Chapter 12

Vic's POV

(Three Months Later)

"Is there gonna be one day when you don't hurt me, Dad?" I asked desperately.

It has been about three months since Kellin first moved in and every day it just got worse and worse. Everyday, my mom would get quieter. Everyday, my dad would get louder. Everyday, it became more and more overwhelming.

"Vic, honey. It's not worth it." My mom whispered, internally begging for the arguments between my dad and I to stop.

"It is worth it, Mom! Kellin is trying. He's fucking trying to be good enough to be accepted by you, but you don't fucking budge and that isn't fair to him! You're ruining him! He's changed so much just to stay with me and it's all your fault." I said to my dad.

"Son, you have to understand th-" He started.

I wouldn't dare listen to another lecture from him. Not today.

"No! Stop! It's you that doesn't understand!" I yelled back, now holding back tears. "That's it. We're moving in with Aunt Rosa." I said.

"Vic..." My mother mumbled.

I just shook my head and headed upstairs to my room where Kellin just laid there. He did this every time there was a fight. He would just lay and stare straight up at the ceiling, not even bothering to blink. He had become mute to it all. He had become mute in general. He was worse than my mom, he didn't talk at all. It made me feel incredibly heartbroken. I'd love to hear his voice again.

"Come on, babe we're moving out." I said to him.

He didn't move.

"Kellin, come on." Nothing. "Baby, I know it hurts, but we're gonna make it out of this, okay?"

He slowly looked at me, no emotion on his face. I fucking hated seeing him like this. I hated it so much. I pulled him into me and he showed the first emotion to me that he had in about two months. He cried. Sobbed. Bawled. All into my arms. I felt horrible for putting him through this and for letting it go this far.

"Shh, darling. You're gonna be okay." I said as I played with his hair for comfort.

But he just cried.

-

About a week later, we were officially moved in with my aunt. She took us in right away, of course. That's just the way she was. Almost everything had gotten better since we moved in. Everything but Kellin. He still wasn't talking. He would sometimes cry in his sleep at night but he never did more than that. He had been silent for almost the whole week until today.

"Good morning, love." I said to him once he had woke up that morning.

"I love you." He mumbled, barely audible.

My eyes went wide at the realization that he had finally said something. Not only were they wide, but they were also brimming with tears. Tears of relief.

"Oh my god, I love you too. I love you so fucking much, okay? I fucking- ugh, I just love you so much." I said, wrapping him up tightly in my arms. "I never thought I'd find the one. I have died every goddamn day waiting for you and I've loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more."

He stayed silent as he snuggled into me. But this time, it was a comfortable silence.

After about ten minutes, Aunt Rosa called us down for dinner. We ate in silence, only the sound from the TV filling the room. Aunt Rosa decided to eat upstairs, leaving only us at the dining table alone. Kellin sat across from me. I looked at him longingly and admirably.

He felt eyes on him and looked up, "What?" He asked with a spaghetti noodle hanging out of his mouth.

I giggled at the adorable sight as his eyes held confusion.

"Nothing, I'm just in love with you."

"Well that's good, because I'm in love with you, too." He said fairly quietly, but that's okay. I was just happy to hear his voice again. I felt nice.

I smiled at him once more before finishing my food and preparing myself for bed.

-

"Wake up, boys!" Auntie Rosa yelled, startling Kellin and I. He nearly jumped out of my arms. "Come on, come on! We've got a fun day ahead of us that you both deserve, so get up and get ready!"

"Where are we going?" Kellin asked quietly with a tired and hoarse voice.

"Don't worry aout it, just get ready." She replied with a bright smile.

We both rolled out of bed and took our showers, one at a time.

"If I don't know where we're going, how am I supposed to know what to wear?" Kellin asked me.

"Just dress casual. It's gonna be cold out today." I told him while dressing myself.

He dressed himself in a black band tee and these cute little pink shorts he hardly ever wore.

"Kellin, I said it's gonna be cold, babe."

"I know. That's why I'm wearing a black t-shirt." He replied.

I giggled at the blue-eyed boy in front of me. "It's gonna be a lot colder than that, hun. Go change."

  He sighed before changing into white, skin-tight jeans, a blue pastel sweater, and pastel pink converses with little bows on the back. 

"Much better. You look cute." I complimented him.

He blushed at the flattering remark before mumbling a quiet thank you.

I wore tan jeans, a black Thrasher shirt, and black, high-top Vans.

After we were fully ready, we ate breakfast and headed out to the car. I sat in the back with Kellin because I knew he'd fall asleep and he probably wanted a shoulder to lay on. He always slept in the car, no matter how short the drive. The only way to keep him awake was to have an on-going conversation with him.

About 30 minutes in, He was already asleep, snuggled into my shoulder and holding my hand gently. He woke up about an hour later and that's when I realized we were still driving.

"Wait, why are we still driving?" I asked my aunt.

"You'll see. Just go to sleep or something." She said with a small laugh.

"Can we play twenty one pilots instead? I just slept for an hour and a half." Kellin asked.

"Yeah! Car Radio!" I cheered, agreeing with him.

"Okay, okay." She said and stretched the auxiliary cord into Kellin's hand so that he could plug his phone in.

He smiled for the first time in a while as he pressed play.

A few minutes later, we pulled into a parking space.

"Hey, Aunt Rosa... Why are we at Disneyland?

-

(P.S. Genocide probably won't be updated again until this is over. I'll be trying to just spam with parts over the 2-week winter break so that way I can get this out of the way and get Genocide going. I also have a poetry type kellic started that will be uploaded daily where Vic and Kellin just broke up and it's basically all of kellins thoughts based on my own deep and dark, late-night thoughts. Sound good?)
