A Fool's Revenge.

It’s been a week since the barbeque and I don’t think I’ve ever been happier, well maybe when I left this town. Chris and the guys get here yesterday and told me that they might stop by after they hit the studio. I was excited to see all of the guys again and more so because tomorrow was my day off so I didn’t have to worry about getting up early.

I rolled out of my bed and started getting ready for work. I hadn’t slept at Mike’s in a few days but that was okay because he was really busy this past week with album stuff. I saw him almost every day though so it was fine between us. I liked how we weren’t like attached at the hip like a lot of couples.

I was soon finishing my cup of coffee and on my way to work. Today was going to be a very busy day because we were booked almost solid with exceptions of maybe a handful of breaks in between appointments. I pulled around back and made my way into the shop. We had only just opened and the first couple appointments showed up.


I was stressing out with all the paper work and calls coming in along with everyone rushing in and out but it all dissipated when my boyfriend walked through the door. There was no way I could take my normal half hour lunch break with him but I could at least eat whatever he brought me.

“Working hard babe?” he chuckled and I just looked at him and rolled my eyes. He handed me a grilled chicken wrap from the deli down the street. I don’t even know how he knew that this one was my favorite but I took it graciously. I walked back and told Dave I would be outside taking a small break for lunch and he told me no more than fifteen minutes.

We walked out back and sat in my car. We made small talk, mostly him talking about how well the album sounded so far, until my break was over. He walked me to the front and swallowed me up in his arms.

“I’ll see you after work” he said more as a question and I thought. The guys from motionless were supposed to be coming over when they were done in the studio, maybe this could be an excuse for a bonfire!

“Well…” I smiled and he looked at me, curiosity lurking in the depths of his eyes.

“Chris and the guy were supposed to stop by my house when they were done in the studio and seeing as you guys have been working so hard, how about we have a little relaxing bonfire?” I suggested with a small smile and watched as he mulled the idea over in his head then slowly nodded as if he was agreeing with himself.

“Alright, sounds good. I know Vic could really use some chill time anyways. He’s freaking out about this album.” He chuckled and I smiled brightly.

“Music is going to be the death of him.” I shook my head.

“Alright, I’ll be around a little after you get home. I love you babe.” He leaned down and kissed my lips but I was in shock. That was the first time he has dropped the ‘L-bomb’ I blinked a few times but no doubt had a smile on my face. He didn’t even give me a chance to say it back as he was already pulling out of the lot with a weird look on his face. I chuckled to myself and sat back at the desk, both my coworkers smiling at me.


It was finally closing and I was beyond happy to be going home. The mad rush of the day was finally over and we were all sluggishly making our way out. Dave locked the door and we all walked back to our cars.

“Hey, I’m having a bonfire at my house if you guys want to swing by.” I mentioned with a slight yawn and they both looked at me skeptically.

“It’s literally like a dozen people and alcohol… and maybe food.” I negotiated and they nodded finally.

“Fine, it’ll be later for me though. I go some things to do.” Dave said with a smirk. Casey and I both just shook our head at him as he got in his car and left.

“I’ll be over in like an hour, who is gonna be there though?” she said anxiously from her window.

“My guys and the guys from Motionless in White.” I said with a nonchalant sigh.

“You and these bands, I swear you’re gonna be the death of me. I’ll see you later babes!” she blew a kiss and drove off.


I made a few stops before arriving home to find no one is waiting for me to walk in the door this time. I grabbed the groceries, booze and other things I had to pick up for this little bonfire thing. I smiled as I pulled out the s’mores ingredients; they brought back some nice memories from long ago.

I stuck some wings and pizza bites in the oven knowing everyone would be hungry but not hungry enough for me to actually cook something. As I pulled the tiny snacks out of the oven to cool my front door slowly opened. It scared me for a split second until my lovely boyfriend, his brother and two best friends came through the door.

“Thanks for creeping the fuck outta me, Mike.” I smacked his arm with the oven mit I was using before cracking a small smile.

“Sowwy.” He said before he kissed my forehead and leaned against the counter.

“You’ve got him so whipped, Jay.” Tony chuckled and I shrugged as I walked upstairs to change out of my work clothes into something much more comfortable. I changed into dark wash denim cut off shorts and a stark white tank but threw on the Pantera hoodie Scotty had sent me in that box of goodies. It was a size too big so it fell a little past my shorts but I didn’t care.

I walked back downstairs and found everyone setting up the chairs outside around the fire pit. There was a loud knocking beat at my door just as I stepped out of my door. I quickly walked back in and got to the door and found my boys, my best freaky looking friends.

“Jay!” they cheered in scrambled words. I smiled and hugged them all. God, I missed them so much and it had literally only been a few weeks. I loved everyone I met this summer but these guys really helped me forget about a lot of things this past summer and I loved them a lot.

“How are you guys?! I missed you so much!” I squealed as if i was that excited little girl going to see her favorite band for the first time.

“It’s literally been three weeks, chill baby girl.” Balz chuckled and wrapped an arm around my shoulder pulling me into a side hug and I just rolled my eyes.

“Whatever. I still missed you guys. How’s the album coming?” I asked as we all walked through the kitchen, me picking up the now cooled food and walking outside.

“It’s pretty badass, if you ask me.” Ryan said with a grand smile. As we got closer to the rest of them the conversation slowed as they greeted each other with ‘bro hugs’

“So, how are you, Jayme?” Devin asked with a cocky smile as his eyes traveled from me, to Mike and back.

“Pretty good, for once….” I cut myself off from talking about all the things I thought about when I was alone at night. I wanted them to know I was happy without having to worry about little ol’ me.

I wanted to say that my head was fucking with me recently but I refrained because I was happy… my mind was just playing tricks on me a lot.

“Jayme!” Ricky yelled while waving his hand in front of my face.

“huh? What?” I smiled and looked at him.

“Where’s the alcohol? I know you’re not holding out on me, right?” he chuckled and I got up, motioning for him to follow me. We got into the kitchen and I grabbed my stock pile of assorted booze. I was about to walk out when he stopped me.

“What’s wrong?” he asked quietly as if someone would really be able to hear us in here. He and Chris had this thing about reading me like the largest print open book. I know I couldn’t lie to him or Chris so I just didn’t say anything, I just shrugged.

“Jayme…” he looked at me like a father who caught his little girl coming home far past her curfew.

“Dammit, Ricky! Can’t I just say I’m happy and have you and Chris not question me about it?” I sighed frustratingly. He looked at me like I asked the stupidest question in the world.

“Nope. You only zone out with a frown on your pretty little face when you lie.” He crossed his arms over his chest and just stared at me waiting patiently for an answer.

“Well, I wasn’t lying; I just didn’t say all of it. I don’t want you guys to always have to worry about me. I am really happy but my mind has just been fucking with me.” I sighed and leaned against my counter before grabbing a cup and making a drink. Drink the pain, frustrations and stress away, right?

“Oh, Jay, We’re always gonna worry about you. To most of us, you’re like a little sister. No matter what we’re gonna worry. We’re all glad you’re happy though.” he smiled then left me standing there in the kitchen without another word to say. I sighed angrily and walked out with my drink. I sat on my boyfriend’s lap as Jaime lit the fire. I snuggled up and he wrapped his arms around me.


I watched the fire intently. I swear I was the slightest bit of a pyro because whenever a fire was near, I got mesmerized by it and wanted it to grow. I watched as the flame flickered and changed directions while the guys carried their own conversations amongst one another. I didn’t bother paying attention because all I wanted was to be cuddled up and cozy with a drink in my hand.

Dave and Casey soon showed up and made themselves comfortable, acquainting themselves with the people they didn’t know and sparking new conversations.



I was on my fourth drink and wasn’t able to comprehend anything. All I knew is that I was content. I got off of Mike’s lap in a light stumble and made my way inside to get a glass of water. I knew someone was following me but I couldn’t tell you who, even though they were right in front of my face.

“I know he’s going to hurt you, Jayme. I don’t get why you chose him . well, I do but I just want you to know that I will always love and care for you.” The words were followed by a slow, emotion fill, kiss. I stumbled back from the pressure put on my body and I tried to blink to focus my blurred vision but whoever just confessed their feelings, had left.

I shook it off and walked back outside a little more sober now but still tipsy enough to stumble in the grass. I said my goodnights and told Mike to make sure whoever stayed knew where everything was before going back inside and trekking up to my room, taking my pants and jacket off and curling up into my bed.



I drifted off to a wondering mind, curious as to who could have kissed me. I knew the voice but I honestly couldn’t put a face to the voice. I soon could feel someone’s arms wrapped around me and hot breath on my neck.


“I love you more and more each day, Jayme.” Mike said with a feather-like kiss to my neck and cheek before he sigh contently and fell asleep. I was close behind him but my mind was still in a tizzy. I finally gave up and curled my body to fit into my boyfriends’ and drifted off to the mysteriousness that was the darkness of my mind.

Notes

I'm sorry I haven't updated in almost a week! I just haven't had the ambition to sit and actually write this chapter out. I'm pretty sure you can probably tell that I wrote this one three separate occasions. Whatever, I don't even care. I'm on spring break now though so I'll be posting(hopefully) quite a bit!!

It's a case of 'WHO DONE IT?' Who confessed the feelings?

I hope this really makes up for not updating!

Thanks so much for reading/commenting/subscribing(: I love each and every one of you that actually reads these notes! <3
