Let's Just Give It Time: In The End- Chapter 6

      3 days later

It’s been taking everything in me not to call Vic these past 3 days. I felt I needed to explain to him what happened at the boulevard but another part of me was happy because now he was in my shoes. It probably just pissed him off though, for me I was heartbroken when I walked in on him and Harley. Oli and I decided we weren’t going to let the kiss make things awkward or ruin our friendship. He’s been helping me a lot through the process of getting over Vic so I need him and he’s a really good friend, although I was a bit shocked that he actually liked me, I didn’t see that coming. This past weekend I’ve been hanging out with Oli and Mike over at Oli’s house. I’m pretty sure Mike has been telling Vic that’s he was going to hang out with Oli and I because as soon as we got over to Oli’s house Jonny started calling me repeatedly, I don’t answer though I know what he’s going to say already. He wants me to talk to Vic and I’m trying to stay away from him so I need to stay away from his friends as well but Jonny was making that extremely hard today because anytime he saw me he would call my name, whether I was with Oli or not. I’ve done a good job avoiding him today, it’s 3rd period and I’m sitting in class with Mike. We already finished our work so we were just sitting here doing nothing.  My phone vibrated in my pocket and I took it out to check it. It was Oli asking me to meet him in the hallway. I got up and asked the teacher to go to the bathroom then I left out the class.

“Hey.” Oli said as soon as I opened the door.

“Hey, what’s up?” I asked.

“Nothing, I just needed to get out of that class.” He said.

“Why?” I began walking down the hall.

“This guy was in class losing his mind being all dramatic. I couldn’t take it.” He said.

“What was he doing?”

“He was yelling at this guy asking him if he wanted to fight and the whole time I’m thinking neither of these pansies want to fight because if they did they wouldn’t be talking about it, ya’ know? He looked at me and I just laughed at his comment. “But then he like gets up and flips his desk over and is yelling at the guy to fight him and I swear I wanted to just get up and punch him but instead I left the room.”

“Violent Oli.” I chuckled, nudging him slightly. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder laughing.

“Hey, Oli!” I heard Vic’s familiar voice call out. This was the first time either of us has seen him since the night at the boulevard. We turned around to see Vic headed straight towards us. Once he got close enough you could tell he was glaring straight at Oli. I didn’t get a good vibe from this. Next thing I know Vic grabs Oli by the head and smashes his head against the lockers beside us. Oli began pushing Vic off him and I stood there in shock, I didn’t know what to do. I started to yell at Vic to stop but he didn’t listen. Once Oli got Vic off him and he had the upper hand he punched Vic in the stomach and kneed him in the face as he fell down. Kneeling down Oli repeatedly punched Vic in the face and I started to see a daze in Vic’s eyes. This was all happening so fast, I couldn’t control it. I ran over to Oli pulling him off of Vic and he lost his balance falling back on me.

“Oli stop! Let’s go, you’re gonna get in trouble!” I said standing up and pulling him with me, trying to get as far away from Vic as possible. Oli came with me willingly but I held his arm just in case he decided to turn around.

“No!” Vic got up slowly, a little wobbly and wiped the blood from his mouth. “Come on, hit me!” he said. “I said hit me!” he yelled. Oli turned around and looked at him but I tightened my grip on his arm. Vic was egging him on and I knew this wasn’t going to end well.

“You’ve taken him from me, so what do I got to lose now?! Hit me! Come hit me!” he voice was shaky and he stopped looking at Oli and over at me. I could see the pain in his eyes and it wasn’t from Oli punching him. I stood there shocked at his words. I couldn’t believe he was actually saying this. He was actually being human for once, showing real feelings. Oli stepped forward about to head towards Vic but I wouldn’t let him go any further.

“Don’t.” I said. Oli took a deep breath, trying to calm himself then we turned back around and walked away.

“Pussy!” Vic yelled. I could tell Oli wanted to turn around but the bell was about to ring and we already should’ve been in class to begin with, we don’t need to get in trouble for fighting as well. As for Vic, I looked back over my shoulder at him before we turned the corner and I could see the hurt in his eyes. No matter how much I hate Vic for hurting me, cheating on  me, lying to me, and everything else he did there was still a part of me that loved him and hated to see him like that.  I wanted to go back and help him and clean him up but I couldn’t because I have to worry about myself and worrying about Vic will get me nowhere.

                For the rest of the day things were really awkward. I kept thinking about Vic and at lunch everyone saw the red bruise on Oli’s head and he had to make up an excuse as to how he got it. I didn’t see Jonny or Vic at lunch. Out of all the times Jonny has annoyed me or popped up this was the one time I wanted him to but he’s gone MIA. I went to the rest of my classes and my last class was extremely awkward because it was only with Oli and I didn’t know what to say to him. When class let out I went immediately home. Walking into my house I heard my mom’s voice so I went into the kitchen to see who she was talking to and I was quite surprised by who was sitting at the table.

“Hey Kellin, how are you?” my dad smiled. I hadn’t talked to him since my mom kicked him out and to be honest I didn’t have a problem with it.

“What is he doing here?” I looked at my mom. She didn’t say anything though.

“Your mother and I are going to try to make things work.” He said.

“Really Mom, After what he did to you?! You were the one that told me we were in this together.” I said.

“We are, and I know you’re hurting but everything is going to be okay.” She said walking over to me.

“How is everything going to be okay when you’re back with him? He cheated, you said that was unforgivable!” I said stepping back as she got closer.

“Kellin, there are some things you don’t understand because you’re still a child.” My dad cut in.

“Shut up, dad! Don’t give me that bullshit speech that when I get older I’ll understand because I understand fine right now!” I snapped then walked out the kitchen. I can’t believe my mom had me thinking the entire time we were in this together and she’s probably been back with him for a while now. She told me cheating was unforgivable but yet she’s going to take my dad back so it can’t be that unforgivable and if it isn’t then there’s nothing wrong with me going to talk to Vic.
