*Emilys POV*
I awoke to the sound of feet on the padded carpet of the bus, I reached my hand to the curtain but stopped to admire the promise ring that had returned to its place on my hand. I'd forgotten how beautiful it, Tony really knew who to pick out beautiful jewelry. I rolled out of the bunk to be met by someones feet, I followed the legs, up to the torso and to the face of the owner of the feet. ' Having fun down there Honey Bee?' Tony smiled down at me.
'Oh my god, you still remember my nick name?'
'Of course! Why would I forget?'
'You seemed to forget me...'
'I didn't forget you'
'Then what happened?' I was starting to get annoyed now, he couldnt just come back into my life after 5 years of ignoring me.
'It's a long story, we havent got time right now'
'Fair enough, does Rebecca now where I am, holy shit, she must think I'm dead!' Tony began to laugh ' What?'
'Your accent always got stronger when you panicked, I see you never lost it'
'What? No it doesnt! It only get stronger when Im drunk'
'Yeah, it get stronger then as well, I've always loved you accent'
'And I've always loved yours'
'Need a hand up?' I grabbed onto his hand, he looked down at my fingers and notice the ring ' I see you want it back?'
' I shouldnt have given it back in the first place' What did I just say, aw god, I cannot like Tony again, Im meant to hate him for what he did. Who am I kidding, I never stopped loving him.
*Tonys POV*
'I shouldnt have given it back in the first place' What does she mean by that? I decided to let it slip and continue to help her up, she has changed a lot in 5 year, she dyed her hair fire truck red, has gotten a hell of a lot of tattoos and has many more piercings, he gauges are also about the same size as mine, I remember all the times I helped her put new stretchers in and I couldnt help but laugh ' What so funny' She asked with a quizzical face.
'Nothing, I'm just thinking about the time I help you put you stretcher in and your sister thought we where having sex' I began to laugh harder.
'Oh god no, I've never lived that down, she still bullys me about that now'
'CAN WE NOT TALK ABOUT YOU TO HAVING SEX FIRST THING IN THE MORNING?' Jaime called from the front lounge of the bus, we both began to laugh hysterically. We walked into the front lounge earning a glare from Jaime ' Dude, we weren't talking about sex, stop with the death glares please'
'I heard the word sex, theres not much else you could be talking about'
'We where talking about the times we used to have hot, passionate, sweaty sex, Tony was just telling me how it was the best he's ever had' Jaime looked between me and Emily with a look of disgust on his face. Emily was laughing uncontrollably. ' Chill Himes, I was joking hun'
'I also see you havent lost your sense of humor'
'It's probably the only good thing about me' She still hates herself, and I hated that.
'So, hows the past few years been for you then, cherry?'
'Good lord, Jaime you cannot call me cherry anymore, my hair is no longer cherry red and they've been pretty shit, when you guys left and I went back to high school, I became depressed again and slipped back into self harm, I went to collage and trained to be a tattooist' At least she achieve her dream ' 2 years ago my dad had a dietetic hypo attack and died, leaving my family devastated and about 6 months ago Olivia took her own life, she'd been pretty depressed since my dad died and she couldnt take it anymore I guess' Tear started to brim her beautiful multi colored eyes, I couldnt stand to see her this way ' It would seem like you where a good luck charm for me Tony, as soon as you left, my life went down hill'
'I am so sorry for your loses, I cant imagine how you feel right now' She began to cry, on instinct, I stood up and hugged her, she buried her face into my neck and cried, just like she did last night. 'Its alright, life moves on, they may be gone but the memories arnt, thats the way I see it'
'You're so strong you know that?' Jaime stood up and hugged her, just at this moment, Vic and Mike walked onto the bus. ' Oh chica I thought you liked Ton.... why are you crying?' Vic asked, worry in his eyes
'I'll tell you guys later, Im fine, now need to worry'
'Ok, dont forget to tell me! Who wants to come to catering?' Mike asked, leaving the bus with Vic and Jaime, leaving me and Emily alone.
'Im sorry I left you go through all that on your own'
'I still have my mum and Bec and her family, speaking of my mum, do you want to go see her? I'm sure she'd love to see you again, she still asks me about you even though I never had anything to tell her'
'I'd love to, your mum is the nicest person ever, I've missed her to be honest' We left the bus and began to walk in silence, the venue was around the corner of where she lived in her teen years, apparently her mother never left. The outside of the house was just how I remembered it to be, a pale blue color surrounded by a well kept garden. 'Come on!' She grabbed my hand and ran around the back of the house ' Mammy! I have someone I think you'd like to see'!
'Emily, if its Rebecca, I tell you now, I will..... Tony?!' Mrs.Baker...Donna hadn't changed a bit, she was still short, blond and had a very strong welsh accent. ' I havent seen you in years my dear! How have you been!'
'I know! Its been a long time, I've been great, even better now I've seen you and Emily, the band Im in is pretty big now so I spend most of my time tours, in fact I was in Wales at the begging of the year, it is as cold as you described but it is beautiful'
'Aw thats great to hear, see, I never lie when it come to talking about Wales! Would you like to stay for a little while?'
'I'd love to' we walked into the house, it hasnt changed much either, it was quieter than I remember, the walls had been painted a chocolate brown color and the arrangement of the living room had changed.' So Tony, how come your back in San Diego?'
'It's one of the tour dates, Its out first show of the tour actually' I pulled my phone out of my pocket and text Vic, since we didnt have a merch person for this tour and it was our first date, it would be the perfect time to ask if Emily could do it for us.
After staying at the Baker household for another hour , it was time to leave. 'Thank you so much for the food, Donna, I'll see you again soon'
'Youre welcome Honey Bunch!' Donna stood waving us away on the door step. We continued to walk to the venue, since Vic agreed to Emily being our merch girl, now would be the best time to ask. ' Hey Em, can I ask you something?'
'Sure, anything turtle'
'I know we only just reunited last night and all but we dont have a merch person and its our first tour date so how would you feel about being out merch girl for the rest of the tour' She stopped dead in her tracks, her face looked unsure. After standing still for maybe a minute or 2, she spoke up ' You know what, I'd love too, It'll be like that time we planned to run away, remember?'
'You can run away with me, anytime you want' I quoted her favourite band, My Chemical Romance.
'You never forgot a lot about me did you?'
'Thats because I didnt forget you' I never forgot her, how could you forget someone you gave your heart to?
