36: Halloween

K. Quinn


"Dallon's definitely excited for Halloween," Vic says from the bedroom. I dry my hands on the towel and poke my head out. He's laying on his stomach, facing away from me, scrolling on his phone. I quietly walk out. "Kells?" He calls, still not looking up. I smile and crawl on top of him. I kiss the back of his neck. 

"I guess he is," I whisper. "What about you?" 

"I-uh- sure," he turns his head slightly. I bury my head into the crook of his neck. "Ugh, I'm hating this right now," he tosses his phone to the side. He twists around and faces me. He puts his hand to the back of my neck and pulls me down to a kiss. 

I feel my hand up his shirt and glide my thumb over his skin, feeling his ribs. "I've told you how much I love you, right?" I whisper against his ear. 

"Say it again," he mumbles back. 

I place a kiss on his cheek. "I-" I kiss his other cheek. "Love-" I kiss his nose. "You-" I tenderly kiss his soft lips. 

"Is it possible for you to get any cuter?" He chuckles. 

"I never pegged myself as cute," I answer slowly. 

"Fucking adorable," he purrs. I smile and moves one hand up his leg, to his thigh. "Kellin-" I smile innocently and slide it up higher. "Fine-" he says tightly. I peck his lips and rolls off. (A/N: I just wrote "oof" I need god.) I lay my head on his chest, pulling my arms around him. 

"Are we going to the squad party?" He asks softly. 

"Only if you want to," I mumble against his shirt. 

"I say we go then, I mean- we should probably try to spend more time with our friends after kind of ignoring them..." He laughs slightly. 

"I guess so," I murmur. "I'm guessing we have to get costumes?" 

"I don't know. We can figure that out later, how about we work on homework for a bit and go from there?" 

"Okay," I say in a small voice. He sits up and picks me up (bridal style). "Vic? Why? We're literally moving five feet." 

"Because I love you, that's why," he sets me down on the chair and opens the algebra textbook.

"Ey! Welcome Kellin, Vic. Welcome to Hell- I mean, my place."

"Technically you aren't very far off," Jenna snickers and runs off. Dallon rolls his eyes. 

"Food and shit are inside, otherwise, you can just stay in the yard with the rest of the gang," Dallon shrugs. Vic and I walk in and see Tyler and Josh talking. Awsten's with Otto. 

Vic grins and drags me over to the food. "Hey, is Andy not coming?" 

"I'm not sure, but Awsten looks fine..." 

"I swear to god if they broke up, I'll shove an arrow so far up Cupid's-" 

"Okay! Enough of that, besides, I'm not sure you can even do that," I purse my lips and spot Alex. Vic turns to talk to Brendon. 

"Hey," Alex waves. "I wanted to apologize for how Jack and I reacted to the powers. It was shocking and- I don't know I guess it was just how our brains cope."

"Hey, dude, it's fine. We get it, it's weird at first- it's still weird," I shrug. "Where's Jack?" 

"Oh, yeah he's talking to Ryan, he's sorry too-"

"I am."

I spin around and see Jack. 

"I feel like an asshole, but then again- I am an asshole so. You know. Has anyone seen Andy?" He asks. I look at Alex, who just looks back at me. 

Awsten walks over. "Have you seen Andy? He promised he'd be here, but I haven't seen him yet, also, hi Kellin." 

"Hi, and no, none of us has seen him," I furrow my eyebrows. I pull out my phone and dial his number. It rings for a while before goes to voicemail. 

Awsten tries to call him and the same thing happens. 

"Did he leave me again?" Awsten mutters under his breath. 

"No, he didn't. I'm going to his house, and feel free to come with," I state before rushing off. Vic sends me a look before following me. I walk all the way to Andy's. I bang on the door and hear Vic and Awsten behind me. 

"Andy, open up!" I shout, banging on the door. 

"Kellin?" I hear his voice ask. All three of us turn and I run to the small alleyway. I spot him with a black, fabric bag over his head and his wrists handcuffed. 

"Shit, what happened?" I mutter, throwing the bag off. I find the keys to the handcuffs under a rock. I touch the cuff and feel something... odd. I shake it off and unlock the cuffs. 

"Some guys jumped me. I have no clue what happened. One minute I was walking out of the house, and the next, I hear you screaming, pounding on the door. "I think they robbed me. But I'm confused about why. It's Halloween, so why now? And why would they handcuff me?" 

"I don't know-" I jump when I touch the handcuffs again. "These handcuffs are power dampeners. As in made for our powers." 

They gasp, staring at the handcuffs that I dropped. Andy gulps. 

"Someone knows."
