If You Can't Hang, Then There's the Door

When Kellin and the guys were done with their set, pierce the veil for ready to go on, Kellin grabbed my hand as we were leaving the stage and pulled up right up to Vic, I blushed hard.

"hey Vic, this is the birthday girl and one of your biggest fans" Kellin Said
giving him a smile as the have each other 'bro' hugs.

"So your who were playing for , your a very special girl to Kellin! It's great to meet you" he opened his arms for a hug and I shyly obliged. He squeezed the life out of me.

"no need to be so nervous ! I don't bite" Vic said laughing cause I haven't said a word yet.

"I'm sorry I just didn't expect all this, please play y favorite song ?" I said quickly causing Vic to laugh some more.

"Which song may that be?" He said releasing me from our hug and grabbing his guitar to tune.

"Currents convulsive" I said shyly still blushing.

"Of course, I'll sing anything for Kellins girl" he winked as Kellin grabbed my Hand leading me away from Vic, only to lead me right up to Austin Carlisle.

"Kellin I can only handle so much embarrassment in one night!" I said shakily

"Scar They are all here to celebrate with us, your gonna see them all night!" He said laughing and squeezing my hand, which oddly calmed me.

"Hey Kellin, is this the birthday girl ?" Austin walked over to us and immediately took my hand and kissed the top of it. I couldn't help but giggle.

"Yes, I'm Scarlett" I said more confident then I had with Vic.

"So what's your favorite song?" He asked me releasing my hand, I gushed. I couldn't pick just one.

"All of them, just play forever" I said seriously as him and Kellin burst out laughing.

"She really loves you guys, I doubt she even has just one favorite song" Kellin said between laughs, he knew me so well.

"I'll just surprise you then" Austin said winking and walking over to Vic.

"Not so bad right ?" Kellin teased and grabbed two chairs for us to sit in while we were side staged.

We sat in silence, all I wanted was to know what we were going to talk about. Did he have feelings for me ? What about Rachel? My anxiety kept building up inside me I felt like I was going to burst, I tried to just focus on Vic as he sang my favorite song, he would look over and point to me as I sang along.

"Happy birthday Scarlett! Your first drink tonight is on me!" Vic yelled as they finished their set, he walked over and hugged me as Jesse snapped a photo with his iPhone.

"Stop it Jesse!" I shouted as he kept saying cheese as Kellin and Austin jumped into the picture with me and Vic, Jesse kept snapping pictures as Austin and Kellin picked me up and Vic have two thumbs up to him. I tried to make them put me down but that didn't happen.

"relax scar go get a drink with Vic" Kellin said laughing and setting me down.

"I did say I'd buy your first drink, let's go as Austin warms up" Vic held out his elbow like a gentleman and I followed him on his arm to the bar.

"What are you drinking doll?" Vic asked as the bartender came up to us.

"No clue ! Pick something a typical girl would like" I said laughing being clueless.

"The lady of the hour will have a sex on the beach, and I'll have a jack and coke" he winked as he ordered my drink.

He handed it to me with a smile and took a sip of his jack and coke.

"So ... How long have you and Kellin been together?" Vic asked causing me to choke on my drink, or was delicious but his question took me off guard.

"W-what?" I stuttered as he patted my back.

"I've never seen a guy as in love with a girl as I have when Kellin looks at you" Vic said smiling as I took a few deep breaths.

"We'll, we aren't a couple if that's what you were asking" he frowned

"Really ? Your all he would ever talk about at the studio, and he would always get nervous and blush whenever you called him" Vic continue as we made our way backstage again. I was blushing at the thought of Kellin liking me .

"And he would blush just like you do when he thought of you, I assume your thinking of him" he whispered as Kellin approached. My mouth was open slightly shocked at what Vic said, he just gave me a dramatic wink without Kellin noticing and I told him to hush by putting my finger to my lips.

"Hey darling. Whatcha drinking there ?" Kellin asked taking a sip and smiling. My heart raced as his hand was on mine.

"A sex on the beach, She had no idea what she wanted" Vic stepped in and Kellin laughed.

"your too cute Scar, we will tech you the ways of drinking!" Kellin laughed as I sipped more of my drinks

"We'll this plus my wine at dinner, I'm feeling pretty ok so far" Vic laughed as we heard Austin on stage, we all crowded around to watch.

They played Ben threw as I smiled and danced to the song, feeling slightly tipsy and more anxious then ever as Kellin grabbed my hand and swayed with me.

"We'll as you all know this amazing get together was for Kellins girl, Scarlett right over there, Vic stole my line so your next two drinks are on me !" Austin yelled ending his set and causing Vic to flip him off.

"Oh my I better catch up then" I said laughing that I had two free drinks to go.

"TIME FOR JOLLY RANCHER SHOTS" Jesse shouted running up to me and handing me a shot just as I finished my drink. I downed it instantly and smiled.

"Your gonna top Kellin." Jack said from behind me and I couldn't help but think maybe I would be more outrageous then him. At the rate I was going. But I didn't want to miss me and Kellins talk up by being to drunk.

"I kind of hope she does, then you all will shut up about it" Kellin laughed as rubbed my shoulders.

"C-can we talk?" I stuttered to Kellin, everyone was starting to go there separate ways around the club as the music got louder and less hardcore an more hip hop.

"Scar it's ok, we can have our talk tomorrow, I know your going to get pretty wasted tonight. " he said calmly.

"No Kellin, I want to talk now, it's been driving me insane all night" I whispered and he pulled my chin up with his hand forcing me to look at him. He kissed the tip of my nose and whispered.

"ok scar, lets go somewhere more private" I blushed at his kiss and the feel of his breath on my cheeks.

My heart raced as he smiled at me, grabbed my hand and lead me to a room back stage, and shut the door.

We leaned his back against the door and looked at the ground, I stood there in front of him , waiting for him to speak. The silence was slightly awkward, and it was causing me to feel sick with anticipation.

"Scar... These past few weeks... Seeing you again, have been amazing" he started to speak, still looking at his shoes and playing with his hands, back still against the door leaning on it casually.

"Kellin?" I questioned but he raised his hand for me to stop,

"Let me get this out, I can write lyrics for songs all day long and get my feelings across, but in person... I find it difficult to formulate the right way of getting my point across... And this is the hardest thing I've ever thought about doing" he took a deep breath and stepped closer to me and grabbed both my hands in his, running his thumbs across my palms constantly and biting his lip looking me in to the eyes.

"Scar, I know we're best friends, as I know this may seem out of the blue... But I haven't been able to shake it these past few weeks... I.. I have feelings for you Scar, feelings I can't explain and to be honest I'm fucking terrified." He said getting closer to me still,

"what about Rachel Kell?" I said regretting those words.

"She changed me Scar, she wasn't good for me, besides she realized her ex was mr. Right and I told her I had enough of her bullshit" he whispered as our foreheads touched, I was on my tip toes and was waiting for him to make his move.

"So.. What are you saying" I whispered back.

"Scar, I... I want to be more than friends, but I don't want you to be just a rebound or ruin what we have, but after tonight, seeing how beautiful you are, how loved by everyone you are, how proud and amazing i think you are and writing a song like that about you and singing to you. I realized I've been in love with you for years and never noticed until I told you that you had all of my heart, I've been an idiot Scar... I was blind to the most amazing thing in my life.... And that's you" I had tears in my eyes, Kellin was in love with me ? Is this actually happening .

"I should have realized how much you loved me the day we got these" he brushed his fingers across where y tattoo was and I ran t hand over his chest piece,

"This could mean everything..." He whispered then crashed his lips against mine.

I felt a powerful burst of sparks like never before, his lips against mine made me feel like nothing else mattered, time was frozen, the world stopped when we kissed, he ran his tongue across my bottom lip and gladly let it passed, he ran his hand up the back of my neck tangling his fingers in my hair and deepening the kiss. His kiss was magical, I could feel every ounce of emotion he had through his kiss. When we parted I couldn't help but smile and kiss him one last time quickly.

"Please tell me it isn't nothing at all" I whispered.

He grabbed my hand and smiled.

"Scar, please be my everything?"

My face got hot, I'm sure I was the deepest shade of red anyone's ever seen.

"I've always been your everything" he smiled and picked me up in a hug and spun me around.

Me and Kellin... We're finally what we should have always been. A couple.
