Mike dragged me out of the kitchen and pulled us out of earshot, “Don’t you dare Keri.”

Yes I know what I did was super bad, like unforgivable, but it was out of the blue! I didn’t expect Vic to kiss me and I didn’t expect to kiss back, at least not right away the way I did. Thank god Mike was the one who walked in and not one of the other guys. Tony still doesn’t know about Vic and I if he found out this way… I don’t even want to think about that.

“Sorry. I know. Sorry.”

“If you ever expect to keep your relationship or start a new one with Tony, you need to stay at least two feet away from Vic. Understand?”

I sighed. He was right. I still had some strong feelings for Vic and if I continued to let things like that happen again I could ruin both my friendship and relationship.

“Yeah. I understand.”

I moved into the living room and sat next to Tony. I’m pretty sure there was guilt written all over my face.

“Are you okay?” He asked.

“Yeah I’m fine. So did you guys find out who you’re touring with? Oh how do you guys like your new management? How was Michele?”

“Oh Keri everything was great. I love Michele, she’s awesome! And you’ll never guess whose headling,” Jaime began, full of excitement. “Chiodos!”

I nearly fainted. Craig Owens has my heart.

“ARE YOU SERIOUS!?” I freaked.

“So serious!”

Vic walked in with the sandwiches and a few bags of chips. “He is so serious. I’m excited to get back on the road too.”

“Who else?” I asked.

“The Devil Wears Prada, Alesana, and Simcoe Street Mob. And then we’re going to the UK right after with Blackout, and Flood of Red.” Tony said.

I was now bouncing of the couch from all the excitement I had for the guys.

“Ker Bear chill out.” Mike said with a laugh.

“I can’t! Like this is really happening again. All the blood, sweat, and tears you guys have been putting it, you deserve all of this! And you expect me to chill out?”

I threw my arms around Tony and squeezed the life out of him.

“Keri I can’t breathe.” He gasped.

I let go of him and we all laughed.

“But there is one thing Keri…” Jaime said.

“What’s wrong Jaime?”

“Well…” Mike trailed.

“Mike?”

“Long story short, we need you.” Vic put simply.

I laughed, “Well duh, we all know that.”

“No Ker Bear, we need you on tour with us.”

I groaned and placed my face in my hands, “Guuuyys.”

“But Ker-.”

“No Mike. I can’t. I have school. Maybe if you guys do a tour over the summer next year I promise I’ll come then.”

“No, no, no, no. That will not do at all.”

“Please Keri, it’s been such a long time since we’ve been together this would be tons of fun.” Jaime added.

“Michael, didn’t you just say something along the lines of-.”

“We can work something out.”

Vic glared at his brother, “What did you say?”

Mike snapped, “None of your business.”

“Boys stop. I’m not going, plus there won’t be enough room.”

Tony managed to slip his hand into mine, “Keri just say yes, this way we can spend more time with each other.”

Vic caught Tony’s actions and began to look between the both of us and our linked hands. I took my hand out of his and ran my fingers through my hair.

“Give me a few days to think about this. I’m not exactly excited about the thought of being on a tour bus with a bunch of guys. I really need to finish school and I have a boyfriend. Just a few days, then I’ll let you all know.”

I really couldn’t do such a thing. I need to finish school to achieve my dream. I watched as Mike and Vic achieve theirs and it was certainly my turn. Then again I could just take the semester off to be with them. I haven’t even began to look at my classes for the new semester. But again, why can’t they wait. I can tour with them as much as they want after I complete school. It wouldn’t hurt to take the semester off though. And there is still the matter of Aaron. Yeah, I had a lot of thinking to do.
