(Vic's POV)

I didn't tell Kellin where to go when I called because he already knew. When I heard him walking towards the tree, I almost fainted from the feeling in my stomach. His breathing could be heard already so I assumed he was as equally nervous.

He takes a final breath, then pushes back the branches and walks beneath the leaves, looking just as cute as always, as much as I hated to admit it.

Black skinny jeans with the ankles rolled, a black sweatshirt, and his trademark black Toms. He sits next to me with a few inches between us, and sends me a small, hesitant smile. I expected a hello. "I'm sorry." He says timidly.

This made me feel bad. Was this what he thought I wanted? I felt stupid and rude. He shouldn't feel like the first thing he has to do is apologize to me but I guess that's how it looked though, didn't it? Maybe I was harsh.

"That's not why I wanted to see you, Kellin. I missed you, I'm not mad."

He straightened up and pulls his legs to sit Indian style. He fiddles his hands in his lap and those eyes watch me sadly. "But I am, so say it's okay."

"It's okay," I laugh lightly, trying to brighten the mood. "But I am too. I think I overreacted. When we weren't speaking, it hit me that we weren't together and you were right. I don't have the right to say things like that to you, I--"

"You were right. I knew you were going through a bad time and I shouldn't have kissed you and all that if--"

"Let's just forget about it. Start over?"

He nods and smiles, opening his arms and I lean against him in a hug, closing my eyes. I let out a breath as he does the same. Then we pull away, against my will, and he quickly presses his lips to mine. I raise my eyebrows and fight off the feeling in my stomach enough to pull away from him. "Kellin," I say quietly. He hums, "Sorry. I, um, I missed you."

I blush and pull my knees up, sighing. I missed him too and I wanted to kiss him again, but I didn't think the time was right. "Does this mean I ruined my chances?" He says, trying to laugh a little. I glance at him, "Of?" He leans against the tree as well and I scoot closer, feeling unnecessary space between us.

I move so our thighs are pressed together and it feels right again. "Me and you."

"You haven't." I blush again. He looks at me and smiles a little, "Good."

There was a short pause, then we both start telling stories, catching up and brightening the slightly tense aura. I laugh as he tells me how annoying the people at school are, how behind he is on work, and rambles about his mother. "She hasn't moved on about me staying?" I ask in disbelief, seeing as it was over a month ago.

He shakes his head and I do the same, sighing. "She's definitely something, Kellin." I roll my eyes, thinking of my own mom. "Got that right. How's your dad and brother?" So it's my turn to ramble about me and Mike getting closer and the opposite for Dad. He puts an arm around me and lets me lay my head on his shoulder as I talk, and it's comforting. He's comforting.

Jesus, I'd missed this.
