The Story Of Us ▸▸ Kellic

❥20

It was a huge relief to see that Brendon was being all friendly to Vic and I. I was a little bit worried when he accepted the apology he was just being sarcastic, but apparently he's fine with us now. Honestly, I don't really know why it bothered me that Brendon disliked me, but it did and I couldn't put up with that. Now though, now every things fine for now. Without a doubt something else will blow up, as it usually does.

I walked down the sidewalks of campus, getting ready to meet Vic for lunch. His class ends in a few minutes, so it'll be awhile until I see him, but I'm not extremely clingy. I won't die without seeing Vic every day.

When I got to the restaurant, I took a seat and waited around until Vic walked in, a cheeky grin plastered on his face. He never stops smiling it seems. When he spotted me, I motioned him over which he accepted, kissing my lips softly before sitting down across from me. I blushed, looking around at the crowds of people who didn't seem to notice.

"Worried?" Vic questioned, so I nodded. I watched as Vic stratched out his hands, intertwining his fingers with mine. I relaxed against his touch. "Nobody cares Kellin, just relax." He whispered nonchalantly, giving me a reassuring smile which I returned. "Okay so I know we came here for lunch, but I kind of want to take you somewhere else." Vic explained.

"Oh... Okay." I went along with it, curiousness getting the better of me. Vic stood up again and dragged me out of the doors and down the sidewalk. We must've walked for a good ten minutes, laughing at each other whenever we'd tell each other a joke. Or maybe it was just those laughs you couldn't hide when you were around somebody you like.

I noticed we were on the outskirts of campus, and then I noticed the bar with the balcony.

"Are you-"

"Let's go." Vic interrupted, kissing my cheek before grabbing my hand, pulling me towards the building. It was nerve racking knowing I was about to see what he's been hiding. The doors were unlocked, but barely anyone was here. I sighed as Vic and I went up the stairs which weren't guarded today. Vic stopped me outside of the door. "What happens in there stays in there, got it?" Vic questioned, so I nodded hastily. Vic pulled out a key and turn the door knob as I bit my lip anxiously. Next thing I knew, the door was open and a small wave of chattering stopped abruptly. Vic pulled me into the room where a group of people sat in a circle. I recognized one of them as Alan.

"Vic? What's he doing here?" One girl with short brown hair questioned irritably.

"This is my boyfriend Kellin, I couldn't keep this from him guys." Vic explained. I waved awkwardly.

"Hi." I muttered as Alan stood up.

"He has to join since he's here now." Alan informed both Vic and I. I quirked my eyebrows.

"What even is this place?" I asked.

"We're kind of a lame ass nerdy group and we talk a lot about art and off campus topics..." Alan explained quickly before latching onto my wrist. I was forced to squeeze between him and couple of other people. Vic took a seat across the circle, making me even more uncomfortable. I wish he could sit with me. It'd make this way less awkward.

I didn't expect to be there for over an hour, but we were. In fact, we were there for two hours. Fortunately, Vic and I didn't have anymore classes for the day, so it didn't really matter. The first hour was confusing, but soon I wrapped my brain around the whole group. It was kind of pointless, but at the same time it was meaningful. When we got out of the meeting or whatever you want to call it, I wrapped my arms securely around Vic.

"Thank you, for taking me and showing me." I whispered. Vic smiled at me.

"No problem, anything for you." He replied, kissing my head. God I lo-, like him. Did I really just stumble?

"I better get going." I said quickly and nervously before kissing Vic and hurrying off in the opposite direction towards my house instead of his. Vic gave me a skeptical look before continuing on. At least he didn't question me about it.

I couldn't have gotten home and faster in all honesty. I almost thought I loved him, and I don't know if I just thought that because it's true, or because the word just fit the sentence. I've never really experienced love, so maybe I am in love with him?

I've always believed when you were in love you just knew you were in love, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe love is an emotion buried deep within that only shows when you comprehend how strong it is. Maybe I'm comprehending what the word love and it's definition really mean, and what it means for Vic and I even more so. My heart fluttered at the thought of love. I've always wondered what it would be like to be in love, and I think I'm finally living the feeling.

But here's the bad part. I might be able to recognize that I'm potentially in love, or falling in love with Vic, but does he feel the same? I've never really seen him tense up about it, but it's never come up either. He could be hiding it like I am. Then again, it'd be wrong to make assumptions. I sighed to myself, placing my hand over my heart. It was beating erratically, making me a little more nervous. If you're supposed to follow your heart, then my hearts telling me exactly what I feel.

So just like that, and just so easily, I knew that Vic wasn't just a guy I had a crush on, nor a guy I just liked. Vic was a guy I was in love with, and I couldn't tell if I was fond of the feeling or not. I have to tell him, I just don't know how. Honestly, can you just say hey I love you to someone without it being awkward?

"Hey." Tony said once he slammed the door shut, startling me. I had been contemplating the situation for probably an hour while brewing on the couch. He quirked his eyebrows at me before getting ready to head into his room. It was getting late.

"Tony." I called out. Tony turned around, leaning against the wall before nodding. "Have you ever been in love?" I blurted out, biting my tongue after. Once again, Tony quirked his eyebrows before coming back in and taking a seat.

"No... Not that I know of. Maybe, who knows. Why?" He rambled.

"I just- uh, I don't know. Just curious." I mumbled, wimping out of telling him anything. Why is it so hard to tell one of your friends that "I'm in love with someone and I don't know what to do."

Tony raised his eyebrows in amusement. Oh god, I said that out loud? Maybe it really is that easy.

"Woah woah, back it up. What's going on?" Tony questioned.

"...Vic." I muttered, hoping he'd catch on.

"You're in love with Vic?" He questioned, astonishment written all over his face. For a second, I considered saying maybe or I don't know, but decided it was a lie. I was in love with him, so I nodded instead. "Dude I knew you had something going on, but really?"

"I don't know, I just thought about it today and it makes sense. I just don't know if he loves me and I don't know how to tell him."

"It can't be that hard to admit your feelings to someone. Just tell him, I've known Vic for a long time and he doesn't really freak about things like this." Tony explained which made me feel a little bit better.

"Are you sure?" I questioned to double check that he knew everything he was saying.

"I'm not lying, have a little faith in me." Tony joked. "But yeah, I'm sure." He added on. A smile crept over my lips.

"Okay." Was all I had to say before Tony left and didn't question me any farther. For that, I was thankful.
