Chapter 4

KELLIN'S POV

Fear coursed through my body.
I fake laughed, 'what?'
'I saw you. You walked through that door.' He stated, pointing towards the door.
I laughed again and shook my head, 'I think you're imagining things. That's impossible'
He frowned.
'Look me in the eyes and tell me you didn't walk straight through that door.'
'I didn't walk through that door.' I said, staring directly into his deep brown eyes.

Our eyes locked for a second, before he sighed and turned away.
'I'm going mad.' He said.
'It's probably jet lag, I don't know. Go to sleep.' I told him.
He groaned, 'I can't, I need to finish this song. I told the guys I would have something decent to show them in two days when they arrive.'

I rolled my eyes, 'How are you gunna do that when your so tired. If you're imagining ridiculous things like me walking through doors, which is impossible of course... just...just have a power nap or something.'

He sighed, before giving in, 'Yeah, I guess you're right.'

'I'm always right.' I smirked.
He rolled his eyes but let out a small chuckle.
'Wake me up if I sleep longer than a few hours.' He yawned.
I nodded and waited for him to leave the room before turning to Jesse.
'I feel so bad.' I groaned.
'Nah, he just thinks he's tired.'
I shook my head, 'No more stupid stunts like this.'
'It was your fault.' Jesse frowned.
I rolled my eyes and huffed before grabbing a bag of sour skittles.
'Why do you eat them?' Jesse frowned.
'Why don't you?' I shot back.
'What's the point in doing something you don't need to do?' He asked.
I shrugged and shoved a handful in my mouth, 'They taste real good, try one.' I said, handing him the packet.

He sighed and took one out. He munched on it a while before he smirked, 'Okay, I admit they are really nice' he laughed.

'I told you!' I chuckled.
We sat for a while, simply munching on skittles.
'See, you love them.' I laughed.
He shrugged, 'I just didn't see the point in eating if we don't have to'
'I don't care if we don't have to eat, they taste nice.'

'Why don't you have to eat?' A voice came from behind us.
I shot around to see Vic standing behind us.
'I thought you were sleeping.' I said quickly.
'I was, but I woke up.' He frowned.
'Right...'
He glared at me, 'Who were you talking to?'
'Uhh, just someone on my phone.' I said.
'Right, you didn't answer my question about not having to eat.' He stated.
Goddamn it
'Uhh... a game we're playing. I keep feeding the family but they don't need to eat. Their like.. aliens or something.' I lied.
I automatically cringed, great excuse kellin.

He frowned but nodded.
'Wanna go outside?'
'What?!' I yelled.
'Woah, never heard of outside?' He chuckled.
'Come on! We can go get some food.' He added.
I stared at him, trying to think of an excuse. I haven't been outside since I died, was it even possible?

'I'll get some shoes, be right back!' Vic said, running out of the room.

'What do I do?!' I whisper yelled to a worried looking Jesse.
'I don't know!' He panicked.
'I'll have to go...'
'No, you don't know what will happen!' He argued.
'It could be fine!' I said.
'No..no,no.. you can't.' He yelled.
I frowned, 'D-do you know something I don't?'
He sighed.
'Jesse?'
'There...there was this girl, Hayley, she left here but never came back.. I can't let that happen to you Kells.' He whispered.

'You ready?!' Vic called.
'I'm sorry, I have to go. Maybe she found somewhere else...' I said.
'Kellin please! I might joke around, but I do really care about you! Don't leave me like she did to me!' He sobbed.

I turned to vic who had a hopeful look on his face.

'I'm sorry Jesse. I swear I'll come back.' I promised.

'Im coming with you.' He said.

'W-what?' I asked.
'I'm coming with you.' He repeated.
'You don't have t-' 'I'm coming with you, end of.' He said, cutting me off.

'Are you still on your phone?' Vic said, walking up to me.

'Uhh... yeah, yeah. Sorry.' I said, pretending to hang up.

'Ready?' He asked.
I nodded, taking a deep breath and taking a hopeful look at Jesse.

I opened the door for the first time in a year and was blinded by light.

'Wow, how long has it been since you've been outside!' Vic laughed.

I chuckled nervously and looked back at the hall.

Everything looked normal, until I noticed a massive countdown clock floating in mid air.

'What the hell...' I said.

You have two hours.
It read.

'What does that clock mean?' I asked, pointing to it.

'What clock, honestly I think you're the one who needs sleep.' He chuckled.

Does.. does this mean I have to be back in two hours?

'Uh.. I have to be back in two hours.' I said quickly.

'Uhh, right.. sure.' He said.

'Let's get some lunch.'
