A Match Into Water (Kellic)

Alone

-Kellin's POV-

It had been about 2 hours since I saw Vic kissing his ex girlfriend, and I was currently sitting against a tree at the local park. As soon as I got here, I cried my eyes out, but around an hour ago, the tears just stopped coming. It's like I cried out everything in me. I was just sitting against an old birch tree, feeling empty.

I kept thinking. What did I do wrong? I actually thought he genuinely loved me. But I guess I wasn't good enough for him. And how come he never told me about this so called "ex girlfriend" of his. I've known Vic pretty much my whole life, and I never knew he had a girlfriend named Kora. Why did he never tell me about her? Was the relationship short and unimportant? Or did he not tell me because he thought it'd interfere with our friendship? Did he even care about our friendship? Oh, God, I can't believe this is happening right now.

I was aching for Vic right now, but at the same time, I hated him for breaking me. No one but him and my mom have ever been able to do this to me.

*Flashback*

"Mom." I cried. "Please don't go." I looked down at her pale, fragile body, wishing things were different right now. "God knows I can't go on without you much longer. I'll only have Vic. Jeremy doesn't even care anymore. Ever since you got sick, he's been different." I whispered. "He's been drinking. And he's been yelling and...and...Oh, God, please don't leave me mom."

At that moment, I heard the heart monitor flatline, and my own heart began racing. "No." I whispered. "NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!! MOM, YOU SAID YOU'D STAY!!! YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE ME!!!" I screamed, not wanting to believe she was really gone. She lost the battle. The cancer won.

*End of Flashback*

I sighed and leaned my head back against the tree trunk, letting a few unescaped tears leave my eyes. I didn't even realize someone had walked over to me until I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Hey." A voice said.

I opened my eyes and saw a guy about my age with blue eyes and dirty blonde ish hair. "What?" I said, not meaning for it to come out as a whisper.

He looked down at me, a hint of concern in his eyes. "Are you okay?" He asked, sitting down beside me.

Just those three words made me go through the events that happened earlier in my head over and over again,  surprisingly causing more tears to come. I tried to stop the rivers forming on my cheeks, but couldn't. I pulled my knees up to my chest, and put my head down as I sobbed uncontrollably. The guy just awkwardly patted my back as I cried.

Eventually, once I calmed down a little bit, I asked, "What's you're name?"

"Justin. You?" He replied.

"Kellin." I said.

"May I ask- What's wrong?" He said, cautiously. I looked over at Justin, trying to decide whether he was trustworthy.

"Well," I started, finally deciding it wouldn't really make anything worse if I told him what was going on. "I was at the Coffee Shop with my...my boyfriend." I said slowly, hoping he wasn't a homophobe. I saw a look of surprise flash across Justin's face, but he didn't say anything. "We were sitting at a booth, just talking about random things, when his ex girlfriend came up to us. She started talking to Vic- my now ex boyfriend- and I went to the restroom to avoid awkwardness." I said, fearing I'd break down if I continued to what happened next. I took a deep breath and went on. "When I came back from the bathroom...he...he was kissing his ex." I finished, my voice breaking slightly at the end. Tears threatened to fall again, but I pushed them back, refusing to cry anymore in front of Justin.
