**JAIME’S POV**

“Hey faggots,” Mike hollered, jumping on our bed. I groaned, trying to kick him off. I heard him bend down and lightly slap Vic around a bit, who was still sound asleep. I slapped Mike back.
“What?” I moaned, closing my eyes again, feeling Vic’s head leave my shoulder. I looked over at a groggy Vic, rubbing his eyes.
“What Mike?”
“Kellin is outside. I don’t know what he wants, but I knew I shouldn’t let him in with you two cuddling. He’s already upset enough about something,” he informed us, making his way back to the couch to play games.
Kellin and I gave each other a look. “Better get that,” he said with his adorable morning voice. He left a fast, small kiss on my cheek before getting up, still in his clothes from yesterday, to see Kellin. I smiled to myself at his gesture, but I couldn’t help but hurry to the window once he shut the door. I saw Kellin’s face was red and he was wiping tears away. Once Vic shuffled slowly down the van’s stairs, Kellin desperately wrapped his arms around Vic, kissing his face all over.
What is this feeling? Surely it isn’t jealousy, because Vic wasn’t even mine. But still, knowing he feels back for me, I can’t help but be territorial. I felt my heart race and sweat starting to form as cool air made my face cold.
I was relieved from the pain when Vic pushed Kellin back, keeping his distance. They were exchanging words that I couldn’t make out. Kellin was obviously throwing a fit, practically flailing his arms at the boy, trying to make a point. Vic just stood there with his arms crossed, half listening. I saw him shake his head and face the bus before seeing Kellin fall to his knees, crying in his hands. I wonder what was going on.
I swiftly jumped from the window couch to the bed we had shared and pretended to go back to sleep. When I heard the bus door open and shut again, I pretended it woke me up. I looked at Vic’s face to see disappointment.
“What’s wrong?” I asked, my voice scratchy from waking up. He sauntered toward me and sat on the bed next to me, never meeting my eyes. “Kellin wants me back.” His face was full of despair and confusion.
Oh. That sucks. What does that mean for me? Am I now out of the picture? Why am I feeling so…used? I couldn’t take the pain. My stomach was flipping an absolute bitch. We weren’t even together and I was beginning to hurt. Maybe being with Vic isn’t a good idea after all.
I couldn’t get myself to look at him because I knew he probably gave in to Kellin’s fit. Kellin had that persuasive vibe on people in order to get what he wants. My depressing thoughts were interrupted when Vic took my face into his hands. I was forced to look into his chocolate eyes. I glanced back at Mike who was just smiling, and looked away when he noticed he was staring. I thought he’d be grossed out. I guess he knows what’s up. I felt my face turn a deep shade of pink as I looked from Mike to his older brother. His look was sympathetic, but serious.
“I said no.” he muttered. He did? Why? Didn’t he love Kellin? Endless chains of questions ran through my head, but I couldn’t say anything. His hands swiftly moved from my face to around my neck as he held me tight. What is even going on?
I pushed him away softly. “Why did you say no? I know you said you two weren’t getting along, but don’t you still love him? How come-“
“Because I’m starting to like someone else.” He whispered.
“Who??” I retorted with attitude, leaning back away from him.
“You, dumbass.” He replied defensively. He leaned back himself. Duhh, me. …Wait, me? Why me? Oh well. I decided not to think too hard, and I smiled and bit my lip slightly intrigued. I leaned toward him. Standing on my knees, I grabbed his hips up and pressed mine into his while wrapping my arms around his small waist and rested my head on his shoulder. I felt his hands linger on the back of my neck as he rested his head against mine.
As we pulled apart, I was pulled back in again when his lips left met mine. The kiss was slow but full of passion. His tongue slipped into my mouth. Letting our tongues wrestle, I moaned low into the kiss.
What am I doing? I can’t just give myself to him. I’ve wanted Vic for so many years, but I want to be just his next target. He should prove himself; make it known to me that he genuinely wants to be with me, and not just because he is heart broken or lonely.
It took all I had, but I broke the kiss, leaving the boy with a frown and a small growth in his shorts.
“Is something wrong?” he sounded apologetic and frustrated. I could just smile. His eyes were caring and loving. I left a small kiss on his cheek.
“If we’re gonna try whatever this is, I wanna take it slow.” I blushed madly. I sounded like a teenage girl giving away her virginity. But my argument still stood. I laid back down, bringing my legs up to my chest, waiting for a response. He just giggled. He nodded as he got up and started toward the mini fridge. He grinned back at me, and started engaging in what Mike was doing, looking away.

“Morning guys,” Tony came through the door. I looked up from my Gameboy. “Its noon,” I frowned, throwing a pillow at him. He caught it and threw it back with a smirk.
“Where were you?” Vic bothered to ask, since Mike was so hypnotized by his Xbox.
“I was with Michele. She said we have a photo shoot with Sleeping with Sirens right now. Get pretty, boys,” he chuckled. Tony always looked perfect. And he knew it. So he rested on couch and put his feet up, watching bed head Vic and Mike frantically throwing clothes everywhere and weaving in and out of the bathroom. My hair was still stiff and standing from yesterday, since my head was on Vic’s shoulder, not on a pillow. So I changed into a key street shirt and dark demin jeans. As I turned to throw my yesterday clothes in the dirty pile, I couldn’t help but notice Vic was shirtless. That was always a treat. I looked my potential man up and down before continuing with my hygienic chores.
When we were all finished, we followed Tony off of the van. We walked a block through the busy city. Vic grabbed my hand into his and gave me soft smile. I grinned back and laced my fingers with him. He finally arrived to a very tall building. In front of it was Kellin, and the rest of his crew.
Right when we caught his attention, Vic immediately dropped my hand. Come on. Now he’s ashamed of me? As the bands were greeting each other, I just shot Vic a frown of disapproval and in return he mouthed ‘I’m sorry’. Though his face was apologetic, I didn’t care. That wasn’t fair to me.
I went straight into the building to find a busy Michele.
“Where is the rest of the boys? Hurry, we’re late!” she pushed me toward a staircase. I saw the whole swarm of boys enter the lobby. I just looked away.
Throughout the whole ‘shoot, I ignored Vic. I couldn’t help but glance at him to see him talking to Tony or Kellin. Well, it was more like Kellin chasing Vic. This had to stop. I calmly approached the Mexican and grabbed his arm.
“Vic, will you go to the bathroom with me? I don’t wanna go alone,” my dirty gaze never left Kellin’s. He gave me a confused face.
“Uhh, sure. Sorry Kellin,” Vic called out as I dragged him away. “Hey, thanks. Kellin wouldn’t leave me alone.” I didn’t say anything. I just continued angrily dragging him to the bathroom.
I pulled him in and just snapped. “Vic, why are you hiding us from Kellin? Are you ashamed of me? Why won’t you-“ I was so rudely interrupted by the boy’s lips forcefully pressed against mine. I kissed back; I couldn’t help it. His touch made me weak. As the kiss deepened, he cupped my face in his hands. After releasing, he gave me a weak grin.
“I’m not ashamed,” he replied. “I just don’t want Kellin to know yet, is all. He’d be furious, and I don’t need the drama. Jaime, why would I be ashamed? You’re handsome, funny, loving,” he smiled, looking in my eyes. “And most of all, you’re famous.” He giggled and I laughed back. That’s why. That’s why I love this man.
I chuckled as I grabbed his small waist and pulled him in for a kiss. He kissed back wrapping his arms around my neck. I pushed him back until we hit the wall because honestly, I needed the support. He made me so light headed.
As our tongue massaged each other’s, the bathroom door had swung open. We abruptedly stop to see who had intruded.
“I can’t believe it.” There stood a shocked Kellin.
