Never Giving Up (Sequel to The Broken Generation)

Chapter 20

Alan's POV

I sighed to myself as I sat by Kellin on the couch. Austin had an appointment at two he had to go to today. This was the only day his client could get tattooed. It was tense between the two of us and I just wanted it to end. I missed my best friend.

"Do you wanna watch a movie?" I asked him.

Kellin shrugged and looked down at his sketchbook.

"We can watch any movie you want? Or maybe our favorite movie, Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban?" 

He shrugged again and didn't say anything.

I sighed and got up, putting in the movie anyway. I pressed play before I sat back on the couch beside him. I was going to get him to talk to me eventually, I just had to figure out how, Kellin as the most stubborn person I had ever met in my life.

"I'm sorry," I said, "You don't have to say anything, but just know that I'm sorry and I shouldn't have said what I said to you. I know I'm a shitty best friend to you and I don't deserve you as my best friend ever again. I shouldn't have yelled at you because you were mad at your husband for killing someone and I should have been more supportive of you when you were sad and not okay." 

Kellin sighed and stood up. "I'm going to the bathroom," he muttered.

I frowned and pulled up my knees up to my chest as I went on watching the movie. I guess that was a no from him. He was never going to forgive me.

I didn't think he could hate me this long, but I was wrong. It was like the more time went by, the more he hated me.  

Kellin came back at sat down beside me once again saying nothing at all.  I sighed.

"How long are you going to hate me?" I asked him.

"I don't know."

"Really?" 

Kellin shrugged and picked up his sketchpad once again.

"Can I know if you're ever going to forgive me?" I asked curiously. 

"I don't know."

"Alright then."

Just then the front door opened and Austin came in. He smiled at the two of us.

"Hey, you guys okay?" Austin asked coming over, giving me a kiss.

"Yeah," I said quietly.

"Kellin, you good?" 

"I'm fine," He said tersely.

"Okay...." Austin said then turned back to me, "I picked up your medicine." 

"Thank you," I said, smiling at him.

He smiled and ran his hand through my  hair, "It's not  a problem." 

"How was work?" I asked him.

"Good, I just had the one appointment."

"Oh, that's good."

"I took a picture of it, you wanna see?" 

"I would love to see it."

He sat down and pulled his phone out showing me the tattoo he did. 

"Oh wow, that looks pretty."

"Yeah, it was really fun to do. I've never done anything like this before." 

"It looks awesome babe, you're so talented."

"Thanks, I feel like I could've tightened the lines a bit, but I think it looks good. I mean my client loves it."
