The Broken Condoms

To

Kellins point of view

I was still somewhat angry the next morning about what had happened with my parents yesterday. They had actually called me just to let me know that they think this is a waste of time and nothing's going to come of it.they just can't stand he idea of me succeeding at something they don't like. Just because they don't like it, I can't either.

Whatever. It's a new day. I usually get up before everyone else to shower, which is just what I was doing right now at 8. I was taking a nice, hot, relaxing bath. Just me and a bunch of fucking bubbles. I leaned my head back, letting my body sink below the water till the only part of me that wasn't submerged was my toes and my nose. My breaths felt harder to breath and the world sounded far away.

Baths were always my safe place, my get away spot. I can just hide away for a bit. I get to relax and chill out for as long as I want. And the there's always the thrill that if I wanted to throw my whole head underneath and kill myself, I could. And no one can stop me. Not like I would, but I like knowing that I have the power to.

Suddenly, the bathroom door swung open. Alarmed, I sprang up and saw a groggy Vic rubbing his eyes as he shut the door. I must not have locked it, shit. "Vic!!" I exclaim to get his attention. I didn't bother trying to cover up BC the bubbles did that for me. Vic's head snapped over to see me and a look of surprise appeared upon his features.

"Oh shit, sorry man." He says in a groggy. Tired voice, zipping his pants back up.

"It's okay just.. Go.." I say awkwardly. He backed out and shut the door. I let out a breath of relief and sunk back down to the bottom of the tub. Vic seemed to be overly friendly to me yesterday when he caught my shit vibes. It reminded of how he was always trying to include Emily and talk to her. It seemed he had a soft spot for trying to make people feel better. Almost made him seem like not such a cold asshole.

I soon got out of the bath and dried off, changing in the bathroom, avoiding the mirror because thats awkward. After drying off and putting on some clothes, I exited the bathroom while rapidly rubbing the towel on my head to dry my long hair.

Vic immediately ran into the bathroom and slammed the door. I guess the really had to piss. It was about 8:30 now and there was still and hour before breakfast, so I decided I'd do some ACTUAL exploring today. As I began to tie my shoes, Vic exited the bathroom and Lynn entered with a towel and her clothes.

"Aren't you gunna shower?" I asked Vic, looking up at him as I tied my other shoe.

"Nah, I showered last night so I wouldn't have to." He paused, noticing me standing and grabbing my phone and water bottle I always brought around. "Where you going?" He asked. He was being friendly again. Was I giving off sad vibes?

"Gunna try and explore again today." I said, rubbing my neck. I kinda just wanted to be alone, but I'm not gunna lie, I wouldn't hate for Vic to tag along. Sure enough he smiled.

"Would you mind if I joined you?" I shrugged and he began to put on his shoes.

Soon, we were on our way, walking in the opposite way of the dining place. Vic was pretty silent today as we ventured past other cabins into the unknown. The silence was kind of awkward but also really nice. The birds were chirping and the sun was nice and bright, but not blinding. The air wasn't too hot or too cool and the day wasn't humid either. It was just nice.
