"Tony I don't think I can do this" I panicked while we sat in the car outside of my aparment.

"Do you love Mike?" He asked me. I could tell he was getting annoyed now, we'd been out here for ten minutes.

"Yes"

"Do you love Travis?" He stared at me, waiting for an answer. I squeezed my eyes shut and shook my head no. "That is why you need to do this. It's not fair to Travis. From what you've been telling me, he's a great guy and he doesn't deserve the shit he has coming for him right now. Whether you want to break up with him or not, you will. I'm not letting you stay with someone who doesn't make you happy. Travis deserves to be with the person he belongs with just like you deserve to be with Mike."

I opened my car door and walked up with Tony to the apartment door, unlocking it and letting myself in when I reached it.

"Travis?" I called.

"Hi babe!" His head popped up from the couch with his boyish smile playing on his lips. "Is that?..."

"Hey, I'm Tony" Tony smiled and shook his hand after Travis made his way to where we were standing by the edge of the couch.

"Travis" He said, he looked amazed "I'm a really big fan of your music" He laughed awkwardly, shoving his hands into his pockets and rolling on the heels of his feet. "How do you know Vicky?"

"Oh, I've known this loser since she was seventeen" He grinned and messed up the hair ontop of my head.

"Stop it Anni" I whined sitting on the loveseat next to the couch. Travis gave me a weird look. "We really like Star Wars, obviously, so I call him Anakin, aka Anni and he calls me Padme. Tone, do you think
you could, uhm..."

"Yeah no problem. Call me if ya need me" He said walking out onto the balcony. Travis joined me on the loveseat.

"Victoria, why is he here?! This is so weird" He looked worried and scared at the same time even though there was no reason to, yet.

"Travis I need to talk to you..."

"Did you and Tony...uhm...ya know..." He trailed off.

"Oh god no! Oh my god he's one of my best friends from San Diego" I took a deep breath so I could get this all over with. "Travis, you know how I told you about my ex boyfriend back in San Diego?" He nodded slowly "Well, my ex, he happens to be, uhm, Mike Fuentes. The drummer from Pierce the Veil"

"Victoria...where were you yesterday?..." Travis' face fell and he looked as if he was going to cry.

"I-I went to warped tour" Isaid quietly.

"To see him? How long have you been doing this!" He yelled the last part at me.

"No! Travis! I went to visit Vic, Jaime, and Tony. I was planning on avoiding him, but we saw each other
before anyone else and we started fighting and I panicked and he took me back to the bus so he could-"

"What!? So he could fuck you right!?" His voice cracked as he screamed.

"No! So he could help me calm down! He's the only one who can!" I screamed back.

"So what the fuck are you trying to tell me!"

"Well we talked for a long time. Travis, you're such a great guy, but I'm not right for you. I still love
Mike..."

"Oh really? That's wonderful! Were you still in love with your boyfriend before Mike when you were three years into you relationship?" He spat out.

"Travis please-"

"How do you still love someone after they just ignored you for three years! What if he does this again, huh?" Travis slammed his fist against the back of the couch.

"Stop Travis" I said quietly.

"How can you expect me to stop!" He grabbed my wrists and pinned them down to the couch between us. "My girlfriend just told me that she wants to leave me for some other fucking idiot!"

"Travis you're hurting me stop!" I cried.

"I should have known there was something wrong with you! I could never get you to open up!"

"Tony help!" I screamed. My wrists felt like they were shattering in his grip. I heard the sliding glass door
slam open and Travis was on the ground in an instant, unconscious. Tony was shaking out his hand and
he pulled me to my room with the other.

"Get the things you're taking with you, he'll be out long enough" He said locking the door behind us. We both piled things into my four suitcases quickly before I got my carrying cage for Crookshanks, who looked up from the bed at me with sleepy eyes.

"C'mon baby, we're going home" I mumbled to her as I picked her up and placed her in the cage.

She glared at me from behind the bars and meowed in disapproval. I pulled one of Travis' unpacked boxes out of the closet and dumped all his things on the ground then filled it with my things. I'd never packed so fast in my life. There weren't many of my things here anymore, most of it was put into a storage unit when I moved in with Travis. When I had everything packed I looked around the room with a blank expression. This was it.

"Vicky is that it?" He said softly.

"Yeah, I think so. Everything else is in storage and I've got the only key to it so it's fine. I'll get it when I
can."

We each carried two suitcases out to the car and placed them in the trunk and backseat. When we came
back inside, Tony took the box and I carried Crookshanks cage.

"What am I going to do about Crookshanks..." I mumbled as Tony drove back to the empty venue.

"Kevin will let you keep him there, we can keep her in the back lounge. The tour is over in a week" Tony
held my hand while he drove.

"I didn't expect him to do that...I'm so sorry Tony"

"No. You don't need to be sorry. He's an asshole for doing that, granted I don't blame him for being upset, he should never have even thought about touching you." He parked my car behind their bus
"Before we go in, has he ever done that before?"

"Never. I was more surprised then you" I laughed awkwardly and got out of the car with Crookshanks cage in my hand.

"I'll carry her, go see Mike." Tony said taking the cage from my hands.

I ran onto the bus and Mike was standing in the middle of the lounge. I found myself crying immediately.

"You've only been gone for two hours" Mike said confused.

"It was bad. Mikey it was so bad" I cried as he wrapped me in his arms.

"Shhhh. What happened baby?" He picked me up and sat on the couch with me curled up in his lap.
Tony walked past us with the cat in her cage and went to the back lounge.

"H-he started screaming a-and he g-grabbed my wrists. It h-hurt s-so bad Mikey"

"It's okay baby you're gonna be fine. We're together now, you're with me, and I love you. That's what this is baby" He poked at the locket resting on my chest "Together" he whispered to me.

I didn't have to worry about Travis doing that ever again. It was horrifying, even though it was the first time it had happened. I couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if I never came yesterday. What if he did that and we were still together. I'd be stuck. Nothing mattered anymore though, I was in love Michael Christopher Fuentes and we were together again. That was what it all came down to.
