Complicated

Ch 9

"You're doing good Kellin." Jaime said as he watches Mike and Kellin do a match. He was dodging most punches and well as delivering them. A few minutes later, the gym doors open and in walked Danielle.

"Can I talk to Kellin please?"

"He's training."

"I don't care."

"Kellin." Jaime yelled. Upon hearing his name, Kellin looked over and Jaime motioned him over. "Dani wants to talk to you."

"Nah, I'm good."

"It's about Vic."

"Again, I'm good. Now if you'll as to so kindly fuck the hell off." Kellin walked back to the ring and continued on with the match.

"What's up with Vic?" Jaime asked.

"He said that he doesn't want to see Kellin there anymore. Since he has me, Kellin won't be of need."

"Vic said that?" Jaime asked a bit surprised. He knew Vic could be cold, obviously, but he also knew how manipulative Danielle was. "But he grew to like Kellin."

"Well I'm here!" she snapped. "So please tell Kellin to never show his face at the hospital or anywhere Vic is." With that, she walked out of the gym with a smirk on her face.

When she left, Kellin walked to Jaime. "What did she want?"

"To tell you that Vic said he doesn't want you to see him anymore. Not just at the hospital but anywhere." Kellin just shrugged. "Doesn't that bother you? I mean, Vic would've told you that face to face because that's just the kind of person he is ya'know, and he wouldn't have sent her to come here just to say that."

"I mean, I could care less honestly." Kellin said in a monotone voice. "If Vic doesn't want to see me then he won't. In a month, I'm going back home anyways so it's not like it'll matter. Now let's get back to practicing."

"Babe, you won't believe what happened." Danielle said as she walked through the door. Vic just stared at her to continue. "I went down to the gym to go see if the guys wanted to come over and see you and when I asked Kellin, he said he didn't want to be around you."

"What?"

"I know." She said sadly. "I was shocked too so I asked him why and he said it's because you killed someone and he didn't want to be associated with a murderer." Vic's eyes lit up with anger. "But it's ok. You don't need him. You've got your dad, Mikey, your friends and me. We're all you'll ever need."

"Whatever. If he wants to be a little bitch, that's his problem." Vic said coldly.

"That's the spirit!" she said over excitedly. "You just focus on healing."

A few hours later, Mike, Jaime, Tony and Vic's dad came over to see him.

"Hola mijo, como te sientes?"

"Like shit." Vic said with a sigh.

"You get out in a week and a half then it's the competition, are you ready to cheer Kellin on?"

"I'm not going."

"Que?" his father said as his eyes opened wide. "Why not?"

"Because Kellin is a little bitch and that's it."

His dad looked over at Jaime, who mouthed later.

"Bueno, let's talk about something else."

"Would you like to explain to me why Victor called and asked what happened between you and Vic?"

"Dad, it's nothing. Drop it." Kellin said irritated.
