Chapter 4

Vic hasn’t called me in a few days; which is standard but I couldn’t help but feel like something was wrong and the more I worried the more I questioned myself about liking him. Sure he’s my best friend, he gets me and he probably knows me more than I know myself but it would feel so weird to like him right? I mean the last time I remember having feelings for Vic was the moment his kissed me.
Him placing his soft hands on my cheeks, gently cupping my jaw and smoothing the tears off my cheeks bone with his thumb. He had stepped closer to me; hardly any space separating us and I could feel his head radiating off of his body. Feelings had rushed over my; I was paralyzed and his deep brown eyes kept me hypnotized. Then he slowly leaned in; scaring me but then again when he placed his rose felt lips on mine, it was like a security blanket was placed over me.
The kiss was amazing; but it ruined our friendship and nothing was ever the same. I felt so much more for Vic after that; but he just stopped caring as much as he did. I felt like I was just some childhood blanket that he needed whenever he needed it. I was around when he needed me and ignored when he didn’t. I longed our close friendship from before but he just seemed to forget about all the good times and focus on the entire mistake I made and all the flaws.
I was sat on a rock by the beach; looking out on the water by myself and my phone in my hand. I suddenly started crying but I missed my Vic; the Vic who would call me every day when I moved back to Canada. The one who would call me at three am to sing me something he wrote. I wanted the Vic who surprised me on my birthday; took me to see a Lacrosse game in Toronto and bought me a music note necklace. I wanted him to look at me, care for me again, joke with me, act silly and cuddle me. I longed for his touch, his smile, his bright eyes and as much as I don’t want to admit it his kiss. I missed when he made me feel like I was the only girl in the world, the only person in the crowd and the most beautiful person he has met.
I was going to see Vic tomorrow; their new album was coming out tomorrow and I promised I’d come see them. Two more weeks and I had to go back to work; which was good. And if you wanted any news about Eric, there isn’t any because he too has not contacted me. Am I like male repellant? Because I would like to know before I get close to anyone else of the male species.
I hadn’t even noticed it was raining; so I got back up and walked back to the beach house. The house was quiet; there was a note of the fridge saying that the girls went out with some friends. This was fine with me; because I wasn’t really in the mood to go anywhere. I decided to grow some balls and call Vic, and then if he didn’t answer I would have to pull out the big guns and call Mike. It took me a few seconds to debate with myself; was I really going to do this? Yep; my phone lit up and I pressed it to my ear.
Five or six rings later; the call was declined and I began to tear up. So I called Mike, he didn’t answer either. Neither did Tony or Jaime, or Casey. That’s when I burst out into tears; what was going on? I wanted to talk to my friends and no one was answering. I sobbed into a pillow until I thought of calling Ashley their tour assistant AKA my sister from another mister.
“America! I haven’t talked to you in so long!” I heard her squeak, I smiled feeling better than at least she picked up.
“I know Ashley! It’s been too long! I’m coming in tomorrow so we should hang during the band’s set but I was just wondering if the boys were playing a show right now.” I asked, trying to mask my voice from showing any signs of distress.
“Uh, no – they’ve been sitting in the back lounge of the bus yelling at each other for the past hour”
“Oh, just I called them and they all declined my call, I just thought maybe –“
“Would you like me to get them?” She asked, and I choked out. “Sweetie, are you crying?”
“She’s crying?” I heard a voice whisper and I choked out some more.
“Sorry, I’ve just been having a bad day and I thought that maybe talking to someone would help but I guess they really didn’t want to talk to me, so it’s okay”
“Oh, honey you can talk to me – they’re just assholes who are being extremely ignorant right now” Ashley growled and I felt as though she wasn’t just directing that into the phone.
“Uh, my mom called” Which was true.
“What did she want?” Ashley asked and I laughed sarcastically.
“Just to tell me that my father and her are sending someone down to take my car away after summer ends” I explained and Ashley gasps.
“They can’t do that!”
“They can’t do what!?!” I heard another whisper.
“The car is in their name; I would have changed it if I had known but they are obligated to take it back”
“Oh honey, anything else”
“I’m not feeling to great and no offense to you but I was hoping Vic would answer but I’m sure it wouldn’t be like I thought it would” I explained, not even sure I knew what I was saying or even if it made sense.
“What do you mean?”
“I miss him, you know? I mean I get to see Vic, but I don’t get to see the Vic that I knew in high school”
“People change”
“But that does not mean he can treat me like I’m some childhood toy that he needs when he needs it and throws it back in storage when he doesn’t – I’m sick of feel like this Ashley and I don’t think I can do it any longer”
“Do you mean you don’t want to be friends with him anymore?” Ashley asked and I sighed.
“Ashley, if I knew I would tell you” I said, repeating the last three words to her again.

Vic’s POV
“What did she mean by that?!” I yelled at Ashley, angry confused and hurt.
“I don’t know Vic, but whatever you have done you’ve screwed up bad” Ashley continued and I almost yanked my hair out. “Why didn’t any of you pick up when she called?”
“Vic told us not to!” Casey squealed and I gave him a death stare.
“Vic, she needed her best friend today and I guess your actions proved her point to me”
“What are you talking about?” I asked, so confused.
“Vic, she said you’re taking advantage of her, making her feel like she is your charity case and that you aren’t acting like and I quote ‘her Vic’” Ashley explained and I groaned. “You need to call her”
“I don’t need to do anything!”
“Bro, yes you do!” Mike stepped in. “She is my friend too! She’s like my little sister and you’re acting like a douchebag, you didn’t tell her that Ray was coming, you did even tell her you had a girlfriend!” Mike yelled and I flinched.
“She never listens to me! She just goes off and acts like some drunk slut all time time! What am I supposed to do!?”
Everyone looked at me in silence, I hadn’t comprehended what I had said until Ashley slapped me in the face.
“When you find my brother, tell me” Mike said straight to my face and started walking to his bunk again as I rubbed my face.
“Vic, did you ever think she goes against your wishes to get your attention?” Casey spoke up, and I shook my head.
“Why would she need my attention?”
“Because she likes you god dammit, and you like her too! That’s why you’re afraid to talk to her! You’ve avoided that kiss for too long and if you don’t talk about it tomorrow so help me Victor I will punch so hard in the gut that you’ll never eat hot sauce again” Jaime lectured and when to his bunk.
“Tony?”
“Vic, you need to be there for her – like she was there for you”
I sat there in silence, tears threatening to spill and I looked at my phone once again.
One missed phone call from God Bless America
My finger hovered over the call back button.
Should I call her back?

Notes
