Chapter 22

VIC'S POV
Thankfully everyone seemed to get on with Kellin's dad. He seemed like a real nice guy. He was with two other people: Alan and Austin.  Alan and Austin had been dating since they were young kids and to be honest, they were so cute together.

We all sat in a circle, eating spaghetti that we found in Walmart. It took a while to heat up as the only object we have is a small cigarette lighter, but it's better than nothing.

Kellin wiped his mouth and looked at his dad curiously. 'Dad?' He asked. Jeuse nodded. 'W-why did you leave?'

As nice as Jeuse was, part of me still disliked him slightly for leaving kellin with  that hag of a woman.

He sighed and put his bowl down. 'It's a long story, but i guess we have time...' he sighed. 'When you were, what, five? I got diagnosed with insomnia and depression. At first your mom was very supportive of me and she helped me a lot. Sometimes she would stay awake through the nights with me. But one day she snapped. She told me she was fed up of me lurking around downstairs when she was sleeping, she said it discomforted her. I told her that I couldn't help it, you know? I couldn't get to sleep and I knew it, so what's the point of laying in bed with her just blankly staring at the ceiling? Anyway, my depression started getting worse and the only thing I found joy in was you. But then you started to go to school. I remember you on your first day, you couldn't wait.' He said with a smile, 'but that meant I saw less of you, and that killed me. Your mom got a job in Tim Hortons, which was from early morning to late night so I was left alone all day. I'd been fired from my job because I was constantly so tired due to lack of sleep. I got so lonely, so one day I went to the school and took you out, I made some sort of 'family issue' excuse and we spent the day in our pyjamas, watching movies. I loved every moment of that day.' He said. Kellin had tears streaming down his face by now, I gripped his hand and squeezed it. 'But, my luck, your moms shift finished early. She came home and saw us two cuddled on the sofa. She was so mad. She wanted you to get the best education possible, she couldn't believe I had taken you out the school for one day. Anyway, we had a massive argument and she told me to leave. I literally cannot put into words how shocked I was. She called me a freak. Anyway, I asked her about you, like when I'd be able to have you and all that and at first she let me spend three days a week with you. I mean, it could've been worse but, I don't know..' he sighed.
'I looked forward to the three days we had every week. We always made the most of it, so one day I took you to the theme park. I literally had the time of my life with you. We went on all the rides that you were tall enough to go on, we had ice cream and McDonalds. I remember you only had mozzarella sticks coz you told me you wanted to be a vegetarian.' He said with a small chuckle, which followed with a frown. 'We went home to find your mom sat on the couch looking furious. She told me that three people had been seriously injured the week before on one of the rides and she couldn't believe I had risked that. She was so mad. I didn't think it was a big deal, I mean, if the ride was broken that means they fixed it, so there's actually a less bigger chance of anyone getting hurt, be she wouldn't listen.She told me to never go near you again. I was literally... stunned. I h-had.. I-i didn't know what to do. You were my life, you are my life. I couldn't believe it. I said goodbye to you and went back to my house thinking it was just in the heat of the moment. So I went back the next week to pick you up like usual, but she wouldn't let me near you. I-I tried to reason with her but she wouldn't change her mind. I kept coming back everyday, trying again. I would've done anything for you.  But on the, what, tenth time? She called the police and got a restraining order against me. It broke my heart, it literally did. But it didn't stop me, I came back again but this time I was arrested, I was only kept in over night but they made me move house, as far away as possible. ' His voice broke slightly, 'so I did. I had no choice. I fell into such a deep depression that I couldn't even get myself out of bed in the mornings. I just laid there, staring at the ceiling, imagining of what we could've been doing. My insomnia got much worse too. It got so bad that it got to the point where I'd go three days without sleep. Five years passed, I went back to LA to see you again, I couldn't go any longer without seeing you. I went back to the house b-but you weren't there. You had moved away. I was broken. Any chance I had of meeting you again was gone to me. I don't even know how I survived up until now. But I guess I did, and I found you.'  He finished. The whole group were now in tears. My heart ached for the two of them so much.

I was honestly so happy they had been reunited. My spaghetti had gone cold, but right now, I didn't care. His dad hugged Kellin like his life depended on it, still sobbing uncontrollably.

I couldn't be happier that they found each other..
