doorway and I can hear someone crying. It breaks my heart. I walk through and see all the bunks are empty with their curtains open, apart from I guess where Kellin is sleeping. I sit on the bunk opposite that one and clear my throat.
"Kellin?" I ask quietly.
He sniffles "What?" I try not to faint St the sound of his voice.
I take a deep breath "Justin told me what happened and I want you to know that it wont go to plan, ok? You're a BRILLIANT dad to Copeland, Katelynne cant use anything against you unless you've physically hit her, which I dont think you have because you're such a good person. She cant get complete custody without a reason why you SHOULDNT see Copeland, and she doesnt have one. You WILL see your daughter again Kellin, I can promise you that. If not then feel free to track me down, kidnap me again and beat the living shit out of me. I know its hard to go through something like this and I know all you ever wanted was a good life for Copeland. I know you feel like she'll grow up with a broken family, but chances are that isnt true, my parents divorced, I would know."
Kellin sniffles "Wh-What was it like for you? Y-Your parents divorcing I mean."
I sigh "Well I was 8 at the time, so I kind of understood what was going on. Copeland is a lot younger than I was, so it should be easier for her. It hurt me of course, but thats only because I understood it. My mother re-married a lovely man, my dad married a complete bitch who mentally and verbally abused me throughout my teenage years, but at least there was SOMETHING positive there. Copeland wont go through that, I know that because Katelynne obviously has great taste in guys after marrying you and you'd never date a woman that Copeland didnt like, unlike my father."
"I-Im sorry you had to go through that." Kellin says.
I shake my head "Dont be, it shaped the person I am today. And though I may wish I was someone else, someone stronger, smarter, wiser, someone to take this broken heart and make it new now!" I sing before shaking my head "Sorry, sorry, I had to."
Kellin laughs "You know the words to that song?"
I nod frantically "Hell yeah! But I really do wish I was someone else. I generally just wish I was pretty, but hey, unless I wanna be put under for several hours I guess I just gotta live with it!"
Kellin laughs "Im sure you're beautiful."
I scoff "Yeah right!"
"Well you sound beautiful. Your personality I mean-not your voice-Im not creepy-Fuck!" Kellin says.
I giggle "Dont worry, my personality is probably the only thing thats KIND OF attractive about me? I dunno, haha!"
Kellin pulls back his curtain and smiles at me "No, you're absolutely beautiful."
I blush and cover my face with my hands "Oh my god stahp you're turning me all giggly and shit!"
Kellin laughs "Its adorable as fuck, please continue!"
I take my hands away and roll my eyes, changing the subject "Are you alright now dude?"
He nods "I dont feel like complete shit anymore, thanks to you, but I dont know what its gonna be like when you leave." He sighs.
I shrug "Well the guys kidnapped me so Im not leaving until they set me free."
Kellin smiles slightly "I dont know if I can perform in this state either."
I nod "Yes you can! You have to show Katelynne what she's missing! Make Copeland proud! There are people who will be in that crowd that are going through shit too and you're helping them! I bet you'll find that performing will make you feel better too." I wink at him.
"Are you sure? I dont know..." Kellin says.
I reach over and take his hand in mine, squeezing it reassuringly "Positive, you'll do great Kellin, and if the guys havent released me I shall still be there, waiting backstage as your own personal jester!" I stick my tongue out at him and he laughs.
"Thanks, you're awesome, whats your name? Sorry I didnt ask before..." He trails off.
I shake my head "No problem, my name's Jennifer, feel free to confuse me with Jennifer Parker from Back To The Future because she's pretty and from a legendary movie, but you can call me Jenny!"
Kellin laughs "Ok, Jenny! I guess Im performing then! I'll get you backstage passes and stuff because I dont want you to leave yet."
I smile at him "I dont want to leave, so thats great, thanks man!"
He laughs "No problem." He slides out of his bunk and stands up, I stand up too. He smiles down at me "Awh, you're so small!"
I roll my eyes "Great observation skills! Being short has its upsides, because when I do a certain something Im the perfect height!"
He raises an eyebrow "When you do what?"
And I hug him, wrapping my arms around his middle. "This."
Kellin wraps his arms around me and sighs with relief "Thank you, I need hugs more than ever."
I giggle "Is that a request for hugs whenever its possible to hug?"
He smiles "Maaaaybe!"
I laugh "Welp, guess Im giving you as many hugs as possible! Now, go get your ass showered and ready for the concert, I'll be waiting on the couch!" I wink at him and pull away, running to sit on the couch.
