Another Boy Without A Sharper Knife (Kellic)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 *Kellin POV*

"Yo Kellin! We're getting a newbie," my friend Matty said to me, interrupting my coloring. I looked over at him and rolled my eyes

"We have a new person like every other day Matty."

"Yeah but apparently this one is a boy out age." I perked up at that, setting my colored pencil down. The drawing of the sloth hanging from a tree can wait until later.

"So he's going to be sent to this ward?" I asked.

"Yup!" Alex chimed in, wagging his shaggy eyebrows at me. "Going to suck this ones dick too Quinn?" I laughed ruffling Alex's pink hair.

"That was one time and you're just mad that I'm not into you Gayskarth."

He laughed and walked away before saying "that's what my boyfriend is for Kellin! He gets this bod!" He lifted up his shirt and winked before entering his room. I chuckled to myself and turned back to Matty.

"What do you think he's in for? Hear anything?" Matty just shook his head

"Nah man but he should be here soon. I heard the nurses talking and they said that Aaron was checking him in and bringing him up."

I nodded, looking back to my drawing. It's not very often we get someone new on this ward. To get here you have to be a boy between 14 and 21 because it's the young adultsish ward. That's what I call it at least. Me and Matty were the youngest here only being 17 while most of the others were 18 or 19. I mean I should know the going ons around here, I've been here the longest out of all of us. All the nurses knew my name and I was pretty friendly with all the residents and doctors. Doctor Way happens to be my favorite.

I looked back to Matty. "How old is he?"

"20"

"Good I love older man," I winked, smirking at Matty. He rolled his eyes like he always does. Everyone here is used to my flirting. I've always been a very forward person. I mean don't get me wrong I've gotten a little action in here but basically going 20 days with nothing sucks. What do you expect? I'm a sexually frustrated teenager. If you can't hang...

I started to doodle while Matty pulled out a deck of playing cards. That's the thing about this place there is NOTHING to do like ever. So we play a lot of card games especially go fish. Right when the cards come out everyone comes towards us. Alex skips out of his room and plops down next to me with the others following. Austin clumsily turns away from the tv and walks over (he's on a lot of meds because of an angry outburst- long story) Alan follows right behind him, shutting the tv off. His love for Austin was so obvious but we all kept quiet about it. Tony walked in with his head down followed by a smiling Oli and Zack and Rian who kept nudging each other into chairs. That's it! The gangs all here

It's funny how the shuffling of cards can bring all these zombies together. Right when I was about to make a joke about Alex's hair, the elevator door opened.

Officer Aaron Pauley walked in followed by a boy about my height. He had long kinda wavy brown hair and deep chestnut brown eyes. He looked Hispanic and gave off this nervous vibe. I don't know how to put this in cute terms... He was fucking hot. A real sexican. He was lean yet muscular and I had a strong desire for him to wrap his arms around me.

One of the nurses said something and he have her a small fake smile. I'm going to make it my mission to get that boy to give me a real smile and of course I'm not opposed to making him do other things.

Matty nudged me, bring me out of my daze. "Dude, you're staring," he hissed, passing me my cards. By now everyone had looked away from the nervous boy and picked up their cards ready to play.

"If I wasn't taken I would totally be on that," Alex whispered to me. "Think Jack would mind?" I rolled my eyes at him.

"This one is mine."

*Vic POV*

They took all of my stuff and cut the strings out of my hoodies and shoes. I just bought those Vans and that was my favorite Drop Dead hoodie. Here I was standing with a small bag of my stuff. I was just standing there in front of a group of guys who looked around my age or younger. I kept my eyes down and turned away. I was wearing my black skinny jeans and a Blink 182 shirt that my momma had left at the hospital for me.

I felt sick just standing there as the nurse went over the rules. I tuned her out and stared at my sock covered feet. These were my favorite socks, ones with little sheep on them that Mike got me for Christmas.

"Vic, honey do you understand?" I gave her a small nod and a faint smile as she smiled back and took my hand. "Come this way, you'll be sharing a room with Oli, he's a nice boy you'll get along."

I walked with her and stopped at the door the farthest away from the nurses station. She pushed the door open and I took in a small room. There were two hard looking beds with seemingly thin blankets covering them. One, I assumed was Oli's was all messed up and covered in drawings. His desk was pretty clean covered with a pile of clothes and a bag of skittles. The bed closest to the door must be mine. It didn't look comfortable at all and I instantly got homesick.

"There's the bathroom. There of course are no locks on any of the doors. The shower is right in there too. If you need a razor to shave just come and ask. You'll be supervised of course. Any questions?"

I nodded, finally finding my voice. "Can I please get out of here?" She chuckled and gave me a sympathetic look as if she hears it all the time.

"Soon enough sweetie. We just have to keep you safe and when we know your stable then you can leave." I nodded again trying to hold back tears. "Alright honey I'll leave you alone but I'll be back in a little to introduce you to the boys before community meeting. Relax and collect your thoughts"

I nodded again feeling like a human bobble head. She smiled and left. I fell back onto the hard mattress and finally let the tears fall. Why couldn't I have just died? If Mike wasn't there it would have been perfect. I just want to be with my best friend again.

I laid there for 20 minutes just staring at the ceiling before the nurse walked back in.

"Vic honey, are you ready to meet the other boys?"
