Anatome (Jaime Preciado/Pierce The Veil)

Alexis's POV

I went to the bunks, grabbed my clothes and headed to the bathroom as soon as Erin and I got back to the bus. I showered quickly and changed into a knee length black skirt, a black stretchy top underneath a white, lacy top and black high top converse (even though I'm female, I cannot walk in high heels). I loosely curled my hair and borrowed some mascara from Erin. Seeing as it was 5pm and the sun was still quite bright, I set my sunglasses over my eyes and walked to the front of the bus.

"Sis, you look adorable." Mike says and kisses the top of my head.

"I agree, you look so cute! You look female! Erin says and hugs me.

"Thanks, Erin. Nice to know I changed from a guy to a girl." I joked and hugged her back.

"Holy crap, have I been dating a guy the entire time?!" I hear Jaime exclaim from the bunks.

"Yes, you have. You discovered my secret!"

"Noooo." I laugh, sit on the couch beside Erin and watch The Walking Dead (This is my addiction...).

"Sis! Are you even listening?" I see Vic waving his hand in front of my face and hear him shouting in my ear.

"Yeah, I zoned out. The episode got intense, the prison got overrun! Judith may be dead!" I whine.

"Whatever you say, Jaime's waiting for you." Vic says and points behind him. Jaime was wearing a white button up shirt and black skinny jeans. He had his sunglasses over his eyes as well and he grinned when he saw me.

"You look beautiful." He says as he takes my hand and kisses my head. I smile to him and kiss his cheek.

"Right, ground rules." Mike says. I groan and look up. Jaime laughs awkwardly and shifts uncomfortably.

"No killing, no biting, no love bites, no hickeys, no baby making, all that stuff." Mike says.

"Basically, no romance in general?" Jaime asks.

"Pretty much." Mike says.

"Mike, we're going on a date. There will be some romantic stuff but definitely not baby making. It's a little early for that." I mention.

"It's never too early to make babies." Jaime winks at me and I feel my cheeks heat up. Erin and Tony start laughing uncontrollably and even Vic and Mike join in.

"Right, we're leaving, bye!" I drag Jaime off the bus and wave at the guys and Erin.

"So, where are we going?" I ask Jaime as he links our hands together.

"There's a restaurant that's a few minutes away from here that we're eating at and the rest's a little surprise." Jaime says and kisses my forehead. After walking for five minutes, we arrive at a relatively fancy restaurant. We enter, order our food and talk.

"Why me?" I ask Jaime.

"What do you mean?"

"Why go out with me? There's plenty of much prettier girls that you can be with and you choose me. Why?"

"Alexis, you're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. I often ask myself how you ended up with me. This is going to sound really chiche but you light up my world. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I love you with all my heart."

"That's the sweetest thing anyone's ever said to me. I love you too." We share a sweet kiss and our food arrives. Jaime had ordered tacos (what a surprise..) and I ordered chicken and salad. After eating and paying (which I protested about seeing as Jaime paid for the entire meal which I felt guilty about), we were holding hands and we were walking to god knows where.

"Can't you please tell me where we're going?" I ask Jaime and pout. He laughs at me and taps his nose. Honestly, this man will drive me insane. After walking for some time, we arrive at the beach. Located in the distance, there was a mini picnic set up.

"Seeing as we're both still hungry as we act as if we're eating for four people, I arranged extra food." I kiss Jaime and we walk over to the picnic. Cherries, strawberries, doughnuts, cupcakes and other foods were lying in th picnic basket, waiting to be eaten. Jaime and I deecide to be mature and have a competition to see who can tie a cherry stalk with their tongue, which I completely failed at. Jaime managed to tie the stalk after four minutes and I spat out the stalk in defeat. Jaime laughed at my reaction and softly jabs my shoulder.

"There's always next time." He winks at me and stands up.

"What are you doing?" I ask him and look at him questionly. jaime taps his nose again and pulls out an acoustic guitar from behind a rock that was on the beach.

"Er... this is a song that I wrote. I wrote it a few days ago and... I've dedicated and written it about you. It's called Anatome." Jaime says and starts strumming the guitar. Holy crap, he wrote a song about me. This is by far the sweetest thing anyone has done for me.

You're right I've lied, one to many times before
I'm right that I've been so selfish
I've tried to find ways for my own body to stand still
But I can't keep my hands to my side
All they wanna do is touch, and my mouth it talks to much
My eyes they see everything...
Like the fact I can't explain the one thing I need to say
So I'll keep it here with me, so I can...
So I can try...
Try to be more obvious, and lie and tell me I'm right again.

Cause I swore that I'll be just fine when you're gone
But my body misses you like the sun
But something inside still feels wrong
Maybe it was you all along.

There's not much I can say
When my tongue digs all my own graves
And my legs don't wanna carry me through
So I'll keep it down this time, and I'll try and stay in line
Cause weve all had our nights that... I can't remember
So I do what I am told, and if LOVE really does exist
I'd run till I broke, bruised and battered... all my bones
To try to make it obvious and,
Learn how to make it right again...

Cause I swore that I'll be just fine when you're gone
But my body misses you like the sun
But something inside still feels wrong
Maybe it was you all along.

And my minds figured out not to let you into my dreams
And there's a MONSTER under my bed who will take care of me
While my fingers they hold pictures that my HEART can't believe
And my lungs are so clever, they don't need me to breathe

Cause I swore that I'd be just fine when you're gone
But my body shakes like you were a DRUG
But something inside still feels wrong

Cause I swore that I'd be just fine when you're gone but my,
My body misses you like the sun
But something inside still feels wrong
Maybe it was you all along
Maybe it was you all along
Maybe it was you

After finishing the song, Jaime moved over to me and wiped away the tears that were flowing from my eyes. I can't believe that he's written a song for ME.

"Jaime, that was amazing." I whisper.

"I love you. So, so much."

"I love you too." Jaime lies down on the sand and I rest my head on his shoulder. He wraps his arms around me and we stare up at the star filled sky.

"Do you remember when we went to the palace in Kuala Lumpur?" Jaime asks me. I giggle at the memory of that day.

~Flashback

"You guys look like fucking idiots." I laugh and Erin does too. The six of us were heading to the palace seeing as the guys and I had a day off. What we didn't realise was that were was a dress code. Erin and I were sensivle enough to wear jeans and a t-shirt (I had a checked shirt over mine, of course) whereas the guys had decided to wear shorts and vest tops. Shorts and vest tops weren't allowed to be worn inside the palace so the staff provided other clothing for the guys, which they looked ridiculous in.

"I think I look fly ass." Mike says as he puffs up the collar. families and passerbys are giving the guys odd and dirty looks which Erin and I find hilarious. Jaime talks to the camera that Dan was using for filming their TIAW documentary. We had a good time that day but the highlight for Erin and I was seeing the guys in the provided clothing. That was by far, one of the best memories I have made so far on the world tour.

~Present day

"We should head back, it's almost 10pm." Jaime says and we both pack up what's left of the picnic and we head back to the bus. As we enter, we see that no-one's on the bus. I wander around and see a note pinned to the fridge.

Alexis and Jaime,

The four of us have gone clubbing (Erin's our designated driver so call her if necessary), we'll be back before 3am. No baby making ;)

Love the gang.

I sigh and chuckle at the note and show it to Jaime. He laughs and heads to the bathroom. I head back to the bunks. As I start changing, I feel an arm snake around my waist. I turn around and crash my lips onto Jaime's. He instantly kisses back. As things got more heated, we moved to the bunks...
