Back To The Future || Kellic

Chapter 9.

Kellin's POV:
"Soo, now I have two things that I have to tell you," Vic says as I give him a worried look.

"Okay.. Can you start with the first thing you were going to tell me cause that one sure seemed a lot happier than the second one?" I ask, fearing what the other thing may be that he just got a phone call about.

"Yeah sure.." Vic begins before getting quiet again. He opens his mouth to talk before closing it again, licking his lips once before he actually does say something. Something I was not expecting him to say.

"I love you."

I stare at Vic in shook for several moments, not sure how to react to what he just told me. I was really not prepared for him to tell me that. Vic looks more and more nervous each second that passes as I don't say anything back, instead just looking at him with wide eyes and my mouth slightly open.

"Kells?" he begins carefully, waving his hand in front of  my face.

"I didn't mean to freak you out, I'm sorry. I don't want to put any pressure on you or anything I just had to - " he begins to ramble before I cut him off.

"I love you too."

Vic's rambling stops and now he's the one to look at me with wide eyes and his mouth slightly open. It takes him a while to react and when he does it isn't really the reaction I was hoping for. He lets out a deep sigh before pulling me close to him, hugging me tight to him. My head rests on his chest and I hear how fast Vic's heart is beating. I'm not sure wether it is because we just told each other we love the other or because of what the other thing he has to tell me is.

"Vic? Please tell me the other thing you needed to say." I lift my head off his chest, meeting Vic's sad eyes. It almost looks like he is close to tears, making me even more worried for what it may be that he has to tell me.

"I have to leave," he finally says.

"Leave? What do you mean leave? Leave the city, or what. Vic I don't understand.." I mumble, now feeling close to tears myself. I just admitted to Vic what I've been scared to admit to myself the last couple of days. I don't want to have done that only for him to leave me now. I had never told a boyfriend of mine that I love them before..

"Kellin.. I have to leave, even if I want to stay with you. And the reason I have to leave.. it's really really complicated.." he begins, not wanting to seem to tell me more about it. But I refuse to let him end things like this.

"Vic, I don't care how complicated it is. If you're seriously thinking that you can just tell me that you love me and then leave me and that I won't question it, you're wrong. Because I am questioning it. What is so complicated, where are you going? And.. are you coming back?" Even though I'm scared of the answers to my questions, especially the last one these are things that I need to know.

"Kells.. I'm not really from around here. I had a mission for my work here, and now I have to go back to where I'm from.." he says, still being really unclear about what he means, not making me understand what he's talking about.

"Okay. What does that mean? You're from another state? Or another country and now you have to go back there? Or what, what does it mean Vic? And if that's it, then you can come back right? If you could get here on one plane then you can come back on another plane!" My voice gets louder the longer I speak since I grow more and more upset about the situation. I guess I can't really say that I am mad at Vic, it's so hard for me to be so. I'm just mad at the fact that he's talking about leaving me and is so hesitant to tell me why.

"Kellin, it's not that I'm from another state! I am from California, San Diego! The difficult part is that I am from another fucking century  than you are!" Vic's voice gets louder as well, making me flinch away from him which he immediately notices, giving me an apologetic look and pulling me down to his chest again to hug me.
