I'll Pick You Up When You're Down // Kellic

Chapter 16 - I Miss You

IPYUWYD - Ch. 16

*Kellin's POV*

I wake up somewhere unfamiliar with Vic not by my side.

That's when I realize I was at my moms house and Vic was in San Diego. Mental facepalm.

The clock read 12:24 and the sun was streaming through the blinds. But I noticed something on the bedside table that wasn't there when I went to sleep.

It was a note.

Kellin,

I would've woke you up but it looked like you needed your sleep.

I'm sorry for last night. There is nothing wrong with being gay but I was just a little surprised.

Don't worry if you wake up and don't find me, I just went to the store and Copelands with me too.

I made you breakfast (it's in the fridge)

Love, Mom

I take a deep breath and smile. I thought she hates me for being gay. At least that's all cleared up.

6 more days till Vic gets here I think as I get out of bed not even bothering to put a shirt on.

Sure enough when I open the fridge there was a bowl full of fruit.

My mom was convinced that I don't eat healthy on tour (which is "kinda" true) so whenever I was home she'd make me eat good. I don't really care though. As long as there is food in front of me I'm fine.

I make my way to the couch and turn on the TV and dig into my fruit.

•••

I hear the door slam closed signalling that my mom was back.

"Kellin?" She yells from the kitchen.

"Yes?" I call back.

"Nothing. Just wondering if you were up yet."

*Vic's POV*

I sulk down on the couch beside Mike. "Is something wrong?" He instantly says picking up on my mood.

"No." I lie.

"I can tell you're lying. You miss Kellin right?" He wraps his arm around me.

I sigh. "Ya."

"Why don't you go see him?" He suggests.

"But What would mama and papa think, I can't just ditch them."

Out of nowhere my mama appears in front of me causing me to jump in surprise. "Just go. We'll be fine here, go ahead and surprise him."

"Are you sure you're fine with this? I can stay here you know..."

"Shut up and go." She demands and I couldn't help but smile at her.

"Just do it Vic." Mike urges.

"Alright. Fine! I'll go!" I get up and hug them both and quickly head upstairs to pack my bags.

After a couple minutes I hear a knock on my door. "Come in!" I say.

It eerily squeaks open and in steps Papa. "Can I talk to you?"

I nod my head skeptically. Why does want to talk to me and why does he seem so serious?

"Sit down." He gestures to my bed and I oblige as he does the same.

"So, Tell me about your boyfriend."

Oh.

"Well. His name is Kellin Quinn and he sings in a band called Sleeping With Sirens. But you probably already knew that."

He nods his head and I continue.

"He was my best friend before I got up the courage to ask him out-"

He cuts me off. "How did you know that you loved him?"

I shrug. "I guess it was when his wife passed away-"

Once again I was cut off. "Wait?! He had a wife?"

"Ya. But he didn't love her, the only reason he stayed with her was because they had a kid. Can I continue now?" I ask.

He nods his head. "Good."

"Okay. So I knew I loved him when his wife passed away. He was worried about his daughter and I was always there comforting him and taking care of him and then eventually I started to notice how beautiful he was. I noticed how his smile was slightly lopsided and his hair was always perfectly messy, his laugh was infectious and I just like being around him because he makes me happy."

Papa laughs. "You've sure got it bad."

"I know." I groan and bury my head in my hands. "Are you okay with me leaving to go and stay with him?"

"Yes. I'm fine with it, but he has a kid right?" He asks.

"Ya. She's 5 months old."

"Are you sure your ready to take care of a baby? Do you even know how? They're a lot of work and this can't be taken lightly."

"I know. But I'll learn, and Kellin's mom is only an hour away. When you had me you probably didn't know what to do either." I explain.

He pats me on the back. "Good luck. And go so your boyfriend. I'll drive you to the airport."

I pull him into a tight hug. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"Everything."

•••

I wave goodbye to my papa and give my mama a kiss on the cheek.

Luckily for me when I went through security I didn't have any problems. So I got on the plane as soon as possible throwing my head back and pulling in my headphones, blasting up the music.
