Another Boy Without A Sharper Knife (Kellic)

Chapter 6

Vic's POV

"Okay, how is everyone feeling today?" A grumble was heard around the room. I looked around to see a few yawns. I put my head down, ignoring everyone because truth be told I'm not feeling too great. I mean I just made out with Kellin, a boy I met yesterday. This is just so unlike me. I mean it took me like a year to even consider kissing Beau.

I shook the thought of him out of my head as I felt a hand on my knee. I looked up to see Kellin who's hand moved to my thigh, trying to calm me down. Was it that obvious? He gave me a questioning look and mouthed 'are you okay?' I gave him a quick nod before turning my attention back to the nurse.

"You guys know the drill. Say how you slept and what you plan on accomplishing today." Everyone nodded and they started to go around the room. I listened to Zack as he said Rian had officially been released so he wanted to hang out with the rest of the guys more. Austin didn't sleep because of nightmares. Apparently he missed his mom which made him restless. Before I knew it it was my turn.

"Um, I slept fine. The beds here aren't very comfortable," I mumbled.

"I fucking agree! I declare a movment for softer beds!" Alex said dramaticlly, standing up and shaking his fist. Everyone chuckled as the nurse glared at him.

"Continue Vic."

"Oh... I don't what I want to do today. Sleep?"

"Get to know Kellin more," Kellin coughed, loud enough for everyone to hear. I blushed as the guys chuckled. Yet again the nurse wasn't pleased.

"Kellin, guess you're up to bat. How are you?"

"Oh," Kellin said, a smile plastered on his face. Did I ever mention how much I love his smile? "I'm fan fucking tastic!"

"Language!" The nurse scolded.

"Sorry, anyway I slep fine. I mean maybe a wet dream but you don't want to hear about that." He looked at me and winked, totally ignoring everyone else in the room. No one seemed phased so I guess it's just typical Kellin.I did see the way Matty smirked at me though. I chose to ignore it. "I'm looking foreword to group today actually," Kellin continued. "Get to know everyone better." I obviously knew he was talking about me. I'm sure he knew everyone's life story by now.

Th nurse nodded though and finished up with the rest of the guys. Before I knew it it was time for group therapy. I felt my body tense up. I don't think I'm ready for this.

My stomach started to flip as I turned away, ready to run back to my room but before I could go I felt an arm wrap around my waist. Kellin pulled me to his side gently. "Vic, calm down. It'll be fine. I'll sit by you, anything you want. These guys will understand whatever your story is. We're all in this place for a reason."

I still felt sick as I began to shake so I focused the arm that was gently holding onto me. It felt like he was trying to hold the pieces of me together. "Okay," I sighed, stepping into the room behind everyone else. Kellin's arm left my waist as we walked in. The room was pretty small and cramped, about 10 chairs in a circle. All the guys were already sitting down. There was a middle aged man with glasses sitting on the one side of the room. He was wearing a suit jacket and jeans. Odd. Seemingly he is the therapist in charge of the session. He greeted me with a smile.

"You must be Vic, I'm Dr. Hunter" I gave him a small wave before taking a seat next to him as Kellin sat on my other side. It made me feel better having him near.

"Okay guys, quiet down," Dr, Hunter said as everyone's side conversations stopped. "It's group therapy. You know the rules. Listen, be polite, give feedback, and feel free to express yourself. No one judges in here. So Vic, you're new, why don't we hear from you first." i knew this was coming but I still felt the nervous butterflies consume me.
