Your Forever Is All That I Need (Kellin Quinn)

Chapter 23: Sweet Revenge

Chapter 23: Sweet Revenge

*Cassie's POV*

I couldn't understand.

None if it made any sense.

"What?" I whispered.

"You heard me. Tommy is the merch guy for Kellin. My brother works close with the one I hate most in this world." Kyle replied.

"What do you want with me?" I spat out.

I hated him.

I absolutely hated him.

"I want you to be mine." He grinned.

"Why? You don't even like me!" I screamed at him.

I had realized that Kyle had never truly liked me tonight, but honestly... that made me feel less guilty. I had never truly liked him either.

He was always just a distraction.

"Aw, look who is brains and beauty." He said mockingly.

He laughed and then scoffed.

"You're hot, I'll give you that. So, it wasn't that hard to pretend to have a crush on you. I just did it to make Kellin squirm. It worked. I had just hoped that I could have taken you away from him like I took Kate away from him."

"Did you ever even really love her?" I threw my hands up.

He pinned me to the wall.

"Of course I did. She was the only true love of my life. When our relationship ended in high school, I was devastated. I tried making myself better for her,
going to college, make a life for myself. But, when I graduated college, I learned that she was dating Kellin. My sister begged me to get back in touch with her so she could meet Kellin. And look where that got her!!"

He was screaming in my face, and my throat was closing up from how tight his hand was around my neck.

He was suffocating me.

"Kyle..." I whispered out.

I was trying desperately to tap out, to make it obvious I wasn't able to breathe. He looked into my eyes, and dropped me.

I fell to the ground and started breathing in enormous breaths to try and get my heart beat back to normal. Although, I couldn't quite find the strength to pick myself back up. I just laid on the ground, hoping and praying that this was all just a dream.

"Get up." Kyle commanded.

I blocked him out. I just imagined being in Kellin's arms right now. I imagined that I was with him, and that we were together. I couldn't think of anything else that would make me happier. I just wanted this all to be a nightmare, and I would wake up any minute and see Kellin's face next to mine, telling me that I'm okay, that I just had a bad dream.

I felt him grab me and pull me up, but I was motionless and completely drained of energy to fight back. He didn't deserve any ounce of energy that I had in me. He deserved to get no response.

He shoved me into my bedroom and on the bed, and I already felt several bruises forming but I just didn't care. I didn't want to show him how much I was hurting... how weak I was. I closed my eyes and willed myself not to cry, not to let a single tear escape because I was strong, because I was better than him.

"You know, ignoring me isn't going to change the situation. I'm still gonna have you here and Kellin is still going to be over there. He can't save you. No one can."

I opened my eyes to see Kyle looking down at me... like a lion looks at his prey.

*Kellin's POV*

I still hadn't heard from her.

I didn't want to seem like an annoying and clingy boyfriend, but... I needed to talk to her.

I missed her.

"Kellin?" Jesse called my name.

I didn't look at him but I snapped out of my thoughts. I was just laying on the bed looking up at the ceiling and I had been like that for a while. I just didn't know how to act, how to respond to anything. I was sad, and it was getting worse every minute she didn't talk to me.

"Kellin, get up. Let's go do something." Jesse said, pulling me away from my thoughts once again. I just looked at him and pleaded with my eyes not to make me do anything. It was late in the evening and i honestly just wanted to sleep.

"You know that you won't sleep, so let's go. I know a place that will make you feel better. Come on." He grabbed my wrist and pulled me up.

I just let him take me where he wanted to. I didn't really have a choice in the matter anyway.

I absentmindedly got into the car and he drove but I couldn't tell. I was just staring outside the window, trying to get my thoughts off of her somehow. I couldn't do it though. What if something bad happened to her? What if she decided that she didn't need me as much as I needed her?

I couldn't accept that.

Earlier today, you could see it all over her face how much I meant to her. She didn't want me to leave. Her mind couldn't have changed that quickly. It just couldn't have.

"We're here."

I looked at my surroundings and suddenly smiled.

"This is where we played our first gig." I said.

Jesse just smiled and got out of the car. I followed him and watched him grab his guitar out of the back. He led us inside to the small stage and bar. No one was here.

"Is it closed?" I asked.

"It shouldn't be, but I called the manager. He said he wanted the night off anyway, so I just asked him if we could borrow the place for a while." He smiled.

"How do you always know exactly what I need?" I asked him.

"Because I'm your best friend." He shrugged.

I just smiled at him as he grabbed a guitar from the supply closet.

"Let's sing. Let's just sing our fucking hearts out. No one's around to listen, so vent. Get it all out." He said.

I nodded and let him strum and I just sang. I sang loud and proud and full of anger and sadness and every other emotion that was consuming me. I closed my eyes and just let it out. I freed my hurt and my pain and just left it all on that stage.

It's exactly what I needed.

And, for a minute. I completely forget about Cassie and just let the music take over. Like it always did.

It's short, I know.

Sorry.

Writer's block sucks ass and next chapter will be fully worth it. I'm gonna force myself to sit down and write for
you guys. With college, it's so hard. But I have a break coming up soon so I'll get back into the swing of things. It's a new era. It'll happen. I'll start writing again. :)

I love you guys and I'm so happy you've stuck with me through these bad times. It's been a load of crap and it's been really hard, but I'm getting better and I'm hoping writing will continue to make me better.

Oh. And check out my new book, Lost in New York. It'll be good, I hope. :)

Alayna. :)
