Kellin.

Ch 24

Kellin woke up to the smell of bacon and on any other day, he'd be pleased about it but no one should be in his house so right now he's very concerned.

If they came back early, he'd actually cry.

With a sigh, he got out of bed and quietly peeked into his parents room and Daniels room.

There were no suitcases.

Who's in his house?

Kellin snuck into Daniels room and grabbed the baseball bat. He tiptoed down the stairs and around the corner when he bumped into a human body. Kellin swung the bat and hit the person on the back, making them groan out in pain.

"Shit!" They groaned as they laid on the floor. Kellin let go of the bat and brought his hands to his face. "Why'd you drop it on my head?"

"Vic?" Mike called out. "What's going on?" He walked out of the kitchen and raised an eyebrow.

"I'm so sorry." Kellin said as he helped Vic off the floor. "I didn't, I don't, sorry." Kellin but his lower lip to stop the smile that threatened to appear on his face.

Kellin and Mike helped Vic sit on the couch where he exhaled slowly and painfully.

"Why'd you do that?" Vic asked.

"Why are you guys in my house?"

"Vic was wasted and wanted to see you." Mike said as he stood up.

"Oh."

"I'll leave you guys here while I finish cooking."

"Kells," Vic said quietly, turning his head to look at him. "Why are you mad at me?"

"You can drop the act." Kellin replied in his same boring, monotone voice. "I know all about your dare." He whispered.

"What dare?" Vic asked, genuinely confused.

Kellin turned to glare at him, looking into his eyes and realizing that Vic actually had no clue what he was talking about.

"Oh god." Kellin groaned, resting his forehead on his knees. "Oh god, oh god." He stood up and began pacing in front of Vic, stopping in front of him with his arms crossed. "You seriously have no clue what I was talking about?"

"No."

"I'm such an asshole." Kellin said as he began pacing. "Let me brush my teeth and I'll be right back."

A few minutes later, Kellin came back downstairs and into he kitchen, where the other two boys were sitting.

"When we're done eating, I have to go see Tone and Hines so I'm leaving you both here." Mike said casually as he cut into his sausage.

"I, uh, have plans." Kellin mumbled, pushing his eggs around.

"With who?" Vic asked quickly.

"You don't know them."

"What time are you meeting them?" Mike asked.

"In an hour."

"We can wait for them with you."

"I'm walking to where we're meeting up." Kellin replied.

"We can drive you there."

"Goddamit!" Kellin said, slamming his hands on the table while he stood up, mmaking the chair fall backwards. "I don't want to talk to Vic! I'm not gonna listen to him lie out his teeth like it's nothing! I'm not gonna be his god damn fool!" Kellin stormed out the kitchen and locked himself in his room.

"I already told him I don't know what he was talking about." Vic whispered, trying hard to not cry.

"Go talk to him." Mike said after sipping his coffee. "I'll cleanup."

Vic got up and quietly walked to Kellin's room. "Kells?" He said softly after knocking.

"The person you're trying to contact isn't here, go away."

"Can I leave a message?"

"No."

"When Kellin comes back, tell him that I already told him I don't know what he was talking about and that even though it's not my fault, I'm sorry."

The door opened and Kellin pulled Vic into his room.

"I'm sorry, I guess." Kellin said as he went to sit back down on his bed. "I just, you wouldn't do that, would you? Play me like a fool?"

"No." Vic replied before sitting next to him. "I don't know where you got that idea but I'd never hurt you."

"I got a note. Someone knows about what we do and they said you were dared to do that with me and once you got what you wanted, you had to leave."

"There's only three people who know." Vic whispered. "Mike, Himes and Tone. But they wouldn't say anything to anyone."

"Well someone did."

"Do you have the note?" Vic asked. Kellin got up and went to his backpack, pulling out a crumpled piece of paper and tossing it at Vic. When he opened it up, he got angry. "I know who wrote it."

"Who?"

"Danielle."

"How'd she know though?"

"I don't know but I'll find out. Just, if her or anyone else she hangs out with bothers you or tells you anything, ignore them ok? I like you Kells and I would never play with you." Vic said, looking into his eyes.

"How, um, how much do you like me?" Kellin asked, blushing heavily.

"A lot. So much that I want you to be my boyfriend."

Kellin looked down as his heart thumped faster and his entire face and tips of his ears became a dark shade of pink.

"O-ok." He whispered.

"You'd let me be your boyfriend?"

"Yeah." Kellin never thought he'd land himself a boyfriend. Ok, well, he did but not someone outgoing or popular. He thought he'd get someone boring and realistic as well but here we are. "Just, I don't care if the whole school knows just like not too much PDA yeah?"

"Yeah sure. Because I know I'll get a lot of kisses from you when we're alone."

"Shut up!" Kellin said, lightly pushing Vic on the shoulder.

"Is that a smile I see?" Vic teased.

"Ugh, I regret saying yes. I quit." Kellin replied, looking up with a teasing smile.

"No!" Vic whined, hugging Kellin tightly. "You're mine."

"Whatever."

Vic smiled at him and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you." He said. "I really like you, babe."
