So Lock and Load
Blood
“Vic! Viiiic!” I heard mike call from the hallway. School ended an hour ago, but I’ve just been sitting having a panic attack that seemed to not end.
“Vic!” I heard Tony’s voice call out too.
“VIIIIC!” of course Jaime’s call was the loudest. Did they all meet? Mike probably went on a man hunt for me or something. I just ignored as their calls became louder and louder as they neared the bathroom where I was sitting with my knees held to my chest and tear stains on my cheeks. I watched as the door opened up to reveal my brother and my two new friends. Mike immediately dropped to the ground and wrapped an arm around me.
“What happened?” he whispered to me.
“It’s my fault, it’s all my fault,” I mumbled.
“Hey, what’s going on?” Jaime asked. Mike just said he’d tell them later and kept comforting me.
“No Vic, you didn’t do anything” He tried to reassure me but my thoughts continued to just return to that night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK HOLY SHIT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walked down the street, the air had a breeze to it but I didn’t mind because it was nice in the San Diego heat. There was something different about the night though. As I neared my house I checked the time on my phone to make sure I was seeing this right, it was 2:00 A.M. and the lights in the house were on. I stopped in my tracks to check my phone again to make sure I had told my parents I was going to be out late, I did, so there wasn’t a reason for them to be waiting up. My father and mother had work the following day so they wouldn’t be up without anything important happening. What if someone’s hurt? Did something happen to Mike? All these thoughts ran through my head as I neared the house and started to pick up my pace until I was at a full on sprint. I reached the door and found it was already opened. Then I heard it.
The scream.
That sound would haunt me for the rest of my life.
That scream was the last sound my mother ever made.
I ran up the stairs following the yells and screams I was hearing until I reached my parent’s bedroom. The light was on and I saw my dead parents, lying in a pool made up of their own blood.
I dropped to my knees next to them and tried my best to do anything that might help them or keep them alive or bring them back somehow. But I was late. They were gone.
If I had gotten there sooner…

I stayed in my somewhat fetal position on the floor, saying nothing as I felt a tear run down my cheek.

If you weren’t so stupid and selfish they would be here.
My thoughts continued to eat away at me as Mike tried to shake me out of my trance.
“Vic, Vic please, say something, it’s not your fault, it’s not anyone’s but the guy who did its fault. You probably couldn’t have done anything if you had gotten there sooner. Hell, you would probably be dead too, Vic. Please” by the end of his last sentence he was whispering. I just nodded and he smiled trying to fake like I was okay.
“We need to get you home” he said. I shook my head. I didn’t want to go home. I didn’t want to be here but I really didn’t want to go home.
“Where else would we go?” Mike asked.
“I don’t know, anywhere but home, and here,” I said simply.
“Okay, we’ll just indulge your inner sassy gay boy that I know lives inside of you” He said with an excited smile, I smirked and looked up at Jaime and Tony who didn’t seem fazed by the gay comment “We’re going shopping!” I smiled at my brother.
“The sassy gay boy in me, doesn’t like shopping and you know that. All of me actually hates that” I laughed “but I do need some new shirts, so why the hell not?” I said not wanting to spoil it for Mike. He always uses me as an excuse to go shopping.
“wait, so let’s get a few things straight here,” Jaime began trying to look tough and serious “First, we’re going shopping with you and there are no arguments ‘kay?” we nodded laughing.
“You’re gay?” Tony asked with the same expression Jaime had a moment before.
“Flaming homo” I answered with a serious expression.
“Okay,” he said with a smile. We all got up and after Mike talked to our uncle we began our walk to the shopping center-like-thing.
We walked occasionally talking about random shit. We finally got there and Tony and Mike automatically ran over to a store that had a bunch of starwars and harry potter shit. Jaime ran after Tony warning him that he had no money. I looked around for a second and saw the music store that I saw the first time I was here. After yelling at them that I was going there I walked into the store. It was really quiet in the store and there were people silently looking through the music in the store. I walked over to a place where I saw an A Day to Remember Cd and looked at it seeing that it was homesick. I smiled and remembered that, this was the one CD I didn’t bring with me to Michigan, because it had um…you know, blood on it and I refused to clean it. So I decided on buying it and walked around more browsing around and looking through the selection of music that they had. I looked and saw a Goo Goo Dolls vinyl and looked at it seeing it was Dizzy up the Girl.
“Nice taste” I heard a voice from behind me. I jumped in surprise and turned around. I knew that voice.
“Uh…thank you” I finally said to the blue eyed boy I had just turned around to face. I looked at him, he was a little taller than me, he was slightly pale and he had black hair that reached just above the bottom of his neck. He was pretty.
“Um…” he said snapping me out of my thoughts, I realized I had been staring and blushed.
“Vic” I said reaching my hand out for him to shake.
“Kellin” he smiled at me flashing his perfectly white smile, and shaking my hand.
“VIC!! GET YOUR MEXICAN ASS OVER HERE!” I heard Mike yell from across the store, earning some glares from the costumers.
“SHUT UP YOU’RE JUST AS MEXICAN AS ME!” I yelled back a little less loud but still loud enough to get more glares.
“I’m guessing you’re needed elsewhere” Kellin smirked.
“Yeah” I said blushing and doing my best to hide it.
“Well I’ll see you around town” he said and turned and walked away. I found myself staring at his butt as he left. What? Don’t judge me, he’s hot.
“You wanna bang him huh?” Mike teased as I felt him stand behind me. I punched him in the arm.
“What was that for?” he asked after I punched him.
“Being stupid,” I mumbled and left the shop and stayed silent as we left Tony and Jaime, and made our way home.
“Vic!” I heard Tony’s voice call out too.
“VIIIIC!” of course Jaime’s call was the loudest. Did they all meet? Mike probably went on a man hunt for me or something.
