A Fool's Revenge.

It had been a little under a week since the guys left and I had patiently waited for both Tony and Vic to contact me. I was more curious about Tony than Vic because I knew for the most part that he was just getting stressed out about this album he was trying to write. He always liked to get a fairly good head start on songs after they released an album. It gave him some ideas as to where he wanted to go with everything next.

Tony though, Tony was difficult to decipher. I had no idea why he looked so exhausted and sad. It was late at night here, around eleven at least and I shot a quick text to both of them figuring one of them had to be up. I got only one text back and it was from Tone.

Turtle:
Hey, Jay. sorry I haven't called you like I said I just figured you would be busy.

I looked at the text and shook my head at how ridiculous it sounded.

You know I always have time for you guys. It doesn't matter if I'm busy or not. I know you and Vic both looked like death and you both wanted to talk so whenever you need me, you know I'm here.

I sent a text back and waited for a response of some sorts and I got one saying to get on video chat. So I grabbed my computer and went back outside to enjoy the rest of the quiet cool night.

I picked up he call as soon as it came in and was faced with a deathly looking Tony. It broke my heart to see him like this. I sighed and shook my head and he just drop his eyes from the screen.

"Tony, what's going on?" I said quietly, waiting for him to look up again.

"I've just been down lately. I see you and Mike together and sometimes I just wish I had that. I have been dating this girl for almost a year and it was pretty serious. I didn't want her to meet you guys yet because I wanted to make sure she wasn't just in it for my money, not that there's a lot of it, or the fame she would get from being with me and being around the band. She ended up just ripping my heart up. I found her in bed with another guy, Jay. The bitch cheated on me." He sniffled and I frowned at the saddening story.

"You know, Tone... Mike and I are in no way a role model for relationships. We were so wretched to each other and the only reason we are together right now is because I was trying to break his heart for once. He was the biggest player and broke so many girls hearts back in high school. me being one of them, and I wanted him to feel what it was like to be heartbroken and used. We are far from any kind of perfection. Don't look up to us." I sighed, internally chuckling to myself ironically because of just how Mike and I are together now.

"I know that and you need to know that he's felt it with you. He's felt the heart break. That first time you broke up with him, he was crushed and I've never seen him like that ever. But seeing you two now, so happy and just loving towards each other even if it wasn't built on love at first, I just want that. I want to be able to look at someone the way Mike looks at you and I want someone to say goodbye to when we go on tour and someone to come home to when we get back. I want someone... well, someone like you. Jayme, you are a prime example of someone every guy wants; Someone who will tell them like it is and not just back down for them...Someone who cares about them and not what they do and someone whose not in it for the money or wants expensive things bought for them all of the time. Someone that's just down to earth." he said while quickly wiping a single shed tear from his face.

I felt for Tony. He is such a good guy and deserves a good girl and I know who he needs. Priscilla needed someone like him as well.

"Well, Tony, the next best thing to someone like me is Priscilla you know." I mumbled with a small smile and I saw a little sparkle in his eye.

"She doesn't want someone like me." he shook his head and I rolled my eyes.

"Are you kidding?! Tony, she really likes you! I have been trying to set you two up for the longest time. Most of the time either she was off touring with a band and you were here or vice versa!" I chuckled.

"Well, We talked a bunch of times through text and she just never seemed interested in me so I gave up." he said with a slight frown.

"She's interested, trust me. She thought you just didn't like her, that's why she stopped talking to you! Just text her and ask to meet up some time... go out for lunch or coffee or something!" I smiled and he nodded with a tiny smile playing on his lips. I heard the bus dor open and Tony looked a little nervous.

What are you doing out here? - the voice that I recognized as Victor said and Tony looked down at me as if asking if he should say and I just nodded. Tony told him that he was talking to me about some stuff and soon Vic's face showed next to Tony's on the screen and I just shook my head.

"Well, looks like neither of you listened to me on getting sleep." I sighed and they both looked away from me.

"I am not there to tell you two to sleep, I cannot force you to sleep nor can I make you some tea or warm milk to get you to sleep and I am also not there for you to freely vent to whenever you want. I asked both of you to get some sleep and I can tell that you both didn't." I sighed sadly again. I wanted so badly to be there to help them out and take whatever was on their brains, out, so they could both get some rest but I was here in Cali, unable to anything for them but talk through a screen.

I watched as Vic whispered and Tony began to get up.

"I'll be back in a bit." he smiled lightly and walked out of frame. I look at a beat up Vic. His beautiful brown eyes had dark rings around them and he looked so drained.

"I meant to call, like I said, I just kept forgetting or.. well, just didn't want to talk about it." Vic sighed and I looked at him with a quizzical expression on my face.

"Ever since Mike proposed to you, I don't know, I just continuously get this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach like someone kicked me as hard as they could. It sucks knowing the one person you loved with your whole heart chose someone else over you. I mean... that's not all that's bothering me but it's what consumes my brain the most right now. And I know you already know how I feel about you being with Mike but I can't help but say it again because it's just how I feel. I love you with all my heart and I'm starting to accept that you'll never feel the same way but I have to learn to love what I've got before it goes away." he sighed.
He tried to hide the heart broken look on his face and the creaking voice and the stray tears but he was bad at it. I honestly was at a loss for words. What do you say to your best friend who has told you numerous times that he loves you- that he's IN love with you without totally breaking their heart?

"Vic, I know you don't... prefer Mike and I together but I'm glad you're finally accepting that you'll just always be my very close brother whom I love so much but will never be in love with. I know it probably hurts to hear that coming from me but you'll find a flawless girl who loves you and cherishes you as much as I do, if not more than I do! And if she doesn't, well then she is just stupid for not grasping and holding onto such an amazing, caring, adoring guy like you. ANY girl would be damn lucky to have a guy like you as their boyfriend because I know you would treat them like a princess even if they don't deserve it." I chuckled out of awkwardness but it was true. Vic didn't have a single mean bone in his body when it came to the women that he cared about.

We both stared at each other for a few moments, not saying anything. We were letting our words sink onto each others heads. It was only then that Tony walked back and said that he was gonna try and get some sleep. I could see the physical and mental exhaustion strewn on his face and both Vic and I said goodnight to him.

"You should get some sleep too, Vic." I mumbled once I heard the bus door shut.

"I know, I just... can't. There's so much going on and so much going through my head at all times." he said with a frustrated but sad face.

"I know there's a lot going on but I need you to try and even just rest... for me. You need to at least rest and don't say you do because lying in the back lounge writing or watching Netflix doesn't count. I want you to go to your bunk and rest with your eyes closed, clear your mind of all the things that are stressing you out and just relax." I yawned finding myself getting quite tired.

"Looks like you need some sleep as well." he chuckled trying to change the subject. I gave him a stern glare and he sighed.

"Alright, I will try and get some rest at least if we can talk at least for a half hour like this every night. I never get any alone time with you to just talk anymore. You're always with my brother or working." he said with a very sad face and I realized that I had begun to neglect our time. We used to talk all the time before I had actually started dating Mike. He was the only person from back home that I texted regularly while I was at school. He was the only one who knew where I was all those years and he was just always there for me. I had failed to be there for him since then.

"Of course. Just let me know when you want to and I'll be there." I smiled weakly and so did he.

"Goodnight, Jay." he said with a yawn, the first I had seen in a few weeks.

"Good night, Vic." I said as I watched him log off and my screen turn back to the crab nebula background. I shut my computer and walked inside, putting my cup in tyhe aink and walked up to my cozy bed where my furry beasts were already fast asleep on my bed. It was always strange to me how they would both sleep on Mike's side of the bed, like they knew I needed to feel something on that side to feel somewhat safe.



I crawled into the cool sheets and drifted off into a deep sleep, filled with thoughts of the future.

Notes

Sorry if this is a little shitty. I was drinking Fireball when I wrote the last half of this and couldn't focus much to make it as deep as I wanted it to be.
But poor Tony! Vic, well, you probably all saw that coming. Just wait until the wedding... *INSERT EYEBROW WIGGLE*

QUESTION: For my next story, would you guys rather me keep updating on the same day ie; every sunday/monday or every friday/saturday?

Love you all, see you next week! <3 p.s, hope everyone had a very hoppy easter! ;)
