In Too Deep

Bonus Chapter

Kellin fiddled with his tie. He didn't like suits. He looked at the mirror. He was in a completely black suit, a white dress shirt, and a dark blue tie. He tugged on the few strands of his hair that were sticking up. He sighed. Never mind, he totally hated suits. Ecspecially the last time he wore one.

*flashback*

"You okay?" Kevin rest his arm around Kellin's shoulder. They were looking down at Kellin's mother who was resting in a beautiful wooden casket. All the bruises and cuts were neatly covered by makeup. Her skin was smooth and face relaxed. Kellin scratched his chin, using a pretend cough to try and cover his tears.

"I'm fine Kev." He was watching people walk up to his mom, setting red roses on the end. Kellin's eye was caught by a single white rose being carried by a boy with brown eyes and hair to match. The boy set the rose down, running his fingers over the glossy surface of the wood. "Vic?" Vic slowly turned towards Kellin.

"I was just leaving." Kellin caught Vic by the arm. Vic jerked his arm back, cradling it like a lost child.

"I'm sorry. Please don't leave."

"I made a mistake. I shouldn't have came here." Kellin grabbed the tan boy's waist, bringing him into a hug. He took a deep breath, savoring the sweet smell of cinnamon that came off of Vic.

"I thought I told you not to hurt yourself." Vic reluctantly returned the hug.

"You told me not to kill myself." He stated blankly.

"Oh god, I've missed you."

"Kellin I just came to pay my respects to your mom."

"I'm tired of pretending I'm okay. Please just stay with me for this. I need you right now." Kellin choked back his tears. Vic glanced at Kevin. He was nodding.

"I-I can't." Kellin pulled away, lacing their hands together. "I shouldn't."

"Please." Vic opened his mouth then closed it.

"Okay." Kellin pecked him on the cheek. "But just for today. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

*End of flashback*

"You almost ready?" Kevin stood at the doorway. Kellin blink the tear out of his eye. He quickly wiped it away, smiling at his friend.

"Can you help me? I can't get this stupid tie right." Kevin walked over, pulling Kellin's tie off, and redoing the whole thing. "I can't believe we're the losers going stag to prom. I mean come on, I can get anyone I want."

"You can't get everyone you want." Kellin frowned.

"What the hell is that suppose to mean?"

"Nothing. I didn't mean that." Kevin pat the knot he made with a triumphant smile. "Ta-da! Now come on! Let's go." He skipped out of the room.

"I swear you are a kid!" Kellin followed after his friend, rolling his eyes. He bumped into his father. "I'm sorry."

"Where do you think you're going?"

"I thought Sarah told you. I'm going to prom. Dad I have a date too. The most beautiful girl ever." Kellin lied through his teeth. His father carefully looked over him.

"Proceede." Mr. Bostwick nodded to his son. Kellin ran out of the house to his car. Kevin was in the driver's seat.

"Get in loser, we're going shopping." Kellin laughed, opening the door and sliding into the seat.

"Really? Mean girls." Kevin shrugged.

"It was a perfect opportunity. I couldn't pass it up."

"Whatever." The two boys continued joking around until they made it to where the prom was being held. It wasn't going to be as fancy as their prom next year but they could deal with it. This was suppose to be a night of fun and partying until you can't see straight.
