The World Tour

If there's one thing I didn't want, it was Vic finding out my secret. But now he has and there's nothing I can do to hide it. So what do I do now? I avoid him for as long as humanly possible. And fuck I know this isn't going to last long, there's no way I could easily avoid him for another 3 weeks, but damn I'm gonna try.

Maybe if I just stay in my bunk no one will notice me and I can just pretend to be invisible forever. Who needs to be in a band? Not me!

"Lynn, get up." I heard Brian's voice boom through the bunk area. Ugh why does he have to ruin my plans.

I ignored him and continued to cabbage in my bunk. After another five minutes passed, Michael began calling on me. "Lynn, I'm not kidding. Move your ass." He yelled. I ignored that too, hoping he'd go away.

The curtain of my bunk suddenly flew open and Michael stood there with a devilish grin on his face. "Michael please go away." I mumbled into my pillow. He reached in and dragged me out of the bunk, throwing me over his shoulder. "Michael put me down!" I shouted frantically. He didn't listen though, gliding through the bus effortlessly. He exited the bus and couldn't stop laughing hysterically.

"It's time you got outta your bunk that wasn't just for soundcheck and performing. We're worried about you." Michael said softly, then suddenly he dropped me. I waited for the cold hard concrete to hit but it didn't; instead freezing cold water engulfed me and pulled me under.

The cold water stung my skin and I let out a horribly loud scream. Everyone came out of the buses to see what all the commotion was but stopped short when they saw me in some pool. I quickly pulled myself out of the pool, water dripping from me. I was only wearing a cut off shirt that went to my thighs and a sports bra. But everything was soaking. My hair was dripping wet and my teeth were chattering, so loud it felt like they were going to break. I slowly walked through the crowd of band members towards my bus when they all began laughing, I looked towards Vic and he had a saddened look on his face. The laughter made me furious, I snapped back round towards them. "You guys are supposed to be my friends. Why are you laughing? Why is this some kinda joke to you. I was ripped from my bed and thrown into freezing cold water in the middle of February but it's okay because it's just all in good humour? What the Hell is wrong with you guys? There's clearly something wrong with me recently and every single one of you know that but here you are, all laughing at me. Thanks a lot guys." I backed away, tears beginning to form in my eyes.

I ran onto the bus and found a towel in my suitcase to dry myself off. I pulled out some jeans and a black shirt. My emotions were shot, everything was going wrong. I was heartbroken and stuck on a tour with my ex for another three weeks. I heard the bus door open and footsteps come towards the bunk area. "Lynn I'm really sorry, I didn't think it'd upset you." Michael explained. I didn't look at him, just sorted through my clothes. "Please, I'm so sorry. I just wanted to try and lighten things up a little. Involve you in some jokes but I realise I went around it the completely wrong way and I really am sorry." He begged. I stopped what I was doing and looked at him.

"Okay, I forgive you but please don't do anything like that again because right now I just kinda wanna be left alone. If I want to be involved I'll come to you guys." I told him. He just nodded and gave me a hug.

"I'm worried about you Lynn, you're not as happy as you were at the beginning of this tour." He mumbled into my hair.

"I'm just not happy in general Michael." I sighed, loud enough for him to hear. He pulled back and nodded slowly.

"I know that, but I wanna try and help you be happier. Why don't you just go and talk to Vic?" He asked, I could see the look of fear in his eyes in case I hit him for suggesting such a dumb thing.

"And what would that really solve?" I questioned him. He scratched the back of his head while he was thinking of a reason.

"Well, I know the guy is hopelessly in love with you." He mumbled. I looked at him and closed my eyes.

"We just aren't meant to be together Michael, everything has stopped us for as long as I've known him." I shrugged. Michael sighed and nodded.

"Fine be that way, just know that you're so damn lucky. You have a guy out there willing to do anything to get you back you're just sitting here saying "Oh it won't work" like it matters what your predictions for the relationship are." He began walking backwards out of the bunk area. "All that matters is that you could have a really good chance at an amazing relationship with a great guy who clearly loves you like nothing else. Why are you being so dumb?" He left the room and me to my thoughts.

Was Michael right? Maybe I should go and speak to Vic about everything.

Vic's P.O.V

I didn't find what Michael did to Lynn funny at all, she was so upset by it. I hope he apologises to her because she didn't deserve it. I know it was meant to be a joke but clearly she isn't in the mood for jokes like that. "This is a wasteland, my only retreat. With Heaven above you there's Hell over me." I mumbled to myself.

"What's wrong Vic? You seem sad." Jaime interrupted my thoughts. I looked up at him from my guitar.

"Nothing man, just been thinking about things. Choices I've made over the years." I said casually. He nodded and sat down next to me.

"Is this about Lynn?" He asked. I dunno if I should speak about my feelings for Lynn too much.

"Why do you think that?" I questioned, curious about how obvious my puppy dog love for her was.

"It's really easy to work out that you're still in love with her. It's kinda funny because you guys were great together and I was sad when she left. Then when I seen her that first day of tour I thought, maybe just maybe you guys could patch things up. The old saying goes "If you love someone set it free, and if it was truly yours it'll come back to you" and not to be presumptuous but she came back to man. That can't be a coincidence." He shrugged. Jaime was never one get deep with, his extent of conversation is usually video games and Metallica.

"For once in your life Preciado I think you're totally right." I patted him on the back.

"Jaime is always right, just not always in the correct order of what he's talking about." He pointed, the humours way that he talks about himself as if he's another person always makes me laugh. "Just go speak to her, make her see that from now on, she is all you want and that you love her. I swear it'll be worth it."

"You're right, it will." I placed my guitar back into its case and then stood up. Today we had a day off and were in the motel parking lot waiting for our rooms to be ready, hence why there was a pool for Lynn to be thrown into.

I basically ran off the bus and over to the other one and knocked on the door. Tyler opened the door and I pushed past him. "Hi Vic." He said sarcastically as I rushed through the bus.

My hands pushed through into the bunk area and I basically ran for Lynn's bunk, I pulled back the curtain hoping she would be there but she wasn't. I walked back into the lounge and Tyler stood with his arms folded across his chest. "Where is she?" I asked him.

"Well, if you had of spoken to me instead of barging past I could have told you she isn't here." He said. I let out a loud and exasperated sigh.

"Do you know where she is?" I walked over to the door of the bus.

"She went out a walk with Brian to talk about "stuff"." Tyler said using air quotes.

"I'm hopelessly in love with that girl Tyler, I just wan to make her see that. I want to make her aware that she means absolutely everything to me. The years we spent apart only made my heart grow fonder and I just want her so much." I could feel my throat begin to croak and my eyes begin to water. "I just love her." I told him.

"I love you too." I heard a small voice say from behind me. I turned around and seen Lynn standing there, a small smile on her face.

Confusion consumed me and I stared at her. "Tyler said you weren't here." I choked out.

"Tyler lied to see if you would say anything, I didn't wanna see you but then I heard you speaking and I couldn't ignore you." She said softly, pushing hair out of her face.

I walked straight up to her and kissed her softly on the lips, she reacted instantly, wrapping her arms around my neck. Her smile pressed up against my lips, making my heart flutter. She was with me, in my arms and that's all that mattered. "I'm gonna go." I heard Tyler say awkwardly.

We pulled apart and both laughed. "I'm sorry for everything. I really am." She sighed, biting on her lip. I couldn't stand to see her so vulnerable.

"Don't be, all that matters is from here on out okay." I told her, pulling her into my arms. I kissed the top of her head and took in the amazing feeling of her skin touching mine. She was finally mines again.
