Your Forever Is All That I Need (Kellin Quinn)

Chapter 12: Lovesick, Part 2

"Lovesick, Part 2"

*Kellin's POV*

And I thought that I couldn't love her more.

God.

Her beauty and her heart were already insanely amazing. But now?

She can sing too?

Damn.

Wait a second.

Am I...

Am I falling in love with her?

No. I can't. She's my best friend and I love her to the moon and back. But to be in love with her? That would mean something completely different. That would mean...

Do I get chills when I'm around her?

...Yes...

Does my heart stop every time I see her?

...Yes...

Is she my everything?

...God, yes...

I needed Jesse. He would know what all of this meant.

I started to run, and I mean... RUN... as I looked for Jesse. I found him sitting on the couch in the dressing room backstage.

"Hey, Kel... What's wrong?" He asked, seeing that I was frantic and out of breath.

"I think... I... I think I'm in... I'm in love."

I stuttered.

He just rolled his eyes.

"Well, no shit." He laughed.

I just looked at him.

"I know you're in love with Cassie. It's completely obvious. Don't tell me that you're just now figuring this out." He said.

I just shrugged, "It didn't really click until just now when she was singing. I mean, I knew I loved her. But, I didn't know that... That I was IN love with her."

"I think you've always been in love with her, man." He said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Every time her name is mentioned, your eyes light up. When you talk about her, your whole persona changes. You're a better person because of her." He stated.

"I'm such an idiot." I laughed, as I sat down and put my head in my hands.

"I mean, I knew that she was different from the start. But, I made myself believe that she was just my best friend. She's always been the person that I went to, and spending ten years without her made me realize that I did need her. But, you need your best friend, right? So, I continually told myself that that was all she was. But, when I saw her at the hotel... God, she was so beautiful. And maybe it clicked then that my feelings for her were more, but when I tried to kiss her at the park, I just thought it was because I hadn't seen her and my emotions were all jumbled, but... It's because I love her. I'm in love with Cassie Blake." I sighed.

"You're lovesick, bro." He smiled.

"And, I'm screwed because of Kyle, and what if she doesn't feel the same way? I know she loves me... But, what if she isn't in love with me, Jesse?" I asked.

"You are not going to give up on her. Steal her away from Kyle." He said.

"We're leaving tomorrow." I said.

"Then tell her how you feel before tomorrow." He said.

I just nodded.

Easier said than done.
