Dark Storms

Chapter Five

I spent the rest of the day like this. i rewatched some of the movies i had seen the first time he left. Dirty Dancing, Keith, and LOL were my favorites and i can't help but cry everytime i watch them. I was bawling at the scene where Keith says "and i..i just wanted a little more time.." when my front door opened up.

I kind of panicked and my voice cracked because i had been crying when i asked "who's there?" Kellins head popped in and proceeded to knock on the door. "You're supposed to knock on the door BEFORE you come in dumbass." Normally, he would've laughed. But i think he realized by the redness of my puffy eyes i had spent my day crying.

He quickly made his way over to the couch and wrapped his arms around me. "Why are you upset?"

"Oh i've just been marathoning the chick flicks. It's nothing." he didn't believe me.

"You know, i've had girlfriends before. And i grew up with females. i may be a guy, but i can tell when a chick's upset." That's the kind of quality girls look for in guys. Someone who can figure out when they really need to be there for their girlfriend. "is this..about Trevor?" i had been looking at the wall but when he said trevor i looked into his big blue eyes. They were so comforting, like i was at home. They gave me promises words could not explain. I wanted to tell him the truth, but i couldn't.

"No i don't really know what it's about to be honest. Just needed a break i guess."

"Hmm. Alright. Well how about we go grab some real food, not just tubs of cookie dough ice cream," he stuck his tongue out at me. I nodded in agreement and grabbed my keys.

We went to Pizza Hut for dinner because it was something we both loved to eat. we got the largest size they had. even if we didn't finish it all right now, we could save the rest for leftovers for the next week. Kellin gave me his number, realizing we hadn't exchanged it for when we want to hangout in the future. something about us felt very right, and at the same time it felt very wrong.

I drove back to my building and he walked me to my door. "Kell, how did you get here?" He didn't have a car..

"I walked. i like walking, it helps clear my head. I was just kind of out and about when i realized i was by your apartment. i figured why not stop in and see if you wanted to get some grub." i feel bad, should i let him walk back to wherever he goes all alone in the dark?

"Oh. wait, where are you guys even staying? maybe i should drive you there you know it's getting pretty dark." he squinted at me like he was trying to figure something out, then sighed.

"Alright, let's go." we walked back outside to my parking spot and hopped in.

"To where am i headed?"

"Once you get out of the parking lot you take a right and keep going straight for about 2 miles, we're staying at the Margarita Hotel." when he said hotel, it made me remember that they don't actually live here. i don't know how long they'll be here..when they'll leave.

"How long are you uh..staying." i stared straight ahead of me at the road and gripped the wheel a little tighter.

"Actually Trevor's been looking for apartments in town. He said we can stay with him whenever. Unfortunately me and Justin are leaving in a couple weeks for warped tour. I was actually going to ask you if you maybe..wanted to come." Kellin was rubbing the back of his neck and i looked at him for a straight ten seconds before he yelled out "Eyes on the road Mac you're gonna kill us!" I looked back at the road and knew i had to answer fast.

"Yeah i mean that sounds pretty fun." he leaned over and kissed my cheek.

"Great, i can't wait to tell Justin and have you meet the guys." His smile lit up the car, he was so happy. We barely know each other and he basically asked me to live with him on a bus for the summer. i felt happy inside, but i felt like i didn't deserve it. Like it wasn't meant for me.

I pulled into the hotel parking lot and Kellin got out of the car. He walked around to my side while i rolled down my window. he leaned his head in and grabbed my face. We kissed, softly and slowly before he pulled away.

"Night Jane," he bit his lip.

"Night Quinn," i bit mine back at him as he leaned away and walked off.

Maybe getting out of this hell hole for the summer won't be so bad.
