Stay Away From My Friends

chapter 35: surprise

Kellin's pov

The ride 'home' was quite and not the good kind. It's really awkward. The air is so thick it's hard to breath. I just want to go to 'my' room and go to sleep.
Oi
When we pull up to the house I just look at it for a moment. It's not 100% unfamiliar. It's like a dream, I dontju iou duh  remember it but it feels like I I've been here before. This is overwhelming..

I hate this..

Anxiety bubbles up in the back of my mind. I need to be in bed with my eyes shut. I dont want to talk or interact with anyone. Not even Oli. He's just too overwhelming...

Oli opens the door that I'm struggling to open. Its frustrating being so weak. I can hardly stand on my own. I'm just overworking myself by making myself walk. It's been a week since I woke up and I've hated every second of it.

He helps me out of the car and I put my face in his chest and we stand there for a moment. It feel like fall.. is it fall? I dont even know what season it is. I sigh, "can you carry me? My legs hurt," I say hoping I'm not being weird.

"Of course, I'll do anything for you," he says and I don't comment on it. He picks me up and I put my face in his shoulder. He takes me to the front door and opens it.

He gets two steps in before random strangers jump out yelling surprised and turning lights on. I dont know anyone.. "kellin! You're back!" Somebody yells.

"Guys, I told you not to do this," Oli growls lowly. I want to cry. I'm overwhelmed. Who are these people?

Somebody starts trying to talk to me but I shove my face into Oliver's shirt more. "Get me away from these strangers," I whisper. I'm annoyed and frustrated. They all think I know them but I dont.

"I've missed you-"

"How are-"

"Do you-"

Questions after questions are being asked and I feel horrible. Oli is saying things to get them away and he's trying to get me past them but its difficult. Tears start to flow but I glue my eyes to Oliver's shirt.

Once we are in a room he sets me on the bed. "I-is this my room?" I ask not remembering it.

"Yeah, do you need anything? Questions?" He asks trying to help. I wipe my tears away.

"Just let be be alone?" I ask crushing his spirit.  He nods.

"Yeah, I'll be in the room acrossed from you. My door will be open so I'll hear if you call for me," he says. I see how much he cares about me but I'm not me. When I lose that part of me he lost something too.

Three years is pretty serious and then a extra two years of just waiting for me.. Then when I woke up I dont even know who he is. That must be.. painful.

I dont want to lead him on but I dont want to neglect him and keep hurting him. After ten minutes theres a soft knock on my door. I want to yell at the person to go away but I dont want to hurt anyone more.

"Come in?" I say and a guy with long black hair comes in. The lights of off but the light from the window and 'my' nightlight make it possible to see details. He's.. very attractive.

"Hey, Oli said you dont remember anything so I came here to introduce myself. I'm Andy," he days smiling and I smile. Finally someone who doesn't expect me to know who they are.

"I'm ke- oh.. you probably know everything about me.." I mumble feeling embarrassed.

"Nah, you spent all your time with Oli, Tyler, and Vic. But I'd like to get to know you," he says making some of the stress go away.

"Um.. why, why does Oli try so hard?" I ask because I don't think I can ask Oli. Andy runs his hand through his hair.

"He's.. very in love with you. Like I'm sure he would be jealous that I'm talking to you. If I were you I would just talk to him and get to know him over again," he tells me.

"He's a bit too much right now.. I feel guilty about forgetting him," I mumble and Andy leans against my wall.

"Yeah.. I see how that could be stressful.   Well, how about I fill you in on who all lives here?" He asks. That could help me feel better.

"That would be really cool," I nod and he smiles. Is he even human? He's way to hot to be real. Oli is also really hot. Whose hotter? I check out Andy for a second very discreetly.

They are both really hot.. I dont think one is hotter than the other.

After Andy explains who all lives here he ends up leaving and now I have a little knowledge on who all those people are. I go to sleep thinking about everything and nothing.

When I wake up I go over my dream. It was of my mom jumping out of a car and me running away. I only remember that little snippet of the dream but it makes me feel weird. How did my mom get paralyzed? Was that real?

Did I remember something?

Thoughts?

What do you think about Andy?

Oli?

Kellin?
