Skinny Latte|Kellic

Chapter 5

KELLINS POV
I walked up the apartment stairs, not being able to wipe the grin off my face.
I unlocked the door and walked into the room, "Hey Gee I-" I started.
He was looking at me with a massive frown on his face, "You're late." He growled, pointing at the clock which read
4.02 pm
"I'm sorry, I-I lost track of time, two minutes isn't awful is it?" I stuttered, nervously.
He climbed off the kitchen stool and walked over to me, "Yes, Kellin. Yes it is awful." He spat.
"Oh.." I whispered, my mood plummeting.
He pressed me against the door, his face not even millimetres away from mine.
"Why were you late?" He whispered angrily.
"I-I lost track of time, like I said. I'm sorry.." I murmured.
He backhanded me across the face, "Sorry? You're sorry?" He yelled.
"I didn't know!" I cried.
He put his hands up to his face, shaking his head, before swinging around a smashing his fist into my face, sending me tumbling to the floor.
I cried out in pain as I reached up to touch my bloody nose.
"Get out.." He muttered.
"W-what?" I whimpered, my eyes filling with tears.
"Get out!" He screamed.
I scurried up and left the apartment room.
"And don't come back tonight!" He yelled as I slammed the door.
I walked over to the staircase, holding my hand tight against my face.
I grabbed onto the stair banister, but my foot slipped making my arm bend back, sending me tumbling down the flight of stairs.
I landed hard on my back, winding my self.
I let out a hoarse gasp and lay there, trying to catch my breath whilst tears poured down my face.
I looked outside to see rain pouring out of the sky, and small flashes of lightening in the distance.
I groaned in pain as I pulled myself up.
I couldn't go to Gabe, he had his girlfriend round his house.
I let out a loud sob as I realised, in reality I had no one to go to.
Then someone came into my mind.
I opened the door, ignoring the pang of pain in my arm and shuffled down the sidewalk, using the wall for support, one hand still cupping my bleeding nose.
I saw Vic a few meters away, locking up the cafe.
"V-Vic!" I stuttered.
He turned around and let out a small gasp when he saw me.
"Jesus Kellin, come inside!" He breathed, unlocking the cafe and swinging the door open.
He helped me inside and sat me down of a chair.
"I'll get your usual coffee." He said with a small smile, but it was obvious how concerned he was.

A few minutes later, he came back and placed a skinny latte in front of me.
I took a sip, feeling the heat of the coffee warm my throat.
"What happened?" He asked.
I let a tear fall down my face, stinging a cut in my cheek.
"I had an argument with Gerard." I whispered.
"He did that to you?" Vic asked, sounding horrified.
"Uh, n-no, no he didn't.." I lied, avoiding eye contact.
"Kells, please.. tell me." He begged.
I shook my head, "I-it doesn't matter just.. forget it." I said.
He sighed but nodded.
"Uh, So.." I started.
"So?" He asked.
I sighed, "I feel really bad for asking but, I have no where to go tonight and I know we've hardly talked but I really need a place to stay.."
"What about Gabe?" Vic asked.
"His girlfriends round, I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked.." I whispered.
"N-no, it's fine you can stay round any time, and for as long as you need." He smiled.
I looked at him through tearful eyes, "Really?" I asked.
He nodded, "On one condition..."
"Anything." I said.
"You tell me everything.." He said.
"Everything about what?" I asked.
"Why you're so skinny, where the injuries are from and most of all, Gerard." He told me, pulling a face when he said Gerard's name.
My stomach plummeted and I started to feel sick.
He would judge me.
He would be disappointed that I'm so fat that I need to starve myself..
He would think I deserve the abuse from Gerard.
I started to tear up again.
"Please Kellin, I'm worried, and so is Gabe.." He murmured.
"I- Uh... okay.." I whispered, giving in.
He smiled at me and put his jumper around me, helping me up and taking me outside to go back to his house.

As great as Vic is, I was dreading telling him..
