Fuentes Time

Take Me Home

I had been back for only one day when Paris came round. She's been following my movements on twitter apparently as well as phoning and texting me. She's heard about Fay and seems very interested in him.
When we arrived in San Diego Fay and James went straight to their apartment. But V stayed with me for a while. She hasn't got much money left. Which means for her to live we need to find a a guitarist and start practicing as soon as possible. We haven't set a time scale before we play out first gig. But it needs to be soon. If I wanted to I could play on the whole Vic Fuentes is my daddy, but I'd rather not. I think once we get a gig a lot of Dad's fans will shop up though.
Paris and V seem to get on well. We're sitting in the studio with Fay and James. Paris has volunteered as our merch girl. The fact that we don't actually have any merch or even an EP doesn't seem to faze her.
"I think you should have t-shirts to start off with. I think copy's of the album and t-shirts are enough until you get a bigger following," Paris said seriously.
"How are we supposed to make t-shirts when we don't even have a band name?" Fay asked like she was stupid.
"Or a guitarist," V added.
"What about Matt?" Paris asked.
"I'm not asking Matt," I snapped.
"What happened with you and Matt?" Paris asked.
"It doesn't even matter," I grumbled.
"I know you don't like him, but you should learn to work it out. He could be good for the band. Even if he is a dick," James said.
"Yeah, I think Fay is a dick but I'm still working with him," V laughed.
"I'm not a dick," Fay defended.
"You so are,"
"Only for you," he grinned.
"We should think of a name," James suddenly said.
"We should think of guitarist advertisements," V sighed.
"Effy!" Dad called. I sighed and saw the door open. Dad walked in and waited over by the door.
"Here's an idea. Free Pierce The Veil autographs with every t-shirt you buy," James said.
"Hmm. . ." Dad muttered.
"We're joking, Vic," Paris reassured him.
"Effy, a word,"
"Sure," I nodded. I got up and followed Dad out of the studio. We went down to the sitting room. I sat down and he joined me. "What's up?" I asked.
"Ef'," he sighed heavily.
"If this is about school they told me I could have the time off. They promised. I just really think my head of year doesn't like me. I don't know why-"
"It's not school," he interrupted.
"Okay, well I swear nothing every happened at Alysha's place That fan on twitter might have that picture of me drinking but I have plausible deniability,"
"I got a call from the cops," Dad sighed.
"What?" I frowned. "I haven't done anything,"
"It's about your trial. They've been trying to get in touch but because of tour they couldn't reach me,"
"Um when?" I asked weakly.
"Next week. At the courthouse in Birmingham,"
"I can't go," I rushed.
"You have to, Effy. It's the only way this will end,"
"But I'll have to see him," I gasped.
"Yeah. But I'll be right there with you. Everything will be just fine," he soothed.
"What if I lose?"
"I can't even think about that. I can't think about what he did to you," Dad told me carefully. "I'm so sorry," he muttered and cupped my cheek with his hand.
"I love you," I told him.
"I love you too. No matter what happens," he told me. I threw my arms around him and he pulled me close to him. I was practically sitting on Dad's lap.
"I don't want to be ugly anymore," I said against his neck.
"You're not. You're my beautiful girl, you're always beautiful," he soothed.
"I'm not. He made me ugly. I just want to be home forever in my safe place. I want to be with you forever. This is my home. I'm sorry," I sobbed.
"Shhh . . ."
"I don't want anyone there. Just you," I rushed.
"Okay. I promise," he smiled sadly.
"Don't let anything bad happen,"
"I'm your dad. It's my job," he replied. I kissed his cheek and pulled away. "Go to your friends," me urged. I nodded and got up. I walked back upstairs and into the studio. I saw V flicking through my lyric book while the overs hovered over her.
"Hey," I said. I went to sit back down and Paris came over. I rested my head on her shoulder and sighed.
"What's up?" she asked quietly.
"Um I'm out next week,"
"Out where?" James asked.
"I have to go on a trip to the UK," I explained.
"Seeing family?" Fay asked.
"I say I'm going to the UK and you assume I'm seeing family,"
"You're British," James shrugged.
"Anyway, I don't know how long I'll be. A week tops. But while I'm gone you can find a guitarist," I said.
"Are you okay?" Paris asked carefully.
"I knew it was coming up," I glared at the carpet.
"Maybe we should carry this on tomorrow," Paris suggested.
"That's a good idea," I agreed. "So start thinking of names,"
"Okay," V nodded. "Call if you need me," she said.
"I will, thanks," I said. V got up and smiled before she left. James came over to me and leant down. He kissed my cheek and I felt him smirk against my skin.
"Leave her alone, you twat," Fay snapped and pushed him out of the studio door.
"Thanks," I told Fay.
"Yeah," he nodded before he left too.
"Are you okay?" Paris asked cautiously.
"Not really," I said truthfully. "But what does that matter?" I laughed humourlessly and slipped out a cig to pop into my mouth.

Notes

Hey! What did you think? The band is setting up. Any suggestions for names? An Effy's court case is coming up. How do you feel about that? Will Effy win? How will she deal with it? :)

Wow thank you so much! That's a huge complement for me. I'm so happy you enjoy my writing. One of the reasons I write is to make people smile!

I dont want to say what happens and spoil it but there are definitely no plans for Effy to get pregnant. She's been through all of that once already. Effy is facing other things. I think a court case would kill me too! :p I have something all planned out in my head that will be in the next story that I just can't wait to write. Vic will have to face a lot of home truths involving Effy in the next story. There is a lot that she's hidden from him this last year. Effy and Fay's relationship is something really unique. I don't want to say where it'll go because I don't even know. Fay is very close to Effy, that's all I'll say!

Thank you so much! New story coming up soon! :)

OMG! I love this story, you are such a great writer!!!!!
In terms of the story; I hope Effy doesn't get pregnant and stuff, and that the guy doesn't lie. Another court case would be to much for my brain and heart to handle. I hope Vic finds out about what just happens because he finally deserves to know somethings. And i hope Effy and Fay get together and Matt gets jealous. Or something with James.
But great job and please update!!!

Thank you so much! I still can't believe this series has been successful as it is! It's so insane to me, I'm so happy you enjoy it though. In Effy's head she's doing the right thing. She believes all the risks and sacrifices shes making are worth it. There will be definitely drama on the cards though! :)

I'm addicted to this series !!!! Just really hope edgy sorts herself out and Vic doesn't get too angry , I'd hate to see them
hating each other

@tall_evil_turtle
That's an interesting theory. Effy's thinking is definitely not that of a normal person! But her little addiction will definitely take toll in the sequel. I don't want to say too much though :)
