Daughter of Kellin Quinn

Hold On Till May

*Copeland's POV*

No! I was ready to tell him. After all those wonderful sentences he put together for me, I was ready. And of course, Vic ruined it. And Jaime...I could never forgive him. I didn't actually run away because of him. I ran away because of depression. But Jaime was the reason why I cut in the first place.

"Cope, we're so glad you're okay!" Jaime shouted, running over to hug me. He practically squeezed the air out of my lungs. "I'm happy now! You have no clue what we went thr-"

"Actually, I do. Tony told me everything. Literally, everything." He told me that I was special and to not worry about everyone else. Just to be me and live my life.

"Tony," Vic directed towards Tony. He looked him dead in the eyes. Holy shit! I've never seen that look before and it kinda scared me. "Kitchen...now." Tony stood up and Vic followed behind me.

Jaime sat on the couch texting the others, telling them that Tony found me. I ignored his act and ran near the kitchen door to listen to what Vic was about to express to Tony.

*Tony's POV*

Great. What the hell did I do now? I just saved a life and now Vic was about to give me a lecture?

He pushed me against the stove. "Oww! Are you out of your mi-" A huge sting of pain hit my face. I gotta admit, Vic's slaps are hard and they hurt like a bitch! "What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

"No! What the fuck is wrong with you?!"

"What?"

"You know what, Perry!"

Actually, I really don't know what he's talking about.

"Why didn't you call or notify us when you found Copeland?!"

Erm? "We needed to have a chat first."

"Bullshit! Jaime had a fucking breakdown fifteen minutes ago! He was giving up and I told him we can push through this, that we'll find her, and to never give up! I grabbed him by the shirt and forced him up from the ground and told him that we should check her house, to see if she returned home. Oh, and whatta know?! The fucking light is on when we pull up in the drive way! You're a dick for not telling us that you found her."

Okay, this fucker is really starting to piss me off. I got up in his face. A little too close. "Listen to me, you bastard ass peasant..."

*Copeland's POV*

I kept all ears on Vic and Tony in the kitchen. I glanced at Jaime a couple times to see him fidgeting on the couch. "Hime?"

"Hmmm," he said turning to me.

"I'm actually happy that you told on me," I confessed.

He stood up and walked over to me with nervousness in his voice. "Oh, about that. Listen Cope, I didn't mean-"

"Wait, let me finish," I started moving closer to him. "I knew you couldn't keep my secret, but telling my dad that..that's huge. But running away helped me get my head on straight."

"Well, damn, if it looked crooked to me, I would've called you an ambulance," he joked.

I cracked a smile on my face. Giggling, I responded, "Oh, Jaime. You're still hilarious! I know you couldn't live not to tell my dad though. I'd be pissed if someone kept a secret like that from me too! But my point is, I'll never forgive you, but I will move on from this point."

"I know. I'm really sorry! I wish there was something I could do to make you happy."

"There is. Promise me that you won't speak of this to anyone? This whole conversation and me disappearing stays with our family and friends, no one else."
