Kissing In Cars | Kellic

Chapter 9

~Vic's POV~
I packed my bag in a hurry, throwing in a toothbrush and a few other necessities before bolting down the stairs. Kellin followed me, and though my eyes never touched his face, I could feel him smirking at me.
"Bye mom. I love you,"
I said, hugging her tight. She was practically glowing.
"Look at my baby, off to his first sleepover,"
I rolled my eyes, blushing slightly. I carried my bag outside.
"Bye mom,"
Kellin waved from behind me. My mother said goodbye as well, shutting the front door. I glared at Kellin.
"Mom? Really?"

He laughed at me, eyes flashing in the dark.
"Hey, she said I could call her that. And it's not like I'm leaving anytime soon."
We climbed into the car, a smile creeping on my face despite myself.
He's not leaving. He won't leave. I'll have Kellin forever.
I hadn't realized until now that I'd assumed he would leave at some point.
"Vic,"
Kellin said suddenly. I turned to face him.
"Yeah?"
"Did you hear me? I'm not leaving."

"I-"
I started, but Kellin cut me off.
"We're friends now, Vic. I'm not leaving you."
I stared out the window as he started the car, pulling away from the curb and heading down the street.
Kellin isn't leaving.
We arrived quickly at his house, too quickly for me.
Kellin isn't leaving.
My mind was playing Kellin's words like a record, and I was too dizzy to think of anything else. I climbed out of the car and grabbed my bag, following him up the walkway.

His house was grey, with a large, white front door that he swung open to reveal a gorgeous entry way.
"I'm home mom,"
he called out, walking straight towards a light down the hall. A dark-haired women with wide eyes poked her head out from what looked like the living room. She was pretty, practically a female version of Kellin.
"Hi!"
She greeted enthusiastically, coming to pull me into a hug. I hugged her back, shocked but pleased at her reaction.
"I bought some snacks in case you were hungry, eat when you feel like it,"
She said, smiling at Kellin.
"Thanks mom,"
He said, giving her a quick hug before turning on his heals and heading up the stairs back in the entryway.
"Have fun,"
She called from downstairs.

He led me into a room at the end of the hall, it's walls were painted teal, my favorite color. He shut the door behind us.
"Just toss your bag anywhere,"
he instructed, sitting down on his bed. I threw it on the floor near his desk in the corner, sitting beside him and pulling my legs to my chest.
"You didn't introduce me to your mom,"
I said playfully. Kellin grinned at me. "Vic, she knows all about you." "Really?"
"Yes. She's the only person I text all day."
"Why? I don't even text my mom that much."
Kellin sighed, laying back and playing with the hem of my t-shirt.
"She gets... Worried. And hyper. She has anxiety, it helps if I talk to her throughout the day."
I nodded.

We sat in silence for a moment, Kellin playing with my shirt, and me staring at the faint scars on his arm, and thinking of my own.
"So... What do you wanna do?"
I yawned.
"Um, a movie sounds good right now. I'm kinda tired,"
I admitted. He laughed.
"Already? It's not even late. We'll have to fix that."
He jumped out of bed, turning on his flatscreen tv and throwing the remote at me.
"I have Netflix, choose something."
He said before walking out of the room.

I ended up picking Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which was on his recently played list. He returned with a two-liter of Mountain Dew and a bag of chips, which he threw on the bed before pulling something out of his closet.
"You fucker, the pop's gonna be fizzy now,"
I whined. He ignored me.
"I dunno about you, but I'm changing into my pajamas,"
he said.

My first instinct was to look away. Staring is rude, I told myself. But I ended up doing just that. He stripped off his shirt, revealing his pale, smooth back, and I nearly cried: he was so beautiful. He then pulled off his skinny jeans, replacing them with blue flannel pajama pants. He took his spot beside me again.
"You're turn,"
he said. I sighed and went to my bag, unzipping it and digging through the lumps of clothing.
Oh shit.

In my excitement, I had forgotten to grab night clothes. I groaned.
"What's wrong?"
Kellin asked. I sighed.
"I forgot to grab pajamas,"
I replied. He smirked.
"Hm. I guess you'll have to borrow some of mine then."
I looked skeptically down at his tiny waist, then at mine. Ew.
"Um..."
He stood beside me now, pulling a pair of black fuzzy pants from his closet. He leaned close to my ear.
"This is to make up for stealing your sweater,"
he whispered. I shivered, taking the pants.
That little shit.

I stripped out of my jeans, quickly pulling on the pajama pants and sitting beside Kellin. My head swam gazing at his bare chest, and I turned away.
"Do you normally wear a shirt to bed?"
He asked. I shook my head.
"No, not really."
I pulled it off and tossed it across the room before looking down at myself. My heart stopped dead in my chest.
Oh no. No no no. I forgot-
Kellin whistled.
"Oooooh, I didn't know you were a sexican. Damn, I'd fuck-"
tears spilled down my face, and I threw myself down  on the bed, covering my upper half in blankets.
"Vic?"
Kellin asked, his eyebrows drawing together in concern. He tugged on the blankets, and I let him pull them away.
"Oh-"
he said. I winced as his cold hands brushed along the marks on my arms, my stomach. I let myself cry, for once not caring what he thought.
"Victor, please look at me."
I closed my eyes tight.
"Victor. I said look at me, please."

I stared up at him, shocked at what I saw. His diamond eyes were soft, his face a mixture of sadness and pain. "Can I ask you something?"
I nodded.
"Why do you do this to yourself?"

Ah, I'm such a bitch. I'm stopping here. :D I apologize for the wait, and I honestly have no excuse this time. I was just lazy. I'd like to dedicate this shit chapter to gailtheskeleton , my significant other who has been s o incredibly supportive about this story- from unintentionally giving me ideas, to whining at me to update, and to AliTheTurtle , without whom I probably would've ended my life entirely. I hope this chapter was alright. I love you guys.
