Adopted By Who?

A Night With Kellin

The guys are going to some award show and aren't able to bring me, so they're having Kellin babysit me. Since Kells was in town, they decided he could do it. I don't mind hanging out with Kellin, but I don't need him to babysit me.

When Kellin came over, he hugged me. It had been a while since we last saw each other. When he pulled away, he smiled, "I heard about what happened. I'm so glad you're okay!"

"Yeah, me too."

Soon the guys were out the door and it was just me and Kellin watching TV. I was tired of watching the show we were watching, "Can we go out and do something? I'm so bored."

He turned to me, "Well what do you want to do?"

I thought, "Hmmm. Let's go get frozen yogurt!"

He smiled, "Okay, let's go."

When we got to the frozen yogurt place, we picked out our flavors and sat at one of the tables. As we ate, Kellin asked me how I was doing. I smiled, "I've been okay. I can finally take a shower everyday. I mean, people still make fun of me for, like, everything. But I've been doing good."

He smiled, too, "I'm so glad to hear that."

As I was about to reply, Farah walked in. I felt a wave of anxiety pass through me as we made eye contact. I looked down at my bowl, suddenly having no appetite. 

"You alright Kay?" Kellin asked.

I looked up and put on a quick fake smile, "Oh, yeah I'm fine. Just spaced out for a second."

He hesitated, but let it go, "So, Kay, are you seeing anyoneee??"

I smiled as I felt myself blush, "Uh, not exactly."

"Ooh, what does that mean? Spill the gossip giiirrrrllll."

I laughed, "I swear, Kells, you're such an idiot sometimes."

He laughed, "I know. Katelynne reminds me everyday. Now tell me who you're dating."

"We're not dating!"

"Okayyy. So who is it?"

My blush came back, "My friend Eric."

He grinned devilishly, "Oooh! I knew he liked you back at your birthday. You should have seen how he looked at you when you weren't paying attention. It was so obvious. And with him saving your life, I give him my blessing."

I laughed and stirred my melting frozen yogurt, "Wouldn't Tony have to give his blessing for him and I to date?"

"As your best friend, you need my blessing, too."

I looked up, "Well, I'm glad I have your blessing."

"Of course."

We got up and threw our cups away. Kellin turned to me, "I'm gonna run to the bathroom, I'll be back in a minute."

"Okay, I'm gonna go wait outside."

I walked out of the shop and stood against the wall. I texted Michaela back, and then I felt like someone was standing in front of me. I looked up and saw Farah. I sighed, this won't end up good.

"What do you need, Farah?"

Without a word, she took a handful of my hair and smashed my head against the concrete wall several times. When she let go of my hair, I fell to the ground, barely conscious. She kicked my gut a few times, then walked away.

What the fuck was that for?! 

I slowly lifted my hand to the back of my head and felt my tangled, bloodied hair, I groaned, "This shit is getting old."

"Oh my god!"

Kellin came by my side and picked me up, "We need to get you to the hospital."

I groaned again, "No, no hospital. Please."

He walked over to his car and set me in there, "Your dad is already going to kill me for letting this happen, if I don't take you to the hospital, he's going to kill me again."

"No, please. I'm fine. It's just a cut. I'm okay, Kells. Please trust me."

He sighed, "Okay, but I'm calling Tony."

I groaned, "Fine."

When the guys came home, they didn't react how Kellin and I thought they would. They weren't nearly as mad as we thought they would be. They just wanted to know if I was okay. Which I was. I just had a bad headache and a bad cut on the back of my head. Kellin went home after apologizing for the millionth time.

A little bit later I got up to get a new bag of ice and a drink when I heard Dad in the other room.

"Listen Erin, I love her to death. I wouldn't change my decision in adopting her, but she's just caused us a lot of trouble. We can barely go to an award show or perform without being worried sick," he said.

My stomach did a flip. Trouble? I feel terrible. I went upstairs and started packing some stuff. I don't want to cause anymore trouble.
