Please Be My New Memories | Kellic

Chapter 16 ~ The Box

Neither of us wanted to return to school that day and so we both spent the day just talking about anything that seemed a good topic to have a conversation on. Kellin had led us back to his tree house which surprised me as it wasn't as far away as I had thought it would've been. We sat inside and I admired the newest poster that he had put up. There was one band though, I didn't know them but the guy standing in the middle reminded me a lot of Kellin. I turned around to look at Kellin and compare him and I guessed Kellin thought the same.

"So tell me, honestly. I look like him, don't I?" he smirked cockily and I had to choke back a laugh. Sure, Kellin was a bit good looking. Correction. Very good looking but the guy in the poster was extremely attractive. The length of hair and almost same shade of colour was the same but other than that I couldn't place my finger on any other similarities. Neither were very tall but that wasn't such a bad thing but both had the same loveable spark in their eyes which made me realise that they had the same colour eyes too. That's when I began to look at every single small detail of his face. They definitely both had the same, cute nose and when I thought about it, Kellin's nose was one of my favourite things about him as strange as it sounds. (A/N I'm obsessed with Kellin's nose.. I am not ashamed)

"A little," I said smiling light heartedly. I sat next to him and the conversation continued to flow. Kellin's phone had rang a couple times and I had to pretend to not notice that they were from his parents. The school had probably rang him at home, telling his parents that he wasn't at shool and they must've gotten worried and tried calling him but he just ingored it each time. My parents did no such thing.

"Hey, Kellin?"

"Yeah?"

"Who was that guy by the slide?" I asked. I'd learnt that by now I should be able to just ask things straight off the bat instead of hesitating and letting the anxiety eat away at me but I wouldn't ask if it was too personal like the story of him and his best friend or even his Dad.

"The one staring at us? Nope, I don't know any creeps." He said but as always he was lying, trying to cover up the truth but from ealier and the tears that escaped from him I knew it was just to protect me but I didn't need protecting. I was strong enough.

"Well, other than you," he joked and I just made a look of mock offence. Kellin only laughed and I lightly flicked him on the ear and he exagerated his reaction causing me to laugh harder.

Time flew by and by the end of the day I had to manage to get down the ladder almost gracefully which I was pretty sure I would never ever defeat but I'd conquer it one day. Once I made it to the bottom of the tree I pointed at Kellin and demanded that he bend his back down, uncertain of was going on he did what I asked, well, comanded. I did a small victory danced and leaped on his back, clinging to his neck. He laughed then sighed and agreed to piggy back me back home. The journey was full of me smiling until I saw the man again and I became scared as to why he appeared everywhere. Kellin hadn't seen him and I left the subject a side but it still had me worried.

"I'd invite you round my house but after last time I don't think that's going to happen," Kellin said, he sounded actually quite upset and quiet as he continued, "I don't really want to face my parents right now anyway. That time I skipped Maths to be with you they found out and they weren't too pleased. Now that I've skipped a whole day? Well, all I can say is that it's not going to be pretty."

I never knew that he had missed Maths that day to be with me in the Sports Hall, I thought he had left for his own reasons and found me coincidently but no, he cared and comforted me. I thought about what I was going to say next and felt nerves attempt to kill me right on the spot but I sucked it up and asked him.

"You could stay the night with me if you wanted?" I asked, not daring to look him in the eye paying more than enough attention to my shoes. My voice was so quiet that I was shocked he even heard my question.
