Poison (Jc Caylen fanfiction)

Chapter 35

(Kian's Pov)

I watch as the front door opens, revealing Ricky and someone behind him... but I can't tell who it is. When Ricky stepped aside, I nearly crapped myself. There Jc was, standing there awkwardly. I don't want to see him.... he broke me and Melody apart. Something came over me and I ended up walking towards him. I don't know what was going through my mind, but I literally punched him in the face. I took a step back and watched as Ricky held back a snicker. Jc wiped the corner of his mouth and cleared his throat. "I deserve that." He shrugs.

Without warning, Jc stepped forward and engulfed me in an unwanted hug. "Dude." I mutter, squirming around. Finally I gave in, and hugged him back. "I still fucking hate you." I say as we hug. Ricky's left standing to the side awkwardly. I step away from the hug and stare at the floor. "Why did you bring Jc over?" I ask slightly disappointed. "Because Kian, I know you aren't eating. The only person that I know can help you, happens to be your best friend." His lisp ringing out into the room. "There's no way that's gonna work, Ricky." I chuckle.

I walk over to the couch and plop down with a sigh. Ricky and Jc follow my lead, each of them sitting beside me. Jc to my right, Ricky to my left. "I'm fine, Ricky, and I have been eating... I just don't eat in front of people." I lie. "Kian, I'm sorry, but stop." With that, my shirt was being lifted over my head, revealing my sunken in torso. My eyes went wide and Jc had a look of shock. "Kian..." Jc gasps. I look down; tears clouding my vision. "I-I'm fine... see? I look the same." I stutter, pointing at myself. A tear falls into my lap and I look up. As I look to my left, I see Ricky with his head turned away, almost as if he were trying not to cry. I turn back towards Jc and see that his big brown eyes are filled with glistening tears; ready to spill over at any moment.

"I-I'm fine..." I repeat, clearly in denial. Jc swallows loudly and begins to speak. "Kian, you need help."

"N-no, I-I'm perfectly fine." I shake my head. I feel a hand rest on my left shoulder, causing me to turn my head. Ricky has tears forming in his eyes too. "No Kian, you're really not. Either you eat here, or you get help." He says gently. I glance between them both and say: "I'm fine, ya see?" I deny again, standing up and spinning in a small circle. I look at them both when I finish twirling, a single tear escapes Jc's eye and that's when I broke. "Okay, I need help!" I say, falling to my knees; tears pouring down my cheeks. "I need help..." I repeat softly, looking at the beige carpet beneath us. "Please help me." I whimper, looking up at them. Their figures extremely blurred from my tears.

Suddenly that sharp shooting pain comes back, but this time stronger, almost knocking the wind out of me. I jolt and clutch my side, still looking at them both. Another jolt of pain shoots through me, causing a loud ringing to fill my ears. The next thing I know, I'm laying back and staring at the ceiling, Jc and Ricky standing at my sides panicking. The ringing dulled a bit, then silence mixed with darkness.

<~A few hours later~>

I open my eyes and see several different figures surrounding me. One question clouds my thoughts... Where am I?

My vision focuses and I can now make out the figures standing around me. Ricky, Jc, Sam, Connor, Trevor and lastly, Melody? I try to speak, but my voice is so weak that only a few squeaks manage to escape my throat. Melody rushes to my side and grabs my hand, a few tears falling down her cheeks. "Oh my god, I did this." She whispers, stroking my knuckles with her thumb. I gather all the strength inside me and pull my hand out of hers. She looks at me with sadness and leaves the room. The boys rush over to me, staring down in pity. Their looks kind of make me want to deck them all in the face.

I try my hardest to speak, and succeed. "Would you stop looking at me like that?" I manage to croak out. Everybody's faces light up when they hear me speak. Without warning, one by one they all pretty much made a dog pile on top of me. I squirmed around signaling that they should get off, they all complied, climbing off one after another. "I thought you were still touring with your book, Con?" I say in a raspy voice. He shakes his head slowly. "Nope, I finished it like way back in like June.." He corrects in his usual cheery voice.

I nod and look at Sam. "Long time no see." I chuckle awkwardly. Sam nods with an uncomfortable smirk plastered on his face. "Yea..." He says softly, looking down at his phone. "Hey Trevy!" I greet happily. Trevor smiles and engulfs me in a hug. "I'm so glad you're okay." He says as he pulls away. "Me too..." Was all I could manage to say. I look over in Jc and Ricky's direction, smiling weakly. "Thank you." I say, earning nods in response. There was one thing that was off about them all, they all had tear stained faces, but Sam... My heart dropped a little at that fact. I don't understand why he hates me so much?

"Why did Melody show up?" I ask weakly. I saw Jc shift uncomfortably on the balls of his feet. "I just thought she should know..." He mumbles. I sigh and close my eyes. "Thank you all for coming... you guys are amazing." I thank them, opening my eyes to look at them all.

"Yup."

"No problem."

"I wouldn't have just ignored it."

"We were worried about you."

Were all the responses that flooded my ears. "Would you guys mind getting Melody for me? So we could talk in private..." I ask, earning a few nods. I watched as they all filed out of the room, one by one, and a few moments later Melody took their spots in the door way. She gently closed the door behind her and walked over to my bedside. "I-I was told you wanted to talk to me?" She asks in a nervous tone. "Yeah."

"What's up?" She asks.

"I still love you..."

"I still love you too!" She says excitedly.

"But." Her face drops quickly. "You need to move on. We can't both be hoping to get back together... We didn't even mesh well. For all we know, I could have just been a rebound boy."

"N-"

"I wasn't done talking." I interrupt. "What I was saying is, we should just forget this ever happened.... you deserve waaay better." I force a smile.

"You can't forget love, Kian."

"Well, you're gonna have too."

"I-I can't." She whimpers.

"You have to, for me." I say, looking into her gorgeous green eyes.

"I could never love someone as much as I did you..." She explains, a tear slipping down her cheek.

"What about Jc?" I ask, she stays silent. "Exactly. Ya know, he still loves you." I continue.

"That isn't true, Kian. He and I stopped talking a couple weeks ago."

"You've at least got to try." I say. She nods and wipes her eyes. I motion her closer to me, she complies. "I will always have a space in my heart for you." I whisper. She nods and looks me in the eyes. I lean up and kiss her forehead. "You should go, I'm tired." I smile. She nods and leaves the room. I turn on my side, letting a tear escape my eye. I close them tightly and force myself to sleep.
