Better Off Dead ~Kellic~

~1~

The story idea was from the photo above.

Kellin's POV

I was constantly scared to go to school because of what I assumed was the school jock. I hated him. The worst part was that he was in the same grade as me, so I had to deal with him until after high school. After that though, I won't have to deal with him anymore.

"Yo, freak." I heard Mike say from behind me. I stopped in my tracks, but didn't turn around to face him. "Do you know what's about to happen?" I slowly nodded my head before looking at the ground. The next thing I know is that I'm being shoved into a locker and the door is being shut. I heard laughing before I heard foot steps walk away.

I took a deep breath as I felt the tears start falling down my face. This happened a lot, and I really hated it. I was always late to my classes because of him shoving me into lockers. I wish that I didn't have to deal with him anymore, but I knew I had to.

After about 30 minutes, I was let out of the locker and I was able to go to class. I really hated being late to class because everyone stares at me. They also laugh at me when I tell them my excuse as to why. After the teacher had told them to be quiet, I was able to go to my seat. I didn't make it without being tripped by Mike though, and everyone just laughed at me again. I really hated Mike.

Throughout the day, Mike and his friends kept pushing, punching, and kicking me. When I was able to leave the school, I did as quickly as I could before Mike got to me again. Having to deal with them ever since I started Jr. High was really terrible. The only breaks that I've ever gotten from them is when they aren't at school or during a break.

When I got home, I immediately went up to my room and did my homework. I also mindlessly drew and wrote on my arm. I honestly didn't think much about it, I just always subconsciously did it.

"Kellin! Dinner!" I heard my mom yell. I sat up and closed the sharpie I was using before I answered back.

"Okay, coming!" I then went downstairs and ate before going to bed and dreading school the next day.

Mike's POV

"Mike, wake up, we have to go to school." I heard my older brother, Vic, say.

"Five more minutes." I mumble.

"You don't have five minutes, you have four to get ready to go."

"Holy shit, why didn't you wake me up sooner?" I asked as I got up and did what I usually did in the morning.

"I tried to, but you wouldn't wake up."

"Oh, sorry."

"It's okay, lets just go before we're late." I nodded, and we both walked out to his car. We got in, and he drove us to school.

On the way to the school, I noticed all the drawings and writings on his arms. I also noticed that some of the lines were over his scars and cuts. I sighed as I looked at them, and I was about to say something before Vic spoke.

"I know Mike, don't say anything about them though, please?"

"Okay."

"Thank you." He said as he pulled into the school parking lot. When he did, I noticed Kellin walking, and I smirked. He was always wearing long sleeves, and I was going to expose them today with my friends.

Vic parked and turned the car off before we both got out and went inside the school. I immediately went to my friends and told them my plan, and they liked it. Soon after I told them, we went in search of Kellin. We found him sitting on the stairs outside the main doors of the school. We walked over, and I stood in front of him, he looked down.

"We're going to do something different today freak, do you know what we're going to do?" I asked. He shook his head no, but didn't look up. I didn't say anything after that, I just sat on his lap and pushed him down. He looked absolutely terrified, and he started struggling.

"I'm not going to rape you, calm down."

"Th-then what a-are you-ou going to d-do?"

"This." I said as I grabbed one of his sleeves and pulled it towards his elbow. I didn't expect to see what I did though. I didn't think it was real, so I pulled his other sleeve to his elbow, and I saw the same thing.

"What the hell is this?" I asked angrily.

"Wr-writings an-d d-d-drawings."

"You smart mouth me again and I'll break you, understand?" Kellin nodded. "Guys, go to class, I need to have a word with Kellin.

"Alright, see you later then?" Jaime asked.

"Of course." I said, then Jaime and Gabe left. I got off of Kellin and pulled him up so that he was standing. He honestly looked so scared, but I didn't care, I was on a mission. I dragged Kellin to where I knew Vic would be, but I didn't expect to see him being beaten, and that made me angry.

"Stay here." I said to Kellin before I went over and pushed the two guys away from Vic. "I thought I told you guys not to hurt him."

"You did, but he ran into us." Jack said.

"So, you don't hurt him at all, and the next time I find you hurting him, he won't be the only one with a broken nose, got it?"

"Yes Mike, sorry Mike." Alex said as he pulled Jack away from me. I turned to Vic and helped him up.

"Thanks Mike."

"You're welcome Vic." I walked back over to Kellin, and he looked confused and scared. "Follow." Kellin nodded and followed after me.

"Mike, can you stop please, I really just want to sit down." Vic said. It was understandable, he was limping.

"Okay, just...."

"Be careful, I know."

"Good."

"Anyway, who's this?"

"This is Kellin, my.....friend."

"F-friend, you c-contantl-ly bully me." Kellin said. I turned my head and glared at him. He almost immediately took a step away from me.

"Mike." Vic said angrily.

"Sorry Vic, but that wasn't the reason I brought him to you." I said

"The why'd you bring him to me? I have a new friend now, and you can't hurt him."

"Cause I wanna see something."

"What's that?"

"Both of you, hold out your left arm."

"Why?" Kellin asked as he shakily sat next to Vic.

"Just do it." Kellin nodded and held out his left arm, and so did Vic. I pushed Kellin's sleeve up again because he had pulled it down, and I looked at both of their arms. They had the same writings and drawing on their arms int he same spot. Now I was really confused. "What the fuck."

"What?" Vic asked.

"Look at your guy's arms, you two have the same marks in the exact same spots, what the fuck."

"Oh, we do. Kellin, would you like to hang out after school today?"

"Umm.....sure." Kellin said.

"Cool, just meet at the bottom of the stairs that lead to the main doors, okay?" Kellin nodded just as the bell rang, and we all went to class.

I was still confused about the marks, but I was going to ask my mom when I get home. Today has become very confusing for me.
