Somebody that I used to know. >>Kellic

Chapter 12

"Kellin? Are you up?" Jenna asked me. 

"No." I answered back. I rolled over in my bunk so I was facing the wall, and covered my head with the pillow. I didn't want anyone to bother me.

"C'mon Kellin, you need to get up. I made you breakfast." God, I'm starving. 

"Is anyone else here?" I haven't been out of this bunk for 3 days so I haven't been face to face with anyone except Jenna. I was scared for their judgmental looks. I barley know these guys.

"Um.. I think Vic's piece of shit, husband is.. but he's asleep." That comment made me smile.

"Jenna, be nice." I said to her, as I got out of my bunk. She ignored me and just rolled her eyes.

"How are you?" She asked, seriously.

"I'm still really sore, but I'll be fine." I smiled at her.

"I swear to god, I'm gonna kill him." I knew she wasn't serious, she just said it to make me feel better. When I didn't answer her, she spoke again.

"Okay, well you go take a shower, and I'll make you breakfast." 

"I thought you already made it?" I asked, curiously.

"No, I just said that to get you up. Now go, you stink." She pushed me into the bathroom where I was now alone. I didn't wanna look.. but I had to. I walked over to the mirror and what I saw brought tears to my eyes.. The whole left side of my face was covered with 1 giant bruise. It wasn't swollen anymore like it had been for the past 3 days, but it still looked really bad. I pulled up my shirt to see my torso was also covered in bruises and various cuts. Some of them old, but most of them were new. 

I always thought of myself as a strong person. I never took shit from anyone, and I always stood up for myself. How could I let someone do this to me? How could I ever become so weak? Love really is a dangerous thing. 

I need to stop thinking. If I want things to get better, then I need to stay positive. Turning on the water, I found myself singing alone to whatever song Jenna had playing in the kitchen area. I think it was 'Sorry' by Justin Bieber. I got in the shower, did my business, then I was out 10 minutes later. when I walked out, only wearing a towel, I saw everyone there. And by everyone I mean, Vic, Tony, Jaime, Mike, Beau and Jenna.. and they saw me too. My eyes locked with Vic's, and that's when my face turned red. 

"Um.. Oops?" I said, less then energetically. Everyone's eyes drifted to my torso and that's when I started feeling uncomfortable. I don't even look human, with the various colors the bruising caused. 

"Guys, stop. Kellin do you need a change of clothes?" Vic asked me. I timidly nodded my head. Vic disappeared into the back, but came back and handed me a change of clothes.

"Later, we can go back and get yours and Jenna's stuff." Vic said looking between me and Jenna. 

"Babe, that's not necessary. I'm sure they can handle their things." Beau put his 2 seance in.

"No. I'm going with you. Got okay?" He looked me dead in the eye and wouldn't break eye contact until I agreed.

"Okay." Was all I said before I vanished into the bathroom. After I was changed I wasn't feeling hungry anymore, so I went straight back to my bunk to lay down. 

~~~

"Are you okay?" Vic asked. I'm so sick of people asking me that. No, I'm not fine, but for some reason people think I'm just gonna change feelings every hour. 

"No. But we have to do this. I want my shit." I wasn't angry.. just annoyed.

"Okay, let's do this." Vic said opening the door to the bus. Everything was fine so far, but then again I haven't even stepped foot in there. Vic said that no one should be on the bus, because they were about to play.. but oh how he was wrong. 

"See everything's fi-" Jenna cut herself off when she saw something that broke my heart into tiny little pieces. It was Oliver in the living area, making out with.. Matty. 

"What the fuck? I told you people to stay out." Matty snapped at us, mostly towards Vic and myself.

"Oh, fuck off, Mullins. We came to get their stuff." Vic stepped in. I really do appreciate his effort but I can do this myself. 

"Just give us 5 minutes, and you wouldn't have to see us for the rest of the tour.. or ever for that matter." I said, directed more towards Oliver, than Matty.

"Kellin.. can we please just talk about this?" Oli said, grabbing my forearm as I walked by him.

"Don't fucking touch me," I gasped. "There's nothing to talk about!" I yelled at him, pulling out of his grasp. "You cheated on me Oliver! Do you have any Idea what that does to a person? It breaks their trust. From now on I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to trust any of my relationships because of YOU! And on top of that, you beat me! I'm always going to be constantly scared that at any sign of trouble, my boyfriend is going to hit me, because of YOU! You broke me beyond repair."

"Kellin I-" He started, but I wasn't finished.

"No! Shut the fuck up! I'm not finished. All I ever did was love you. I was always there for you, I was constantly supportive of everything you did, even if I wasn't comfortable, but I did it because I loved you. What did I do to deserve this?!" I yelled pulling up my shirt, exposing my torso. I heard a gasp escape Oli's lips.  

"I did that to you..?" He seemed.. Sorry.

"Yes! You didn't only damage me mentally, you physically broke me."

"I don't know what to say.."

"Don't say anything. I'm done with you, for good. I'm not going to let you destroy me to make yourself whole again." With that, I walked to the back of the bus to pack my stuff. I didn't have much, just a simple suitcase of clothes. Jenna and Vic joined me shortly after my little rant. No one said anything, so it was dead silent. Once we were both done, Vic escorted us out of the bus.

~~~

"You were really brave back there.. Ya know, standing up to Oliver." Vic said to me.

"Well I had a lot to say, and I was tired of holding it in." I shrugged like it was no big deal, because it honestly wasn't.

"You're a lot more mature than what you were back in high school." He teased.

"Yeah, well things happen."I smiled.

"Yeah." Silence. 

"So, I was thinking.. I want to take you out." Vic said.

I gasped playfully "Vic! A married man, wants to take me, poor and pathetic, Kellin out. How scandalous." He laughed, flashing me that beautiful smile of his..

"Not like that, dummy. I want you and Jenna to join Beau and I tomorrow night, for dinner." Me? Out with Beau and Vic? I don't think so. before I could protest, Jenna came out of fucking nowhere, and answered for us.

"We would love that." She said, then disappearing.

"Great!" Vic pulled me into a hug, which caused those stupid fucking butterflies to start a war in my stomach. 

Well shit...
