The Dark and The Light (Kellic)

* Eight *

It's been a week since the argument I had with Lynn. To say I missed her would be an understatement. I started making Vic drive me to school in the mornings. He would make Mike take the car home while we went to my house. I don't know why we never went to his house but it doesn't matter, really. As long as I'm with him, I'm happy. Damn, that was really cheesy.

Today was different though.

"Hey. You ready?" I said, walking up to him after school.

"Um. Kells. I can't walk with you to your house today. Or any other day of this week. I'm actually kind of busy."

"Oh. That's alright." I was a little disappointed.

"You sure?" He sounded concerned. At least I now know that he's not doing anything bad. Maybe.

"Yeah. It's fine. I know you have other things in your life than me." I gave him a smile to let him know it's alright.

"Okay. I'm sorry, but I gotta go now. See ya later." He gave me a quick kiss then ran off to his car.

I guess I get to walk home by myself everyday this week. Isn't that just great. I sighed and started walking. It was a little colder out than yesterday. I guess that's what happens when you live in New York. Man, walking alone is not fun at all. It makes me want to actually think. Think about how much I miss hanging out with Lynn. I decided to try and at least text her.

Lynn, I just wanted to let you know that I still care...

Lynn- Error- this number is temporarily unavailable

Wow. I didn't think she would go as far as blocking my number. I let out a sad sigh and walked into my house. When I walked in, I was utterly shocked to see Carter sitting on my couch. "W-what are you doing here?" I said. He must not have noticed me at first because he jumped at the sound of my voice.

"Oh. Hi, Kellin. I'm just here to say my final goodbyes and get the rest of my stuff."

"So, this is really it? Am I going to ever see you again?" At this point, my eyes were watering.

"Kellin, you know I'm not you're actually father, so I couldn't get times to see you. There is also no way you mother is going to let me see you."

"No. I-I don't care about that. You raised me. You are my father. A father isn't just someone who 'made' the person. It's the person who steps up and helps raise the child and love them." I was almost sobbing at this point. "You are my father and I love you so much for raising me to be the person who I am today."

"I love you too, Kellin. Whether you are my son or daughter. I love you either way." He pulled me into a hug and I sobbed into his shoulder. "I am so sorry that I'm leaving, but you're mom was very controlling over me and my money. I feel guilty as hell for taking the money for your surgery but I need it to buy another house."

"I-it's alright. I completely understand. It probably wasn't going to happen either way."

"Of course it would've. Maybe later in life, you can get a job and help get enough money."

I just nodded and pulled out of the hug. "I have to go before your mom gets back. You call me if you need anything ever."

"Thanks dad. I'll talk to you again sometime." I smiled at him.

"Yeah. Sometime." He smiled back then walked out of the house.

I had trouble falling asleep that night. I looked at my clock to see it was midnight. Maybe Vic is still up. I picked up my phone and texted him.

Hey babe. You awake?

He texted back almost immediately.

Vic: Hey baby. Yes I'm awake. What's going on?

I'm just having a really bad day. I just kind of wanted to text you.

Vic: Awe :( What happened.

Well, first of all, you had to leave me alone today, when I got to my house my dad was there, my mom still hasn't come home, and I can't sleep no matter how much I try.

Vic: Awe, baby :( I'm sorry. Why was Carter there?

He was saying his final goodbyes and to finish getting all of his stuff. He didn't believe I thought he was my father.

Vic: Oh. Are you ever going to talk to him again?

Absolutely. He told me to call him whenever I needed it.

Vic: That's good. Great actually.

Yeah. It really is. Well, I'm actually ready to sleep now. Goodnight babe <3

Vic: Goodnight <3

Honestly, he can make my night so much better. I decided to check Facebook before heading to bed. As I was scrolling through, I saw a picture of Tay, Jenna, and... Lynn? This was recent too. Recent as in ten minutes ago. Just like that, my night got bad again. How could she have moved on so quickly. Maybe she's been planning on doing this for awhile now? I surely hope not. I mean, it's not like she got up and made a bunch of new friends. She's known those two for a little bit, but I can't help but feel as if it's their fault. Maybe Lynn wanted actual girl friends and not whatever I am. I felt tears well up in my eyes. I've felt this much betrayal ever in my life. She was my best friend. Even back in grade school we hung out. I let out a heavy sigh and closed my eyes.

Even after trying to fall asleep so much, it didn't help at all. It was three in the morning now. My mom came home about an hour ago.

I got out of bed and decided to get something to eat. As I was making the food, there was a knocking at the door. I jumped and almost threw the box of oreos across the room. I slowly crept in front of the door. I also grabbed a spatula on my way for self defense. It probably wouldn't do anything anyways. I slowly opened the door and was shocked to see who it was. They were all beaten up and had blood coming from their nose.

"Lynn?"

ohhh. What happened to her? Also, Social Repose was so good last night. I made a bunch of new friends :)
