Vic's POV

Its been a whole week since I have seen Kayleigh. I don't know where she is, why she is there nor do I know how I feel about her not being here. She left after the fight we had after the concert and I haven't heard from her since. No one has told me anything except that I won't have any therapist until she returns, god only knows when. The one thing I am worried about is Coby. The only logical reason I can think of her not being here is Coby. He is about to drop off any day now, or maybe even has. It's quite hard to even think about him without shedding a tear or two because I got quite close with him over the very few days we knew each other.

I hadn't left my room either, maybe once or twice to see if Kayleigh was in her room but for no other reason besides I hated outside, I didn't leave.

I had read The Perks Of Being A Wallflower twice, and took extremely good care of it, since it was an old book. If had a small note at the front, a little message from whoever gave the book to her. I couldn't exactly remember who it was but I knew she was close with them. Also, I couldn't read it. I think it might be in French or some romantic language like that- nothing I could read. It was now one of my favourite books, and I kept it on my book shelf in the corner. It sitting alone, collecting dust as I would stare at it from my bed.

Right now, was one of the only times I was out of my room. I didn't have much to do, and there was nothing to do in this damn place anyway. I wasn't even sure I was getting out of here. Well, not anytime soon.

My hands were tucked into my pockets, and my arms ached from itching them too often. I had one eye covered by my hair, but I was used to it. I walked along the corridor and saw one or two people walk along in the opposite direction from me, but I looked at the floor feeling the awkwardness between us as we tried not to make eye contact. Soon passing them and finally getting to the room where I would hopefully see Kayleigh. I made my up to the door, knocking on it slowly and quietly hoping for a response.

"Kay, you there?" I said aloud, to the person that may or may not be behind the door. I silently prayed that her face would meet my gaze, in her usual smiley manor. I pressed my ear to the door, like last time. And listened for any noises, like last time. And got nothing, like last time. I sighed in defeat, turning around grumbling to myself, a little upset that she wasn't there.

"Yeah?" I heard her from behind me, me turning around straight away and taking my hands back out of my pockets before walking quite quickly back to her. I didn't realise how much I missed her until I saw her standing there.

"Did you just call me Kay?" She asked, and only then I noticed.

"Ah, yeah. It sorta slipped out" I scratched the back of my neck, feeling slightly embarrassed that I called her what only her brother could call her.

"Oh," she whispered. Now that I was closer I noticed her face in more detail. Her eyes had dark rings around them and were bloodshot, her lips dry and her hair looking like it hadn't been brushed in a long time.

"Where have you been?" I awkwardly skied after a minute silence.

"Not here," she bluntly said, making me slightly mad. I knew she hadn't been here. And that's what pissed me off.

"I know that." I replied, " Anyway" I tried to change the subject, her not even contributing to the conversation.

"You know, it takes two to have a conversation." My frustration levels getting higher and higher as she just stared blankly at me, like she was not even here.
