The love project sequel (kellic)

Chapter 14

I had been looking forward to this date with Vic all week until today at school. Lately I had really been wishing we'd never broken up and that I'd tried harder not to cause arguments between us when we were dating. Vic was so sweet and kind and he never deserved to get his heart broken. It just so happened that during lunch period, when I was sat with hunter and all of his friends, a reminder popped up on my phone, reminding me to pick Vic up at seven. I reached for my phone on the table, smiling at the thought of seeing Vic when someone's hand swooped in and snatched it up before I could. It was Hunter and he was frowning down at the phone. A sense of panick bolted through my body and his eyes flitted over the screen.

"Well, it seems Kellin here is back with his loser boyfriend is this true?" He sneered at me.

"Well, uh, n-no not exactly," I stuttered truthfully.

"I sure hope not, because if you ever so much as talk to Vic again we will hurt you and that's a promise," he hissed, pulling me closer to him by my shirt collar.

I felt like crying after that, but nevertheless I decided to go on the date that evening because I figured how would they know and it would be worth it just to spend some time with Vic.

When I first arrived at Vic's I was being kind of cold towards him. I had no idea why, I guess just a bad mood from the argument.

Then I accidentally pulled his arm hard outside the restaurant and he fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

I picked him up, mumbling soothing words and rubbing his sore back. It felt great to hold him in my arms again and I couldn't help but smile at him. He smiled back up at me and when he did I felt happy for the first time since breaking up with him because I could see that soft meaningful smile.

After that, our date went pretty smoothly that was until the worst thing that could have possibly happened happened. Hunter and all his friends showed up.

As they sneered at us unkindly through the window Vic tried to take my hand to reassure me, but I shook it off, hoping they wouldn't think we were on a date. The look of heartbreak on Vic's face when I did that was unbearable.

They burst into the restaurant and of course I had to oblige and follow them out. As they pulled me off down the street I looked back at Vic in the restaurant, his posture was slumped and he was looking down as tears rolled down his face. It felt like ripping my heart out of my chest as I was pulled along the street.
SLIGHT VIOLENCE WARNING

As Hunter and his friends landed punches in my stomach and across my face, I closed my eyes and thought of that happy boy in the restaurant earlier. His smile made its way into my thoughts, the way his nose crinkled and his eyes softened and filled with light. I smiled at the thought as I was punched repeatedly across the face and ignored the pain, focusing on thinking about Vic. Eventually, they left me lying on the street, bruised and in pain. The only thing helping me through the pain was thinking of Vic. I imagined him coming to find me and cuddling me into his safe warm arms.

This of course didn't happen.

I grit my teeth and pulled myself up off the cold concrete. I began to make my way down the street, hoping to get to Vic before he thought I'd ditched him and left. By the time I reached the front of the restaurant Vic was gone, leaving me to drive home on my own.
