There was a brief silence when his lips left mine. They were so warm, so passionate, and I wanted ever so badly to continue what he'd started, but I froze, I didn't kiss him back. I didn't at all know how to react, we were both sober so he couldn't blame his actions on any substances. He wanted to do it, and then he did it. It could've been a comfort thing...but it was different, as if he was waiting to do it. I realized that I was looking at him for a long time absently, and that's when I glanced away.


"What was that?" I asked him, I didn't mean to sound so upset but that's how my voice came across. I realized I was upset at him because I was his last resort, if he hadn't have found out that Danielle was cheating on him, he would've probably been still ignoring me and his feelings that he had. It wasn't fair, plus I was his last option, who wants that? I stood up, and sighed.

 Vic gazed at me and shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know," he spoke.

I scoffed, "well when you figure that out, call me-"

"No, you don't understand-"

"Yes I do, I know exactly what's wrong and why things happened the way that they did, I know why you kissed me-"

He faltered, "Kellin-"

"No. You're gonna listen to me-

Now his whole body was in deep hesitation, "Kellin, please-"

I rolled my eyes, "You know what? Whatever Vic-"

"I like you okay!" he shouted out at me.

He got up from the seat in almost an instant, earning a few eyes and stares from the people around us, but he didn't look back at them, his eyes focused on me, "Danielle and I? It was arranged, all of it. My parents wanted me to marry her, this year around December because of her wealth- she knew about this too- and we were both solid on the idea, but then she went off and cheated on me just made me feel like a jackass.

When I saw you that one time in the Airport, I felt something, Kellin- I was attracted to you. I shook the feeling off but a few days after I kept on seeing you again," (see what I did there) Vic exclaimed, "you kept on popping up into my life and each time I'd see you the feelings got stronger and stronger, until I saw you at the club and went out at you- yeah I was drunk, but I was fully aware of what was happening and I-" his voice broke off.

"I liked every second of it, okay?"

I didn't know how to react or what at all to say. Vics eyes were pleading, sorry- I could tell he was going through a lot of pain and he could use the comfort. But I didn't want to be 'his comfort', I had a feeling that once he'd get over his remorse, his feelings for me would leave. He probably didn't even have general feelings for me. I backed away from him, "I need...I need time and;" I was searching for words as I hesitated once more, "space...to think all of this through," I told him.

He nodded at me, and that's when he reached into my pocket and grabbed my phone, "what are you doing?" I asked him accusingly, crossing my arms.

"Here's my number, I wrote it in your notes and just...think about it, okay?" Vic mumbled, before handing me back my phone, I watched as he then began to walk away from me, disappearing into the large crowds of people, and then suddenly his figure was gone, and I was left alone. I gazed up at the night-sky and let the coldness wash over me. I really wanted to see how things would go with Vic, but I just didn't want to be his rebound. Obviously he was in a very emotional state of mind at the moment, but I didn't even know him that well. Like he said, we just kept on popping up in each others lives unexpectedly and I kept seeing him again, and again, and again. It was strange, but I liked it. I liked him...but was I ready for another relationship? Back home in Michigan, my last relationship was a toxic one and it led to me having Anorexia and Depression all throughout my high-school years, could I handle letting another person in my life?
