I'll Be The Fire That'll Catch You (Kellic)

Chapter seventeen

(A.N: This is tad short, sorry)

I looked at my mom with my eyes wide opened. For a moment Vic and I stayed in our position, frozen and shocked until we’ve finally gathered our strength to push ourselves away from each other.

“It was nothing!” I shouted, trying to convince my mom.

“Go to your room.” My mom sternly ordered, looking at me with anger and disappointment flooding her face.
“And you. You should head home.” She said as she gazed at Vic’s direction. Vic shakily stood from his seat and took slow, small steps towards the front door.

“No! It’s not his fault! He has nothing to do with this, mom. It was nothing!” I shouted as I ran towards Vic, pulling him into a very tight hug.

“Kellin, go to your room. I saw it with my very own eyes!” My mom shouted back. The once quiet house was now full of raging yells from me and my mom.

“No. You can’t do this.” I said as I started sobbing on Vic’s chest.

“Kellin Quinn, I am serious. Go to your room.” She ordered but I didn’t even bother to move. After a few more seconds, she started walking to our direction but before she could even grab and pull me away, I pushed Vic outside the door.
Once we were both out, I hastily grabbed his wrist and dragged him towards our car.

“Kellin! Where do you think you’re going?!” I heard my mom shout back but I didn’t bother to look back.

I took a moment to glance back at Vic, he looked so startled about what was currently happening and he still hasn’t spoken a single word ever since my mom caught us.

“Get in.” I said, well it was more of an order. I grabbed the key that I picked up in the table before we got out. I opened the passenger’s seat door for Vic because I think I should drive since he looked so lost.
Vic buckled his seatbelt as I ran towards the other side of the car.

“KELLIN!” My mom once again shouted but still, I didn’t bother to stop and look back.
I went over to my seat and quickly buckled my seatbelt and started the engine then hastily stepped on the gas pedal.

“Do you even know where to go?” Vic finally spoke but I didn’t remove my gaze away from the road. I didn’t really want to meet Vic’s eyes because actually, I do not have an idea where to go and what to do next. Everything that just happened was pretty sudden and dragging Vic into this was a  very sudden decision. I didn’t know what to do and I sure do know that my mom would just separate us from each other and that’s exactly the last thing that I wanted to happen. I never ever wanted to be away from Vic.  I want to be with him.

“Hey, Kells?” Vic once again pulled me away from my thoughts.

I didn’t utter a single word. Instead, I shook my head as a response to his question.

“Let’s go to my house.” He suddenly suggested. I really do not know though. I mean, what if my mom barges in to their house and drags me away from Vic? I’m so scared right now but I do not want him to notice this in me. So I just nodded and went to a turn to their street.
Vic held my right hand and gave it a little squeeze. I finally turned a little to look at him. He looked at me in the most agonizing way but he still managed to give me a very warm smile. I smiled back at him a quickly continued with my driving.

“I’m home!” Vic shouted to the quite house.

“I guess we have the house to ourselves then.” He said as he gave me a smile once again. “Let’s go to my room.”
He didn’t even gave me a chance to respond. He grabbed my hand and we jogged towards his room.

VIC’s POV

“So..”

“I can’t take this anymore, Vic.” He finally blurted as he ran towards my bed, collapsing on it. He buried his face in to his hands as I heard loud sobs escaping his lips. He was trembling and his shoulders were uncontrollably shaking. I scooted next to him and rubbed his arms.

“We’ll get through this, Kells” I cooed. Kellin’s so fragile. Especially ever since we had this thing going on between the two of us. As a day pass, the wedding date is coming closer. We both haven’t thought of what we should do or how we could cope up with this situation.
I’ve been trying my best to not break down especially when I’m with him. He’s too fragile and if he sees me broken, I think he wouldn’t be able to handle it.

“B-but, what will we do now? They’ll break us apart, Vic.”
He said in between his sobs. He finally removed his hands away from his face only to reveal his swollen eyes and his soaked cheeks.
I brought my hand to his cheeks and wiped away his dreadful tears.

“I don’t know.”

“I w-want to be with you, Vic. F-forever.”

Those words. Those words stabbed me straight to my stomach. I’ve never heard Kellin say such things to me. That whole sentence made me feel wanted and needed by someone. And it felt genuine and true. I couldn’t control the curve that was happily growing on my face. After a split second, I leant forward and kissed Kellin’s lips. No one has ever made me feel this way. Not until Kellin came to my life. And now that I’ve finally heard the words that I was looking for from him, I know that I am never going to give up on him.

“I really really like you, Kellin.” I blurted as I pulled away from the kiss to catch my breath.

“I like you more than you could ever like me, Vic.”
