23. How to make Vic yours: A tutorial by Kellin Quinn

Pov: Kellin.

"I have a boyfriend, Kellin." It only took five, simple words to feel a substantial chunk of hurt to pang within my chest, my hands inclining into a weak hold around my white, recently updated, flocculent phone case, and my lips parting open in shock. No, it couldn't be. Oli wouldn't ask Vic to be his boyfriend this early, would he? I'm going to fucking murder somebody. 

"I'm sorry," Vic continued, his tone dejected into a complete whisper. Even when he couldn't be seen, by the way he spoke, I can tell tears are sure to be threatening to spill from his chocolaty eyes, which just makes me want to cry, too, "Can't-- well, can't you just.. I don't know, brake up with him?" I asked, with way too much false hope because Vic was quick to say no.

"Kellin, I can't do that. I'm sorry, but I actually like Oli, and he likes me too, and I think he's the one who's going to treat me the way I want to be treated. How do you expect me to trust you, over him? After all you've put me through, I just can't do it."

"Yes you can!"

"No, Kellin! No I can't!" He retaliated quickly, surprising me to a whole new level. Vic never raises his voice like that.

"Look, I'm not just some dumb, vulnerable kid, like you may believe I am. I actually can think for myself and make my own decisions. And even though I don't always do it, I'm able to stand up for myself, and this time, I'm going to. You can't just make everything okay again in the snap of your fingers, Kellin, that isn't how life works. Pretty soon, you're going to have to realize life can't always give you what you want. If you want something, for fuck sake's, you have to work for it."

And with the last word being said, a loud dial tone drifted through my ears. He'd hung up, leaving me with nothing but a mix of emotions coursing through my veins.

1. Anger: Because I'd just accepted the fact that I liked Vic, and Oliver fucking Sykes just had to swoop in and take him away in the snap of a finger.

2. Jealousy: Because, well, anyone who so much as touched Vic always made me feel this way, casting a disapproved eye upon them and forever marking them in my book of people to hate, [Jaime was recently added to that list] so discovering Oli is Vic's boyfriend now just brings this jealousy up to a new high.

3. Sadness: Sadness which, will probably last for a while, or rather, as long as Vic and Oli are together. And hopefully, that time frame won't be long.

Nope. Fuck this. I need a plan.

A good one, too.  

Pov: Mike.

"So, how long has Tony known Oli?" I asked Jenna with growing curiosity. It was around ten in the morning, and Tony was still sleeping, while Jenna was busy stuffing her second pancake into her mouth. It was pretty surprising how much this chick could eat, considering her body was, well, mighty fine.
