Once Upon A Kellic

Chapter 18

I froze. This isn't supposed to be happening. No, no, no. I'm supposed to be getting away from everyone. Especially Vic. No. No. I ran out of my dorm and immediately dialed Tay's number. "Kellin, hey how--"

"Tay, my roommate is Vic." I could practically hear her jaw dropping. "Can you switch dorms?" I went to the desk and asked my question, but all of the dorms in my building were taken. "I'm so sorry kells. Take a walk. Breathe. Grab some coffee. I have to go kells. I love you. Good luck." "I love you too." What do I do in a situation like this? Because only the bad things happen to Kellin Quinn. Should I grab some coffee then go back? This is too much. I walked to a nearby Starbucks and grabbed a nice frappe. I walked through the hallway corridors thinking of a way to escape. I figured I'd have to go back to my room sooner or later. I walked back and heard someone crying. "Mike, he doesn't care anymore. He hates me. He saw me and literally ran out of the room. No he hasn't come back. Maybe this was a bad idea. I think I'll just leave." He cant leave. No, not because of me. The guilt started getting to me and I walked back in. "I have to go bye." He hung up the phone and laid down on his bed. It was silent for a while until I spoke up. "So Vic... How are you." I saw him raise his eyebrow, before speaking. "I'm uhh... Good." This was too awkward. "Listen Kellin, I'm packing up and leaving. I'll be home by the time you wake up. I'm sor--" "Vic, it's fine you don't need to leave. I didn't even know you wanted to go here." He mumbled an 'oh' before sitting down facing me. "Vic... If were gonna be roommates and classmates potentially were gonna need to work this out. Our friendship I mean." "Yeah, well how about over breakfast in the morning,  on me. I'm tired goodnight kells." Kells, there it was. The nickname he had given me back when we were a thing. Breakfast in the morning with Vic. I was too nervous to sleep. Anxiety spilled over every inch of my body. I waited and waited and waited until sun rise to get up and head to the showers. I grabbed my clothes and walked to the showers. I heard a guy in there but didn't care enough to look to see who it was. I finished up my shower and went back to my dorm. Vic had just woken up. I always loved the way he looked when he woke up. It was cute. His bed head, his morning voice. It was so adorable. "Hey, let me just wash up and we'll get going." I nodded my head and put on my shoes. I admit I was quite scared at what would happen today. I waited for Vic and about ten minutes later he walked in the door, dressed and ready to leave. "Where do you wanna go?" "It doesn't matter. Have you ever been here?" He put his head down and let out a light chuckle. "No, I was hoping you'd know some places." He was right. In fact, I did know some places. We walked down a few blocks before heading into a diner. We sat down and began to sip our beverages. We ordered food and began to talk, without interruption. "Vic, what happened? We ruined, a perfect thing..." I couldn't believe I had just said that. I probably sound so pathetic and weak. "Kellin, tell me what was your favorite thing about us?" I sighed and thought, then it came to mind.. "There's so many things that I could say, but I'm sure it'd come out all wrong." He looked at me and soft smiled. "Come on kells.." I thought again. "You got something that I cant explain. That first summer we spent,  one we'll never forget looking for any kind of reason to escape all the mess that we thought was what made us.." "That was deep kells." I smiled at him. "Those late summers we spent stay up talking all night I asked you think we'd ever make it, you said sure if its right." It's true. Those were the things I loved about Vic. We could stay up for days talking, and we'd never get tired of each other. We loved it. We loved each other. We finished up our breakfast in laughter of all the memories we shared. We seemed like the happy couple we once were. Halfway through our breakfast, a familiar face walked into the diner. "Justin?" I mumbled under my breath. Justin turned around and looked at Vic and I. " Kellin!" Vic looked at me confusingly. "Hey Justin, it's been awhile." We hugged and Justin walked over to Vic and I's table and sat down. "Vic, this is Justin. Justin, Vic." They looked at each other awkwardly. Mainly Justin, because he knew about Vic. Vic, didn't know about me and Justin. "Okay, well Justin we have to go scope out the campus. Bye." I hugged Justin and Vic and I walked out of the diner. Vic was walking at a much faster pace than I was. "Vic, wait up! What's wrong?" He looked at me like I was stupid. "What's wrong? I felt the awkwardness, he was your boyfriend wasn't he Kellin?" I couldn't believe his reaction. His facial expressions showed so much hurt, anger, betrayal, guilt. "We weren't ever official Vic! Why are you so angry?" He walked over to me and yelled once more. "Because Kellin! If it isn't obvious I love you! I never stopped loving you! I got with Jaime to stop the pain and the hurt when you left! I couldn't bare it. Do you know how much it hurt when you left? A part of me left! A part of me was broken because of you! You broke me! I didn't come out of my room for days Kellin! Why? Because I loved you, I love you, I will never stop loving you! I can't even begin to bel--" I shut Vic up with my lips firmly pressed against his. "I love you too." I kissed him once again.  He looked at me and smiled. It was like all of those feelings he was once feeling went away after I did that. Mine did as well. I didn't feel sad or angry at the world. I felt protection, I felt happiness, I felt that feeling I did when Vic and I first kissed. Vic looked at me. "Kellin, can we lose our minds and call it love; for the last time?" I smiled at him and shook my head. "But wait.." He gave me a sad and confusing look. "What about Jaime?" He thought about it. "You know he doesn't like you, right?" I nodded my head, it was only obvious. "I'm scared. Can you come with me?" I agreed immediately. I loved him and we were in this together. I wouldn't ever let him go alone. "When do you want to tell Jaime?" "Well, he goes here actually." I was quite shocked that Jaime had gotten into Nau. Let alone, get into a college. "Ohh... So do you want to tell him today?" We had finally reached our dorm, and walked in. "Later today. I want to just lay down with you and feel your warmth. It's been way to long." We laid down on my bed and I covered us with a blanket as we listened to music. "Hey Vic, you still have all of my heart." I planted a kiss on his lips as he started falling asleep. Maybe two broken people can make each other whole again. Maybe I was wrong, we were always supposed to be together. I fell asleep slowly after. We woke up to a loud banging on our dorm door. "Who is it?" Vic shouted, then groaned. They didn't say who they were, they just banged again. I got up from Vic's tight grip and opened the door. Standing there was Jaime. "Vic what the fu.ck is he doing here?" "Uh-Uh he's my uh my uh roommate." Vic stuttered and I suddenly got the feeling Jaime scared him. "What the hell!" Jaime went to grab Vic by his arm to pull him but I stood in between. "Get the hell out of our dorm! Leave him the fu.ck alone you as.shole!" I pushed Jaime out of the room then slammed and locked the door. I ran over to Vic, because he was crying on the floor. "Baby, Vic, baby it'll be alright. I'm here. I'm here. Everything's gonna be alright." I led him to my bed and sang him to sleep. "Everything's gonna be alright. I'm here. I'm here, baby. I love you. I'm here." I suddenly began to wonder, had this been happening ever since we broke up? 

- Vic's POV -

it felt nice to be loved again. I missed being in Kellin's firm grip. His arms around mine, I felt home. I knew Jaime was cheating on me. He doesn't love me. Boyfriends don't hit the people they love. I hadn't told Kellin that Jaime had abused me before, or that if I were to get back with Kellin, he'd hurt him. I was afraid. Kellin was getting out of class and I thought it'd be a good idea to grab him some lunch and a coffee. I got dressed and walked over to the diner. I spotted Jaime with an old friend Jack, in the diner together. I knew he was cheating on me with Jack. I knew it. Jaime looked out the window and saw me. I turned around and ran back to campus. I saw Jaime running towards me with Jack and I ran into the maim hallway where every one was. I spotted Kellin and ran over to him. I was out if breath, shaky, scared. Kellin noticed and hugged me tight. He saw Jaime and Jack and walked over to them, but they walked the other direction. What do I do? I need to tel Kellin... What if we can't be together anymore. What if we have to break up.
