This Is A Wasteland

12. Somethings Gotta Give

Song - Something's Gotta Give by All Time Low
Picture - Vic :)

So I had to pin the nightcore version of the song up top because when I searched it, all that came up was random covers and gutair tutorials so it was the closest to the original I could find :// The nightcore version is pretty bad ass too so don't fret ;)

Alysha's P.O.V

I anxiously took a sip from my hot cup of coffee before looking back down at the newspapers in front of me. It's been about a week since I found out my old job burnt down, and I still haven't found anything. At least nothing that interested me. The only things that were really available were acountant, cab driver, and a few more that were even worse than those.

I heard my phone ring from beside me and I jumped to answer. Maybe whoever it was could get my mind off of the unemployment line. "Hello?"

"Babe! Can I come over?" Vic asked. "Vic I-" I began before being cut off. "You can't say no because I'm already at your front door. Love you!" He yelled before hanging up. I rolled my eyes and flung my phone back down on the couch. It was tempting to mess around with Vic and leave him outside, but it would back fire big time. I swung the door open and before I could even comprehend what was happening, I was being spun around in a bone crushing hug. "Ally, the best thing ever happened this morning!" He yelled in excitement. "I would love to hear about it, but i'd prefer to be on the ground when I do." I giggled.

He stopped spinning me around immediantly, and carefully placed me on the ground. "Sorry, I'm just excited! Guess what?" He asked. I took his hand and led him over to the couch. He was bouncing off the walls, so it might be safer if he sat down when he told me.

"What is it?" I asked, feeling myself get slightly excited too. "Well, our manager called and said that in the future, maybe within a few weeks, Pierce The Veil and All Time Low are going on tour together!" He announced. Many emotions hit me at once. I was happy for him, but at the same time I didn't want him to leave. Does he remember what happened last time he left for tour without me?

"That's great, Vic!" I said, smiling. He frowned and took my hands in his. "You didn't let me finish." He stated. A confused expression over came by features, but I gestured for him to continue. "Alternative Press wants to do a story on the tour. What it's like to be on tour with Pierce The Veil and All Time Low. I may or may not have told them how amazing of a writer you can be, and they may or may not have said you have the job." Vic added.

Before I knew it, I had flung myself into Vic's arms. "Are you serious?! This is a once in a life time opportunity! Is this job with Alternative Press going to be a full time thing?" I asked, pulling away from our hug. "Well, they would like to see how you do on this first article. It'll all spawn from there." He said.

I nodded my head in excitement. "How long is the tour?" I asked. "Right now, they're thinking about making it at least three months." He replied nervously. Then it hit me.

I have a dog. A puppy to be exact.

"Who will watch Shasta?" I asked, scratching my thigh nervously. "Copeland loves her, right? Kellin's still in San Diego for a separate Sleeping With Sirens thing, so maybe he could watch her while you're gone?" He offered. It seemed like a good idea. I trusted Katelynn and Kellin, and Copeland and Shasta seemed to get along well. Shasta would have to adjust to his sons, but it's an easy adaptation for her.

"Sounds good." I spoke up, realizing I hadn't said anything in a while. "Great, so you're in?" He asked. I leaned in and brought my lips to his, kissing him softly. "Does that answer your question?" I asked, resting my forehead on his. His lips twitched into a smile before he brought his lips back to mine, lightly pushing me backwards on the couch.
