Us Against The Law (Kellic) (boyxboy)

Someone's pretending to be on your side, don't be so foolish!

Yesterday was not a good day.

But it had me thinking. It had me doubting...had me worried.

There was no way in hell I'd be giving up this baby. That didn't mean I wasn't doubting myself though. What if I couldn't take care of him like I wanted to? What if the only option is to give him up for adoption? I don't want that. But what else is going to happen? Can Vic take him? How's he gonna do that? He can't raise him alone, I need to be there. I don't want to rot in here while my kid grows up alone in the arms of a stranger.

I sniffled, tears rushing down my face fast. I whimpered quietly, holding my breath so that no one could hear me. I was in the TV room, nobody was in here but I didn't want anyone in the hall hearing me.

"Kellin?"

But I had no such luck.

"Go away, please." I begged, covering my face with m hands. It was Jack.

"What's up?" He asked. I could hear the worry In his voice, and next thing I know, he's sitting down beside me on the cold floor.

I didn't want to answer him. He would only tell me that I should give up the baby. He'd tell me I wouldn't be on the floor in an empty room crying if I would just accept the offer or something. He just wouldn't understand. He'll never understand.

"Kellin, talk to me. Do I need to get Vic?"

"What I need, is for you to leave me alone!" I snapped, burying my face in my knees as I pulled them up.

"Is this about yesterday? I'm just trying to look out for you, things are going to be fine if you let go-"

I looked up in a flash.

"Let go of what? My fucking son?! Do you even hear yourself right now, Jack? I'm having a fucking baby! He's mine, I created him! Vic's gonna be here for me, he's-he's gonna make sure we're o-okay. I trust him. I don't need some old bitch taking him from me because she has money! Especially if that someone is Barakat's mom."

He stayed silent and I forced myself to look away from him. Why couldn't he just leave. He opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated before actually saying anything.

"Okay...I guess I haven't been very supportive then. You're right."

"I'm right?" I asked, almost determined.

"Yea." He looked away, at a far corner of the room. "You and Vic got this."

He stood up and then he left the room. I wiped at my face, starting to get cold. Leaving the room, I ran into someone I really didn't hope to see.

"Great, I can't get a fucking break today." I grumbled. My dad glared at me before stepping close.

"Don't go gettin' all sour on me. I wanted to tell you something, so don't change my mind." He spat. I rolled my eyes but looked at him expectantly anyway.

"Now, I'm not goin' all soft on ya, but I was wrong."

My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. My dad saying he's wrong? Am I hearing right?

"About what?" I asked cautiously.

"Everything. I haven't been here for ya like a father should. I've been a real piece of shit since I've stepped into this place. But that's no excuse for the way I've been treating you."

"I can't believe this. You're apologizing." I spoke in amazement. He wouldn't look at me but he grumbled angrily and shook his head.

"Don't get used to it." And he walked past me. Okay, so today is definitely better than yesterday.

•-•

"Vic...where are you? Come on..." I mumbled to myself. I wanted to tell him about my encounter with my dad. This was a big moment in history. I was feeling way too good to not want to brag.

Passing the TV room again, I looked through the large window and spotted everyone. And by everyone, I meant everyone.

My dad, Jack, Justin, Gabe, and even Vic. I quirked my eyebrow at them, not yet going in. What the fuck were they talking about?

They hadn't noticed I was there yet so I listened in.

"What? She came back? What for?" Justin asked.

"I don't know, she came to me instead of going straight to Kellin, I don't know why to me, but she had papers and everything." Gabe answered.

"Papers? For what?" Vic asked.

"Like...some fucking contract, I don't know. I left as soon as she said it was about the deal."

And that's when I stepped in.

"What deal?" I asked, the door slamming into the wall. They all looked up at me. Vic got up from his seat at the small round table and gave me a quick kiss as he put his arm around my back.

"Barakat's mom came to Gabe earlier." Vic spoke. Fear bubbles up inside me.

"Deal? What deal? What contract? What's happening?" I asked, frantic. Vic held me tighter, but not too tight.

"I don't know! I thought you were against it?" Gabe asked.

"I am! I never agreed to anything! Where the fuck would she get that idea? I mean, unless she talked to one of you and you..." I stopped. I frowned, looking at them all. "Wait...you wouldn't."

I shook my head. Of course. How could I be so naive?

"Wow." I shook my head, and laughed stupidly. I turned to my dad in fury. "That's why you apologized. I should have known better, you haven't been supportive about this at all! And suddenly in the hallway, you come around to say how sorry you are? And what a fucking coincidence that I find out you went behind my back the same day! I can't believe you! I actually started to think maybe things with us would be better, but you've gone and ruined that-"

"I didn't lie to you when I said I was sorry!" My dad scolded, standing up. "I may have not been the most support throughout all of this but I'm supporting you now!"

He came close to me to the point where our foreheads were almost touching and Vic was holding me protectively.

"How could you possibly think I would do this to you?" He was angry, but most of all, I could tell that he was hurt. It wasn't a familiar look from him, so I was a little taken aback when I saw it swimming through his eyes. Just before things could blow up anymore and my dad could storm out, somebody spoke up. Vic's arms unwrapped around me as the words were spoken.

"It was me, okay?! I did it! I fucking made the deal.."

A/N: I'm so sorry it's late again ;-; ugh I'm just busy or I feel like dog shit at the bottom of a pit.
