"Then I'll stay with her."

We looked up to see Vic standing there, fists clenched to his sides. "I think you should go to bed, Kellin. I'll keep an eye on her tonight."

"You were not invited in on this conversation, and no. I will not have you stay with my sister, just so y'all can screw."

At that moment, I knew Kellin had been drinking. He never says things like that about me, unless hes been drinking. 'Just like dad.'  I thought to my self. 

"Vic, I'd prefer to be on my own. Kellin has said enough tonight, for me to know that he needs sleep, and I need to be alone." Vic just nodded his head and escorted a screaming Kellin to his room.

Once I heard my door close, I gathered my clothes and my favorite blade and headed into the adjoined bathroom. I ran the water as hot as I could possibly make it, and climbed in. I reveled in the silence. Well, somewhat silence.  I could hear everything Vic and Kellin were yelling at each other.

"Why would you even say that to her?! She was just trying to open up to you since you are all she has left! Kellin, you dumbass! That's your sister and you might have just made the biggest mistake of y'all's relationship!" 

  "Why do you even care, Fuentes?! Shes MY sister. Not YOUR girlfriend! You dont get to act all protective over her like you love her, you idiot!"
"Because I do love her! It was like looking into myself for the first time, ever! You managed to mess it all up with your stupid drinking!"

Did I hear that right? Vic loves me? That can not be right... I got into my headspace again. I couldn't go cook more food, so I did the next best thing.

Five.
Ten.

Twenty.
Thirty.
That's good enough for now. If I need more, I can always add more. Right?

I cleaned myself up, and bandaged my leg, before stepping out in only a towel. I accidentally left my clothes in my room, since I was so caught up in Kellin's words. You aren't worth the trouble anymore, Jen. You should know this by now. Everyone you love leaves you in the end. Get used to it. I was so caught up in my own thoughts that I didn't see Vic sitting on the edge of my bed, facing the wall of pictures.

"Vic, what are you doing in here?"
    "I told you, Im going to keep an eye on you tonight. I see I'm a little late to the party..." He said sadly, glancing at my leg. 

I couldn't even say anything. I wasn't sorry. I needed release. I needed to feel something other than the inner hatred I felt for myself. In that moment, I felt disappointed in myself. I could see the sadness in Vic's eyes. "Please don't tell Kellin... He can't know. Please Vic..." I almost started crying, for the first time in 4 years.

He nodded, and turned back around to face the wall.

"Let's just go to bed, then." I thought maybe that would help and everything would be better in the morning.

"Jen, Did you hear anything from your brother's room earlier?" 
    "You mean where he accused you of being around me because you didnt love me, or when you told him that you actually do love me?"

He looked at me like a deer in the headlights.

"I love you, too, Vic."
