Chapter One

10 Years Later

I sip my soda, no doubt with an annoyed expression painted across my face. I'd rather be anywhere else but here. I'd actually rather be on the rooftop of my house with my best friends by my side as I wait for the fireworks but that's not going to happen. For the first time in ten fucking years that's not going to happen.

"Oh cheer up, Kells." Jenna whines appearing beside me.

She's a little drunk, everyone is, everyone but me.

"Look how happy he is!" she exclaims, pointing to Vic who is grinning widely as his boyfriend talks to someone. Vic doesn't seem interested in the conversation but more so in his boyfriend. His arms are wrapped tightly around the man and he rests his head on his shoulder.

The sight makes me feel sick. His happiness is exactly the problem.

"I want him to be happy with me, Jen." I mumble.

She sighs and kisses my cheek.

"Just tell him how you feel, Kells." she murmurs.

"That's not an option anymore." I say regretfully.

I stop talking when I notice Vic and his boyfriend are walking towards us.

"I'm going to go find my gorgeous girl." Jenna grins, leaving my side to track down her girlfriend, Tay.

I remind myself to be polite but it's just so damn hard. They've been dating for only three months and he's already managed to get my best friend to move out of our house. He takes up all his time and he's changing him into a person I don't know and like.

I know I'm being unfair. This is how I act whenever Vic gets into a new relationship. But I love him and it hurts to see him with someone else. Although, this is all my fault. I should have told him my feelings years ago. But I could never risk losing him. It's obvious that he doesn't see me like that.

Vic drunkenly throws his arms around me, grinning as he does so.

"Kellin! I've missed you so much. You never spend the holidays with me anymore." he whines. "You skipped Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas! I'm starting to think you hate me."

"Well New Year's is our day so I thought I'd show up." I mumble.

"It is! Oh, Carter did I tell you how Kellin and I spend every New Year's together?" Vic says turning to his boyfriend.

"You sure did, Babe. You never shut up about Kellin. I can see why." Carter says. If I didn't know any better I'd say he looked me up and down with hungry eyes.

"He's so great Carter." Vic grins and I blush.

Vic finally let's go of me and stares at me before he suddenly realizes something.

"Oh, Kellin, I forgot! You haven't met Carter yet! You've been so busy." Vic exclaims.

How I managed to avoid meeting my best friend's boyfriend for three months is beyond me but I'm a little impressed with myself.

"Carter this is Kellin, my best friend in the whole wide world. Kellin this is Carter, my boyfriend." he chirps.

"Nice to meet you." I mumble.

"You too." he grins, then he turns to Vic. "I'll go get us drinks and let you catch up with your friend."

Vic grabs his face and kisses him which feels like a knife to the gut. Carter thankfully leaves and Vic turns back to me seeming ecstatic.

"What do you think? He's cute, right?" he grins.

"If you say so." I shrug. "He's totally a top though. Are you going to bottom?"
