"Don't look so nervous. Are you sure you don't want me to come?" Vic asks for the thousandth time, seeming pained.

"I'm sure." I breathe.

His face falls even more which makes me feel bad.

"I'm sorry." I choke out.

"Hey, hey. Don't be sorry, silly. You haven't done anything wrong. I'm sure it'll be boring anyway. I just want to be there for you if you need me." he tells me.

"I'm sure I'll be okay. I'm just not looking forward to seeing my parents again." I sniff.

"They're not your parents, Kell. They're nothing to you." Vic tells me, squeezing my shoulder.

I smile a little at that.

"Tay and Jenna will be there and Mama and Papa will be there. And then we're going on a date afterwards, yeah?" I say, hoping to get rid of my anxiety.

"That's right. I have the best date planned. You're going to love it." he beams.

I smile and he leans in to hug me but the door opens so he settles for a pat on the back.

"You ready, Kells?" Papa asks and I shake my head.

"I just need to do something then I'll be right down." I smile nervously.

"Okay, take your time, buddy." Papa says then he leaves, closing the bedroom door behind him.

I throw my arms around Vic and smash my lips to his. He kisses me back passionately and we kiss until I can't breathe and it's getting awkwardly long.

I finally stop kissing him and look up at his loving but saddened eyes.

"You're going to be with me all day," I whisper, taking his hand and placing it over my heart. "in here."

He smiles and kisses my forehead.

"I love you, Kells. I believe in you, baby. Stay strong." he says.

"I love you too." I whisper then decide to leave.

When I get downstairs, Mama and Papa are by the front door. I can tell they were waiting for me; we obviously really need to go but they didn't want to rush me.

"You look so handsome in a suit, Kellin!" Mama exclaims, her eyes getting teary.

"Thank you Mama. I'm ready to go." I tell them, clutching Teddy in my hand a little bit tighter.

We leave the house and get into the car. Papa drives off and I fiddle with Teddy nervously.

"Taylor and Jordan are already in Portland. The trial started yesterday." Mama explains.

"Yesterday?" I question confused.

"It's a big case so they want to make sure they have as much evidence as possible. A lot of people need to take the stand and testify. A few did yesterday. They questioned your neighbor, one of your old teachers, Dr. Stump, your aunt-"

"I have an aunt?" I frown confused.

"Yeah. Apparently she didn't know you existed either." Mama sighs.

"Who's taking the stand today?" I question.

"Taylor, Jenna, me and you." she chirps.

"Then why are you coming, Papa?" I frown confused.

"To support my boy of course." He chuckles which makes me smile.

We soon arrive at the airport which just gives me anxiety seeing all the people.
