Vic's POV

My hands sting from the acid so much. Danny has a tissue stuck up his nose and it looks absolutely hilarious. I wish Kellin was here so we could laugh about it together. I stared into the corner of the medical room and started thinking about Kellin. I hope he was okay and not in much trouble. I mean, he shouldn't have punched Danny but Danny did pour acid all over my hands and kick me in the ribs. Which only me, Kellin, Danny and his friends knew about... telling anyone else about that would be a bad move.

I was disturbed from my day dream by the nurse and I came back to reality. My hand was killing me. She dabbed it with a wet cloth. It looked horrible. The nurse wrapped it up with a bandage and told me I could go after taking some pain killers. 

By the time i'd got out of the medical room it was break. I looked around for Kellin but there was no sign of him. Dread hit me. He's been expelled. I knew he had. He must have. I started crying, not caring what anyone else thought. 'I'll move to the same school as him.' I told myself. But that didn't stop the tears.

'Hey!' I heard someone yell. I turned around. Oh god. It's Oli. He doesn't look happy. He grabbed my sleeve, and pulled me down to the end of the field, where no one goes. 'Why has he taken me here? What's he going to do to me?' I thought to myself. To be honest I don't care anymore. I just want it all to end. It's all becoming too much for me to handle. And now Kellin's gone, I won't be able to take it anymore. 'Just do what you need to do and leave' I sobbed. I was scared, but that didn't matter.

'Yeah ,Damn right' He spat. And by the cruel look on his face, I knew it was going to be nasty. 'I'm gunna kill you, you little brat' He whispered in my ears. I closed my eyes. If he actually was going to kill me, the last thing I wanted to be thinking about was Kellin. I felt a blunt object hit me over the head. I fell to the floor. 

The last thing I thought of was Kellin laughing, his laugh repeated In my head until slowly, everything disappeared.

Kellin's POV

I hope Vic's okay. He won't be happy when he finds out about my punishment. 

I heard the home phone ring. It wasn't mine to pick up, but his mom wasn't home for another month now, so I had no choice to, just incase it was important. 

I picked it up, 'Hello?' I said into the phone. I gasped and dropped the phone to the floor. 'No' I whispered to myself 'NO!' I yelled.

I'd just got a phone call from the school saying Vic had been sent to the hospital after being hit over the head with a blunt object

I grabbed my bike as quickly as possible and cycled all the way to the towns hospital. 

'I'm here for Vic Fuentes' I said in a panic to the receptionist. 

'Okay,' she said, 'I'll check to see if he's awake and allowed visitors.' 

I nodded and waited in the waiting room nervously. The nurse walked back in with a smile on her face and said 'He's still not woken up, but feel free to go in. May I ask what your relationship is with Mr Fuentes? A friend?' She asked 'Boyfriend' I replied to her question. She just smiled and nodded.

I walked in and saw Vic lying there on the hospital bed, motionless. Dozens of tubes came out from different places. He had a blood stained bandage wrapped round his head. 'Oh vic!' I cried out. 'I'm so sorry!' I was aware that he couldn't hear me. 'You warned me! But I didn't listen.' I burst out crying 'It's all my fault!' I screamed 'I'm so sorry!' Tears ran all down my face.

'It's not your fault' I heard Vic mutter. Okay. He was awake. He slowly opened his eyes.

'Ow' He muttered, touching his head. 'I'm so sorry." I cried, tears still rolling down my face. 'It's not your fault' He repeated. 

I knew it was, but I just nodded. I hate myself for it. Just seeing him lying there. It's got too far now. That asshole put him in hospital. And it was my fault. I can't live with myself.

Vic must have seen the expression on my face because he grabbed my hand and said ' Please, It's not your fault' I smiled at him. I'm so lucky to have him. The nurse walked in and smiled. 'You can go home tomorrow.' She said. 'You're very lucky, most people are in hospital for ages after what happened to you.' She smiled and walked out, leaving us both alone again.

Vic's POV

My head hurts so much. At least it's numbed the pain from my hands.

The nurse said I could leave the hospital tomorrow. So that's good.

I suddenly sat upright, remembering the acid incident. 

Pain shot through my head, but that didn't matter. Had Kellin been expelled? 

'Woah!' Kellin said in shock. 'Lay back down!' He said, looking worried. 

'What happened? Have you been expelled!?' I screamed. Kellin smiled at me. 'No.' He said to me. I smiled and lay back down. Kellin stopped smiling. 'But..' He said, a sad expression appeared on his face. Dread hit me like a train.  'I've been excluded for 1 week' He said. No. 1 Whole week on my own. I couldn't handle that. 'No' I whispered. 'I'm so sorry' He said sadly. 

I started to cry. 'No!' I sobbed. Kellin looked at me and cried with me. 

'I can't do it!" I sobbed. 'It's too long! You were gone for not even 1 hour and i'm in bloody hospital! I can't go a week without you!' I screamed. Kellin buried his face in his hands and sobbed. I heard him mutter 'I'm so sorry' a couple of times. 

I couldn't believe this had happened. 

He's going to stay round my house for the week, though. So whenever I come home, he'll be there.

I'm scared. Not of Danny or Oli. But of myself.

How am I going to cope?
