KELLIN POV
(set in the same school day as previous chap.)
It was 8th period and it's my last class, i've avoided vic all day because of this morning, im just too nervous to face him. as the bell rang i ran out of the closest doors and found the road that i knew would take me to my house. i knew vic would text or call or come down this road to see if i left, so i knew if i ran fast enough i would make it home before he drove this way.
i got in the door out of breath, i ran up the stairs to my room and threw my book bag down, i dont know why i was so afriad to face vic but i just needed space. wasn't adam his friend? if vic wanted to keep us such a secret why was he going out of his way? he knows adam has always bullied me so why would he defend me?
VIC POV
im waiting in the parking lot, i didn't really expect kellin to come out, he's probably already gone. i walked to my car red in the face, i know i don't want to come out yet but kellin makes it hard, he won't stand up for himself with adam and lets himself get pushed around and i can't let him.
As i start my car, i see a sadly, recognizable face approach . "what adam?" i asked in obvious disgust. "what was your deal today with standing up for that gay kid?" before i could answer, he was walking around to the passenger door and stepping into my car. he could barley fit he was so big. "you just don't need to pick on him dude" i said trying to stay calm. i watched as his giant hand, bigger than anyone's i've ever seen, reach over and grab my thigh, as he was slowly getting closer to the upper part of my leg his grip was getting tighter, i never knew someone could easily hurt me so much with simple strength. his entire hand was wrapped around my upper thigh and was squeezing it so hard i knew it would bruise. "don't ever try to make me look stupid, victor, i will do whatever i want. to anyone i want" his grip somehow got tighter and i could feel my eyes water. "let me go and get the fuck out of my car" i said and i started choking up, i was scared he would hurt me more if i said nothing. he laughed once and let go, as soon as he stepped out i reached over, shut the door and drove off as fast as i could. as soon as i was out of the school parking lot i could feel the spot where he had his hand start to throb, i can't believe adam was. i don't even know. so many thoughts ran through my head and i just couldn't think straight. i needed to see kellin.
KELLIN POV
i was sitting on my bed writing some music down when i heard a car abruptly stop, i jumped up and looked through my window to see what was going on only to see it was vic, he seemed upset so i ran down the stairs, forgetting that i didn't want to face him because of today. as soon as i opened the door his face was right in front of mine, his eyes were red and full of tears that were trying to escape. he rubbed his eyes and asked if he could come in, i said yes and led him up stairs to my room and shut the door. he sat on my bed and started crying again. "whats wrong vic?" i asked, i was standing by my door keeping a bit of a distance from him so he had space to breathe. "adam, he was mad that i stood up for you and i just i dont know. kellin you need to stand up for yourself you have to help me out here"
i was confused, he was mad at me because i didn't stand up for myself? he's crying because adam got mad? what did he do? yell at vic?! "vic you're crying because he got mad? you want me to stand up to him because you don't like to see it?" he stopped crying and looked at me with a straight face, "kellin you don't understand" "what don't i understand vic? that you're scared your friend will be mad at you because you're too scared to come out?!" vic stood up from my bed "fine then kellin. don't listen to me. just don't be mad when i can't save you because you don't even want to save yourself from him." he went for the door and i moved so he could go, he walked down the stairs and slammed the front door shut, i was still standing at the top of the stairwell.
