Save Me

-- Jezabelle's POV--
It was exactly a month after Kellin and I had become public. I had gotten so much hate, I was drowning in it. I was sinking, farther and farther down. Back into the hole that is depression. I could feel it. But I couldn't do anything about it. But I didn't think Kellin knew.
"Hey, baby." Kellin said, sitting down on the couch and wrapping his strong arms around me. He kissed me on the forehead. "Hey, love." I said, trying to sound perky, but resolutely failing. "What's wrong, sweetie?" he asked. "Nothing... I'm fine." I lied. "Are you sure?" he asked, concern filling his eyes. I blinked back tears, wanting so desperately to tell him how bad I was falling. He wouldn't know what to do. He'd probably think I was a big freak. Which I am, but I sure didn't want him to think it. "Yes, I'm positive." I lied, yet again. "Okay, sweetie." he said.
-- Kellin's POV--
"What's wrong sweetie?" I asked, seeing she was upset. "Nothing. I'm fine." she said, a bit too quick. "Are you sure?" I asked, knowing she was lying to me. She sat there for a second, looking at the ground. "Yes, I'm positive." she said, looking back down. "Okay, sweetie." I said, totally not believing her. I pulled out my phone.
Aus, come to the bus and tell Jezzy that you wanna take her to the movies for some bonding time. There's something wrong with her and I can't figure it out. But she'll talk to you about it... - Kell

Okay, Kell. Be there in ten. - Austin

*10 minutes later*
Austin came through the door, coming to sit next to Jezabelle.
-- Jezabelle's POV--
"Hey, Aus." I said, going over to him to give him a hug.
"Hey Jez. You wanna go to a movie? Just me and you. Some bonding time." he said. "Yeah, sure." I said, just wanting to get away from there. I went to my bunk and grabbed an Of Mice & Men shirt and my black Converse. I walked out to see Austin smiling and Kellin just looking at me. The look he gave me made my heart sink. It was the look that everyone gave me. The one that said "I can't deal with you. You're too much depression to handle. I can't believe a word you say." I became breathless at the thought. I froze in my place. Why did I even for a moment think he actually liked me? I was such an idiot! Wow. Now I was sitting here, Austin smiling at me, so lovingly and so caring. And my "boyfriend" just glaring at me. Ha. You see my idiocy?! "Come on, Jezbelle. Let's go." Austin said, linking arms with me, pulling me out and to his car.
"Why are you really taking me to the movies, Austin?" I asked once we were both in the car and driving away. "Kellin knows there is something wrong and since you wouldn't tell him, he texted me to come get you and figure it out." he sighed a deep sigh, his eyes never wandering from the road. "Really?! Woooow. Ha. I saw the way he glared at me! I knew he didn't really like me!" I said, on the verge of tears. "He likes you, love. He just.... can't really handle you.." Austin said, as guilt filled his voice. "Freaking really?!" I said, tears spilling over. "Yes... but love, don't worry about it. What else is wrong?" he asked calmly. "Everything!! I've gotten so much hate! I can't deal with it!" I shouted, starting to cry harder. "Sweetheart, calm down. It's okay." he said, reaching with one hand to wipe away the tears that were consuming my face. I sighed, trying to stop crying. My phone rang, blasting "Product Of A Murderer" by Of Mice & Men. "Nice ringtone." Austin smiled. I tried to laugh, and picked p m phone, not bothering to check who it was. "Jezabelle?" Kellin's voice me through the phone. I immediately put him on speaker. "What." I said, coldly. "Look.... I'm sorry... but I can't handle this... I can't handle coming back to you, and you lying to me that you're okay... That you won't tell me anything." he said, voice shaky. "Whatever Kellin! I'm so done! You can't handle me?! Then you're just freaking weak!!" I screamed at him. The phone was silent. "Kellin... you screwed up man... leave her stuff in my bus." Austin said to the phone. "Whatever Aus. I will. Goodbye, Jezabelle." he said. "Whatever." I said, hanging up the phone quickly. I started to cry again. Austin grabbed my hand. I didn't pull back from him. "I should just disappear. My mom was right." I said through my sobs. "No. She was dead wrong. Because Kell may have screwed up big time, but I care about you, Jezzy. The other guys care so much about you. So much. You don't even know. You're like a little sister to them. Alan is so protective of you. All of them are. Tino, Phil, me, Alan. Heck, even Aaron is protective of you. Pierce The Veil, they love you to death and back. Vic has the biggest crush in the world on you, you know that, right?" he said. "No... I didn't know that." I said, surprised. "Yeah, he does. When Kellin got you, he was furious." he said. "Well." I said, a bit stunned. "But anyway, lets go and watch this movie." he said, pulling up to the theatre. "But.. Is Vic the only one who likes me..?" I asked, curious now. "No.." Austin said quietly. "Who else, Aus??" I asked, hoping it was him. I had always liked Austin... But I also liked Vic."Doesn't matter.." he said, walking into the theatre. "Yes it does. Tell me." I said, grabbing his hand and pulling him back. "I like you too, Jez. But not as much as Vic... He loves you.." He said, turning back around and walking into the movies.
