Kellin and I were lying on our bed just relaxing, basking in the joy of being together again. I had sent a group message to the guys and they responded saying that they were going to be back any minute, which meant we should probably get dressed, but I was way too lazy. That and I finally had Kellin back in my arms so excuse me if I'm not super eager to let him go again just yet.

It wasn't long before I heard the front door open and close, signaling that the others were home. Time's up…

"Come on babe, we should get dressed." Kellin sighed as he sat up, shaking my shoulder slightly.

"Don't wanna." I wined and pulled him back, letting him fall against me. He chuckled and kissed me gently.

"Nope, come on." He got out of bed, after prying himself away from me, and went to find a pair of boxer briefs to put on. Footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs and I decided I really didn't want my friends walking in on me naked. Sighing again, I got up and began to get dressed as a knock sounded against my door.

"Vic?" Came Jaime's voice.

"We'll be right down." I called back to him as I slipped a shirt over my head. I smacked Kellin's ass lightly as we began to head downstairs. When we got there, Jaime, Tony, and my brother were all sitting in the living room, watching us. Awkwardly, we sat down on the couch.

"K… so I owe you guys an explanation." Kellin began.

"You might want to wait a few seconds." Tony interrupted. Right after he spoke, there was a knock at the door. Mike stood up and walked over, opening it to reveal four other people.

"Kellin!" Jesse practically screeched as he ran over and embraced him in a huge hug.

"Hey.." Kellin replied quietly. "Jess, I can't breathe."

"Sorry." Jesse let Kellin go as Jack, Gabe, and Justin joined us in the living room. Once everyone was settled, all eyes were on Kellin.

"Ok spill." Jesse pretty much demanded.

Kellin sighed before beginning his story again. He started with the first night and then continued about the cartel and his father. I had never seen a group of teenagers sit so quietly for so long. After a little while, Mike reached over and took Tony's hand in his, never breaking eye contact with Kellin. I could understand his uneasiness. At least Kellin wasn't crying again, it was hard enough to watch the first time…

"And that's what happened." Kellin was gauging everyone's responses.

"Damn." Justin breathed. "I can't believe that something so serious happened right under our noses."

"Yeah." Gabe agreed. "It's so crazy." I turned to look at Jesse. He had been quiet the entire time and now he was sitting with his head resting on his closed hands. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.

"I'm just glad that you're home and safe." Jaime was the one to break the tension. "Now I think we should go out and celebrate Kellin's safe return." There were nods of agreement throughout the whole group.

"Come on then, let's not wait for the grass to grow." Mike announced in a British accent. Leave it to him to bring up Harry Potter at a time like this. Everyone stood except Kellin, Jesse and I. Mike gave me a confused look.

"We'll meet you outside." I nodded my head towards Jesse and Mike nodded in understanding. Once the door was closed, I turned to look at Jesse and motioned to whether or not I should leave. He shook his head and turned to Kellin.

They didn't say anything and just kind of had a silent conversation with each other. I wasn't sure what I should do in this situation, but I could see that Jesse's eyes were beginning to water. This was a side of him that I have never seen before, but I couldn't blame him, they were best friends after all. I was beginning to feel a little bit like I was invading…

"Kellin, I can't even begin to express how happy I am right now." Jesse finally spoke. His voice was shaky and I was almost positive that he was going to cry. Kellin moved from his spot next to me and pulled Jesse into a hug.

"Jesse, I will never be able to say sorry enough. It was bad enough to put Vic through this, but you're my best friend and I can only imagine how hard this was for you…" Kellin's voice was quiet, but he wasn't as shaky as Jesse. Again, I got that awkward feeling and just sat there with my legs together, tapping my fingers against the side of my legs.

"Alright, we better go before they think something happened." Jesse wiped his eyes and pulled away from Kellin's grasp.

"Are you going to be okay?" I reached over and touched his shoulder.

"Yeah, I'll be fine as long as this ass stays where he's supposed to be." He motioned towards Kellin who kind of just sat there.

"I have no plans on going anywhere." He smiled and reached over, taking my hand in his and reaching for Jesse's with the other. With that, we strolled out of the house and joined the other's who were waiting patiently on the sidewalk.

"Ready to go?" Mike questioned.

"Yep." I grinned as we joined with them.

We headed in the direction of a nearby family restaurant. It was the only place where nine of us could sit together and not look like we were about to wreck the place. We spent a ton of money on a buffet type meal for all of us to share and spent the rest of the night just relaxing. Kellin told us stories about some of the people that he met while in Mexico. We were all interested in how his time was spent, but I knew that he was sparing us any details that might be cause for alarm.

I was really hoping that he would tell me honestly what had happened while he was gone. Unfortunately, forcing him to tell me was not on my list of things to do. I wouldn't even know how to start that conversation in the first place. So for now I'm just glad he's back and we can focus on the record and upcoming tour that Kellin and the guys were supposed to open for us on. We had a lot of work to do before they were going to be ready. Let the fun begin…

A/N: So I needed something to distract me from all of the BS that's been on tumblr today. For the record I HATE April fool's day. And it was on a Monday of all days...bleh. Anyway. I hope you guys enjoy to little broment with Kellin and Jesse =)
