~Vic's POV~
When I finally left Kellin's house, my mind was swimming. One thought bounced through my head so fast I couldn't stop to make sense of it.

I found myself wondering what had took me so long to realize that I had feelings for Kellin. More importantly, why didn't he tell me he liked me sooner? I smiled to myself, before frowning. Sure, we liked each other, but what happens a month from now? Could Kellin really help me?

I stared at my bottom dresser drawer, knowing my razors were in there. An escape was just feet from my grasp.
"Maybe I can cut just one more time, just once, then I would-"
I said aloud, before my phone rang loudly beside me. I picked it up after recognizing Kellin's number on the screen.
"Hello?"
"Victor fucking Vincent, I swear to god, I'm trying to help you. If you so much as poke a razor, I'll kill you."
I blinked in shock. What the fuck?
"How did you know I was going to do it?"
I was interrupted when my bedroom door swung open. I instantly hung up my phone to see Kellin glaring at me, his cute little arms crossed over his chest.

"How long have you been out there?"
"Long enough. Vic, how could you even say that?"
I shrugged, falling back onto my bed.
"What are you doing here anyway? It's like 11 at night,"
I said, closing my eyes. I heard my door shut softly.
"I followed you home."
I laughed.
"Well someone's obsessed."
Kellin crawled on my bed, sitting down on my thighs before laying down over top of me, like a human blanket. I ignored the rapid beating in my chest at the thought of his body on top of mine.

"I am obsessed. I hope you are too, because you aren't getting rid of me."
I rubbed his back softly, shivering against his cool skin.
"Of course. I would probably die if you left."
"I'm afraid you're going to die now."
Kellin said, looking down at me, his ocean blue eyes dark with concern.
"As long as you're here with me, I know I'll be okay."
I told him, kissing his cheek softly. He settled back down, wrapping his arms around my neck like a koala.

"I hope so."
He whispered. After a long moment of comfortable silence, he spoke:
"Can I stay for tonight?"
"If you want to."
I grinned at him, and though I didn't see it, I felt him smile against my chest.
"I can show you what my dreams are made of,"
He hummed quietly. His voice was just as beautiful as it was in choir everyday.

Right here with Kellin's voice in my ear and his heart beating against mine, I made a decision. Even if things sucked, even if Bruce beat me up everyday, even if my mom couldn't look at me without crying, I would try to live. Moments like this made everything worthwhile. Nights like these when I got to feel Kellin so close to me and hear him sing me to sleep made it all feel better.

Being with Kellin for a month made me happier than five years of razors and glass ever had.
