Wrong Number

*Vic's pov*

It had been almost a week since i heard or seen Kellin. I went to the office to see if maybe he was just good at avoiding me. But Justin one of the S.O.A.H (student office administration helper) said he had been absent since last Friday.

This wouldn't be weird if it were anyone else but Kellin hasn't missed a day of school since kindergarten.

I found myself caring for the helpless boy so i decided i'd go see him Saturday.

Saturday at 3:56pm

I arrived at Kellin's house and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I decided to text him once more.

Viccy-poo: Kellin im worried are you okie..

Delivered 3:59pm

A half hour went by and still no response. He hasn't even seen it.

I got out of my car and walked up to his door and knocked. His dad answered the door.

"Who the hell are you", his drunken scruffy voice bellowed.

"Im a friend of--"

"My fuck-up of a son doesn't live here anymore"

It took everything I had in me not to punch the hell out of him. "Do you know where i might find him?"

"No", he said boredly and slammed the door in my face.

I turned to walk to my car when it opened again. A short women kinda dirty looking, looked at me and smiled, handing me a piece of paper. She closed the door once again.

I unfolded the paper and it read:

8509 Prescott st. apt. D6

I assumed this was his new address.

I drove quickly and knocked on the door. Things fell and Kellin mumbled some explicit words. The door opened revealing his tired yet beautiful face. He shut the door a little and looked at me.

"What are you doing here Vic? How did you find me?"

"I went to your dad's house and he didn't know where you were and he slammed the door in my face but this woman gave me this."

He looked at it. "That still doesn't answer what you're doing here"

"I was worried about you.. you weren't answering my texts or coming to school.. i needed to know you were okay"

The door opened and a little girl appeared.

"Vic this is my daughter Copeland" he said looking at me kinda nervous. "She's the reason I've been out of school..."
