What is the best way to keep a secret? "Tell it to everyone you know, but pretend you are kidding" - Lemony Snicket. It turned out that Snicket was painfully correct. By the time I reached P.E. after lunch on Monday, it was tipping over the edge of eighty degrees, and my red hoodie had been stuffed in the back of my locker since Brunch. I'd lost count of how many people had gaped at my arm with shocked expressions and open mouths, curious voices unsure of whether or not they wanted to know the answer asking, "Did you cut your arm?" By third period, I'd gotten so fucking sick of repeating the same excuse that my sarcastic asshole side had leaked out. So, I'd been responding to my classmates appalled questions with something along the lines of, "Yes, I cut myself." There was a kind of sick humor to it - technically, I was telling the truth. Not that anyone would ever know it. Cover cred to RazorbladeKissesx

Did Kellin ever think this was how he was going to live on the rest of his life? Not at all. He thought he would be dead by now. Did Kellin ever think that he would find a boyfriend and a best friend in the two Fuentes brothers who are way better then him? No, he thought they would beat him up like everyone else always did to him. Did Kellin ever think that while running away from his hometown, Florida, with Vic and Mike, he would ever bump into a face that made him start it all, and made him dread everyday that passed by? Not by a chance, and now that it did happened, Kellin's not sure how much longer he can hold on knowing he's back in his life. Will Kellin hold on and wait for Vic to save him and tell him everything's going to be okay? Maybe, but fate always has a sadistic way of messing with people's heads. (Sequel to 'Baby Don't Forget, We Haven't Lost It All Yet'.)
