Chapter 4

Kellin's POV

For the rest of the week, Vic stopped harassing me. At first I was happy that he stopped bothering me, but now I feel like I'm being avoided. Maybe it's the fact that no matter how good I looked, he acted as if I wasn't there. Whatever.

The next day I was walking home when I realized something was wrong. I stopped walking and kneeled down to open my backpack.

My mom's old journal was missing. She had left it for me basically as a suicide note before she passed. I held onto it to remember her.

"Fuck!" I yelled as I threw my backpack over my shoulder and began sprinting back to the school, not even bothering to zip it up.

The more I ran, the sadder I felt. I could fully sense the missing puzzle piece in my heart. My eyes started watering after about three minutes, but when I arrived to the school and saw that the gate was locked, I completely broke down.

I slid down to the floor against the gate, completely sobbing. All my stuff had fallen out of my backpack and spread out everywhere upon the floor.

"I'm such a fucking failure!" I mumbled into my hands as I cried.

"Kellin?" I heard Vic's voice say.

How can this possibly get worse?

"Go away. I need alone time." I said.

"Kellin, I'm not gonna leave you like this." He kneeled down in front of me. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Leave me alone."

He tilted my chin up to meet his eyes with mine.

"It's gonna be okay, alright?" He said as he began placing all of my stuff neatly in my backpack. Before getting up, he used his thumb to wipe my tears away and lightly kissed my forehead. I had never seen him act so caring, so it was very weird, but very nice as well.

He held out his hand to help me up and I accepted the offer. I slung my bag over my shoulder again and began walking away, not wanting to interact with Vic anymore during this embarrassing moment.

"Hey, Kell, wait up!" Vic yelled.

I stopped in my tracks without turning around.

Kell

"Do you need a ride home?" He asked.

"Sure." I snuffled as he caught up to me.

"C'mon, my car's this way. "

When we got in the car, the questions started right away.

"So, what happened back there?"
I sighed and decided to just get this over with. I told Vic everything. About how my dad and mom separated, how my dad abused us both and still does, and of course, the story about my mom's death. Then I told him about the notebook and how I was upset because it was all I had left from my mom.

He seemed sympathetic for me and I didn't want that. I just wanted to feel normal again and obviously that wasn't gonna happen anytime soon.

When we got to my house, something weird happened.

"Hey, Kell?"

"Yeah?" I turned around and replied.
Vic didn't answer me, he simply pressed his lips on mine slowly. This kiss wasn't naughty or leading to something more, it was just short and sweet. His lips tasted wonderful against mine and they felt so warm, but the feeling diminished once he pulled away.

"See you tomorrow."

Btw I plan for these chapters to be short. I like writing short stories with short chapters, sorry.
