The Last Punch

“Alex!! Come on!! We’re going to be late!!!” I heard Emme yell from the merch area.
“Coming!!" I yelled back as I finished washing off my hands. I ran out of the bathroom to catch up to the merch workers and band members.
"Hey Alex.. I never got to finish what I was saying earlier. Do you think we could talk later? I mean tomorrow is our day off..” My mind was racing in fear of what he would say to me. Would he want to get back together? I looked at the ground and felt really uncomfortable.
“Umm, when do you wan to talk?” I asked nervously, but I didn’t think I sounded nervous.. or did I? I don’t know really.
"Any time... It'll be quick I just need to get stuff out..." Mike explained. When we got onto the bus Mike took me to the bunks and we talked quickly... Or for what was supposed to be quickly... He explained to me how he has gotten better, who he had met, his treatments and then he said he had something big to tell me.
"Alex, I know we've had a bad past... But I just want you to know that I-" We heard a honk outside and Mike slammed his fist into the bunk. "FUCK!! CAN I NOT HAVE JUST ONE MOMENT TO TELL ALEX THAT I LOVE HER?!" Mike yelled and the whole venue went dead silent. The other people outside were not making a sound. I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath.
"Mike… I don’t feel the same..." I said softly...
“You know what?! I’ve tried so hard to fix my problems.. I thought you would at least try to forgive me.. I’ve stopped drinking, I don’t smoke as much.. Really Alex..." He took off his hat and ran his fingers through his hair.
“I’m sorry.. I just… I’ve tried to forgive you but I can’t..” I said looking at the ground.
“Why?? Is it the whole I’m like your Dad thing?! I was never like your Dad until you started to compare me to him! It pissed me off! Like why the fuck would you compare me to that sadistic, abusive, fucking dick?” He was getting louder and louder. I looked to the front of the bus where Emme, Vic, Tony, and Jaime were.
“I can believe you’re blaming this on me!” I yelled back. They all came to the bunks and separated Mike and I.
“Fucking bitch!!! I can’t believe I thought you would change!! I loved you but right now it feels like you’re the one throwing punches!!” He yelled from the back of the bunks.
“It's not that easy, but it's half of the fun. And.. I saw it coming when you threw the first punch. You threw the first punch, but now it's your turn to run.” I sang/spoke/yelled at him.
“Really?! USING LYRICS NOW?” He yelled. Vic and Jaime were with him and trying to calm him down. I was laughing as I walked with Tony and Em outside of the bus. I felt awkward being with Tony at this time but I loved how he comforted me… He was great.. Sometimes I wonder if I should forgive him.. I mean he was drunk.. I shook the thought out of my head when I heard Emme trying to talk to me.
“Alex.. You okay?” She asked looking at me. I smiled and looked at her.
“I’m fine! Totally fine.” I said brushing off more thoughts of Tony. I looked at him and let out a small smile. His eyes lit up.
“I’m sorry Axl…” He said looking into my eyes. I smiled sadly and looked down.
“Alex! You okay??” I saw Nathan running over. I felt my heart drop and I could feel that Tony would become mad.
“Uh yeah Nate..” I responded.
“You sure babe? You seem sad.” I could feel Tony become mad at the word babe. He got up angrily and stood in front of Nathan.
“You may think she’s your’s.. But watch out because she’s precious to me.. Be careful.” He turned around. “Axl… I love you. I know you still love me…” Tony said looking at me with his big brown eyes. Nathan looked at him and back to me.
“I thought you loved me?” He asked confused. “Where did this guy come from anyways??” He pointed to Tony and I closed my eyes.
“Axl… Is it me or him? I can’t live my life having my heart jerked around.
“Yeah.. Me or him..” Nathan added in. I looked to Em and she shook her head. She stood up and held out her hand for me.
“Let’s go Al… You don’t have to answer right now. Just let her breathe for a bit.” I took her and and got up. When we started to walk away from the guys she looked at me. “Do you even know who you would pick?” She asked quietly, in an effort for them not to hear.
“I think I know…” I said nervously.
