Mirrors on the Outside

Chapter 10

~Mike's POV~

It would be a lot easier to hate Laura if she wasn't so damn good, and hadn't been through so much. I do not like accepting new people. Period, end of sentence. But the guys and I all agree, there's something really special about her.

I'm not sure if Vic likes her a little too much though. I don't want to bring it up with him, because I mean he's just turned 30. Asking him if he has a crush on a 17 year old is almost too awkward, even for me. Plus, I kind of doubt it. It's just him being a caring person.

Laura seems like she might be scared of me. I hate that, I don't want to alienate her or make her feel uncomfortable or unwanted. Our first show as a band is tonight, and we're supposed to end with a huge group moment on stage. But I think back to yesterday, when Tony had us all hug her, and how upset I made her.

There's got to be something I can do to fix it.

"Miiiiike? Mike! I've been trying to get your attention for like five minutes, asshole." I shake out of my daze and look at Vic.

"What?"

He sighs. "What on earth has you so stressed out?" Vic asks, taking a seat next to me in the small, but comfortable kitchen.

I sigh as well. "It's Laura. I don't want to seem like I hate her, because I don't. But I know I've been a real jerk to her, and I don't understand how to fix it, because it's a hell of a mess, especially since she's so fragile. And I've been having these crazy stupid thoughts about you having some sort of weird crush on her, and-"

He finally cuts me off, laughing almost. "Mike, first off, you haven't ruined anything with her yet. Yeah, she was hurt by your actions, but if you just spend some time around her and get to know her, things will improve greatly. Secondly, she's like a younger sister to me! I'm 13 years older than her, and she's still underage even if I did like her that way. If there's anyone to worry about that with, it's Jaime. Tony's like her best friend, and our awkward turtle would never pull a move. But Jaime and Laura have this weird connection. I don't know. Anyway, try hanging out with her for a little while today before the show. Make her feel more at ease both with you and the idea of performing." Vic hugs me and walks off to god-knows where.

Well he makes it sound so easy, but I don't know how to just approach her and ask her to hang out with me!

I shake my head in nervousness and a bit of confusion, hopping off the chair and turning to see Laura, with a surprised look on her face.

"I'm sorry if I made you upset, Mike. I never thought you hated me or anything, I just have a really hard time feeling comfortable with new people too. I know it seems like I just walked in and got really close with everyone else, but I have to work on that too. I'd love to spend some of the day getting to know you." Laura smiles a little at the end of her speech.

I am completely and utterly shocked, as I feel a grin break out across my face. She isn't necessarily frightened by me, but the idea of me. I wrap her in a tight hug.

"I'd love that, and I'm quite sorry too, Laura. I shouldn't have treated you the way I did. But it sounds like you understand, and I can't thank you enough for that. So what do you want to do today?" I ask, releasing her and smiling down at her with some fondness.

She weakly returns my grin. "Harry Potter marathon? I haven't had one in ages, hell I haven't even seen the last two!"

I gasp in shock. She even likes my favorite movies! I throw her over my shoulder, grab a crap-ton of food and head to the back lounge, tossing her lightly on the couch and putting the 6th movie in.

"Let's start here." I say and she nods in agreement, as she snuggles into my side and we dig into the food.

Maybe this won't be so bad after all.

~Jaime's POV~

I understand why it's important for Mike and Laura to bond, but I don't like leaving them alone together. I know it's completely ridiculous because I trust them both, but I'm very protective of Laura. And while I love Mike, I know what he's capable of.

I resign to just leave them be, for goodness' sakes they're just watching Harry Potter! I walk out of the back lounge quietly and to the kitchen to see Tony smirking at me.

"Jealous, huh?" I'm taken aback by Tony's words and smirk.

"Excuse me?"

"Sit down, Jaime. We need to talk a little. I know that you're starting to have some feelings for Laura, and she's reciprocating the sentiment. I personally find it adorable. The police, however, would not. So just be careful, okay dude?"

"I-but-she-I..." I trail off, losing myself in thought as Tony pats my shoulder and walks away.
