*2 weeks later*
KELLINS POV
I sat up in the hospital bed, looking around at the boring, plain white walls.
Gabe and Vic had left to get lunch, much to their disapproval. After two weeks, they're still uncomfortable with leaving me alone.

The trial for Gerard got pushed forward to next week due to my hospitalisation.
Yes, I was nervous. I'm going to be speaking to the person who wrecked my life and self esteem, but I want to see him locked away.
And if that happens, it will all be worth it.

Vic walked through the door, a sandwich in his hand.
He passed it to me and smiled.
"From the shops, not the hospital food." He informed me.
I grinned, "Thanks."
He sat down and shuffled slightly.
"Uh, when we get home, there's going to be someone to question you about Gerard." He told me.
I groaned slightly, "Welcome home." I muttered.
He sighed, "I did ask them to come back another day, to leave you to settle back in but they were persistent that they had to have it for today."
I nodded slowly.
"Sorry.." he added.
I looked up at him, shaking my head, "Don't be, it's not your fault."

He gave me a small smile and placed his hand on my leg, leaning in to kiss my lips gently. My mouth curved up against his lips, my stomach flipping slightly at the feeling of his lips on mine.
I smiled and looked down, blushing.
He lifted my chin up with his fingertips, "Kells.."
"Yeah?" I whispered, the smile still on my face.
His eyes darted from each of my eyes, before he sighed and leant back.
"Don't worry." He sighed.
I frowned and sat up more, "No, what is it?"
He looked at his lap.
"Kells... will.." he started.
I nodded, pushing him on.
"Do you want to be my boyfriend?" He spluttered out.
I grinned widely, "Viccy, of course I do." I giggled.
He crashed his lips to mine, making me smile into the kiss.
"I don't know where I'd be without you." I whispered against his lips.
Vic pulled back and caressed my face with his thumb, but we were disturbed by a cough in the door.
Gabe stood there, raising his eyebrows.
"Shut up." I mumbled, a smirk forming on my face.
His lips curved up into a smile, "I ship it."
"You what it?" Vic asked, his eyebrow arching.
"You And Kellin. Make a decent couple."
"Decent?" I asked, pretending to act offended.
Gabe chuckled, "Well you'd be creeped out if I said sexy."
I shrugged, "I think 'good' was the word you're looking for."
Gabe smirked and sat on the plastic seat.
"When are you getting out?" He asked.
"Anytime now." I said, my lips twitching upwards.
Gabe nodded at me and gave me a small smile.
A nurse knocked at the door and walked in, "Are you packed?" She asked.
I nodded quickly and jumped out of the hospital bed, grabbing my bag in my hand.
"Wow someone's keen." The nurse laughed.
I chuckled lightly and looked at Vic who was gazing at me with adoration.
I looked at my feet and blushed.
The nurse handed me a load of leaflets, "We're not putting you in a mental health unit because someone managed to convince us not to," She said raising an eyebrow at Vic, "But, you will have two therapy sessions each week, each one lasts an hour Okay? We've got you on anti-depressants, xanax, iron tablets and vitamins for the next three months until your next checkup, then we'll see what we'll do with your medication, understand?" The nurse told me.
I nodded and took Vic's hand, ready to leave this hospital.

NEW CHARACTERS POV
(You'll find out who in a bit ^^)

I stared at the house that was dimly lit in the dark.
The only main source of light was coming from the orange glow of my cigarette.
I gently tapped the top of it, watching as sparks dropped off the end.
I looked from side to side before crossing the street, which was oddly deserted for a city road.

I hesitated for a second before walking up the pathway to the house, taking a deep breath before knocking rapidly on the door.
Nervously, I scratched at the stubble on the lower half on my face before the door was opened by a boy, around my age.

He had shoulder length black hair and glowing blue-gray eyes. He was shorter than me but not massively short, I was 6'1 after all.
"Uh, hi?" He asked.
I cleared my throat awkwardly, "Oh, Uh, Hi." I replied.
I stared at him for a few more seconds before he raised an eyebrow.
I mirrored his eyebrow raising before realising he probably had no idea who I was or what I was doing.
"Oh, right um.. who are you?" I asked, mentally face palming.
Great question.
"W-why?" He asked, stepping away from the door.
"I-I'm looking for someone, I thought he lived here." I stuttered.
His eyes stared back at me in fear, "Are you a friend of Gerard?"
"Who?" I asked, frowning.
He let out a loud sigh of relief, "Don't worry," he muttered, "I'm Kellin."
I nodded, "Alright, Okay. Do you know a Vic or if he still lives around here?" I questioned.
Kellin nodded, "Oh, yeah he's in the back should I get him?" He asked.
I nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes please."
Kellin beckoned for me to come in and I smiled and nodded gratefully.
I'm finally going to see my brother again.
