I'll be the Brightest, You'll See

I sat down on the edge of Vic's bed and took in his new room. It wasn't like his old one, no this one was extremely mature and presentable. No posters on the walls and a nice bed. My eyes wandered over to the beside table and I noticed there was a photo frame that was facing down. I leaned over and picked it, my breath hitched in my throat when I seen it was a picture of me and Vic about 3 months ago. It was after a show one of his friends bands played in San Diego, we both were standing at the back of the venue and Tony snapped a quick picture of us. I completely forgot all about it if I'm honest.

I placed the photo back on the table and smiled at it. Tonight was so draining and eventful. The ticking of the clock brought me back to earth and I realised how late it was. 4:09am.

Vic's bedroom door opened and he walked in slowly, the door shut behind him and smiled weakly at me. "You okay?" He asked me. I looked up at him and nodded really slowly. "I realised you don't have any good clothes here so you can wear this." He said, handing me a shirt and boxers of his.

"Thank you Vic." I said quietly. I was almost too scared to even look at him. He turned around to let me put the clothes on, which I was grateful for. I pulled off the sweater I had on and the baggy jeans I was wearing. I pulled Vic's t-shirt over my head and the overwhelming smell from his shirt brought me to tears. My heart began to break and I really don't know why. I quickly pulled the boxers over my legs then wiped away my tears. "I'm finished." I whispered to him so he could turn around.

"You look way better in those than I do." He laughed, I just rolled my eyes and laid down in his bed, pulling the covers over me. Vic began to walk out of the room which confused me.

"Where are you going?" I asked frantically. Vic stopped and turned back to look at me.

"I was gonna sleep on the couch." He told me with no emotion whatsoever.

"Stay please." I begged, sitting up and pouting a little. He didn't say anything, he just took his jeans and shirt off then climbed into bed with me. I cuddled into him and took in his scent again, which brought me to tears.

"Hey, don't cry." He said soothingly to me. He ran his hand through my hair and kissed my forehead. "She was always the one, repeat it again the one. No such thing as too young. When second chances won't leave you alone. Then there's faith in love." He sang softly to me. I've missed his voice so much. He has the most beautiful voice and I've missed it. "I love you Scarlett." He mumbled.

"I love you too." I said sleepily. I slowly closed my eyes and fell asleep in his arms, like I should.

The smell of coffee and bacon brought me back to the land of the waken. I rolled over expecting Vic to be by my side but he wasn't, which made me frown. I sat up and rubbed my eyes until they were ready to deal with the bright light of the sun.

I climbed out of bed and made my way downstairs, I've only been in this house once and it was only briefly but I found my way to the kitchen and found Vic making breakfast. He looked up from the cooker and smiled so brightly. "Good morning sunshine!" He said so cheerily.

"Morning." I told him and sat down at the island. "Since when did you make breakfast?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I've always been able to, I just chose not to." He grinned at me.

"It would've gotten you great points if you had of before." I smirked at him. He winked at me and sat coffee in front of me. "I'm scared to drink this." I said as I took a sniff of it.

"I've actually been practicing since you ripped me a part for my bad coffee in England." He told me. I smiled at him and remembered how bad it really was.

"If it's bad I'm gonna throw up everywhere." I told him, he rolled his eyes and turned back to the bacon. Jaime walked into the kitchen in only his boxers and the most ridiculous bed hair. He yawned and stretched out. When he seen me sitting at the counter he suddenly got really embarrassed.

"What are you doing here Scarlett?" He said as he quickly covered his two nipples with his fingers.

"Jaime, I've seen you naked before." I reminded him.

"Yeah when I wanted you to, I'm not in the best shape right now." He said with such a sassy tone.

"Go get dressed Hime." Vic chimed in. Jaime quickly ran up the stairs and returned within about 3 minutes fully dressed and ready for the day.

"So why are you here?" Jaime asked as he sat down next to me. Vic handed a plate of bacon, eggs and toast to me and then one to Jaime.

"Thanks." I smiled at him and grabbed one of the forks in front of me. "Shit happened. I think I should stay here for a couple days." I told him. I took a bite of my bacon and he did the same.

"You okay?" He asked with a mouthful of bacon.

"Yeah, I will be." I reassured him, looking at Vic for support. He gave me a little smile which made me blush. God, it's like I'm 17 again.

Within minutes the whole zoo piled into the kitchen, even Kiera was here. Sometimes it still freaks me out that Tony was dating my little sister. As long as he treats her right, I'm happy for them. "So how long as you staying?" Tony asked.

"A few days probably." I told him.

"I think you should stay a little longer." Mike said softly. Vic gave him a thankful look. Are they serious?

"We'll see." I said bluntly. After breakfast was done everyone began to help Vic clean up, Alysha asked to speak to me outside.

"How you doing?" She asked, a small frown planted on her face.

"I'm sad, to be blunt I wanted to die last night." I told her.

"Do you still wanna die?" Her eyebrows were knitted together with worry.

"No." I replied quickly. "He changed my mind." I said.

"I think it's good that he did. I also think it's really mature that it doesn't bother you that he was with a girl last night." Alysha said casually.

"Wait what?" I frowned.

"When Mike got your text he told Vic and he was with a girl in his bed... Didn't he tell you that?" Alysha shook her head.

"No, he didn't." I was seething with anger. I turned on my heels and stormed back into the kitchen. "So you fucked a girl in your bed merely an hour before told me you loved me and let me sleep in it?" I burst out. Vic stopped what he was doing and stared at me, realisation and regret beginning to cover his expression. Everyone quietened down and stared between us. "What kinda sick person are you? At least have the decency to wash your fucking sheets before you bring the girl you apparently love into them." I spat at him. I ran out of the kitchen, hoping I wouldn't cry. I failed.
