"KELLLLLIIINN!!" I hear my grandmother yell waking me up. "Ugh" I sigh getting up. You know for an old lady she has a pretty loud voice. And that's not a compliment. But she does this everyday so I got used to it. I drag myself out of bed and change into that hideous uniform. And I don't eat breakfast, I just leave the house. As I walk to the spot where we meet there's one thing that I can't stop thinking about from last year.

*flashback*

I came back from school and it was miserable. Matty was with his girlfriend so I didn't get to see him, I failed two tests and it's the anniversary of the last time I saw Vic. So I was already not in a good mood. People at this damn school kept trying to trip me in the hallway, and yelling slurs at me, when I walked by. So i feel like crap and don't have anyone to talk to about it.

I yell into my pillow hoping that it will relief some anger but it's not helping, I just feel so isolated and alone, thanks grandparents. I walk into the bathroom to take a hot shower hoping it will help me. It doesn't, then I look at the bottle of pain killers sitting on the counter. I wasn't never one to believe in suicide, but the idea had been lingering in the back of my mind for a while now. I grab the bottle just holding it.

Then I think of Vic, and I start to cry. What would he think of me now? What if we never see each other again? I cried harder. But as I was going to open it. What if we he still does love me? I have to be stronger for him, I have to, because I love Vic with all my heart. I set the bottle down and I left the bathroom and cried into my pillow for the rest of the night. I still have that small hope that Vic is waiting for me, and that's what I'm going to hang on to.

*end flashback*

I head to the spot Matty and I meet up. He's there waiting for me. I knock in the window and he smiled and unlocks the door. "Hi Kellin" he says to me. "Hi" I say and I get into his car. And he drives to school, at least I think school. "Uhh, Matty, we passed the school?" I question. "Yeah I know, I'm not going" he said. "So your going to ditch?" I ask. "Oh come on Kel, don't be such a goodie" he says to me. Normally I wouldn't care if we ditch, I used to ditch all the time. But I don't want to have to deal with my grandparents. So I don't do it as often. "Hey, I don't care, you just didn't tell me, we were doing this, then I would have different clothes" I told him. "Then there's nothing to worry about" he said. "What are we going to do then" I asked him.

As he explained I was excited. It sounds like fun. And different. So first he goes to the mall and he wanted to get his nose pierced. When we get there I decide to get my nose pierced too. Last time we did this was over the summer when we were able to trick my grandparents to let me out of the house, and he got his ears pierced and so did i, but that wasn't the only thing else, I got my lip pierced and a tattoo. When my grandmother found out I was grounded for a month. She said it was unholy to litter your body with ink, and holes. That's when I got a music note on my arm, I forgot what Matty got. Now we're getting our noses pierced, which reminds me Vic has a nose piercing too. Vic... I sigh, I wonder what he's doing now? "Kellin!?" Matty snapped me out my thoughts of Vic. "What?" I question. "Nothing, you zoned out" He said to me. "Oh, sorry" I apologize to him. And it's now my turn. And the lady did what I asked and, boom now I have a nose ring. "So now what Matty?" I asked him. "I have two more stops then we can go home" He says. And I follow him to the other end of the mall and up to the second floor and right into the hot topic, I wasn't complaining, I love that store and they don't let me go there, as much as I wanted to buy everything in there, I didn't cause I know the second I get back to their house it's gone, Matty bought new gauges for his ears, Matty gives me his old ones each time he buys a new pair, they don't know cause my hair covers them. Anyway, once he's done there we leave the mall. "Matty where are we going now?" I asked him. "Relax, I want to get another tat, so I'm going over there" he says. That doesn't sound like such a bad idea, I've wanted a chest tattoo for a while. When we got there Matty got his tattoo, cause he obviously planned it all out already, I took a bit more time, since this is last minute for me I had too think about what I wanted it to say. After five minutes or so I finally figured it out. In case your wondering, Matty is 18 and he poses as my brother so I could get mine.

Once we both finished, Matty dropped me off a block away from their house and I walked the rest of the way back. "They're going to kill me" I whisper to myself. Then I realized that they're not here, yet, and I have time to be time alone. Which is rare lately. I walk back into the room they let me use, I don't like calling it my room, cause it's not. Then I start to think, I've tried to run away from here, at least four times, now and I've gotten caught, each time, I can never get far enough before they find me. But I've been planning my escape for on my birthday, and it better work.

I wake up the next morning early, so I can avoid my grandparents, cause if they see me I'm going to be in so much trouble from yesterday. I get ready, and I change and I then walk down to the spot where I meet Matty. Since I was so early I had to wait a while for him. But he showed up, and we went to school.

~time skip~

As I sit in the cafeteria and wait for Matty to show up, I take sips of my iced tea, and I continue to plan my escape from his hell. And I'm excited to tell Matty my plans. But then my thoughts drift back to Vic. Matty eventually shows up. "Hey Matty, I have to tell you my new plan" I say getting a bit excited. "Plan for I what?" He asked me. "My escape" I tell him. "Oh, ok" he said. "Ok so since there's school on my birthday, I'm bringing extra clothes to change into, then I'm going to ask you if you drive me to the airport, and I'm going to fly back home" I explain to him. "Kellin, um, I don't know your boyfriend, but if you just show up after not speaking for two years, don't you think he'd be like mad or something?" He asked, shit I haven't thought of that. "I mean I guess, but it's Vic" I tell him. "Look I think you should tell him before you just show up, and you know, explain a few things to him" Matty said to me. "Yes Matty and how exactly can I do that, I don't have my phone or laptop?" I asked him, with a hit of sarcasm.

He gave me a 'your so stupid' look. "What" I say. "Has ever crossed your mind to write him a letter and mail it?" I says to me. Shit now I do feel stupid. "Noooo......" I drift off saying. He then gave me an 'I told you so look' "Well, so that first, cause if I were Vic, I would want an explanation from you" Matty said to me and I thought about it and I was very much going to do that. "Oh, one last thing Kel,..." He asked. "Yeah" I respond. "Do you even have enough money to take a plane there?" I thought for a moment. "How much does it cost ?" I asked. He shrugged. "Can I use your phone to look it up?" I asked him. And he handed over this phone and I looked. "2 grand!" I said. "Kellin, I don't think that's right" he said to me. So I looked again. "Oh about 500" I told him. "Yeah that sounds about right" he said. I gave him back his phone and then the bell rang and we separated. We don't have any classes together, only lunch. And I couldn't wait to to get back so I can write that letter to Vic and explain everything to him.
