I'll Pick You Up When You're Down // Kellic

Chapter 36 - Singers And Their Singing Of Songs

*Jack's POV*

I was woken up by my phone ringing. Whoever the f*ck this is I'm going to kill them personally. And possibly their family.

I was going to ignore it but Tony starts to stir, pulling all the sheets to his side of the bed.

In a panic of not wanting to wake him I quickly grab the phone to decline the call but instead I press the answer button. F*ck me, I can't just ignore it now.

"City morgue." I answer in a dead monotone.

"Great your awake Jack." It was Kellin. He sounded as awake as ever.

Silently and stealthily I crawl out of the warm bed and into the hallway. "What do you want?"

"Can you babysit for us?" That question was definitely not what I was expecting.

"Couldn't you have waited until a decent hour?" I didn't now the exact time but I knew it was an unhuman hour. "I'll come over tomorrow if you'll just let me sleep."

"No, I mean babysit now." He clarifies.

Aw hell naw.

"What in the world are you doing in the middle of the night that requires a babysitter? You know what don't answer that?"

"Vic wants to go out."

"No, I'm going to bed now." I reply.

"Please?"

"N-"

"Please?" He cuts me off.

"Wh-"

"pleasepleasepleaseprettyplease."

I take the phone away from my ear and groan loudly. Why does he do this to me. "Fine. We'll be there eventually."

"Great! Thank you Jacky Poo!"

I hang up as soon as the words hit my ear. I felt like throwing my phone into the wall at that moment, my precautions not to wake up Tony definitely backfired.

"Jack?" Standing up, I turn around to see Tony rubbing his eyes. "What are you doing up?"

"Kellin called."

"Is he alright?" The sleepiness in his voice dissolved with each word that left his mouth.

I smile and place a chaste kiss on his forehead. "Everything's fine. He just wanted us to babysit for him."

"Why didn't he just call in the morning?" Tony leans against the wall incredibly causally.

"Because he wants us to babysit now."

"You didn't say yes." He states but when I don't reply his smile falls and his eyes narrow. "You said yes didn't you?"

I reach around to the back of my neck. "Uh, yeah."

Tony sighs. "Well we better getting going then."

We were standing on Kellins porch when I shove my hands in my sweaters pocket and groan. "Why the f*ck did I agree to this again?"

"Because your a nice person and you would do anything for your friends." He offers.

"Thanks." I snort.

The door was suddenly throw open and Kellins happy baby face greets us. "Thank you so much for coming, I'm sorry it's so late but Vic can be demanding... And persuasive."

"Let me guess, he pulled that kissing thing?" I ask. Kellin nods shyly and I smirk. "Now tell me why the f*ck you two decided to go out at this time."
