I'm Afraid That I've Thrown It All Away

Chapter Twelve


It was the morning after the bands day off which meant that Noelle will be going home tomorrow.

Noelle woke up wrapped in Jaime’s arms, she loved being there, and it was the most comfortable place in the world. She really needed to pee though so she tried to wriggle out of his grip without waking him. She didn’t do a good job because he started to stir.

“Where are you going, don’t leave me” He said in his sexy morning voice, it was a huge turn on for Noelle so she leaned in and kissed him passionately.

“I need to pee, let me go or I’ll pee on you” She giggled a little and Jaime let her go
“Hurry back” He whisper shouted. They were always the first two up so had learned what volume to speak at without waking the rest of the band up.

Noelle went into the bathroom, did her business, wiped her hands and returned to the bunk area. As she did so, Tony jumped down from his bunk and walked towards the bathroom. Noelle stepped to the right so Tony could pass but he stepped the same way she did. She then stepped to the left, Tony did the same. This happened once more before Noelle grabbed Tony’s arms and moved herself around so that they were now on the side they wanted to be.

“Uh, sorry” He said as she got back in to bed with Jaime.

“I hate when that happens, I always feel like I’m in a comedy sketch” Jaime said with a slight giggle.

“Same” Noelle let out a giggle too; hers was much more awkward though. Flashbacks from last night flooded her mind and she tried to shake them away but it was no use. They were there for good. She still has no idea why she kissed Tony back. She keeps telling herself it was because she was drunk but she wasn’t fooling herself.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Jaime asked, noticing the discomfort on his girlfriend’s face.

“Oh nothing, just a slight hang-over” Noelle assured, Jaime smiled softly and kissed her on the lips before climbing over her and hopping out of the bunk

“Come on, I’ll make us some breakfast” He held out his hand and Noelle took it, joining him in the short walk to the front lounge.

The boys had a waffle iron on their bus which happened to get used most days. Jaime made the best waffles and they could cure anything, hang-overs, general bad days, hunger, boredom, anything.

“Here you go” He said as he handed Noelle a plate with four waffles before making his own batch.

“Thank you sweetie” She said through a mouthful of waffle. “These are amazing, like always” She complimented as he sat opposite her at the table.

“Why are you two always up so early?” Vic asked as he made himself a cup of coffee.
“Just morning people I guess” Noelle replied. She was still wearing nothing but underwear and one of Jaime’s shirts but she never minded; no one did really. She was one of the gang and she was comfortable with her body - after many years of hating it – so sitting in nothing but a t-shirt was no problem. Well it hadn’t been until Tony walked in, in just his boxers. Noelle couldn’t help but stare a little, luckily nobody noticed.

“I’m gonna go for a shower, maybe I’ll feel better afterwards” She kissed Jaime on the cheek and went to shower. She didn’t have a hang-over; she just needed to cool herself down. Her thoughts were still running wild and after feeling the way she did when she saw Tony just then confirmed that the kiss wasn’t because she was drunk. She wasn’t affected by him much when he tried to pass her to get to the bathroom earlier because she was still asleep, pretty much but after coffee and waffles, she was definitely affected.

When Noelle emerged from the bathroom, freshly washed and dressed she went to the back lounge and joined Mike who was about to play a round of FIFA.

“Why bother, you know I’m going to beat yo’ ass” Mike joked

“Oh please, how many times have you actually won against me Michael?” Mike huffed
knowing that the amount of times he has lost against Noelle was embarrassing.

“Well one day I will beat you, an embarrassing loss for you and you will never be able to recover from it” He sounded like a little boy who thinks his Pokemon card collection is better than Noelle’s

“Challenge accepted” They started their game and within the first 9 minutes Noelle was 3 goals up. “I wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to quit now” She joked as she lit up a joint.
“I don’t quite little miss. I am a man and I will, if I lose, take the loss as a man” He said as he took the joint from her hands

“Very well then” They both started laughing and continued their game.

Vic and Jaime joined them in the back lounge about ten minutes later.

“You two are getting high already? It’s like 11am” Jaime said

“Join us” They said in unison “Hmm, okay” Jaime decided. He has smoked weed a few times in the past but he wasn’t a regular smoker of the wacky backy like these two were.

Mike and Noelle high fived each other as Jaime took a drag and offered it to Vic who just stood up and walked back to the front.

“Party pooper” Noelle called out to him.


Noelle and Jaime were sat in the middle of the venue, where the audience would be, and were eating their lunch. Noelle was contemplating telling Jaime about the kiss now but she also didn’t want to cause a load of drama for the rest of the tour, especially since she was going home tomorrow and wouldn’t see the boys for 3 more weeks. She finally stopped fighting with herself and decided she would tell Jaime when he gets home. He’ll probably be mad at her for keeping it a secret for so long but hopefully he’ll understand why. Also in that time she can try and work out what is going on in her mind when it comes to Tony.
They finished up their lunch and went to the back of the venue to hang out with the rest of the guys. The tension between Noelle and Tony was super obvious but everyone passed it off as normal, since it had been like this for a long time. They knew it was a new level of tension though. Noelle started to think there was a hint of sexual tension but that thought soon left her mind when Jaime kissed her neck. She smiled and pulled his face up to kiss him on the lips.

Later that night the show went off without a hitch, it was probably their best show of the tour so far. Noelle was currently manning the merch table and had many fans scrambling around her. Some of them even asked for pictures with her, since they knew she was with Jaime. Some of them gave her bitchy comments because of that same reason. She was also asked if the boys would be coming out to meet the fans and she told them they would. Noelle loved watching the fans, she loved meeting them and she loved seeing the effect the boys had on them. It’s amazing what music can do, how it heals people or even just lets them escape for a moment or two. That’s why she started playing music. Well at 7, it wasn’t the reason for picking up her first pair of drum sticks but as she got older it was definitely the reason it became so important to her. She would never sing again but she was definitely never going to stop playing drums again, she felt like an idiot for doing so in the first place. When she picked up her sticks after the fight with Tony she felt at home. Drumming was always her number one passion and she was never going to part from it again. She will never pursue it as a career though, designing is most definitely her career and she’s going to keep it like that.


When everyone was back on the bus, they dug into pizza. Someone was nice enough to go out and get some. Noelle logged onto her tumblr, she had one for her work, since social networking is such a big thing at the moment she thought it would be a great way to publicise her clothing line. She wanted to tell her followers that SIGNS had a big announcement in two days; the announcement was only going to be about a new line dropping but it was still big considering that’s her work. When she logged on she noticed that her inbox was full of messages. She opened them thinking they would all be about the clothes. Some were but a lot of them were to do with her and Pierce the Veil. One stood out in particular though, it was an anonymous message but it read as follows:

I know that Noelle runs this blog and that this is about as close as I can get to asking this but I was told by a reliable source that you went out with Tony Perry years ago. Like long before you met Jaime. You see my sister went to school with you and when she saw a picture of you and Jaime that I was looking at she told me that she was in your Math class and that you dated Tony for years. Is it true? I really can’t believe you would date your ex’s best friend. I don’t know, it’s kind of slutty. Sorrynotsorry.

“Are you for real?” Noelle said allowed. She looked up from her iPad and looked majorly pissed off. Of all the things that the fans could find out, this was the last one she wanted them to know.

“What’s up?” Jaime asked.

“Look at this” She passed him her iPad and he read the message that was on the screen. “If I don’t answer it then they’ll know it’s true and if I do, I’ll probably get so much shit for it.” She huffed.

“What’s the matter?” Mike joined in the conversation

“Some fan knows about my past with Tony, apparently her sister was in my Math class and some shit. Oh and she thinks I’m a slut” Noelle got up and walked to her and Jaime’s bunk. She didn’t want to face this. She just led there staring at the bottom of the bunk above her when she heard Mike coming towards her.

“Hey No-No, just ignore comments like that. I know you’ve had some like that before but none of them involving your past but if you just ignore them it should go away” Noelle was really grateful for her and Mike’s friendship, he was like a big brother she never had.

“No it won’t, if I don’t answer it then they’ll work out it’s true but if I do then I’ll get loads of questions from it. I just never wanted them to find out because I knew it would be like this. I can handle being called a slut or being told Jaime’s too good for me from the little fangirls but when they bring my personal life into, my past. How am I supposed to deal with that?”

Noelle was getting agitated and Mike pulled her into a hug, he knew that the hassle wouldn’t die down but he was hoping that she would believe him, this girl was no fool. They went back to the front and carried on eating pizza. Jaime kissed Noelle to tell her everything would be fine. She took her iPad back and decided that she would answer the anon question. Her reply read as follows:

Okay, so first of all my past relationships have nothing to do with anybody but the people involved in them. I know answering this is going to cause a shit storm with some of the fans but to be honest, I don’t care. Yes I did date Tony and we were together for a long time but we broke up many, many years ago. I had even moved to another city. When I returned to San Diego I wasn’t even talking to Tony anymore. But a few months ago I started dating Jaime and I love him, he is my everything; I didn’t know at the time that Tony was his best friend. I didn’t even know they were in a band together. When I finally met the band it was as much a shock for me as it was everyone else. Jaime and I are still perfectly happy and my past is no problem. So before you call me a slut, think. Also, I am not going to be answering any more questions about any of my relationships, especially since this is my work account. So please respect that and we won’t have a problem.
Thank you – Noelle.

“Let’s hope that shuts them up” Noelle said as she put her iPad away and took a gulp of beer.

She posted her answer and was happy with the way she worded it. If anyone asks her questions after this she will just ignore them. She didn’t need the extra hassle in her life. She did however need some advice from the thoughts that were consuming her mind and eating away at her so as soon as she sees Tommy tomorrow; they are going to have a best friend advice session. Tommy always gave the best advice.

Later that night Noelle was online again, she had nothing to do and always ended up either designing things or surfing the web. She decided that she would search herself on tumblr. She hadn’t been scrolling through long when she knew it was a bad idea. There were many posts about how she was a whore for having been with Tony and now being with Jaime.
There were many nice comments though about how she and Jaime were cute together or how people thought that she and Mike had a cool friendship. She came across one blog and noticed that there had been a lot of messages sent in and answered talking about this whole ordeal.

Some of the messages and responses were just plain rude and had no truth in them, for example:

Message:I bet she’s probably fucking them both. I never liked her and I knew there was something about her from the minute I saw that she and Jaime were together.
Answer: I don’t she’s sleeping with them both but I definitely had a feeling there was something ‘off’ about her.

Message: I know for a fact that Tony was the one that cheated on her, my cousin was at the party when it happened. It was Noelle’s birthday and he was there because he was friends with her and Tony but Tony slept with some random chick at his girlfriend birthday party. I love Tony but if anyone should be getting hate, it’s him. Leave Noelle alone, she hasn’t done anything wrong.
Answer: omg, if this is true then Tony is a dick for doing that, at her birthday party too? Ooh. But to be fair, your cousin could be lying. I still don’t trust her. I mean, how could she not know that Tony was in the same band as Jaime?

Message: I actually like Noelle. I have no say on this Tony and Her, Her and Jaime situation and neither should any of you, it’s not our business, just like she said on her tumblr. I think you all need to leave it alone.
Answer: She said herself, in that same post that she knew it would cause drama. I’m just answering these messages.

She was tempted to send them a message putting facts straight but she didn’t want to act like a brat so she just logged out. She was amazed by how many people stood up for her and by how many people had something against her. She was also shocked that people she used to be friends with were commenting on the situation to their cousins/sisters etc. She could only wonder who the people that were at the party and in her Math class were.
She had had enough for one night so got a bottle of water from the fridge and headed to bed. As she got in and snuggled up to Jaime, he moved his body so they fit into each other like two pieces of a puzzle. “I love you” He mumbled into her neck. “I love you more” She replied. Noelle kissed Jaime on the nose and let the power of sleep overcome her.

Notes

I thought I would update again since I had it right there.

What do you guys think about the tension between Noelle and Tony?
What about how the fans now know about their past? Do you think this will cause more drama?

Let me know guys <3
