Frozen inside (Kellic)

chapter 21

As soon as the bell rang, signaling lunch was over, everybody had frenzied into a deep talk, and they were all pointing at Kellin an  I. I watched as he stormed angrily out of the double doors. I quickly ran after him.

I needed questions and I needed answers.

I had caught a meere glimpse at him when we had approached each other.

He had a confused expression that creapt across his face. like he didn't understand what he had just did. And he was mad; more than mad...No he was infuriated. He pursed his lips, and gazed at me with eyes locked inside a dream.

There was a bitter silence, until he spoke.

"Vic..." He trailed off, pressing a hand to his temples, as he leaned on the lockers.

"I am, I'm so sorry...this was so wrong...nobody deserves that...What they did to Tony! I don't know how to handle it- I can't believe Jack, Jaime, even Justin my brother...I'm just so stresses  out and I didn't know this was happening until today I swear to God...and-a...I need to tell you something.." He had said, dramatically, as he licked his lips, his fists bawled, as if he were restarting his thoughts, retracing his footsteps.

"Say what you need to say." I had said, but my voice was hoarse and raspy, as if It was the first time I had spoken in a thousand years. I realized the wetness forming from the corner of my eyelids when I felt them stroll down my cheeks. I had quickly wiped then away.

"I-" he had began, but it burned in his throat, like he was forcing himself to spit out words.

And then, time went slower, my heartbeats were faster, my lips were more chapped, and all the blood drained from my face.

"I love you." He said, and he meant it. I could see it in his eyes, the way he looked at me; the passion in his eyes never snapping. The slow burn wait for someone to actually say those words to me made me explode with this overwhelmed feeling of cracked joy.

Kellin had broken my wall, every bit inside of me, that was restrained from him, I wanted to give him my all. I smiled, and cried a bit, not caring who was watching, and  I smiled, bringing him into a hug, but it was deeper than that, this hug was different. It felt different, he held me altogether, put all my broken pieces back together, with him I felt completely safe and whole.

"I love you too." I said, but it was wearily, as  if I were  still getting used to the feeling. And I kissed him, in front of everyone, for the first time ever and I loved it.

I smiled to myself, everything seems so perfected.
