The Strays

Chapter 13

                         (Vic's P.O.V)

The next day I wake up and get ready for class. It's been a long time since we've gone to class. I wake up Kellin so he can get dressed so we can go to class. "Do we have to go?" He pouts.

"Yes you're the one who chose your class schedule." I remind him. "You are so lucky that I'm in a good mood this morning." He gets up and gets dressed into his regular clothes.

I dress into my SWS shirt and skinny jeans. "Nice shirt." Kellin laughs. "Funny as you're wearing a PTV shirt. We should probably go to class." I grab his hand and we start walking to class.

We walk and get to our class. Its not fun to be back because I love my music and singing. I sit there writing lyrics in my notebook the entire time. After it ends we get up and decide to go to a coffee shop. I get my usual drink and Kellin gets his normal drink.

"I want to take you out tonight." I state. He smiles at me. "Where to?" I take his hand. "The beach since we haven't been to one yet, at least together."

He leans over the table and kisses my cheek. "That sounds absolutely perfect." I smirk. "Good." "What else do you have planned?" He asks me.

"It's a surprise. But trust me you'll love it." I get up and we leave. We start walking around campus and I decide that today is the day. Kellin doesn't know it and he doesn't need to. I love him and want to spend the rest of my life with him. And I hope that he wants to also.

"Vic, are you alright?" Kellin waves his hands in front of my face. "Sorry I was daydreaming." I tell him.

"About what?" He asks.

"Us. Nothing to worry about I promise." I tell him. "Alright Vic, I love you."

"I love you too." I start walking a little bit faster. He's so amazing and I love him so much. As the day goes by every moment that I spend is with him. Soon it's time for both of us to go to our separate recording studios for us to work on our albums. Kellin and I kiss quickly before we go our separate ways.

I walk in and look at my brother and friends. "Hey guys. Ready to get to work?" I ask them.

Mike nods. "Yes we are." Tony grabs his guitar. "So ready to do this." Jaime grabs his bass. "Lets do this."

Mike gets behind the drumset. I grab my notebook and guitar. "I'm going to record first because I have plans with Kellin later."

Mike smiles. "Then shut up and sing." I laugh and start singing and playing into the mics that are set up in the booth. I love music and recording the stuff that I wrote with all my heart. I love every minute of singing and performing that I can get.

Being in here makes me so comfortable especially with my closest friends in here with me. After I sing and play what I can, Mike records some of his drumming sessions then Jaime does his bass sessions then Tony goes and we work on recording the rest of the time that we're there.

"Guys, I have to go get ready for my date with Kellin." I tell them. Mike claps my shoulder. "Good luck brother."

"Thanks. I have to go. Love you guys." I say and leave to my house to get ready for the date with Kellin. I love him and I'm so beyond glad that he handled learning my secret really well. He knows that tonight is a special night for us. It's our first time going to the beach as a couple. I go into my dorm and get into my swimming trunks and a t-shirt to wear to the beach with the love of my life. After I finish getting ready, I leave to pick up Kellin at the recording studio.

He got dressed while he was there. We've both come so far with our and who we are. I love changing people's lives and seeing them smile while listening to our music. It makes me proud to know that music has that power. I love making music because of the impact it has on peoples lives.

I continue walking to the recording studio and get there to hear Kellin singing his heart out. I love his voice, it's so powerful. I hug him when they finish. "Can I steal him for the night?" I ask jokingly.

"Yes you can. Have fun guys." Gabe laughs. I take Kellin's hand and we walk out of the studio to head to the beach.

"How did the recording go?" He asks as we get there. I smile. "It went well. At least I thought it did. You sound amazing like always."

Kellin laughs and we walk onto the beach. The sun is starting to set which makes the night even more romantic. I love being here and Kellin being here with me makes it all that much more perfect. The water is a clear blue and the sand is a tan color making it a beautiful sight. As the sunsets the sky goes from pink to orange to red to red back to orange. It's such a gorgeous thing to experience.

Kellin cuddles into my side and I wrap my arms around him. He's such an amazing person and I love that he's in my life. "I love you, Vic." He says. 

I kiss him gently. "I love you too." I really do love him and I hope that he knows how much I actually do love him. I love being here and enjoying every moment that I can with him. I want to marry Kellin someday and I know that it will happen. Cause I know that he wants it to happen as well.

He puts his head on my shoulder. "This is so relaxing. Thanks for doing this."

I kiss his forehead gently. "Anything for my special boyfriend."

"Have you ever thought of getting married?" He asks.

"I think about that every day. You really have changed my life. Kellin in the best ways possible." I tell him the truth. I can't hide my feelings for him and I don't want to. I'm proud to say that I love him, and call him mine.

"Now and forever?" He closes his eyes.

"Always." I respond back and get up, you can't go to the beach and not get in the water. I offer my hand to help him get up. He gets up and we run down the beach and to the water. The temperature of the water is freezing for the first few minutes then it gets to be the perfect temperature. I decide to splash Kellin, despite the fact that it's salt water. He splashes back at me. "You're crazy." He yells while swimming away. I laugh and swim after him. I'm a very fast swimmer so I catch up soon after he swam away.

Its nighttime cause the sun finished setting and there's a full moon out tonight and makes the beach a spectular color of black and silver. I pick up Kellin and spin him around. I press his body to mine and press my lips to his. I will always love the feeling of us kissing and being close. We pull away after a few minutes of kissing.

After at least two hours at the beach we dry off and head back to our dorm at the college. We walk back and when we get back I change into my PJ's and lay on my bunk bed.

"I am so amazed by today. Thanks for everything that happened today." Kellin says while changing. "It wouldn't have been the same without you." I wink at him and close my eyes.

He lays down next to me and I fall asleep with him in my arms. I can't wait to finally marry him one day.
