Vic's P.O.V.

It's been about a week since Anna and I became engaged, my mother was already calling, starting to plan. "Victor! As soon as you all get home, the girls are going shopping for a wedding dress and Christmas presents! Ahhh! I'm so happy, I thought you would never get married and it's finally happening. And it's not one of those whores you used to bring home! So... when will I have grand children?"

"MOM! She's 19, give her some time!"

"And you're 30! You don't have much time left!" She nagged at me. I talked with her for a while longer before I finally got to speak with my dad. "Hola pops!" I said as soon as he got on the line. "Hola!" We began talking about a lot of things, like the tour, but mainly Anna. "So she's the one huh?" he said to me. "Yep, I have no doubt in my mind, in my heart, in anything. She's my sole purpose for living right now!" I could hear him laugh a little through the phone. "I'm glad son, to see you like this, when you were younger there were so many times I thought I'd lose you..." He started crying. "...Those marks on your arms, the hell you went through, and now you're here. In love, happy, getting married. I look back on those times and feel sadness, but I look to the future and all I can see is happiness!" I, by now was crying, my father reminding me of the past, the cutting, how much I hated myself.

I didn't want anyone seeing me so I went to my bunk. I finished my conversation with my dad and laid in bed. I looked out the window to the crew hanging around outside, I saw Lizzie but Anna wasn't anywhere around. "Hey bro we're all headed to six flags you in?" My bother called from the kitchen. "Uh nah, I'm gonna hang here." I said to him. "Suit yourself, we're out." He walked out slamming the door behind him. I sat up to go looking for her, but instead she found me. "Vic is everything okay?" She asked me grabbing my cheek. "Yea! Why would something be wrong?"

"Your eyes are red." She sat next to me on the bunk. We were now engaged, we should know each other's baggage. I already knew hers, so I showed her mine. I pulled up my sleeves and showed her the faded scars. Most had gone away, but there were still many visible. She looked down at my arm and back to my eyes. She sent a small smile at me and pulled up the sleeve of her shirt. "Life sucked. I know, trust me." I looked at her arm, she had some too. "Mine haven't had as much time to go away as your have." She lifted my arm and kissed my wrist. "I figure, no one's kissed them for you." She said laying my arm back down. I cried, it wasn't hysterical, more like silent, I might have lost my man card but I cried. This was the woman I was marrying might as well show her every side of me. I laid with her on our bunk and wasted the day away just laying in bed.

"Anna..." I said to her.

"Huh?" She turned over on her stomach so she could looked at me. "Everyone's gone. And the last time we-" She stuck a finger on my lip. "Say no more." She hopped out of bed and went into the living room area. She poked her head out the door and then shut it, locking it from the inside. She walked towards me, removing her shirt as she walked. Aw Fuck!
Before we knew it I had her in my arms. She wrapped herself around me in ways I didn't know possible. She left so many scratches on my back that day, I made sure I left a few marks of my own on her, where they weren't visible to anyone else. Afterwards she took my hand and led me towards the bathroom. "I thought the shower was your privacy time?"

"There's no privacy in a marriage!" She yanked my hair and pulled me in with her. I picked her up, she wrapped her little legs around my stomach and ran her nails up and down my back while the water ran over our bodies. She was giving me chills in the hot water.

Mike's P.O.V.

"They are so fucking right now!" Casey screamed through the park, earning weary glances from moms with kids. "Keep it down a little, geez Case we're in public." I said laughing at him. He continued on, "We couldn't have set this day up any better. We left Tony and Lizzie tickets to a hotel down the street, Jaime and Colbie took the day to go to the beach, and we left the engaged couple to have as much fun all over the bus as possible! I'm so proud of ourselves."

"And now we're loners in an amusement park." I said to him.

"Well geez I know we're not that good of friends Mike but still!" Kellin walked up behind me. "Oh sorry dude, ha, I think it's just that I miss my girl, she hasn't talked to me in a week."
"I'm sure she's just busy, it's not like Harm to ignore you though." Casey said making me feel even worse. I looked around trying to find something to up my spirit. We hopped on a few more rides until the park closed at night. As we walked out to the parking lot there was somebody leaning on SWS's bus. "Hello?" Kellin yelled.

She stepped into the beam of the street light above her head. Her red curls bounced up and down until they were right in front of me. "A little birdie told me you'd be here." She said jumping into my arms. "Harmony!" I yelled. "What the hell are you doing here? Don't you have the shoot?"

"We finished early and I thought I'd surprise you." She smiled at me. I turned around to the guys and waved goodbye, I climbed in her car and we drove off to anywhere but here.

Anna's P.O.V.

That was probably the most refreshing shower I've ever taken. I sat in the back with nothing but a t-shirt, bra, and panties. He was cooking something in the kitchen and I could smell it all the way from the back. I decided to go check it out. "Hey babe, whatcha makin?" I asked him. "My momma's famous enchiladas, and sauce, well I'm attempting to." he was focusing hard on the task at hand. His phone started ringing in his back pocket. "Can you get that I'm a little busy." I pulled it out of his pocket, making sure to give him a little pinch and I sat on the couch. He smiled at me and stuck his tongue out at me, I rolled my eyes and answered the phone.

"Hello? ... Hey Casey what's up?"

"Hey Anna... uh ... anyway, we're stopping at a bar, Harmony surprised Mike and they took off for somewhere. We probably aren't coming back to the bus tonight, we're crashing with SWS. I'll call you guys when we're on our way in the morning. See ya!"

With that he hung up the phone, I told Vic and he and I had the bus to ourselves for the rest of the night. He sat a plate in front of me and we dug in. "Vic this is amazing! I refuse to be the woman in this relationship if you can cook like this!" I yelled at him. He laughed at me and we cracked open a bottle of wine. Before we knew it we had downed the whole thing in about an hour.

"So where do you wanna have the wedding?" he asked me.

"San Diego! Definitely! What about the honey moon?" I got excited thinking about it. "I've already got that figured out, don't you worry about that one." He smiled at me.

"Tell me!" I said to him.

"Nope it's a secret!" He said to me, and so I wouldn't keep asking he started tickling me all over. "Vic quit it!" I was laughing hysterically.

"No way I'm having too much fun!" He kept poking my sides and he found my tickle spot. Right above my hip bone. "Tell me you want me to stop."

"I want you to stop!" I screamed laughing.

"Alright now say: Please stop baby, it hurts!"

"You perverted Asshole!" I was dying of laughter by now. He hit me right in the spot again. "AH!" I yelled laughing. By now we had made it to the floor. He held my arms over my head and he straddled me, not letting up. "ALRIGHT GEEZ Please stop baby, it hurts! Now leave me alone! Asshole!" He stopped ticking me but kept my hands above my head. "Let me go!" I yelled squirming under him. "Nope my turn!" I remembered what he was talking about. It was the last day we saw that bitch Molly, but the roles were reversed back then, I was on top of him.

"What are you planning?" I asked him. He smirked lifting my shirt, he brushed his hand lightly over my exposed skin until he came to my bra. He pushed his arm under my back lifting me into a kiss. He played with the hook of my bra and finally let my hands free. When I dropped them around his neck he lifted my shirt off completely, so that I just sat there in under garments. "Really we already did this today." I said while he kissed up and down my neck. I took his hat off his head, placing it on my own and unbuttoning the shirt he had on. "Anna, Do you want kids?" I stopped everything I was doing and froze in place. He realized what he had said, and corrected himself. "I mean in the future!" I sighed in relief. "Holy shit Vic! I thought you meant right now!" I laid my forehead on his chest and took a deep breath.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you, it was just a thought." He turned his head away from me, trying to keep from blushing. "I don't know Vic, I mean I'd love to have a little one running around, but a life on the road isn't really a life for kids." I tried to explain to him and myself. "I understand, but think about a mini you, brown curls running around on a stage."

"And running right into your arms?" I said imagining it. "Singing into the mic along to a song you write about her." I leaned in his arms.

"What's her name gonna be?" He asked me, closing his eyes. "Chloe." I said thinking "I like it, which one of us does she look like?"

"Both, she's got your eyes, and smile." I said to him, thinking about her, how beautiful she
would be with his eyes.

"And she's got your curls, and your beauty." He said. I looked at him. "Yea I think I want kids, just not right now.

He hugged me and kissed the top of my head. We stood up and I slipped back into his t-shirt I had on. He swung his arms around my hips from behind, we just stood there, the thoughts of our future together still fresh in our minds. I leaned the back of my head into his shoulder, and we swayed. "My wife. You are going to be my wife. Anna Fuentes. I like it." He laughed and kissed my neck.

"Anna Fuentes. I love it." I turned around to face him. "In fact I can't wait till then. Nor can I wait till you're my husband. My Husband." I closed my eyes and laid my head on his chest so I could hear his heart beat. He took one hand in his and place the other on my hip, and we danced to whatever slow song was on. After a while we sat on the couch. I needed something, anything, I needed something new. "Vic I want to do something crazy..." I said leaning back from his chest. "Crazy? Like what?"

"Well, I want a tattoo..." I bit my lip and leaned in for a kiss, he was still looking at me like I was nuts. "What?" He said. "You heard me," I then screamed at the top of my lungs, "I WANT A TATTOO!" All he could do was laugh at me. "Of what? You don't even know what you want..."

"Hell yea I do, I've been thinking about this forever!" I yelled at him. "Oh really, then do tell me what my only other ink virgin wants."

"I want a music note, tattooed on my left hip. Music is my life, it's what got me through everything, it's what saved me, it's how I met my best friend and sister (Lizzie)! It's how I met the love of my life, and it's what our daughter will be raised around." I explained to him. He smiled shaking his head at the ground. "Fine, let's go." He sighed.

We were in Sacramento, California, I put a pair of shorts on and pulled my hair into a ponytail. We walked into the front of the venue they had played at and looked up and down the street for a tattoo parlor. We found one directly across from the venue. We walked in, the walls were covered in designs, from top to bottom. "Hey! Welcome to, Capitol Ink, do you have an appointment or are you a walk-in?" A guy covered in tattoos asked me.

"Walk-in..." I said a bit nervous. "Alright have a seat over there and I'll see if Hannah'll take you." He walked into the back room and I could hear muffled talking. I looked at Vic, he took my hand and he even looked nervous. "What?" I asked him.

"Nothing I'm just thinking."

"About what?"

"Don't worry about it..." He ducked his head down and leaned on his arm. About five minutes later a woman who looked about 40 years old, she was bald and had a huge pink ribbon tattooed from her shoulder that wrapped it's way around her arm. "Hey, what's up I'm Hannah! Which one of you are getting a tat today?" I stood up and shook her hand. "Hi , I'm Anna, and that's-"

"Vic Fuentes! Hey there, my daughter's a huge fan! She told me you'd found yourself a girl!" He smiled, nodded and came to stand next to me. "She's actually in the back, if you want to meet her she'd really love it, she just got done watching your show actually." In the back, sat a girl with really long black hair she was tracing the tattoo on her arm, that matched her mother's. "May I ask a personal question about that tattoo?" I said to Hannah, she spun around to face me. "I almost forgot about you, haha sorry, forgive me, and yea ask away! I get questions about it all the time!"

"Did somebody in your family have cancer, or was it you?" I asked and she nodded. "It was me. And it was tough, I hated every second of it! But now I live everyday like my last, and all I wanna live to see is my daughter to be happy. She's been so depressed ever since... Anyway I'm getting to into it, it's over now! So what kinda tattoo do you want?" I told her what I wanted and Vic walked into the back to meet the girl, her eyes got huge and she hugged him. All I could do was smile at how happy she was, but I could tell how much pain she masked by the fake smile she sent him. Nobody else could see it in the room, but I could cause I'd been there. When I looked at her mother she had a tear in her eye. She wiped it away and went to drawing. About an hour late and a lot of little prickly things on my hip, I had a tattoo. It was beautiful, the note flowed through lines on a staff, and ended with a repeat sign.

"Well I've gotta go now, but it was nice meeting you Emily." Vic stood up from where him and the girl had been sitting. "Awww you guys have to go already?" She said standing next to him. She looked really depressed about it and that fake smile she had was fading. "Hey kid! " I yelled through the room. She turned towards me. "Cherish every moment you have with your mom, you never know when the days will end. And the only thing you can say to her is, Goodbye. Trust me, it hurts worse than the fake smile we have to put on." She was shocked and she looked at her mom and then back to me. She sat back down and then finally gave me what I'd been waiting to see. The genuine smile, that had obviously been locked away for so long.

As we walked out of the place I turned around, "Thank you, and never lose hope! It was the only thing I could hold on to in the end." I walked away with Vic and he turned and waved to them.

When we got back to the bus we laid on his bunk, he had lifted my shirt to see the tattoo. He traced it with the tip of his finger. "Ouch you know it's still tender!" I yelled looking him in the eye. He just laughed and brought his hand up my side rubbing it lightly. We laid there for the rest of the night just dreaming about our future, and future Chloe, and one day we hoped, she'd be ours.
