The Forgotten Fuentes
Baby Steps
Vic's POV~
"MIKE YOU IDIOT WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?!!" I yelled. I had walked in right as he had done it....he broke up with Lilly. He dropped his phone and turned to look at me, and he was already bawling. I instantly felt bad for how I reacted. "Hey...I'm sorry Mikey, but why did you break up with her?" I asked with a softer tone, walking to him and rubbing his back comfortingly.
He turned away from me and shook his head. "If I tell you, you'll hate me like I do and like Lilly does now," he said. I had a flashback to the night we all (excluding Tony) got completely shitfaced and wondered if something happened then. I continued to rub his back. "Little brother, you've always told me everything. Don't keep this from me please, tell me what happened," I said.
He sniffled a bit and looked up. "Vic, I haven't always told you everything, but if I do tell you this, you can't get mad at me. Okay?" he said, and searched my eyes for honesty. I smiled and nodded my head. "Cross my heart, what's bothering you?" I asked. He sighed and began.
"You remember that night we went to the bar with our fake ID's a few days ago?" he asked. I nodded, urging him to continue. "Well, I came back to the bus...and umm....the guitar tech girl...Alysha...I uh...we...just...I missed Lilly so much...Alysha reminds me of her...and we..kind of maybe had sex.." he mumbled quietly, and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My little brother had done possibly the dumbest thing on earth. I wasn't mad, I was disappointed.
"Mike....God damn it... don't break up with Lilly because of that! Tell her the truth, yeah it'll hurt, but this hurts both of you worse, I promise," I said finally after about five minutes of silence.
He looked at me, then at his phone, then at me again. I nodded and he picked it up and dialed Lilly's number. I waited until he said 'hello?' signalling that she picked up. I got up to leave, and he turned and looked at me. I gave him a thumbs up and left.
I walked back to the bunks, holding onto things all along the way since the bus was still moving. I fell into Jaime when the buss hit a bump, and instantly Tony exclaimed, "Damn Vic, you fell for my man!" Both Jaime and I instinctively looked at each other and make a kissing face, which in turn caused us to laugh hysterically.
After the fit of hysterics, I went to my bunk and sat down. I got my phone out to facetime my beautiful wife, but stopped when I heard yelling coming from the kitchenette area. I got up and went to investigate, and saw Mike with his head down on the table, body shaking violently, and a very startled Tony hugging him tightly and trying to calm him. When Tony saw me, he released my brother and I went to go talk to him.
"Mikey, what happened?" I asked. "Vic she fucking hates my guts now...Alli took her phone and started cussing me out because Lilly was hysterical....I d-don't know what else I c-can do....I wanna hold her and m-make her stop c-crying and I fucking h-hate myself for c-causing her so much m-misery," he choked out. He was trembling and his breathing was irregular, he seemed to be going into a panic attack. I sat down next to my little brother and held onto him the way I used to when we were kids and Mama went on her drinking binges.
"Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
Porque cantando se alegran
Cielito lindo los corazones
De la sierra, morena
Cielito lindo vienen bajando
Un par de ojitos negros
Cielito lindo de contrabando..."
I sang one of the traditional lullabies our grand mama would sing to me when I was afraid, and Mike calmed in my arms. I released him and he looked at me with sad eyes. "Hermano..." he said. "Si?" I replied. "I need her," he said, and I nodded. "We still have a bit left on tour, so maybe by the time we get home, she'll be over it. I'm going to try to calm Alli down in the mean time," I said, putting a comforting hand on my brother's bony shoulder.
He just looked at me. I knew he had more to tell her, but one thing at a time. This one was by far the worst. He hadn't told her his addiction had gotten worse, and I knew there were things he needed to tell her that he hadn't told me. But, you know. Baby steps.
Notes
Damn it Mike -.- Get it together! At least he told her though. Do you think Mike and Lilly will recover, or is their relationship history?
