CHRISTMAS EVE

It has been around a month since I lost my baby in Australia. The tour went on and we went to Japan. It was interesting and different but everyone was still stiff and out of place. Vic was trying his hardest to keep it all together but I could tell that he was finding it difficult. Jenna did come out for the Japan part of the tour and she made it more barable. Kellin and the rest of the You Me At Six boys came back on tour and were shocked to hear what had happened. Kellin especially as he was there when I found out I was pregnant. He was really upset actually but the show must go on.

We had been back in America for 5 days so far and me, Jeremy and Taylor were in our house in Cali. The PTV boys went to San Diego and everyone else went back to their respective homes for the holidays. Kat and Jeremy were happy to be reunited. Justin and Ilan both went back home too.

We were about to make the 2 hour journey to San Diego to go stay with the guys for Christmas. They invited us since we didn't feel like going home. "You ready to go?" I heard Taylor speak up. I looked up at him and nodded. I climed into the passenger seat and Taylor drove. Jeremy and Kat got the back seat. Taylor started the car and we began our journey.

"Hey, you excited to see Vic again?" Taylor asked me. I looked over to him and smiled.

"Yeah, I've missed him" I said with a fake smile. Truth is, I didn't. Not because I don't love him... things just got really cold between us while we were in Japan. He seemed distant and avoided being alone with me. Eventually we began to sleep in seperate bunks. We text each other briefly while we have been back in America but not much.

"Good, it'll be nice to see you happy again" He smiled and watched the road. I leaned my head against my arm on the window and closed my eyes. Slowly drifting off into a short sleep.

I felt the car finally stop and that was my indication that we were finally here. I opened my eyes a smiled sleepily to Taylor who was unbuckling his seatbelt. I did the same and opened the door, climbed out and shut it. The cold San Diego air engulfed me and I shivered slightly. I got my bag out of the trunk and so did everyone else. We began to walk up the driveway of this house that I'm guessing is theirs.

Jeremy rang the doorbell and after about 30 minutes the door opened and Jaime stood with a fake moustache. "Hello?" He said with a heavy Spanish accent.

"Hey, um does Pierce The Veil stay here?" I asked. He looked at me and shook his head.

"No, no Mr Pierce The Veils no here" I rolled my eyes at him and pulled him in for a hug.

"I've missed you Jaime" I whispered. He pulled back and let me into the house, he high fived Jeremy and Taylor and hugged Kat. He closed the door and led us down the hallway and into the living room where Tony and Mike both sat on the couch half fallen asleep.

"Guys!" Jaime clapped his hands really loud. They both jumped up and looked around sleepily until they realised it was us. They got up and gave us hugs.

"How's it hanging Hayles?" Mike asked while hugging me tightly.

"Getting better" I smiled into his hug. "Where's Vic?" I asked curiously. He pulled back and gave me a lopsided smile.

"He isn't here right now. He went to our parents for the day" Mike said sadly. Anger rose up inside me.

"Seriously? He knew we were coming today!" I said shaking my head. Why the hell is he being like this? Like really. Is this how it's going to be? If so then I wish I never came.

"He'll be here soon. Don't worry" Mike reassured me. I just shrugged and moved onto Tony.

"Hey Tone Tone" I smiled as he pulled me in for a hug.

"How you feeling?" He asked into my hair. I looked up at him and smiled.

"Better, just gonna take its time" I said fairly. He nodded and hugged me again.

"So let's get you guys settled in and then we can play games and catch up from like a week ago" Jaime said excited.

They showed us our rooms and obviously I was staying in Vics. I put my stuff in his room and decided to look around. His walls were filled with pictures. From the start of the band until now mostly. They were adorable, young Pierce The Veil is something that I always loved looking at. Old band practices and shows. Then it got to Warped Tour pictures and there were a few with me in it. Me and Vic looking happy mostly. A few from Raging Waters and Six Flags. There was one picture of when everyone came onstage and Vic sung Misery Business. I ran my hands over the pictures and smiled at the fact that he hand them.

I walked over Vics bed and sat down. I laid my head on his pillow and inhaled in his scent. It gave me a sense of security as if he was there hugging me. I loved that feeling, I guess I didn't miss him not being there until I realised he should be here. I eventually decided moping about the fact he wasn't here right now was silly and went downstairs in time for dinner.

Jaime cooked us all dinner and we had a lovely pre-Christmas meal. We talked and told stories and exchanged Christmas tales. It was like the most perfect little family but someone was missing.

"So this is the first Christmas we will all be together" Taylor said raising his glass. "To the first of many" He grinned and we all cheered together.

"I hope you guys plan on getting up early because I wanted to open my presents early" Jaime said sounding like a kid.

"I think we all do" Tony grinned from ear to ear.

After dinner we sat around the TV watching Christmas movies and being cute like a family. It grew later and later into the night and everyone decided they wanted to go to bed. I on the other hand was still wondering where Vic was. He still hadn't turned up, Mike told me not to worry and just go to bed. So that's what I did. Went to bed.

I laid in Vics bed and tried to sleep but it wasn't coming to me. I tossed and turned until I heard the front door open downstairs. I sat up slightly in bed and frowned at the stumbling around that came from downstairs. Then there was nothing. Silence. I shook it off and decided it must have been one of the guys just locking the door or something. Then fell fast asleep.
