The Dark and The Light (Kellic)

* Sixteen *

*Three Months Later*

It's been three months since the whole Justin incident and I haven't seen him since.

Right now, Lynn, Vic, Jaime, Mike, Tony, and I are walking through the hallway at school, getting ready to go to my place. We haven't hung out all together in a long time, so we decided we would go to my place and do anything and everything.

We all piled into Vic's car. "Girlfriend gets front seat!" Vic called out to everyone. I heard a chorus of groans from behind me.

"Vic, we have a problem. The jeep can only fit five people and there's six of us." Mike said.

"That's right. Looks like you get to sit in the trunk." Vic said. Mike gave him an unimpressed look.

"Why me? I'm the biggest one here." He whined.

Vic laughed at his brother's whining. "You're gonna deal with it or you'll be walking home." Damn, my boyfriend's got sass.

"Fine." Mike sighed. We all climbed into the jeep. "Hey, bro? Why are there condoms and lube back here?" He asked, holding up a plastic bag.

Vic slammed on the brakes, making Mike fly forward. I felt my face start to heat up and my eyes went wide. Vic turned around to look at his little brother. "Put those down and don't ask questions." He said, then faced me. "And you and I will have a talk about this later."

I heard Lynn let out a small giggle that quickly turned into hysterical laughter. Tony and Jaime soon followed. I put my face in my hands to hide the blush.

I was honestly so confused right now.

When we got to my house, I felt really weird being next to Vic. I couldn't even look at him. "I, uh, I'll be right back." I said then stood up and quickly left the room. I needed some water or something.

As I was getting the water, I felt someone place their hand on my shoulder. I jumped and spun around to see Vic standing there. "Hey, what's on your mind? You're being really distant. Let's talk now." He said, pulling me to the table. "Is it about the stuff in my car?" He asked. I just nodded my head. He sighed and took my hand. "Why?"

"I-I don't know. It just does." I said, looking down at our hands.

"Look at me." He said, so I lifted my head to meet his eyes. "I am not going to force you to do anything you don't want to. It's just in case if you feel you're ready one day." He tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear.

"Vic. I need to tell you something." I whispered. I was ready to tell him the big 'L' word, I was just waiting for the right time.

"What's up, darling." He asked, tilting his head to the side ever so slightly.

"I-I love you." I whispered. I don't think he heard me.

"Babe, I saw your mouth move but I didn't hear a single word you just said." He laughed.

"Oh, um, I love you." I said, a little louder. He definitely heard me because he fell off of his chair.

"Did you just say you loved me?!" He shouted excitedly.

"Who said that!" I heard from the living room. Within seconds, everybody was in the kitchen. "Seriously, who said that." It was Jaime. I slightly raised my hand. "Damn, that's adorable." He said, smiling at us.

Just then, Vic pulled me to floor. He grabbed my face and started kissing me all over. I started giggling and grabbed his face, my lips meeting his. I heard a snap of a camera and looked up at Lynn.

"Hey, you'll thank me for this later." She said, waving her phone in the air. I rolled my eyes and turned back to Vic.

"I love you, too." He said, pulling me into a tight hug. "I'm so glad you said that. I've been wanting to say that for a few days but I was worried you'd flip out like last time." He said with a light laugh.

"I was honestly thinking the same thing. I thought you were going to call me a hypocrite or something like that." I told him.

"Why would you think that? I know neither of us were ready so we forgot about it." He said. I looked up at our friends. I noticed Jaime wasn't there anymore.

"Can I go talk to Jaime?" I whispered into Vic's ear. He nodded his head, so I got up and walked out of the room.

When I walked into the living room, Jaime as sitting there with his head in his hands. "Jaime? Are you alright?" I asked him, my voice full of concern.

"Not really. It's nothing against you and Vic, but I hate when couples love each other like you do. It makes me realize how alone I really am." He said sadly.

"It's alright. You're not going to always be alone. We're sophomores, I was lucky that I fell in love. Your entire life is ahead of you. You will find someone, or someone will find you." I said, trying to comfort him.

"I wanted your boyfriend, but he had to breakup with me." He said, giving me a sad look.

"I'm sorry. I really am." I said, looking away from him.

"It's alright. Stuff happens." He said, standing up. "Let's go back to our people." I got up and followed him into the kitchen. I made my way over to Vic and sat down on his lap.

"Are you guys okay?" He asked.

"I-I don't know. I guess we're fine. We could always be better, but it's whatever." I told him. He hummed in response.

"I say we watch a movie!" Mike shouted, jumping up from the beanbag he was sitting on.

"Mike, be quiet. I was trying to sleep." Tony groaned.

"Too bad, you turtle!" He shouted in his face. Tony then kicked Mike in the shin, making him yelp in pain. "I thought you loved me!" He said, laying on the ground.

Tony started blushing and turned into the couch he was laying on.

Mike was on a beanbag, Lynn is on the recliner, Jaime is laying on the floor, Tony is on the small couch, and Vic and I are on the bigger couch. It is currently eleven P.M. My mom came home roughly two hours ago. The guys, and Lynn, decided they wanted to stay the entire weekend.

"I say we all go to bed. I'm, like, exhausted." Vic yawned.

"Agreed." Jaime and I said said simultaneously. I looked at him then started laughing and so did he.

"Well, I'm going to grab some blankets. Kell, come with me." Lynn said, standing up. I stood up and walked up the stairs with her. "Kellin, you and Vic are so cute together, I love it so much." She squealed, grabbing a few blankets.

"Thanks. I love it too." I said bashfully. I grabbed a few other blankets and a couple pillows then walked out of my room.

I gave Jaime and Tony their blankets and pillows then went back over to Vic. I laid down and Vic pulled me closer, my back against his chest. "You're amazing." He whispered into my ear. I smiled at that.

"Goodnight, my hoes." I heard Lynn say.

"Night." We all said.

I breathed out in content. The days like this make me feel so grateful for what I have, no matter what life throws at me.

School is pretty much over so chapters will be a little longer now.
