Chapter 21

Vic POV

"I don't think I could-"

"Nope, Kellin you are"

"I think I need more practice..."

"There's dozens of people out there, please" I gave him the puppy-eyes face, and he sighed,

"Ok ok, but if I mess up it's on you" he poked my chest, smiling. He took a deep breath, and walked on stage,

"Uh, hello and welcome, I'm Kellin Quinn and I'll be performing tonight" he sounded nervous. "T-This is called-um- if I'm James Dean then you're Audrey Hepburn" he stumbled on his words.

"Stay, for tonight, if you want too, I can show you, what my dreams are made of.

As I'm dreaming if your face" and the crowd went wild, mostly the teen girls. I watched as he performed, and it brung a smile to my face.

"Thank you guys so much, this is last song called, with ears to see and eyes to hear"

"True friend lie underneath," he sang and the crowd chanted, 'kellin'. To my surprise, he's good at hitting these high notes and somehow he sang my songs better than I could,

"Thank you, thank you" he sounded out of breath, "if you will, I would hope you to donate some money for a funeral we're trying to raise, so it'll be an honor, thank you again" he rushed off the stage,

"How bad was I?" he groaned,

"Bad? That was perfect I mean didn't you hear them chant your name?!" I pulled him into a hug,

"Well yeah I guess" he mumbled, "Here come on let's see how many money we raised,

"Ok," I emptied the jar on a nearby table,

"1....8.... 12.....30.....80......four twenties which is, uh 120," I counted the money.

"Ok so I have 678 dollars," Kellin sighed

"And I have 430, which equals 1108"

"Will that be enough?"

"I don't think so" I groaned, and I felt Kellin's hand caress my back trying to sooth me.

"Well fuck well, let's pack up the money and see if we can get more alright? Don't worry," he smiled, taking his hands off me. We packed the money in stacks and put it in a plastic bag.

"Mr. Quinn?" a tall broad guy called out. Kellin gave me an confused look but I nodded indicating he should go over while I finish pack up.

I slid my index finger and my thumb across the top, sealing it close, I glance behind me a few times making sure they don't so anything...relationship like, then later Kellin came running with a big smile,

"YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT" his smile got wider,

"Ok so he was a music producer guy and he wanted me labeled or some shit but I'd have to move back to Michigan so I denied cause I like being here with you" he said and I smiled, "but he said no worries and he gave this" he was talking really fast, but then he held out a stack of money, like really thick,

"He said it's 25,000" and my eyes bulged out,

"25 thousand?! I don't think a funeral cost that much? What will we do with the leftovers?" I asked and he shrugged.

--

It was a tough time but we manage to plan things out without me sobbing, I'll have enough of crying at the funeral, I invited Mike's friends, I regretted this, but my mom's friends, some family member out of country,"

"This is hard" I tried my hardest not to cry, but I couldn't help it, but luckily Kellin gave me a shoulder to cry on. He didn't say a word to me, he just sat there in silence rubbing my back until I was finished.

"I'll make dinner alright?" Kellin offered,

"I'll help"

"Nope, you sit your Mexican ass right there until I finish" he playfully demanded, kissing my forehead and heading to the kitchen,

"Well... can I watch?"

"Moron," he laughed, "of course you can" he motioned me to the kitchen. I sat on one of the stools watching him gather the ingredients,

"Whatcha' making?"

"A surprise" I saw him smirk even though his back was turned to me,

"seriously kells?" I groaned and he nodded, "may you sing for me?" I puppy-eyed him,

"Anything for you, well let's see..." he thought for a moment,

"I know that hope weighs on you mind,

Lost within the seams,

It seems like we loose ourself in between" he freestyled, and continued.

When he finised I asked, "did you really just come up with that on the top of your head?"

"Yeah" he shrugged, and I was there in shock,

"Well damn," I chuckled,

"Ok here," he said handing me a plate of spaghetti, and it smelled delicious. I twirled my fork around, catching a thick pile of spaghetti on my fork, and chewed it down. Come to think of it, I haven't seen Kellin eat much lately which now I was worried,

"Here try some" I offered but he shook his head studying my face, knowing something was wrong.

"What's wrong, is it bad?"

"Definitely not! B-but Kellin, when was the last time you've eaten?" I asked and he shrugged,

"Here, eat some" I shoved the plate towards him, but he pushed it back towards me.

"Kellin..."

"Vic..."

"Please?" I puppy-eyed him, an he groaned,

"Alright," he grabbed the plate and the fork and shoving a chunk in his mouth,

"Bed-er?" He said while chewing and smiling, causing me to laugh,
"Much better baby," I reached over the table, kissing his forehead.
