[Completed]
Kellin Quinn is a high school senior with a one year old daughter he's no longer able to take care of. His father and step mother don't support him, the mother of his child left, and it seems as though there's nobody else willing to...
I have one more week. One more week to get everything out of my apartment and sell it, because I can't think of what else to do. I actually have to miss Christmas this year, because I'll probably be too busy packing.
I grab some of Copeland's old clothes and find a box full of old stuff to sell, adding the clothes. I keep her very first outfit, though, just because it's just something I feel like I need to hold on to. I wipe a dripping tear off my cheek and sniff, trying not to let anything else out. Vic brings me an empty cardboard box (because, of course, his way-too-kind ass had to help me out), and I put more old clothes into it.
He stops walking when he hears me whimper slightly, more tears escaping my eyes. I feel his arms encompass me and I just let it out. I don't care how I sound or what I look like, right now Vic is what matters. This calms me down slightly, but I know I'm viciously gripping onto his shirt, sobs wracking my body.
"Kellin," he whispers, his lips so close to my ear. I try to focus on his voice, since I can feel the panic rising in my chest. It's always so hard though, because you feel like you can't breathe and everything just gets so hard to focus on. "Kellin," he whispers again, his lips actually brushing against my ear.
"Vic," I whisper in reply through the tears. "Vic, I-I can't do this." He pulls me into his chest, holding me close to him and rubbing my hair. Typically, it would make me so uncomfortable, but I find it so kind in this moment. I feel my heart going out to Vic, I feel myself falling for him again.
I look up at him and realize that he's crying too. Only a few months ago, we were complete strangers, and now we're extremely close. I honestly feel like I love him, and that doesn't seem like a good thing to me at all. How can I love him? We' haven't known each other long enough for this to be love...
"Kellin," he whispers my name for a third time, a tear slipping down his cheek. My heart cracks just a little bit more when I see how much he genuinely cares for Copeland and me. I feel a tear sliding down my own cheek and he brushes it away with his thumb. "God, Kellin," he continues.
I give him a confused look. "What? What did I do?" I ask, already feeling ashamed of something that I'm not even aware of. "Vic?" I ask his name after he doesn't reply. A slight smile creeps onto his lips. I'm truly confused now.
"Oh, Kellin Quinn, I care about you so much. So much more than I thought I would," he continues whispering. "At first I thought it was because there was something wrong with me, but I get it now."
"Get what?" I ask before he presses a finger to my lips. He pulls it away and brings his face closer to mine, causing my heart to beat way faster than it should in my chest. Am I going to have a panic attack?
"That it's actually because I like you. Maybe more than I should. But god dammit, I want to be with you," he replies. I widen my eyes at him for a second before I feel him pull me closer to him. Next thing I know, he's kissing me. And it's even better than I had been imagining for the past, at least, two months.
It was so perfect, and I never wanted it to end. Except, the second it was, I wanted more. I just wanted to be in Vic's arms for the rest of my life. I'm so safe and loved. I never want that moment to end.
Of course, it did end, though. Vic pulls away from me and I stare at him. He blinks a couple of times before frowning and I feel my heart drop. He's frowning, which means this can't be what he wanted... "Kellin, I shouldn't have done that," he says, above a whisper, but still beyond quiet.
"Why?" I ask, feeling tears welling up in my eyes again. I think he finally notices the emotion and he shakes his head quickly.
"It isn't because I don't like you or anything," he says, causing my tears to stop welling up as much. "It's because I just- I don't know if you're in a relationship or anything. I feel so stupid, I-"
I cover his lips this time, a small smile forming on mine. "Trust me, I don't have anybody. Unless you want to be that somebody?" I ask, almost awkwardly.
"Definitely," he replies, pulling me back into a warm hug.
