Chapter 14

~Kellin's Pov.~

Once we got to the restaurant and got seated and everything, we started to get bored. There was classical music playing in the low lit room, and we were seated by a window with sparkling lights outside, hanging from the power lines. Candles were lit everywhere and the whole atmosphere made me uncomfortable. Apparently I wasn't the only one.

"Is anyone else here a bit uncomfortable?" Jenna asked us all.

"Yes." Vic, Beau, and I all said at the same time.  

"Thought so," Jenna sighed. 

"Jenna, have you spoke to Tay lately?" I asked her.

"Actually, yeah. I meant to talk to you about that.." She said, looking a little cautious.

"About what?" I asked quickly. "Is she okay? Did something happen?" My heart started racing at the thought of something could have possibly happened to one of  my best friends.

"What? No! She's fine!" She gushed. "She's actually coming back from her sisters early.. and she wants me to come home." 

"What? You're leaving?" I asked. 

"Yeah.. You're coming too, though, right?" It would make since for me to leave with her, considering the only thing keeping me here is Vic, and he doesn't even want me, so what's the point of staying. 

"Yeah.. Of course." I said slowly. I turned my gaze towards Vic who, surprisingly, looked sad. Why would he be sad with me leaving? "There's nothing for me here anyways.."I was sad to be leaving to be honest. Even though there's was nothing that was gonna happen between Vic and I, I would still like to pursue our friendship. He's been trying really hard lately to make sure I was okay, and to just be a caring friend, in which I found comfort in. I'd be lying if I said I didn't develop feelings for Vic.

"You guys are leaving so soon, what a shame." Beau's commented. I looked at him to see a devilish smirk on his face. I could see the joy in his eyes at the sound of me leaving. Usually when he made snarky comments at me, I would just brush them off but this time something in me sparked. My blood was boiling and my face was probably a thousand different shades of red.

"You're such an asshole." I snapped, before getting up and walking out of the restaurant, earning a bunch of disapproving looks from surrounding tables but I honestly did not care.  
Vic was behind me, calling my name but I pretended like I didn't hear him.

I've put up with Beau and his bullshit for long enough, and tonight I'm not putting up with it.

I hate how I've gotten so upset over his stupid little comment. He shouldn't have this kind of control over me.

Memories washed over me and my chest started hurting. Tears were pooling up in my eyes and soon I was sobbing while walking down the dark, lonely road. I'm weak. I let Beau get to me, and now it's 3 years later but I'm still as weak I was back in high school. The thought of what Beau done to parents had me breathing heavy. The fact that he could hurt me, just as bad as my parents, at anytime had in constant fear.

"Kellin!" Someone behind me yelled. I didn't hear them over my sobbing. My breath was caught in my throat. I felt like I couldn't breath. I stopped in a nearby alley, trying to calm myself down. My back was against the brick wall but then my knees gave out. Normally I would have a huge problem with sitting on the ground of a dirty alley, but none of that seemed to matter as soon as Vic came rushing over to me.

"Kells. What's wrong? Please calm down." He soothed me. I immediately felt a sense of relief wash over me. He cupped the side of my face looking me deep in the eyes. He was searching for something. What?  I have no idea. He waited a while before speaking. My sobs have just turned into gentle crying by now.

"Kells, what happened back there?" He asked, seriously. 

"I don't know." My voice was groggy and I felt dizzy. footsteps were heard and I just thought they belonged to Jenna, but they also belonged to Beau.

"Damn Kellin, are you alright?" Beau asked me, lacking enthusiasm. He didn't care. He didn't care one bit, but since he seems like he doesn't care, then neither do I.

"You." I stood up walking towards him. I pointed my finger into his chest and he backed up a little bit. "You know I'm not alright. So stop asking me. We all know why you're doing it.. Ya know, everyone except Vic." I wasn't very sure where I was going with this but I'm going to tell Vic the truth. Tonight. 

"You shut your fucking mouth, Quinn." He threatened, but I brushed it off. What could he possibly do to me with Vic around?

"What don't I know?" Vic stepped in between Beau and I to make sure no punches were being swung. He obviously could see the rage in my eyes, and my hands curled into fists.

No one said anything and it was kind of awkward to be honest. Beau and I were staring each other down with such fire in our eyes. Vic kept looking between us two and Jenna.. Well I have no idea where Jenna went.

"He's the reason we broke up." I whispered. I don't know what came over me but I went from seeing red, to this feeling of sorrow. I once again felt weak, but I tried to hide it the best that I could. 

"What? Kellin what're you talking about?" Vic asked.

"Nothing. He's obviously hurt over something stupid so he doesn't know what he's saying." Beau said. His words came out rushed and it's obvious he had something to hide. 

"Beau, shut the fuck up and let Kellin speak." He snapped at his husband. 

I wanted to tell him, I really did. But the words just would not come out of my mouth, even though they were on the tip of my tongue. I've always hated confrontation and I've never been in a situation like this before so I didn't know how to come out and say it. I wanted to leave.. just disappear for a while until I could  find the words to converse, but this conversation was inevitable.  

"Kellin?" After I didn't say anything, Jenna came from fucking nowhere and spoke.

"Beau cut the breaks on Kellin's parents car causing them to wreck and almost lose their lives." She said. I looked at her face, it had no emotion whatsoever. Mine was just pure shock, How was it so easy for her to say the words that I couldn't? "He did it because at the time, Beau was hurt that you broke things off with him. So he threatened Kellin's family so that you-" She pointed to Vic. "And Kellin would break up, and Beau would be there to comfort you. He knew how gullible you were, so he took advantage of you." When she finished I looked at Vic's face. Much like Jenna's, it was emotionless. For a split second I saw a flash of anger and regret in his eyes, but it was gone just as fast as it appeared.

Vic turned to Beau and did something I never in a million ears thought he would do. He slapped him. His hand sliding swiftly across Beau's check, causing a loud noise from the impact. He then walked away without another word. Once he left, Beau looked at me with the same fiery eyes I had earlier that night. He lunged his body at mine, causing a collision with my head and the brick wall. He punched me in the the face and kicked me in the ribs. His attack caused memories from Oliver doing the same thing to me, to come back. Hot tears were built up in my eyes, threatening to spill, so I let them. 

Before he could finish his assault, Jenna caught his fist, and kicked him in the balls. It was really funny to watch but I couldn't laugh, I couldn't feel anything except the blood trickling from my face.

She grabbed Beau by the throat and Pinned him against the wall. She reached into her pocket and pulled out an 11 Inch Italian Stiletto Switchblade,putting it to his throat.  Despite the pain that I was feeling, I was able to speak.

"Jenna, what the fuck are you doing?!" I whisper yelled.

"Listen to me, and you listen good. If you ever-" She paused, her grip on the knife to Beau's throat, physically getting tighter. "Put your hands on Kellin, or anyone on that bus back there-" She was referring to the venue Vic's tour bus was parked at. "Then I will not hesitate to slit your throat. Do you understand?" She spat harshly at him. He didn't speak but his eyes held nothing but complete and utter fear. I nodded my head towards her and she let him go. He took a sharp intake of air before running off in the opposite direction Vic did earlier.

"I love you." I said, running into her arms. She held me tight, but not too tight to cause any pain to my ribs.

"I love you too Kells."
