I Will Follow You

Kiss and Tell

I slipped out of the green room as quickly as possible. My hair was all over the place and my shirt had been ripped at the shoulder a little. I don't know why but it was pretty fucking wild for a minute there. I looked up and notice Mike was walking towards me. A grin crept up on his lips which just made me turn tomato red. "Well well well, what do we have here?" He said cocking his head to the side.

I rolled my eyes and folded my arms across my chest. Suddenly the door to the green room opened and Vic slipped out. He looked around to see if anyone noticed him and when he looked at us, the realisation hit him. His hat was sitting crooked and his cheeks were flushed. "Well, this is awkward." I mumbled and tried to slip past Mike but he grabbed onto my arm and pulled me back.

"Someone fill me in here, what's going on?" He said looking between me and Vic. Vic walked over to us, fixing his hat in the process.

"Nothing?" He said nonchalantly. Mike shook his head and began laughing.

"You guys are the worst." He grinned at us. "I won't tell anyone but like, aren't you with Sarah?" Mike looked at his brother.

"We broke up." Vic said softly. I looked at him and he didn't look at me. Weird.

"I'm all for it guys." Mike smiled genuinely at me. "But Scarlett you gotta tell Patrick." He said giving me a hard look. Mike walked off into the green room leaving me and Vic standing in the hallway ourselves.

"Tell Patrick what?" Vic spoke up. I looked at him and then dropped my gaze to the floor.

"Patrick kinda confessed his love for me." I said quietly, hoping he didn't hear me.

"When?" He frowned. I didn't see it but I knew from when way he asked.

"About 2 weeks ago." I told him, finally looking up. As soon as I seen the look on his face I regretted looking up from the beautiful linoleum floor.

"Oh, okay." He shrugged and began to walk off.

"Is that it?" I asked after him. He stopped walking and turned on his heel.

"What do you want me to say?" He shook his head. I frowned at his whole reaction and walked up to him.

"I don't know maybe give me your opinion." I suggested to him. He just gave me a small smile, which confuses me even more.

"It's not like didn't already have an idea." He smiled even more after saying that.

"Did everyone know?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"We all had a hunch." He laughed, looking behind me for a split second. "Why did you think I always got so jealous of him when we weren't together." He grinned at me.

"I just thought you were a jerk." I shrugged, smiling at him a little.

"Nah I thought he would bag you before I did so I kinda always envied him." He laughed, looking at his feet. "I was in too deep with the acting like I hated you thing."

"That's sweet but I wouldn't have thought of Patrick like that. I mean we kissed when he told me and it wasn't horrible." I told him and then I instantly regretted it the second the words left my lips. I could tell how jealous it made him. "But it was shit, I hated it." I lied quickly.

"He's got nothing on me babe." He smirked down at me, leaning in and kissing me quickly. I placed my hands on his shoulders and kissed him back.

"You're right he doesn't." I whispered against his lips. "But he sung One Direction to me and made me feel like a princess." I told him, knowing it would wind him up.

I looked up at his eyes and he had a hint of jealously in them. "He can kiss you and sing poppy love songs to you all day long, but we all know who you're gonna come crawling back to at the end of the night." He mumbled, capturing my lips in his. He softly bit my bottom lip, which was different but it was really erotic.

He suddenly pulled back from me and walked off down the corridor, leaving me baffled and somehow turned on, again.

I walked onto the bus after the show was over and everything was packed up. Everyone was going out again tonight but I felt extremely hungover still so I didn't wanna go. The bus was basically in darkness so I tried to find the light switch but to no avail. I pulled my phone out of my pocket turned the torch on to look for the light switch.

Suddenly an arm snaked around my waist. I turned on my heel and found it to be Vic, of course. "What are you doing here?" I asked him. He just smiled sweetly at me.

"I decided not to go out tonight." He said letting me go.

"Why not?" I continued to question him, secretly I was happy he didn't go.

"Wanted to spend time with you." He said grabbing my hand and leading me over to the couch. I still hasn't put the lights on.

"We can't even see anything." I laughed. Vic sighed and went over to the wall and flipped a switch so effortlessly. The lights came on and I could finally see him.

"Happy now?" He asked.

"Yeah, very happy." I couldn't take the grin off my face by this point.

"Are you talking about the lights being on or in general?" Vic asked as he came over and sat next to me.

"Both." I leaned my head on his shoulder and smiled to myself. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and kissed the top of my head.

"I'm happy you're happy Scarlett." He whispered to me.

I got out of my bunk and got dressed as quickly as possible. Today we were back in LA and the guys were doing some press stuff, I on the other hand decided to meet up with Alysha. "Have fun with my ex." Mike said with a sad look on his face. I looked at him and frowned. I wish they'd just get back together already.

"Have fun with my ex." I winked at him. Vic walked into the kitchen and gave us a funny look.

"What are you talking about?" He asked as he sat down in the booth across from Mike.

"Oh nothing." I smiled sweetly at him, I then walked over and pulled his hat off his head and threw it on my own head. I caught a glimpse of myself in a mirror (I know it's weird to have a mirror in a kitchen but these guys were so vain) and grinned. "Looking good." I winked at myself.

Mike and Vic both laughed at my actions and I left the room, totally happy and at peace for once. Today was definitely going to be a good day.
