Bulletproof Love

Emily’s POV:

We had only been cleaning for ten minutes when I heard a voice behind me that I knew didn’t belong to Jaime. “Emily, what are you doing back? I thought you were going to go out with your brothers? Also who’s the guy with big hair in the kitchen?” Shit. I thought. I turned around to see my best friend Cameron standing right in front of me wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around her body. “Oh, um hey Cam, totally forgot you were here. Um that’s Jaime and we are having a party here tonight.” I said scratching the back of my neck. “Himes this is Cameron she was staying with me while Vic and Mike were gone.” I said introducing the two. “Jaime” he said and held out his hand. She shook it and said “I’m Cameron, but apparently I have a party to get ready for so I must go!” she said and with that she ran off. “Jaime shut your mouth you’re going to catch flies.” I laughed and watched as his cheeks turned bright red.

“The beer is here!” I heard Vic yell before running up the stairs followed by Tony and Mike who were also carrying more alcohol then I knew we needed. I quickly walk over to help them arrange our drinks. I smiled at Tony and gave him a quick wink before walking to the room where Cameron was now applying her makeup. “Cam I’m in love. And I hate it so much!” I said as I threw myself onto the bed. “Aw little Emmy’s got a thing for a band member!” she said as she sat down next to me. “No Cam, not just any band member. Tony.” I said and then I smiled. Like an idiot. “Well is he going to be here tonight?” I nodded slowly and she ran straight to the closet. “Put this on!” she said handing me a pair of ripped skinny jeans and a sweater. “Ugh. Cam.” She didn’t give me time to say any more she literally forced it on me. “You look good.” she smirked. Then her look got more serious and she leaned in closer to me. “Is that Jaime guy single?” I laughed “Yes and I think he could be pretty into you” I said with a wink, she literally started freaking out and running around. Once we were finished with our makeup and our outfits and of course talking about boys we walked out. “Hey guys this is Cameron. She’s been staying with me while you’re on tour” I said pointing to her. Mike, Vic, and Tony said their hellos and then we sat down. “Tall guy with tattoos and stretched ears is totally checking you out!” she whispered. “That’s Tony.” I mumbled and she gave me a light punch.

Jaime’s POV:

This Cameron girl walked into the room with Emily and I couldn’t keep myself from staring at her. She was so beautiful. Emily introduced her and I watched her every move. The way her long brown hair sat on her shoulders. Her smile, it was such a shy smile, but so pretty. She didn’t have any tattoos or piercings she literally looked the opposite of Emily. I think I was starting to fall for her. Damn.

Emily’s POV:

People started to piling into the house around 11:30. Eventually my house was full of the warped tour bands. As I was walking to the kitchen my eyes locked with Kellin’s and he quickly ran over. “Em please sing with me” he said slurring his words. “Kells you’re drunk. Not tonight” he frowned and then walked away to grab another beer. I was reaching into the cooler when I felt another hand grab mine. I was spun around in no time and found myself facing Tony. He leaned down and kissed my forehead “I’ve been waiting to do that all night” I felt his warm breathe hit my forehead. I smiled and tugged on his hand hinting for him to follow me. He looked confused at first and then lightened up. I led him outside and down the street to a park. We sat on the swings in silence for a while. “I came here every day after school when my dad died. He was buried in the cemetery over there” I said pointing to my left. “I always thought what a stupid idea to put a park right next to a cemetery. But when he was gone I couldn’t pull myself to go visit his grave, this park was the closest I’ve been to him since he died. I would sit here for hours talking to him” I felt a tear slip down my cheek which was quickly wiped away my Tony’s hand. He cupped my face and whispered. “It’s okay Em. He would be so proud of what you’ve overcome.” I gave him a weak smile. “Did Mike tell you?” he slowly nodded and I sat back in my swing. “One day when I was at school some girl tripped me in the hall. She kept calling me all these names and I couldn’t help it I just wanted to be gone. So I ran out of the door and realized that if I went home Vic would be mad at me for skipping. So I stopped here. I sat here for an hour crying. I was ready to be done, nobody wanted me around, and life was literally just living hell.” I was crying now. “Em” he whispered and then pulled me into a hug. My tears soaked into his shirt as he rubbed circles on my back. “I’m so glad I met you Tony.” I pulled away and looked up at him. He didn’t respond he just kissed me. I was shocked at first and then kissed him back. He smiled into the kiss and I couldn’t help but giggle. For the first time in my life I’m truly happy. Here I am kissing Tony on the swings at midnight. I wouldn’t change a thing.
