The Dare

Chapter 25- finale

"Kellin?" Said Mike in surprise when we entered through the door.

"Vic!" Jaime appeared beside Mike and took no time in running towards us and flinging his arms around Vic's neck. Vic hugged him back with a little hesitation but I had to turn away when jaime pulled away from him and kissed him.

I could handle the hugging but seeing them kiss just made my heart hurt and it reminded me that Vic wasn't all mine yet, he never was just mine.

"I can't believe all of that happened to you" said Jaime and I looked up to see him standing close to Vic but thankfully not kissing anymore.

"Yeah" Vic replied, he looked to me and then back to jaime.

"That Danny guy must have been one messed up ass to kidnap you, why did he do it anyway?" asked jaime sounding confused and he would since he was never told the whole story in full detail.

I felt my fists clench still, even though I didn't like Danny I couldn't exactly blame everything on him. I mean Vic had a part play in it and Danny was unstable after all.

"Oh, sup Kellin?" asked jaime finally noticing me. I smiled and nodded my head but it was all fake and I knew Vic would now it was fake too.

"Sorry about the kissing before" smiled jaime "erm... you were involved with this kidnap thing right?" he asked

"Y-yeah" I nodded in my usual quiet voice. "Although I didn't get it quiet as bad as... Vic"

"Anyway, I'm glad the whole thing is over and I'm glad that your both okay otherwise I might have had to bring these two bad boys" said jaime flexing his muscles for all of us to see.

Mike laughed and I gave a small smile at jaime before turning my eyes on Vic who was looking right back at me. He stayed looking at each other for a few moments until he took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a few seconds.

"Jaime? We need to talk" He said placing a hand on his shoulder to stop his little flexing session.

"But you bought Kellin, we can't leave him here by himself" frowned jaime

"Mikes here, plus we really need to talk" he said taking ahold of his hand.

"I'm going out bro" interrupted mike, who was putting on his little denim vest and grabbing a lighter from the table.

"I promised to meet with Frenchi" said Mike heading to the door.

"I thought you two broke up?" asked Vic

"Yeah, but now we have to sort out a few things like, who gets what and shit" said Mike walking out the door "sorry Kellin" Mike gave me a sympathetic look and then shut the door behind him.

"Jaime please? it's important" Begged Vic turning back to face him once Mike was gone. I felt my heart beating faster by the second, what am I even soon here?

"Fine" He rolled his eyes and smiled at me "we won't be long, help yourself to anything in the fridge and feel free to change the channels" he told me and I smiled again.

Jaime climbed the stairs and Vic followed behind him, turning to look at me as I watched them from the bottom of the stairs. Vic gave me smile to let him know everything would be alright and I guess it helped a little because no doubt I looked like a wreck down here boy myself and honestly I'd rather be anywhere else.

"I love you" He mouthed to before shutting the door to his bedroom to begin the longest conversation he probably have.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They've been up there ages. Hours actually, I mean I expected it to take long but not this long. I look to the clock again for the umpteenth time and two hours had passed since they went up there.

I was sitting on the sofa, watching a show on low volume and sipping at my glass of water slowly. I couldn't bring myself to eat, not whilst knowing what was happening. There was crying first, Jaime's I think, but he doesn't strike me as the sort of person to cry. Vic cried at some point but only for a few minutes before the shouting started, I only caught a few words.

"Unfair" , "Manwhore" , "liar" and "stupid" being the main ones. I felt awful, although I knew it wasn't, I couldn't help but feel like this was my fault. I know what it's like to have your heart broken into a million pieces and have the person you thought who loved you betray you and I couldn't help but feel like I was doing that jaime.

I can tell how much he loves Vic, how his whole face lit up when he saw him and his eyes held a loving adoration for him when he looked at him. Vic loved jaime too but I can't see the same love in his eyes that jaime has for him.

I fidgeted with my fingers as the silence in the house grew. It had been absolutely quiet for about ... 30 minutes now and in my opinion it was 30 minutes too long.

What am I even doing here? This isn't my problem, it's not my fault is if Vic can't face his problems. I stood up from my seat and headed to the door, ready to leave when I heard a door open. I thought about slipping out quickly before they could see me but I was stopped.

"Wait!" a voice said behind me, I closed my eyes and then opened them again as I turned to face Jamie who was coming down the stairs slowly.

I swallowed unconsciously as he came to stand in front of me. He looked broken and hurt and I was half expecting him to shout or hit me but he didn't.

"I'm sorry" I said the first thing that came into my head . I was so used to apologising for things that weren't my fault that saying 'sorry' just felt like the right thing to do.

"No" he shook his head "it's not your fault"

I looked down at the floor, I just wanted to leave, I don't want to be here, I want Vic.

"I... I'm sorry" I snapped my head up to look at him in confusion, he's sorry?

"The way they treated you was really unfair because your a cool person and I don't blame you, I blame Vic" he said

"He shouldn't have said yes to the dare and he should have told me earlier how he felt but... you know it's Vic" he shrugged, he didn't look to bad from the two hour talk but his his eyes were a rad bit swollen.

"I love Vic" he said "I wall always love him and I want him to be happy but if being with you instead me makes him happy then... I'm okay with that" he said giving me a small smile.

I didn't know what to say, what are you supposed to say? I saw Vic standing at the top of the stairs and I looked back to jaime.

"Er... thanks I guess and sorry, I-I didn't know about you and Vic till today and.."

"Can I just ask you something?" jaime interrupted and I nodded my head

"Why are you still with him? I don't mean this in a bad way but if I were in your shoes I wouldn't have given him a second chance never mind a third one" he chuckled lightly.

Why am I still with him? It's definitely not for his communication skills but how can I explain that he's only person who has ever understood me and the only person who can make me happy and smile when I feel like nothing's worth living for.

"He makes me happy" I replied "he's the only person I have left, apart from mason" jaime looked at me confused for a second and I remembered that he doesn't know who Mason is.

"He make me feel good about myself" I looked at Vic who was staring back at me "and every time he's near me I get butterflies and when's not near me I want him to be near me" Vic smiled and smile back

"I love him" I said quietly and looking back to jaime who was smiling.

"I know" he replied in a sad voice and glancing up to Vic "and he loves you too, I know he does"

"Jaime, I'm really really sorry" I said feeling guilty again.

"No it's fine, plus I sorta have my eye on a girl back home anyway, I'll get over it" he said " I'm gonna go for a walk, give you two some time to talk" he said and smiled at me before leaving.

I turned my attention Vic who was slowly descending the stairs and coming towards me. I felt really bad for jaime, I know he's probably hurting more than he lets on.

"Are you okay?" asks Vic when he reaches me, he places his hands on my hips lightly and pulls me to him.

"Yeah" I reply "are you?"

"I am now, thank you" he says kissing my me forehead

"For what?" I frown and tilt my head sideways

"For staying with me, I know I'm a fucking idiot but I'd be totally lost without you" he smiled

"Well I won't argue with that" he laughed "you are an idiot but your my idiot and I love you"

I pulled him closer to me and wrapped my arms around his neck so I could kiss him easier. The usual butterflies I get when I kiss him appeared and felt myself melt into the kiss more.

I knew it was going to take me some time to completely trust and forgiveVic for everything he's done but when I do I now I'll still live him just as much as I do right now.

Vic is the only thing I have left and I'm honestly okay with that as long as he's with me I know I can get through anything and I just know that this is only the beginning of our relationship, our real relationship...

Oh and Mason too.
