Beast Within*Kellic*

Chapter Twenty One

Vic POV

It's been a whole two weeks since I've broken up with Kellin. I miss him desperately. I crave his touch so much, and my body aches with longing whenever I think about him.

I mean, of course I've seen him some in the past two weeks-we go to the same school we kind of don't have a choice. But I haven't said anything to him.

And he hasn't said anything to me.

He hasn't even tried.

I wasn't sure if I should feel relieved or offended.

I sighed as I listened to the teacher drone on about Lord knows what. I haven't been paying much attention to anything these days.

I wish that this never happened. I wish that I had never met Kellin, that I had never learned the taste of him. If this had never happened, I wouldn't be feeling the way that I do now.

I glanced across the room at him to see him looking back. Instead of looking away quickly-like I expected he would-he just simply gave me a small smile before turning back to the front of the room.

That little smile did more for me than he could have ever imagined. It reminded me if why I was doing this.

I was doing this for him. I was doing this to keep him safe. To keep him alive.

And I would do anything for him. Even if it tore me apart inside, I would do it.

Forever.

-Kellin POV-
My heart raced as I turned my head slightly to look at Vic. He was zoned out once again, looking deep in thought. I couldn't help but hope that it was me on his mind.

I missed him, so much. I wanted nothing more than for things to go back to the way that they used to be. I wanted nothing more than to cuddle next to him, have him hold me in his arms, for him to smile down at me before kissing me.

I felt my heart ache as my mind was flooded with those thoughts. And then, it happened.

Vic turned his head to look at me, his warm brown eyes searching. I have him a small smile before turning my head back to the front of the room.

My pulse was beating quick. I can't believe that we just made eye contact! we haven't so much as looked at each other in the past two weeks. To make eye contact and for me to smile at him....man that was big.

I let the thought drift out of my mind-okay, forced it out of my mind-as the final bell rang, signaling the end if the school day. I sighed as I grabbed my bag and hurried out to my locker, avoiding people at all costs.

Once I had grabbed all my things, I started heading home. An empty home.

Or so I'd hoped.
-
"Mom? Dad? Anyone home?" I called as I walked in the house, knowing that it was empty. I don't know why I did that, I guess it was just a habit.

I shrugged at the silence, setting my bag down by the door and heading to my room. I tried to open the door, but it seemed locked. The door would not fucking budge no matter what I did, and I was growing frustrated.

Hands grabbed me from behind, a bag going over my head. I let out a shout, trying to struggle before being made to stand still.

The words whispered sent fear throughout my body.

"We told your boyfriend that we wouldn't let him end up like an Angel. We told him. But, I guess we have to show him."
