Torture In Silence (Kellic)

In The Night

{Kellin}

It was a great morning. For some reason, the sun shined right through my window and I knew the day would go smoothly.

Jenna was talking to me about Vic. I'm not sure why and I couldn't pick up at what she was hinting at.

"So I just wanted to know if, you um, have an interest in Vic?" she asked pleasantly, biting her lip.

My eyes widened.

"I wanted to know if you felt anything for him. Do you?"

I shook my head no very quickly.

"No? Really? You stare at him a lot so that's why I wanted to know. Just curious, that's all."

I don't stare at him! He stares at me! He makes me look at him!

I shook my head again.

"I know there's something there. You can keep denying it all you want, but I know you feel something for him."

I didn't answer her. I just glared down at my hands.

"Since when did you let someone heal your wounds besides me, hm? You tell me when. You hate when people get near you, especially if they're a client, so why do you let him do it? What makes him so Goddamn special?"

I shrugged. I didn't know what made him special.

"So there is something!" Jenna pushed further.

I slammed my fists on the bed, letting her know that I didn't feel anything for Vic.

"I'm pushing it because I see it in your eyes. I saw the way you stared at him yesterday when we were arguing. You practically gushed the way you looked at him. You can't hide it from me, Kellin."

I looked down, not knowing how to react. I just rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, roll your eyes all you want, but he's taking you home in a couple days for two weeks. So plan on liking him a little more."

I shot my head up and almost panicked. She was just kidding, right? Scratch that. I did panic. I got up and ran out of my room.

"Kellin, wait!" Jenna bellowed.

Not reaching a certain destination, I harshly bumped into Damien.

"Easy, Kellin. Why are you running?" he asked, placing his hand under my chin.

I didn't respond.

"Oh hey, I'm glad you bumped into me. I had to tell you something. Vic is taking you home for two weeks real soon."

My jaw dropped. Jenna wasn't messing with me. She was right.

"I bet you're wondering why? Well your attitude around clients needs to change. I don't like beating you every time you don't comply and I have to give them their money back."

I laughed inside. Those bastards don't deserve me anyway.

"I also need you to start eating. Vic is gonna help you get your body back in shape because you're way too skinny. Now if you decline him trying to help you or don't listen to him, I'm gonna have to fuck you up. Understand?"

I nodded.

"Good."

I've managed to find the coolest shelter for Jack and Alex to stay at. They thanked me for having them and saving them so they can be together again. I wished them well and hoped that we would cross paths again. I hugged them and said farewell.
