The World Tour

My head was super fuzzy, the memories from last night just didn’t seem to want to appear.All I remember is getting super drunk, Alan turning up, me being sick, him arguing with me, him pushing me to the ground, Vic telling him to go away then Mike picked me up and took me back to my bus. I think I may have passed out in Mikes arms because after that I don’t remember a thing. I don’t remember getting changed into pj’s or even getting into bed. But somehow here I am, lying in my bunk wondering what the fuck happened to me last night.

I sat up slowly, waiting for the pain of my hangover to hit but it didn’t and I was grateful. I slid out my bunk but my feet decided they weren’t going to work so I just fell onto my ass. Tyler walked into the bunk area and noticed me on the ground. “Why are you on the floor?” He asked with a raised eyebrow.

“I think I’m paralysed” I said frantically. He chuckled slightly and walked over to me, pulling me up onto my feet but they just kept wobbling.

“You drank so much last night” He told me, I looked at him and nodded.

“Oh believe you me, I know!” I sighed. Finally my legs were working and I could hold myself up.

“You’re working again” Tyler said happily, letting go of me. I laughed and walked slowly into the livingroom area, which was filled with my band and Pierce the Veil.

“She’s alive!” Jaime said looking up at me from his phone. I smiled at them with some embarassment.

“Please don’t tell me I completely embarassed myself last night?” I asked, sitting down next to Tony and Alex. Brian looked at me and shook his head yes. “What the Hell did I do? I genuinely don’t remember much if I’m honest” I told them.

“Well, after I brought you onto the bus you wouldn’t let me go. I was basically stuck with you for about an hour as you clutched onto me” Mike said with a small laugh.

“Oh God, nice one” I laughed, biting my nails waiting for more embarassment to come.

“Once Mike left you basically stripped into your underwear and put your pyjamas on in the lounge area, fell over when putting your shorts on then lay there for half an hour singing Spice Girls songs until one of us HAD to come and help you then put you to bed” Alex finished off the story.

My eyes widened. “And that’s why I told you not to get me drunk Mike” I looked at him. He just smiled innocently and shrugged.

“Hey it’s a better story than “I went to bed at 11pm, fell asleep then woke up bright and early” isn’t it?” He asked. I just rolled my eyes and folded my arms across my chest.

“Well, it’s not my worst so it’s okay” I had to have some dignity in all of this. I stood back up and went into the bunk area to get my phone, so I climbed back up into it and pulled my comforter over me. I pulled my phone out and noticed I had a few missed calls and a couple texts. I unlocked my phone and read through it all.

Two messages from Alan.
- Lynn we need to talk about last night.
- Please call me when you wake up.

I had three missed calls from him, last one was only ten minutes ago so I must have just missed it. “You okay?” I heard a voice. I looked up and seen it was Vic standing outside my bunk.

“Yeah I’m fine” I smiled down at him. He just nodded and looked around the bunk area.

“Do you remember what happened with your boyfriend last night?” He looked up into my bunk. I moved over and patted a spot next to me for him to sit next to me. He climbed into the bunk with ease and let his legs dangle off the side.

“Yeah, I do but I don’t know if it was maybe my own fault that it went down the way it did” I sighed. I felt him staring at me but I couldn’t look at him.

“I don’t believe that for a second Lynn, he was really shitty to you and for no reason at all” Vic told me. I looked at him and then at my feet again.

“I don’t know, I know how he feels about drink. His father was an alcoholic and he beat his mother. He lived in a horrible house with no love or happiness. I shouldn’t drink” I said softly.

“Look, yeah he has a bad history with it but you’re not his dad. You are a completely different person and he raised his hand to you Lynn. Maybe it’s him whose like his father” Vic said harshly. I looked at him with anger.

“That’s not your place to say Vic” I told him sternly.

“Yeah okay, go back to him then Lynn. He obviously has anger issues and if he hasn’t already hit you then it’s gonna happen at some point” He jumped out my bunk then turned to me. “If you go back to him then I can’t help you anymore, and trust me it would kill me to see you with someone who could ever lift his hand to a woman. Don’t make a bad choice based on some stupid story about his past. Make it based on your future” He said softly.

“Maybe I don’t really have a future Vic” I mumbled, looking down at my feet.

“This is where you choose it though. Go back to him and be lonely, bored and wondering what you could have been or come with us and make something of yourself. It’s your choice” He said backing away out of the bunk area.

Since Vic spoke to me about Alan all I kept thinking about was him kissing me the other night. And I don’t understand why? Nothing was mentioned about it and we basically pretended like it never happened. Maybe it’s better that we don’t say anything about it but he has a girlfriend and from what I can tell, he barely even likes her. She seems nice though?

I sat side stage while Pierce the Veil played their set tonight. It’s always amazing watching them play live. They have a beautiful energy that I would love to capture forever. It’s funny to think I went to high school with these dorks and somehow I’m on tour with them? It’s amazing actually. I called my mom a few days ago to tell her about the tour and I explained the whole thing about Pierce the Veil being the guys and she was stunned, she was happy but really shocked. She was happy that they got themselves good careers.

They began playing Bulletproof Love which I really liked, the lyrics are so beautiful and they make you feel like someone really loves you. “My love for you was bulletproof but you’re the one who shot me” Vic sung. He looked over to me for a second then smiled. I couldn’t help but smile back, he made everything feel nicer, happier even.

Suddenly Jenna came over to me and stood next to me. “Hey Lynn” She said to me with a nice smile.

“Hey, what’s up?” I said to her while watching the stage.

“Just wanted to come and chat with you, we haven’t really gotten the chance to talk and I know you’re good friends with Vic so I thought I’d make some effort” She told me. I looked at her and smiled, she is really nice; why is Vic slowly throwing away what he has with her for me?

The set ended and Vic ran over to us, he stood in front of us with a strange look on his face. “What’re you two up to?” He questioned.

“Just chatting, I wanted to get to know Lynn a bit more since you two are really good friends” She told Vic. Vic looked down at me with a small, mischievous grin.

“That’s nice babe, I’m sure she really appreciates it” Vic said looking at his girlfriend. I looked at my feet, fighting the grin that I was wearing.

“Well, I’m going back to the bus so I’ll see you after the show finishes” She announced. She kissed Vic’s cheek then walked off. I looked up at him and bit my lip.

“I’m gonna go find the guys” I told him, turning on my heels and walking out of the backstage area. I walked to the green room and entered through the door but no one was in the room. I began to back out the room when my back hit against someone, I turned to see it was Vic. He had followed me. “Sorry” I mumbled and tried to walk around him but he stopped me.

He just stared down at me with a strange look on his face. “I need to talk to you” He said softly. I nodded and walked over the couches, where he sat down on the other end of the couch and faced me.

“What’s wrong Vic?” I asked him, he looked at me with uncertainty.

“Am I making a huge mistake by being with Jenna?” He questioned, more to himself I guess.

“I can’t really comment on that you know” I pointed out.

“Why?” He asked as if it was a dumb thing to say.

“We dated, everything I say will just sound as if I’m trying to dampen what you’ve got now. It’s just not right” I told him.

“Yeah but I really need your opinion okay, just please” He pleaded, I could see the desperation in his eyes and knew he wasn’t messing around.

“Okay, do you love her?” I asked. It felt really odd to be asking him stuff like this. A small part of me is kinda jealous, but I walked away.

“I don’t know, I don’t think so” He shrugged. “I did until this tour started and she began talking about our futures. I’m not ready to settle down and start a family with her” He said quietly.

“Is it just with her or in general?” I looked away to avoid eye contact.

“Her, the thought of marrying her and having kids with her just makes me feel really fucking odd” He sighed. “I don’t want to be in the relationship anymore. I just want out” He told me. I looked up at him and nodded.

“Then you have to tell her” I said softly. He nodded and stood up.

“I have to shower first but wait for me, I won’t be long” He walked off into the bathroom to the showers.

----

Vic walked out of the bathroom, changed and showered. His hair was dripping wet which made me laugh, he came over to me and shook his hair on me like a dog. “Hey! stop that” I laughed, trying to shield myself from the water.

He finally stopped and dried his hair off then put his hat on his head. “I’m ready to go now” He announced. I stood up and we left the room.

“Why do you wear hats so much now?” I asked curiously. He never wore them in high school.

“I don’t know, I just like them I guess” He told me. I looked at him curiously and he looked away shiftily. “I have like a tiny, really small bald spot coming on and I’m kinda insecure about it” He said softly, embarassed. I watched his cheeks flush a light pink colour.

“Oh, my God. That’s adorable!” I laughed as we walked out into the bus area.

“Hey shut up” He playfully nudged me. In return I grabbed his hat and began running away from him. “No, give me it back” He said laughing but slightly serious about it.

“No way Fuentes, until you realise you’re hairs fine I’m not giving you the hat back” I walked backwards towards his bus.

“No I’m not fooling around” He tried to say without laughing but he couldn’t stop the laughter. I walked backwards into the bus and he was too close and grabbed the hat out of my hands. He placed it on his head and we were both laughing, forgetting about everything for just a second. When the laughter died down we both kinda stared at each other, unsure of what to say or do. I couldn’t help but stare at his lips and eyes, they were so inviting. He slowly leaned in and our lips met for a brief second before a loud thud made us both jump apart. We both looked in the direction the sound came from and I noticed it was Jenna, standing outside the door of the Pierce the Veil bus.

Vic stepped back from me even more, looking at me with fear. “Vic what the Hell are you doing?” Jenna asked, marching up to him.

He looked down at his feet, unsure of what to say or do. “Look I’m sorry, I never meant for this to happen but I can’t deny that the intent hasn’t been here for a while Jenna, I’m not happy with our relationship anymore and I’ve been trying to tell you for some time. I just didn’t know how to” I slowly began moving away from the scene. Jenna turned her head to look at me.

“Don’t think you’re going anywhere, homewrecker” She said looking me up and down.

“First of all I’m not a homewrecker if there’s no home to be wrecked” I stated. I seen Vic smile slightly at the statement. “And secondly I am not getting involved in the mess that is your relationship” I shrugged.

Jenna walked over to me and looked at me strangely. “You know what, you’re right. But when you kiss someone else’s boyfriend then you make yourself involved” She folded her arms across her chest.

“Look I ain’t gonna do this tonight, sorry to break it to you.Talk to him if you’re not happy” I nodded towards Vic.

“Jenna she’s right, leave her out of this” Vic said sternly. Jenna turned around and looked at Vic.

“Sorry is there anything else you want to do to break my heart tonight?!” Jenna basically screamed. I stepped back again and suddenly Jaime and Tyler came running off the Pierce the Veil bus.

“What’s going on guys, you’re gonna attract fans round here” Jaime laughed. I looked at him and his face turned serious. “What happened?” He walked over.

“Lynn kissed Vic” She turned to Vic and acted as if she was the fucking queen.

“Okay no, it was mutual thing but fuck it what does it matter, he clearly doesn’t want you anymore” I laughed and walked over to Jaime. I felt myself being pulled back and pushed against the bus. I looked at Jenna as she stared me down.

“Say that again” She looked me dead in the eyes. Vic pulled her back but she still had a grip on me, making me fall on my ass. “Ha stay down there, it’s where you belong” She laughed. I looked up at her with so much anger, I can’t believe Vic ever seen anything in this type of person.

I picked myself up, dusted myself off, laughing as I did so then punched her in the face. Vic let her go and she fell onto her knees. “Now you stay down there, it’s where you belong” I spat at her. She looked up and me, blood beginning to pour from her lip and confusion on her face. I began to walk away when I stopped and turned back to her, “Oh and that wasn’t the first time we kissed” I laughed at her, walking backwards towards my bus I flipped her off. She got to her feet and was about to start running after me when Vic held her back. I shook my head laughed. She was pathetic.
