Chapter 23

KELLINS POV
The pain in my leg when I woke up was nothing to the pain in my head.
I winced and ran my fingers through my hair, letting out a small whimper as I got up.

The door creaked open and an awkward looking Vic shuffled in.

"Hey." He whispered.
"Hi Vic.."

"Uh, Tony and Mike have gone into the city for the day." He told me.

I nodded, tears prickling in my eyes.
"I'm sorry for ruining yesterday." I whispered.
Vic frowned and walked over to me, tucking a fallen piece of hair behind my ear, "What are you on about? You didn't ruin yesterday at all." He murmured.
I looked at the floor, ashamed.
"Hey," he started, "Kells, look at me."
I glanced up, my stomach flipping at how close we were.
My eyes flickered down to his lips, desperate to kiss them, but I held back.

"You didn't ruin it, I promise." He whispered.
"Do Mike and Tony hate me?" I whimpered.
He frowned, "Why would you think that?"
A few tears spilt down my cheeks, "I don't know, they might think I'm horrible for walking off."
He wiped a tear away with his thumb, "Kells, they don't think that at all. I told them you felt sick so you went to bed early. They understood okay? They really like you." He whispered, looking concerned.

My lip quivered and I fell into his arms, immediately feeling better from his hug.

I could always feel his muscles from under his shirt and it oddly comforted me.
He was literally the best hugger ever.

I looked down slightly and realised I got tears on his shirt.
Letting out a small gasp I stepped back, "Vic.. I-I'm Sorry.." I stuttered out.
"Woah, why?" He asked, shocked.
"I-I.." I started sobbing, suddenly remembering Gerard hitting me when I got tear stains on the pillow.

I backed off slightly, deep down knowing he wouldn't hit me, but still being afraid.

My knees buckled slightly as more tears rolled down my face.

"Kells What? What is it?" He asked softly.

If I could see myself right now, I'd probably laugh at how pathetic I looked.

"I-I didn't mean to.." I choked out.

He stepped forward, "Didn't mean to do what?"

I flinched and hid behind my arms, my heart beating faster and faster.

He gently grabbed my arm, but made me let out a loud whimper, sending me stumble backwards and tripping over.

I fell to the floor, leaving a bewildered Vic stood over me.

"Jesus Kells I-I'm Sorry." He whispered, carefully lifting me back up again.

He went to pull me back into his arms but I protested, not wanting to ruin his shirt anymore.

"Kell?" He asked.
"I-I didn't mean t-to.." I hiccoughed.

"Kells, didn't mean to do what? I won't be mad, promise."

My bottom lip quivered, I knew I was being ridiculous, but I couldn't help but be terrified.

I let out a shaky breath and pointed to his shoulder, where the tear patch was.

He looked behind him, then turned back to me and frowned, "What is it?"

Another tear dropped down my face, "Y-your shoulder." I whispered.

He looked down at his shoulder, yet still frowned.
"What? What's wrong with my shoulder?" He asked.

Okay now I felt ridiculous..
"Oh..Uh, it doesn't matter." I muttered, my face going slightly red.
"Kells.." He frowned.

I sighed, my eyes watering again.
"I-i got tears on your shoulder." I muttered embarrassed.

He raised an eyebrow, "Jesus Kells.. you gave me a heart attack. Is that all it was?" He asked.

I immediately burst into tears again, this time letting Vic wrap his arms around me again.

"G-Gerard.. g-he h-hurt me last t-time.." I stuttered out.

"Well I'm not Gerard." He muttered.
"I-i know." I whispered, wiping my eyes.

He pulled out of the hug, "Did you really think I would hurt you?" He asked, his eyes glazing over with tears.

"N-no, maybe.. I don't know." I stuttered.
He sighed, "Kells I would never hurt you, Okay?"
I nodded, feeling stupid.
He sighed before stepping back.

"Let's get some lunch." He smiled.
My stomach dropped, but I wouldn't let Vic down today.
Not in front of him anyway.

VICS POV

I watched Kellin proudly as he ate the whole plate of food.
"I'm so proud of you darling." I whispered.
He looked at me and smiled, making my heart flutter.
God he was so beautiful.
I love him so damn much.
I want to tell him but, I feel like it's too soon.
I don't want to make a fool of myself and he might never even feel that way about me.

I sighed and cleared our plates up.
"I'm gunna get my phone, I left it on charge upstairs." He told me.

I nodded and smiled at him as he ran up the stairs.

I ran the plate under hot water and watched as it cleaned.

I sighed again, opening the cupboard an-
I dropped the plate to the floor, ignoring the loud crash it made.
"Shit" I muttered, charging up the stairs.
How could I be so stupid?

I burst into our room, thankful Kellin had left the bathroom door open.

My heart sank as I saw him on the floor, leaning over the toilet.

"Kellin, Jesus Christ!" I yelled, running over to him and dragging him from the toilet.

"Vic no!" He cried.
I picked him up in my arms and ignored him trying to wriggle out of my grasp.

"Please Vic I need to." He screamed.

I placed him on the bed.
"Vic I just want to be beautiful!" He screeched.

My heart broke, tears started streaming down my face, as I finally broke down.

"Kellin Jesus Christ! You're so fucking beautiful, why can't you see it! I tell you so much and y-you never believe it. Do you even listen to me? Why can't you see how perfect you are?" I cried out.

He looked taken back.

I wiped my eyes, calming myself down.
"Why do you still do it Kells?" I asked softly.

I could see the clogs ticking in his head.
He opened his mouth then shook his head.
"Kells why?" I asked again.

He looked at the floor and sighed,
"B-because.."
He started crying again.

"Because.. because I love you Vic!" He cried.
"Because I know you won't love me if I look as disgusting as I do right now. I want you to love me Vic! And that won't happen if I look as fucking gross as I do!" He screamed.

"W-what..?" I breathed, my heart stopping.
"I-i love you Vic.." he sobbed.

He.. he loves me?
