Last Seen In San Francisco

**Ahna's POV**

"I see why Charlie hated you now. You're nothing but a fat, stupid, selfish bitch!" Mike yelled at me, slapping me across the face.

I jumped as I woke up. I felt Mike's loving arms around me, but I felt no love. I attempted to get up, but was pulled back in. "What's the matter, Angel?" he asked me.

"I-I'm fine," I muttered, though my voice cracked. Mike sat up and pulled me into his lap. I was facing him, but looking down. His thumb rubbed over my cheek, making me aware of the fact that I was crying.

"Please tell me," he whispered. He pressed his lips to my forehead.

"I just had a bad dream. I'm okay, Mikey."

"Wanna tell me about it?" he asked, pulling me close.

"No… Do you love me?" I asked softly.

"Ahna-Leigh Richards," Mike said, softly but sternly, and cupped my face in his hands so I was forced to look into his eyes, "I love you more than anything else in the world. I love you more than Harry Potter."

"Well when you bring Harry Potter into it then I know you mean it," I smirked and placed my hand gently over his.

"You are the most beautiful human being I have ever met, inside and out. I don't know what you're dream was about, but the real Mike loves you more than he ever thought he could love anyone."

"I'm so lucky to have my Mikey," I whispered, leaning in and putting my head on his chest. He got a text, so I pulled away to let him look at it.

"Ahn, do you care if I go out to breakfast with Vic?" he asked as he looked up from the device.

"Of course not! Go spend some time with your big brother. I'll find someone to hang out with," I assured him.

"Okay," he smiled, "Well I'm going to go meet up with him, why don't you call Tony and do something?" Mike stood up from the bed.

"Alrighty. I love you, baby." I stood up on the bed and opened my arms. I felt very self-conscious in just his t-shirt and panties, but I was starting to be more comfortable around him.

"I love you, too. I will love you until the day the constellations break," he whispered, wrapping his hands around my legs and pulling me off the bed and holding my thighs around his waist.

"What does that even mean?" I giggled, snuggling into him.

"I dunno but I read it in a book back in high school and I thought it sounded romantic. Did it work?" he chuckled back

"A little," I smirked before I pressed a slow, loving kiss to his lips. "So, Michael Christopher Fuentes, I will love you until the Southern Constellations break."

"Yay, you finally listened to our songs!" he giggled, spinning me around.

"Of course I did! You guys are amazing. Now go eat with your brother, I'll be alright."

"Will you eat?" he asked as he put me down.

"…Okay,” I agreed reluctantly.

"Promise?" I nodded at his words. "Okay, I'll tell Tony to come over." I followed Mike out of the lounge to see that we were the only ones on the bus. Another thing I discovered as I stood up, I had awful cramps. I groaned a bit, holding my tummy. “What’s wrong, Angel?” Mike asked, turning away from the door.

“Nothing, just not feeling great,” I muttered.

“Are you sure you don’t want me to stay?”

I assured Mike that he should go spend some brother time with Vic, and eventually he did leave. I decided to get dressed in case Tony did come over. I threw on a zero-fucks-given outfit and brushed my hair.

From: Tony :D
Hey Mike said ur not feelin so great, so I’ll bring over some dvds and we can just chill out until you get sick of me ;)

To: Tony :D
Sounds great. Cya soon turtle!

I put my phone down and folded the pull-out bed back up so it was just in couch form. Not long after I finished, I heard a knock on the door. “Hey, Tone!” I smiled once I opened the door. “You can head back and get the movie set up, I’ll be there in a sec.” He did as I said, walking toward the lounge, while I went to the bathroom. I did what I needed to do, applying my feminine products and such before washing my hands and heading to the lounge.

“Hope you like Star Wars,” Tony said with a wink as I entered.

“You have much to learn, young Padawan,” I winked back as I settled down into the sofa. We chatted a bit, but were mostly too focused on the movie. About half way through the first one, I began to feel myself getting tired, probably from the medicine I took to help my cramps. I pulled the blanket up over my shoulders in an attempt to get comfy.

“C’me here, dork,” Tony chuckled as through his arm around my shoulders. I let my head sink into his shoulder and smiled, just enjoying the happiness of being around one of my best friends.

“Thanks for chillin’ with me, Tone.”

“Anytime,” he smiled down at me and rubbed my arm a bit. Soon enough, my eyes were too heavy to keep them open anymore.

**Mike’s POV**

“I dunno, man. I just really wish I had someone around like the rest of you. I mean, Tony and Erin, Jaime and Jess, you and Ahna. I’m happy for all of you, but I do wish I had someone,” Vic vented to me as we walked back to the venue.

“What about that one model with the red hair? You thought she was cute,” I reminded him of the girl that was in the video for King For A Day.

“Yeah, she just wasn’t-”

“Wasn’t what, Vic? What are you looking for?” I got my answer from the look on his face. “Listen, Millie’s a pretty girl. You gotta snatch her up before someone else does; she won’t wait around forever.”

“I know, Mike. I know.” With that, we said our goodbyes and I returned to Cherri Bomb’s bus to check on Ahna.

“Hey, Ahn, you here?” I called as I entered.

“Back here,” I heard Tony answer from the back lounge.

“Uhh…” I didn’t really know what to say as I walked back to see Ahna sleeping with her head on Tony’s shoulder and his arm around her.

“Mmm… hey, Mikey,” she mumbled as she lifted her head up and smiled at me sleepily.

“Hey, Angel. How was your morning?” I said quietly, sitting on the sofa next to her. Tony pulled his arm out from under her as she leaned over to me.

“Tired. Crampy. Wayyyy to many Star Wars puns,” Ahna giggled. She rested her head in my lap, throwing her feet in Tony’s.

“Yeah, yeah, just make yourself comfortable,” he laughed. “I’m gonna head out. See ya later, Leia.” Ahna got up and hugged Tone.

“Bye, Luke,” she giggled back.

“Fill me in?” I laughed emptily as I pulled Ahna into my lap after Tony left.

“Luke is Leia’s brother, so since Tony is like a brother to me, the nicknames just kinda happened,” she giggled as she settled in and snuggled close to me.

“You are so cute,” I chuckled and kissed her forehead.

“Yeah, yeah.”

I really hoped she wasn’t falling for Tony.

**Vic’s POV**

To: Milinda :)
Hey pretty girl!

I texted Millie as soon as I reached my bus. I was the only one there and just enjoyed the silence. After about five minutes, she responded.

From: Milinda :)
Hi. Wuts up?

To: Milinda :)
Nm. Wanna go get some lunch later?

From: Milinda :)
Rehearsing with the kids now, come by and then we can figure it out from there?

I agreed and she told me which stage they were at.

“Hey, Vic!” Nia smiled and waved at me, though the smile never seemed to reach her eyes.

“Sup,” I smiled back.

“But, baby, no, sometimes things don’t work out the way we planned.
To live is just to fall asleep,
to die is to awaked.
Maybe, we’re meant to lose the ones we love,
but I’ll fight for you till then.
And if they stole you from me,
on my arm there’s a tattoo of your name,” I heard that beautiful voice singing. I smiled at her appearance. The way the beanie so effortlessly enhanced her hair, the way the short sleeves let her few tattoos and her bracelets show. Her skin dark like mine, but her pastel hair giving a sharp contrast. Millie was just so deeply beautiful in a way I couldn’t even comprehend.

“Milinda Martinez, you never stop amazing me,” I smiled at her. She jumped, unaware that I’d been listening. “Wait a sec, whose name do you have a tattoo of?” I gasped fakely, pressing a hand to my heart.

“Yours, actually,” she mumbled, putting her head down to hide the deep blush consuming her cheeks. Of course I’d noticed the few tattoos that graced her skin, but I hadn’t looked that closely. I grabbed her hand and held out her arm. The lower half was covered in bracelets while, just above her elbow, rested a heart with Vic + Mike + Jaime + Tony then the words Pierce The Veil under it in our signature cursive font.

“That’s beautiful,” I smiled, literally humbled at the fact that a girl as amazing as Millie cared that much for me and my band.

“You guys have done a lot for me. I really owe you my life,” she whispered.

“Hey, lovebird! Can I have my cousin back?” Casey asked in a protective tone, slinging an arm over Millie’s shoulders. Even though he was so young, I respected and appreciated the way he looked out for her the way she had for him all those years.

“Calm down, Case,” she giggled, kissing him on the cheek.

“Ugh, c’mon, Millz! We’re all finished up here, you can go,” he groaned.

“Yeah, yeah. Love you, too.”

“What do you wanna do?” I asked her happily.

“Well, the kids are going out to lunch, so we could just go back and chill on my bus?” she asked, then bit her lip as she waited for an answer.

“Sounds perfect,” I smiled.
