Queen For A Day

VIC’S POV
As soon as she’d hugged me in my house the day we’d left it started. This weird warm feeling in my heart that made me smile at the very thought of her and want to make all the wrongs right between us. And I hated it. I was falling head over heels for her, and I didn’t want to. If I fell in love with her it would ruin everything. I couldn’t be with her and our child while I continued in this job, I would be such a letdown. I know that I wouldn’t be around for enough time to look after our child as a father should, and aside from that, there’s no way I could be there enough for Cali. If we stayed like this then at least our child would get used to me and Cali being in different places, I’m just scared that they’ll both end up relying on me too much.
As soon as we’d left for tour I’d chosen to put her out of mind as much as possible, which was hard. I think Mike talked to her a bit, but if he did, he didn’t mention it to me. I was grateful she didn’t try to talk to me. Part of me wanted nothing more to hear her voice, but I also knew we just couldn’t be close.
Three weeks into the tour we got a new Merch girl. Rayne had completely thrown herself at me, and although I did find it annoying she was a great distraction from Cali. And that’s the only reason I asked her to be my girlfriend. The guys all hated me for it and I don’t blame them, I hated myself for it.
I was laying in my bunk with Rayne when my phone started ringing. The blonde girl was just dozing off to sleep but I’d been wide awake, staring at her, hoping she’d magically turn into Cali.
“Hello, Vic speaking,” I said into the phone, not bothering to check the number.
There was a pause “V-Vic?” A woman’s voice stammered.
I held the phone away from my ear to see whose name was on the screen. The name I read suddenly made me feel incredibly guilty.
“Cali?” I whispered, trying not to wake Rayne beside me.
“Hi Vic, sorry for calling, If you’re busy I can go!” the words she said sounded rushed, like she was freaking out at the thought of interrupting me. She’s so cute.. But I needed to get away from Rayne.
“Um, just give me a sec,” I climbed out of my bunk and walked to the back lounge, realizing I was only wearing underwear.
“So why are you calling? Is everything ok?” I dropped myself down onto the couch and closed my tired eyes.
“Yeah I just had my first ultrasound, and I guess I was just thinking about you,” I could hear a guilty smile in her voice.
“Oh nice, how was it?” damn I’m a horrible person, all I wanted was to be with her, but now I have a fucking girlfriend.
“Fine I guess, I didn’t want to know its gender, do you want to though?”
The thought of our baby girl or boy definitely intrigued me, but I had to be honest with myself.
“Um, nah I guess I’d rather it be a surprise,” I said honestly.
“Ok, how’s tour?” Cali barely missed a beat, the whole conversation seemed quite forced.
“Vic,” Rayne’s voice floated through the closed door.
“It’s good, look I gotta go, thanks for calling but I’m pretty busy,” I leaned forward and whispered into the phone. Rayne doesn’t even know Cali exists.
“Right, sorry um, talk later then, or not!” Cali chuckled.
I couldn’t respond. I didn’t know how to respond. I didn’t want to talk later at all, it would just lead to more feelings.
“Ok bye.” I heard Cali drop the phone and then let out a loud sob. “Why is it so hard to talk to him?! I think I must be falling for him,”
Fuck.
I don’t think she meant for me to hear that.
That’s it, there’s no way I can talk to her now, if she’s starting to feel the same way I am it can and will only end badly, and there’s no way in hell I’m letting that happen.

Notes
