I Wouldn't Change A Thing (Kellin Quentes)

Chapter 4

Kellin's POV

It was now ten and I knew that Marie was out for the night. Vic and I were still talking. I mean he was one hell of a person.

There was nothing more then a friendship sparking between us. It at least that's what he was giving hints for. And by the way me and Justin lost a bet so we have to get something pierced. Fun! Not.

But I feel it was a mistake to kiss Vic. I didn't want my first kiss to be with someone who ended up meaning nothing. But Vic intended the first one where I didn't know how to. And when I was drunk doesn't count. That was with Justin and just ew.

He kept yawning though and I could see that he was tired. "You should go to sleep." I giggled. He rubbed his eyes. "I probably should. You need to too." He pointed to me as he got up. I nodded and stood, "Thank you for letting us stay. It won't be long I swear."

"Don't worry about it. When you guys get up and stuff there's towels in the cabinet along with some of Hermione's clothes Marie can steal. You can steal some of mine if you need too." He told. I rolled my eyes before thanking him and went up to the room where Marie was sleeping. I laid down next to her and she rolled over to me.

"I don't wanna leave, Kellin." She whispered. "I don't either. We've got to though, they don't trust me to be your guardian. Trust me though, it won't be forever. We've still got two weeks, they're flying us out the day after trial." I moved the hair from her face.

"Do you like Vic? I think he likes you. I don't want you to leave him. You've never liked anyone like that. And what about Justin, gabby, nick, jack, you can't leave them!" She started crying. "And I don't wanna leave Hermione..."

I bit my lip. "I'm sorry. I just... I'm sorry." I started crying myself. "I don't blame you. I just wanna stay." She reclaimed herself. "Go back to sleep, we'll deal with it after school tomorrow. Do you wanna go with me when we get something pierced in the morning?" I asked.

She nodded before laying her head on me. I held her close as I let myself fall asleep.

When I woke up a noticed it was an hour before Marie needed up and she was no longer on me but next to me.

I stood up and walked quietly down the stairs and outside to his porch. I just sat down before digging in my pocket. I got out the box cigarettes and just looked at it.

I had gotten them today after we left the police station, while Marie used the restroom. I don't wanna go away. I don't wanna leave Marie. She doesn't know yet, but they texted me. I'm better! I tell you I'm better!

I took one and lit it behind my back, I knew I shouldn't have because when it's lit, I can't not bring it to lips. I breathed in the poison, I missed it. I took a look up to moon. I couldn't see it through the blinding rain.

"I thought you said you didn't smoke." A voice from behind me spoke softly before sitting next to me.

"I hadn't." I shrugged and blew the toxic out. "Why?"

"Bad things are gunna happen within this month. Can't legally talk about it either." I sarcastically laughed. He wrapped and arm around my shoulder.

"Let me try it." He held his other hand out.

"What? No!" I put it away from my mouth and away from him

"You took a hit, now I'm going to. If you take another then so will I. What you do, I do to. No matter how bad." He looked at me with those eyes. "Just once. Then if you put it out we'll be okay."

His words got to me, like not in a bad way.

"Do you have to? I could just it out now?" I was practically begging but he shook his head and held out his hand.
