How Did You Get To My Life (Kellin Quinn)

(XXXVI) Bury it under until it comes back

Emily's POV

I woke up with fear and adrenaline rushing through my vaines, I have to talk to Derek today. I was already behind schedule for the day.

I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and quickly straightened my hair, I usually curl it but I don't have time for that.

I grabbed my backpack and headed down the stairs to the kitchen. I was greeted with nothing but cold shoulders from everyone sitting at the table. I'm not mad, I'm happy that they went with my request. I do miss however when me and my real family all lived together and when I walked down the stairs I was greeted by good mornings and smiles from Logan, Kellin and mom. Those days were over now, I was basically alone.

I grabbed a pop-tart bag and left the kitchen. I slipped on my Vans and was out the door without a single word said.

While I was walking and getting closer and closer to school the nerves in my stomach kept growing. To calm them I unwrapped the pop-tarts and quickly ate them. By the time I was done though I was already across the street from the school.

My eyes scanned the front lawn while I waited for the walk symbol.
Tree, tree, bush, trashcan, group of people, another group of people, tree, Derek.

My breath hitched as he locked eye contact with me. Were these nerves or butterflies. The symbol indicated me to walk and so I did. I can't avoid this so I'd rather face it but frankly I don't even know what to say or do. I wish Kellin or Kailyn was here.

I walked as slow as possible towards him. When I finally reached him and he said "Hi." I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Hi" I replied getting a little bit more comfortable with the situation.

"So are we still going to talk after school?" He asked me his eyes almost begging me.

"Yea"

Thankfully the bell rung giving me more time through the rest of the day to think of what I'm going to do.

After English, Math, And History it's finally lunch. Even though I sit alone I'm thankful because it will give me a lot of time to think things through.

It shouldn't be that hard of a decision. I either want to give him a chance or I don't. Why can't I pick one. I thought back to what Kailyn said about if you truly like him to go for it. Do I truly like him. yes.

Is it worth sacrificing my last inch of pride. yes.

I have my answer. If this turns out to be all a huge lie thats ok because sometimes you have to take risks once in awhile. At this point I am just convincing myself that it is a good idea.

The bell rang and now that I don't have to think about this topic anymore I can focus on school.

I made my way to Choir ready for the end of the day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I met him after school like I said and right away he embraced me in a hug.

Kailyn's POV

For the past week it's been the same thing, the same routine every day. I drag myself out of my bed every morning. I am faced with so much school work I could drown in it, and mix that with a whole load of pressure from my principal.

What had happened in the last week, I made mental notes.

- I was still completely depressed and blocked out what happened at that house entirely and refused to talk to anyone even Kellin about it.
