King For A Day

Kellin's POV

i was sitting in the cafeteria of the hospital drinking a pink lemonade and crying over Victor. why did i think that he'd feel the same way about me? i'm a loser, a joke, a freak. no one will ever love me i guess. i laid my head on my arms and began to sob. i shouldn't have come here. it was a mistake. what was even worse is that i have to ride home with Maria, Victor, and his baby brother. it was all going to be very awkward. i felt a tap on my shoulder and i looked up and saw victors brother mike towering over me. i wiped my eyes and motioned for him to sit down. he pulled out a chair and sat beside me.

" hi kellin how are you?" he asked softly. i just shrugged my shoulders. he leaned over and hugged me and i blushed. i wasn't used to being hugged by people i barely knew.

"look i know you are hurt from what happened with my brother but it will be okay. you seem like a really nice guy and you are super hot. you'll have no trouble finding someone who would be more than glad to be with you." my blush deepened. did he just call me hot?

"so are you gonna be moving to California permanently?" i asked suddenly very interested in the younger fuentes. he was even cuter than victor and he was sweet.

"yeah i guess so. it's going to be something totally new and it'll take sometime to adjust to things but i heard that it's really nice. is it?"

" yeah cali is amazing. beautiful places and beautiful people, fun things to do, and it's sunny. i think you'll really like it." i said smiling

" yeah it helps that you'll be there." his eyes widened and he blushed. i smiled.

"so did they discharge you? i see that you are dressed now." he nodded slowly. he was staring at me. i felt as if i should look better at that moment.

"so kellin have you ever had a boyfriend? or girlfriend?" he asked scooting closer to me. i blushed and looked down. i shook my head.

"well don't feel bad. i haven't either. i just never really had time to date. been so busy taking care of my dead beat dad and school. but if i do date it'll be a guy." he looked at me when he said the last part. i blushed yet again.

"you're uh.....gay.....?" he nodded again.

"alright come on kellman. i need a smoke bad right now. been cooped up in the hospital and they wouldn't let me have a cigarette." he took my hand and i swear i felt like i was on cloud 9. holding his hand just felt...right. we went outside and to his mom's car. he climbed in the back and lit a cigarette.

''want one?" i shook my head. he shrugged and went back to smoking.

"so when we get to California you have to be my tour guide. you have to show me the best and worst of California. we are going to be attached at the hand. and maybe i could get to know better and steal that heart of yours. i smiled.

"i'd like that a lot mike. uh where did your friend go? the one who's dating vic." he paused for a second.

" you know i actually have no idea. i need to go and check on him because he'd do the same for me." he pulled out his phone and dialed Alex's number. " no answer. i hope his dad didn't do anything to him. he's nothing but an abusive sack of shit." he had angry tears rolling down his face. i took his hand and squeezed it.

" well let's go find out. he is your friend and vic's boyfriend so we have to go check on him. plus i want to apologize for wigging out the way i did." mike nodded. he called his mom and told her to meet us at the car. she came out a few minutes later.

" dios mio would everyone stop walking off. you guys are stressing me out. you need to stay in once place. mijo where is your big brother? and kellin you are coming with us right?" i nodded.

"mom i thought he was with you. i'll call him." he dialed vic's number and talked to him. " he is going to see if alex is ok. mom can you drive us over there? we might need an adult." she nodded.

"i just hope he is ok." i nodded. i hoped he was too. no one deserves to be abused.
