This Love Was Out of Control (Fuenciado)

Me Or Him, It's Your Choice

*Vic's POV*

"Hey, Kellin! How's it going?" Kellin was at my front door for the first time since he moved out.

"Hey," he said flatly. "Can I come in?"

"Sure, man." He walked in slowly and headed to the living room. "What's up?"

"Well for one thing," he started, "can we talk in your room? It's private and I don't want Mike hearing it."

"Mike isn't here right now, but okay."

We walked upstairs and went to my room. We sat on my bed.

"Is there a problem? Are you okay?" I asked, staring at him. It seemed like he didn't want to tell me. He hesitated for a second and fidgeted his fingers.

"Are you...uh...well..." I had all ears on him. He folded his legs.

"What is it, Kels? You can tell me anything, you know that." I placed a hand on his knee. He flinched a little and shook off my hand with his leg. "Kellin, please tell me what's on your mind? What's wrong? If someone is giving you shit, it's on!" I pounded my fist in the palm of my hand, acknowledging that I would kill whoever laid on hand on him.

"No," he laughed a little. "Not that. It's something else. I'm a little embarrassed to say because I don't want you to yell at me if I tell you."

"Just tell me. I won't yell," I assured him.

"I saw you, um...kissing Jaime," he confessed.

My jaw dropped. The blood in my veins rushed throughout my body. There was tension stuck under my skin and it finally managed to crawl its way up. I stiffened my back and clenched my jaw. My eyes pierced on his like I was stalking my prey.

"W-What? Are you seeing things?" I laughed a little.

"I know I'm seeing the truth...and I don't like it," he scowled and folded his arms. "I didn't know...you were..." He knelt his head down, too embarrassed to say the word.

"Are you gonna bust on me?" I came closer to him.

He sighed and placed a hand on my shoulder. "No...but are you like, in love with him?"

"Yes...I love Jaime. He's my world," I smiled to myself. Kellin didn't seem pleased.

"He's your world? Do you really love him? You've known him probably only for three weeks and you say he's your world? You've known me way longer; since the first day of middle school."

"What do you have to do with me and Jaime? What does our love have to do with you, Kellin?"

"N-Nothing. Nothing at all." He got up from my bed and headed for my bedroom door. He quickly twisted the knob and flung open the door. He turned and looked at me furiously. "Hope you're happy with your new boyfriend."

He emphasized the word boyfriend and it made me upset. He's not my boyfriend; we just have a thing for each other so technically we're not together. Neither of us asked each other out yet.

I don't understand why he's mad at me. What does he have against me? Being gay? Mike didn't care and I thought he would be the main one to shoot me down or call me out. But Kellin is just trippin' out. I'm still the same asshole of a man. All because I've changed a little, in a name, doesn't make me any less different.

"Kellin, wait!" I ran down stairs and stopped him from leaving. "Are you mad at me? All because I'm g-"

"I'm not against you being gay. I think it's fine. If you wanna be in love with a guy, then so be it...but...why him? Why...Jaime?"
