Once Upon A Kellic

Chapter 10

It's been three days since I texted Vic and got no reply. What if he doesn't want to be with me anymore? What if he thinks I'm to much to handle. What if he found someone new? All of these thoughts were going through my head. I just needed to hear from Vic. Just to know that he was okay. The group home I'm in only has seven other boys. Their all either on probation or their waiting to go back to prison. I'm the only innocent guy. I guess were supposed to be getting someone new. I haven't made any friends yet. I just wanted Vic. I was laying in bed crying because I missed Vic when suddenly my phone beeped. I looked at my phone and I got a voice message from "Vic!!!" I yelled so loud my roommate shushed me. He's only okay with me and my phone because I let him use it to buy his drugs. I walked in the bathroom so I could talk to Vic. I opened the message and heard what it had to say.

"Hey Kellin, its Vic. I love you and I just wanted to say it's been hell not having you here. I need you Kellin. I don't think I can go that long without my Kellybear. I miss you Kellin. Also, I'm barely hanging on I'm sorry. By the time your hearing this I'll already be gone. I love you. Don't you ever forget about me."

I started crying as I listened to the message that broke my heart. My heart was pounding and I just wanted to be with Vic. To make sure he was okay. I called Mike and asked him to keep an eye on Vic for me. Of course he asked why but I didn't tell him. I couldn't. I needed to find a way out of here. Maybe when everybody's asleep I can sneak out. I can catch a bus with the twenty dollars I had on me. I will do that. I walked out of the bathroom and saw Oliver. The boy who was in love with me since kindergarten. He was annoying and creepy back in elementary school. No wonder he's in a group home. He looked at me and his eyes shined brighter the sun. "Kellin I missed you Kellybear." My body went into a rage and I pushed of me and he fell into the wall. "Do not call me Kellybear! Only Vic can call me Kellybear! Do not fucking call me Kellybear!" He looked terrified although I would be too. The guys from next door came in and helped Oliver up. I ran out the room and down to the basement. I needed time to myself. I crawled in a ball in the corner and let it all out. I'm such a sissy. I feel like all I do is cry. I punched my hand into the wall and it started bleeding immediately. "Fuck Kellin!" I walked upstairs and bandaged my hand up. All eyes were on me as I walked into the main room.

"Kellin have a seat" I sat down and they were all in a circle around Oliver. "What did I do now?"

"Oh Kellin you hurt Oli. Now your punishment is to go make dinner." Dinner? Dinner is so easy. Then after they eat I can plan my escape.

"Oh yes and Kellin after your shower, you'll be sleeping in the dark room." What the fuck is a dark room? Are they going to lock me up in there like they do the prisoners? Will I never see the light of day? Will I never see Vic? "Or you can just apologize right now Kellin and your only punishment is dinner and cleaning after." I apologized right away. As much as I felt he didn't need or deserve it I did it anyways for Vic. He needs me right now. "I'm sorry Oli for everything. I hope we can be friends in the nearby future." I just about gagged as Oli came up and hugged me. As Oli hugged me, I saw little marks on his arm. Some were fresh and some were scarred. Oli cuts himself? And suddenly I actually did want to be friends with him to learn his story.

*Mike's POV*

"Vic I'm gonna help you see Kellin again okay?" Vic had been an emotional mess. He hasn't looked at his phone since earlier. I'm pretty sure he called Kellin. I hope this isn't the end of them. Vic hasn't been at school. I keep bringing him his work but he doesn't care. He's gonna have to redo his senior year.

"Come on Vic you know Kellin wouldn't want you missing school." He didn't even look up. I walked out of the door in frustration. I was angry. But who am I angry at? That's a question I can't even answer. I'm not angry at Kellin. He didn't do anything wrong. It's not his fault his parents died. Vic, I'm not mad at just frustrated. He needs to educate himself and I can't do that if he doesn't help. So maybe I'm a little mad at Vic. I think I was mad at his parents. Why weren't they on the road instead of at home? It was seven o' clock at night. Old people don't go out that late. Why did they leave Kellin with his uncle? They know that he doesn't get along with him. So why did they leave him with him? Where is Kellin anyways? Oh yes the group home.

*Vic's POV*

I haven't been out of bed in days. Not to eat, not to pee, not to brush my teeth or shower. I'm a hot mess and not a hot mess literally a mess. I love Kellin but damn he sure brings me pain when he's not next to me. It's nearing nine thirty and I still haven't texted Kellin back. He's probably forgotten all about me.

"Hey Vic there's someone on the phone for you."

"I don't want to talk to people dammit Mike."

"Umm I'm pretty sure your gonna want to hear this"

"Ughh who is i-?"

"Vic hey it's me Kellin. I'm gonna try and get the hell out of here so I can GI back to you. Listen, if everything goes as planned I'm gonna be at a cabin in big bear. It's pretty far but it's good enough. I'm pretty sure I can hide there for three months right? I love you but I have to go to pretend to fall asleep. Goodnight my love, I love you and I hope to see you soon."

His voice. I heard his voice. He sounded so lonely but so happy that he was getting out of there. Which group home was he at anyways? Wait he texted me the name. Maybe when he breaks out I can be there and help him. That's what boyfriends are for right?

"Vic you realize if he gets caught you can go to jail right?" I looked up at Mike confusingly.

"What are you talking about?"

He looked at me with that

'are you stupid?' look.

"Dude you just said everything out loud."

"Oh well oh well. Mike your gonna help me. Now get dressed we don't have much time."

It took us about an hour and a half but we got there. I texted Kellin to ask him if he was out yet. He doesn't know I'm here but even if I just get to hug him it would still mean something.

*Kellin's POV*

I had a bag full of my things and I was looking down out if the two story window I would soon be jumping out of. Most people would call me crazy. Other's committed. But what happens next is a little unexpected.

1 Month Later ....

"Kellin have you picked out the college you want to go to? I need to know so I can pay for tuition like now."

"Okay Tay I'm looking hold on. I want one far from here so I don't have to see your ugly face." We both erupted into laughter.

"Whatever little brudder. Just hurry up. Mays coming around the corner and your gonna be graduating soon."

I have an older sister that I had no idea about. The night I jumped out of the window, I ended up in the hospital and the hospital some how got ahold of my long lost sister Tay. She's really nice. Vic, I haven't heard from him since that day. I miss him. A lot. But I think he changed his number because every time I try and call it goes to this weird recording system. A lot had changed in a month. Turns out I had a older brother as well but he died before I was born. Tay was given up for adoption when she was three. The year my mom found out she was pregnant with me. I moved away from sunny San Diego. We moved to Tucson, Arizona. I'm most likely going to U of A. Which is why we moved. I should be starting college pretty soon. Maybe I'll meet "the one"

"Kellin come eat your Mac and Cheese. I didn't make it for nothing."

"Coming stupid head." Tay is all I have and I'm all she has. Were each others family. Everyone else is just somebody that we used to know.

Guys,  this isn't the end I swear. I have like ten more chapters (x it got a little twisty right? I was hoping. I'll update sometime this week. Probably tomorrow or Saturday. ✌
