Vic's pov:
Thank god I knew how to make this up to Kellin and make him forgive me. He had always talked about this little flower place near his place in Michigan, so I called and had 2 dozen flowers delivered to him with a card that had lyrics written on it. It wasn't a song or anything, it was just something I thought of to express how sorry I am and how much I love him. Due to the morbid way they are written he will know it's from me. I was about to look at my phone for the time when it rang. It was Kellin.. I let it ring for a moment and then answered it.
"Hello?" I said sounding clueless as to whom it may be
"I received 2 dozen roses and lyrics that only you could have written. Why did you send these?" He said sounding a little mad still.
"To show you I am truly sorry and that I do in fact love you, more than you'll ever know probably."
"Oh, well apology accepted and I love you too, but don't you dare do that again victurd! You had me worried sick about you!" He said sounding very cute as usual.
"I won't I promise. I was in the studio writing and I didn't even realize my phone rang until I was done and came back into reality. I'm sorry kellybear! I can't wait to see you in like a week!" I said trying to go off topic.
"Yeah same here, look I have to go. I'll text you later or something, Okay?"
"Wanna Skype in a while?"
"No! I mean, no not today Vic. I gotta go, bye." He hung up barely finishing his sentence.
That's odd of him to rush off and not want to Skype or talk longer.. maybe he was just busy packing or something. I started to text Alex when my phone went off again, it was Alex. He asked to come over and finish our song we were doing together and I gratefully accepted the offer. We only had so much time to get it done and it wasn't like I was busy.
2 hour went by and I got dressed and made my way to the kitched for a monster. When I grabbed it the doorbell rang and a happy Alex walked through the door. We wasted no time and went straight to the studio. We started working on lyrics but we hit a rough spot where I didn't know what else to write and neither did he. We got another line down and the song title, A Love Like War. When we got stuck Mike asked if we could jam out to some songs so I nodded in agreement. I picked up two guitars and handed one to Alex. We got into the booth to record and we started singing Bulletproof and once we were done with that Alex wanted to sing king for a day. I didn't see the problem with it so we played it and it sounded decent. Alex saw music written by the drums and grabbed it and started playing it. It was the song I had just written, One Hundred Sleepless Nights.. It sounded like it did in my head, I started singing my lyrics and Mike's face looked shocked and satisfyingly happy with how it sounds. He added the drums and it started to sound like a great song. We were almost done with the song when we saw someone run out the door and slam it shut. I knew who that someone was.. But how...Shit, here we go again..

Kellin's pov:
When I hung up on Vic the lady on the plane had just told me to shut it off.. I got an early flight to move to Vic's, it was a surprise. 3 hours and I'll be in his arms again, thank god! The flowers he had sent me along with the lyrics made me realize he did love me. I couldn't wait to live with him so I could properly thank him tonight, if you know what I mean. For some reason he had been avoiding having sex with me but I wasn't going to let him get away tonight.
*****************************************************************
I landed and got a taxi to Vic's address. I made it an about a half hour. I knew where he hid the key so I quietly unlocked the door and snuck in. I set my bags by the door and made my way around looking for him. I checked upstairs and the living room when I heard a familiar voice screaming.. The studio, he was recording so I'de have to be quiet so I could hear his beautiful voice sing some aswesone lyrics. I made my way to the door and slowly opened it, and what I saw made my stomach uneasy.. Alex and him were just ending bulletproof, then I could hear alex suggest something, the fucker was going to sing king for a day... That was Vic and I's song... I would have left but I saw Alex catch his eye on a few pieces of paper by the drums so I waited. He grabbed them and started playing the guitar part, Vic looked like he was shocked but he grabbed the mic and placed it closer to him and started playing the guitar and singing unfamiliar lyrics. They were written by Vic, I could tell by the way it was all worded.. It must have been the new song he had written when I called. I was to be the one who heard them first, not Alex.. I ran out and slammed the door behind me. I couldn't hold tears back anymore. I fell to the ground in Vic's room upstairs and let the tears flow down my face. A few seconds later I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and then I heard him speak
"Kellin? Open the door."
"I opened the door and he walked in, not looking happy.
"What are you doing Here and why did you run out like that?"
"I wanted to surprise you, and becsuse of him! He wasn't to hear those songs first, I was! And king for a day is our song Vic, he can't sing it!" I said almost yelling
"*sigh* Kellin, look he is my FRIEND, not boyfriend, not significant other, nothing but a damn friend. He wasn't to see that song or even play it, he saw the papers and grabbed them. Before I realized what they were he was playing it so I just went with it. I have more that no one saw before so it wasn't a big deal. As far as king for a day, are you going to tell the whole world not to sing it then? Yes we wrote it and yes we sang it together but that doesn't mean anyone else can not sing it. I'm sorry that me singing it with him upset you but..*sigh*"
"But what Vic.."
"I'de rather not say."
"Vic say it." I said hesitantly
" I have tried everything to show you how much I fucking love you Kellin. Everything! Hell I'de die for you and I am trying so hard to show you but your damn jealousy is ruining it! I have tried for months to show you and every time you let your jealousy take over even when I reassure you that you are the only one for me. That still stands and always will but..maybe we shouldn't date until you get that jealousy under control.."
"No Vic..no I'm sorry, I overreacted.. please don't do this"
"You can still live here and everything but I can't keep trying if I'll never get anywhere with you Kellin. I about kil.. never mind I have to go back down and finish writing lyrics. We will talk later. I started to walk away when he gasped and yelled my name like I did something terribly wrong. Shit I know what it is..

Kellin's pov:
He started to walk away from me so I went to get up and grab his arm when I saw them. He had stitches in his cuts that looked like they were fairly new.. How could he.. I gasped and yelled,
"Victor fucking Fuentes! Turn around right now."
"Why?" He said acting clueless but I could tell he was cursing himself for wearing a tank top.
"Why did you do this" I asked placing my hand on the cuts
"Nothing, I can't say" I knew he was keeping something from me..
"Why Vic, I need to know and don't lie."
"Fine.. I did it at warped when you got jealous and all that shit went down with us fighting. I felt like I wasn't able to show you how much I did truly love you and the voices in my head told me that I was worthless and couldn't even show you my love I have for you so I cut and when the paramedics were there they stitched all of them up and told me to rest a lot."
"Oh..wait.. you only have a few on your shoulder.. where else did you cut Vic and I swear you need to tell the truth."
"My shoulder, my arms, and...my abs he barely said audible. In disbelief I asked him to lift his shirt up and there they were all stitched and not looking good. No wonder why he didn't want sex and this would explain all of his weird behavior. I can't believe my jealousy did this to him.. I felt so bad, I needed to talk to him and communicate better..
"Vic, I understand why you broke up with me now.. I hate that I caused all of this.. It felt like you didn't want me anymore and you kept spending time with Alex so I thought you lost interest in me. I will show you that my jealousy won't be in the way anymore, I'll be more communicative and I'll learn to trust you more.. I'm just so sorry I caused you to do this.." I said starting to cry
"Dont be sorry. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger and makes me write damn good lyrics. It wasn't even your fault, I just I don't know."
"Just promise me that you won't date anyone while we are working on things.."
"I guess you weren't listening to me Kellin. I told you already, you are the only one for me. I'm just waiting on you to realize whether I am the one for you or not." With that he walked out and back downstairs.
