Song of the chapter is lullabies by All Time Low, just because Kellin is going to play the piano to that in this chapter, this chapter is still in Kellin's pov

Today...I woke up in my bed, my phone died some time last night and I didn't bother to charge it, I went to school, Vic came into lunch for a minute said hi to me and put his hand on my shoulder as he asked Oliver if they should work on the song in the music room because he might not have time before Friday to work on it, Oliver said sure and without asking me he got up with Vic and left the room. Justin didn't even show up to school today and for Jack? He was sick and he made sure to tell everyone, he texted Oliver and Oliver told us the 'news'.. Oh yeah lets just put "TEENAGER NAMED JACK BARAKAT IS SICK AND HAS A FEVER AND IS NOW RESTING AT HOME DRINKING SOME SOUP AND BEING A MAMA'S BOY" as a headline on the news.

At music class Vic and Oliver sat in the corner of the room, they were laughing and singing and I was far away from them yet all I seemed to hear was them. Alex tried getting my attention and I know all he was trying to do was make me forget about Oliver and Vic being so close. It was stupid for me to be kind of upset over that, anyways Vic and Oliver don't really talk so there's no chance that they would happen.

Alex met me at my house and now I'm about to attempt the piano for the first time in years.

"okay, you sing, I'll figure something out" I say before taking a deep breath, Alex nods his head and starts singing, I put my hands on the keys and start playing a tune I didn't think I ever could.

"That's it!" Alex says and I replay what I played,
"This is it?" I ask and he nods. "This is it!" I say and he smiles

We play the whole song and at the end we both give each other a hug.

"That's a A plus right there" Alex says and I nod in agreement, "I should go now, you must have better things to do" he adds, his smile fading away.

"no, its okay, stay" there's a pause, Alex deep in thought, "we could play video games? Watch a movie?" I suggest

"what movie do you have in mind?" he asks
"I'm not really sure, how about..." I start but my mind in blank

"we could always just talk?" Alex suggests
"yeah, that's better" I say and I get up and wave him to follow me down the stairs and to the living room.

"So what do you want to talk about?" I ask and Alex shrugs
"anything, say the first thing that comes to mind" Alex says

"Vic" I say and he smiles, "you guys are cute together"

*Friday*

"wow today is the day" Alex says as we sit at the lunch table
"few days of practice, lets hope Kellin has talent" Justin mumbles

"okay who the fuck let you back here? You've been gone all week well at least from this table and the day you come back, you say shit" I say and he goes silent.

"you'll be fine" Alex reassures me. Everyday this week has been the same, School day goes slow, no one talks to me in class, I feel like Jaime and I are back on old terms, how nice hes been to me faded and now its just silence, in the class we have together he just sat far away leaving me alone.

Art class has always been okay, Alex and I have really gotten close. I help him with his art, after school hes helped me learn more songs on the pianos, or he just calls me and takes my mind off of not being with Vic.

Vic hasn't really had time to spend with me. He walks me from art to lunch, leaves to work on the song or go to a class, has work after school. He hasn't really gotten time to spend with me. But hes doing what he wants to, hes getting money to help his family.

"excuse me, I have to, go" I say and I excuse myself from the table with the asshole I call my best friend and the guy who could be my new best friend. Justin and Alex are the only two who showed at the table today. I can feel peoples eyes on me as I walk away. I distance myself from everyone walking in the hallway and I cling onto my backpack tighter. I make my way outside and I lay on the hill a bit away from the foot ball field.

The place Vic and I named ours, I feel like its more VIc's...Meanwhile this area is mine. Its such a bad spot, I mean who wants to be near the school? But yet its my spot. I mostly come here alone, but Jack sometimes would meet me here, one time we drank here, its such a laughable moment, we were so young, well younger and we didn't know what the hell we were getting into, we were on the school grounds, here's also where Jack would try to convince me I was gay.. Wow such beautiful memories Kellin.

I hear the faint sounds of the bell ringing, class is in session, but here I am being lazy on a field thinking about the past. I look up at the clouds and the light blue sky.

Who's left you, lets see Kellin, Jesse's left, Gabe disagrees with you and you aren't on the best terms with him, Justin...Lets face it Justin is gone from your social circle, just face it make people hate him and move on, who cares if he knows you, you no longer need to know him. and my parents left again, as soon as you think maybe they will stay they leave, at least I'm on better terms with them..

You're Kellin Quinn, this wasn't supposed to happen to you, but well..I guess I always knew it would.

I watch as the clouds move and the only noises I hear are the cars off in the distance and all I feel is the grass around me swaying with the light wind, brushing my arms softly.

--

The bell rings and I get up, I brush myself off and I rush into the school, I rush into music class and take my seat, surprised Vic is in his normal spot next to me.

"hey, this weekend, you and me at my place, what do you think?" Vic asks and I look at him, "yeah" I say with a smile, he smiles back. Pairs of people start preforming, they aren't bad, but yet some of them its obvious have never touched an instrument before. Vic and Oliver go up, I watch as Vic strums the guitar.

"If you call me at all
Don't tell me that I'm ordinary
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read

Turn off this light, call my name
Don't talk, just ride
Who wouldn't let you be all about,
About me
I'm only trying to work this out

So, if you call me at all
Don't tell me that I'm ordinary
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave.
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read
If you call me at all

Oh, I hear you breathing on the line
Oh baby girl, I'm not your type
I'll leave you hurting every night
So I won't be coming back
Who wouldn't let me be all alone
Who wouldn't let me be all alone
Who wouldn't let you scream ohh to a soft pillow

I'm such an animal
And baby honestly these teeth won't let you go

Don't tell me that I'm ordinary
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read
If you call me at all
Don't tell me that I'm ordinary
Cause I won't be passing you, please don't leave
And if you tell me you're listening to everything you read
If you call me at all" They both sing, some of the lines Vic sings the other lines Oliver sings.Vic puts the guitar down and They sit down and await their grade.

"B" is all our music teacher says and I sigh, well if they got a B, Alex and I might get that or lower.

"Kellin, Alex" Miss.King says and I get up, I sit at the piano that surprisingly no one in this class have used today. Alex stands in front of it but in a way that people can still see me, I look at the keys then to Alex and he gives me a sign hes ready, I start playing and he starts singing. That's all you can here, there's no other sounds.

When we finish we sit down and there's a long silence until our grade is announced.

"100 percent, A, that was amazing" Miss.King says wiping away a tear, we were the last to preform so everyone starts talking and its no longer silence.

"I didn't know you could play" Vic says
"learned a long time ago, Alex helped me out a bit" I say and Vic nods. The bell rings and I hear Vic let out a huge sigh.

"I'll call you tomorrow morning, pick up" he says softly and calmly and he leaves the room. What is that supposed to mean? Why wouldn't I pick up.

"We need to celebrate this" Alex says as I get up and he follows me out of the class room, "and what do you have in mind?" I ask and he shrugs.
"I heard from Jack you have a fake ID" Alex says in a whisper
"do you have one?" I ask and I see him nod from the corner of my eyes

"well I cant be hung over tomorrow so how about we hold the heavy celebrating off for a little and just order a pizza and hang at my place" I say

*Alex Pov*

I sit criss cross on the floor in front of the big screen TV in Kellin's basement, he sits right in front of the screen, we aren't watching anything so its not a problem. I take a bite of the pizza and Kellin picks up another one from the box in between us.

"so tell me Kellin, whats the first thing that comes to your mind..right now?" I ask

"pizza" he says before taking another bite

"No really, whats on your mind right now?" I ask

"in my mind? Piano, I don't even know why" he admits...That's what I've been waiting for...For once this week, Kellin didn't say 'Vic'. I think my work here is done.
Zack called me this morning for an update before school and he told me to ask Kellin again whats on his mind, and he was right, its not Vic, Vic is slowly moving away from Kellin's mind. Do I feel bad about this? Yeah but at the same time it feels right, lets face it Kellin shouldn't love Vic anyways, Vic shouldn't love Kellin, maybe this is for the best. At lunch today after Kellin left Justin admitted he hates Kellin, always knew he hated Kellin, just took him a while to realize it.

I let him trash talk about Kellin and then...That's when he told me the thing no one seems to know about Kellin, the month where he almost broke down, his weakest point. Someone said the word worthless to a random kid, not even to Kellin, but he sure took that word to heart, I guess maybe he thought too much, Justin said that Kellin wouldn't talk to many people, when he did he was a bitch, not the normal bitch he seemed to always used to be. But worse. His parents weren't home, he got time to think, he stopped eating for a week, Oliver would stop by to see if Kellin was home at night and check up on him, but Kellin wasn't there, he was never home and no one really knows where he was those nights, Oliver tried asking but Kellin brushed it off. He said he was fine. But after he said that more than three times Justin sat him down straight talked him out of his thoughts and got Kellin back to his cocky self.

Justin says if he didn't give Kellin that talk Kellin would be a upset weak mess right now. Before lunch ended the last thing Justin said was, 'I''m sure Kellin is still weak in there and I would do anything to watch him crumble...I would kill to see him fall off of his throne'.
