Hold On 'Til May - Fuenciado

Chapter Fourteen

[Tony]

I laid down in my bunk, just wanting to get away. It wasn't that I wanted to get away from a person, because I wish I could spend forever with Mike, but my head was killing me. I closed my eyes, just relaxing, and started to drift off, but someone mumbling and shuffling kept me from falling asleep. I sighed and got up, deciding it was probably better not to sleep now anyways. The person continued to mumble, with a few odd sniffles. Were they crying? I looked around, deciding it was Jaime, because his bunk was the only one with the curtain closed. I walked over to his bunk, and quietly opened the curtain. He had kicked off his blanket in his sleep, if he had it on in the first place, and I noticed his leg was covered in cuts... I thought he stopped that? I let out a worried sigh, was this Vic's fault? Stupid Vic and Kellin, anyone with eyes and/or ears could tell Jaime and Vic were made for each other. I liked Kellin as a friend, but him and Vic just didn't seem... right I guess. I tapped Jaime's shoulder and said his name. "Jaime?" he shifted towards me, so I assumed he had woken up some. "Jaime, what's wrong?" I shook him, and he cringed away from me. "Jaime!" I said louder, hoping to finally get a response out of him. Jaime's eyes snapped open and he took in a sharp breath.

"Tony?" he asked.

"Yeah, it's me." He sat up and looked at me, and tears started to form in his eyes.

"What did you dream about Jaime?" He told his dream to me, and I wanted to slap him for ever thinking that way, but of course I wouldn't. "Jaime, Vic really does like you..."

"But... but Kellin said he didn't... Kellin said he lied..." I shook my head with a sigh. Was Kellin really so worried? Okay, he had reason to be, but that's just a dick move, lying to Jaime like that.

"Jaime, trust me. I wouldn't lie to you. Vic's talked to me about how he feels about you. Kellin's lying, Vic's not." I pulled him in for a hug, rubbing my hand on his back. "Just ignore Kellin, he's probably just jealous after seeing the way Vic looks at you."

"The way Vic looks at me?" Jaime questioned.

"Yeah, have you never noticed? He looks at you differently than everyone else. You can see it in his eyes that he's in love with you Jaime..." Jaime smiled weakly. I whispered the next part to Jaime, "oh, and please please please, try not to get back into the habit of that again..." I tapped his leg, the one I knew he didn't harm, as not to hurt him. He looked up at me worried.

[Vic]

"Kellin's lying, Vic's not. Just ignore Kellin, he's probably just jealous after seeing the way Vic looks at you." I heard Tony say as I approached the bunks. What was Kellin lying about exactly?

"The way Vic looks at me?" Did I make it that obvious?

"Yeah, have you never noticed? He looks at you differently than everyone else. You can see it in his eyes that he's in love with you Jaime..." I'm in love with Jaime... yes, I'm in love with Jaime... but god damn Jaime and his mixed emotions keep me from having him.

"You... saw?" Whatever Tony had said before must have been whispered, because I had no clue what Jaime was replying to.

"It's alright Jaime, it happens to the best of us, just please try not to... and I'm always here for you, and so is Mike, no matter what the problem is." I would be too... but sometimes it seems as though I AM the problem, so he probably didn't want to hear that... "Oh and dude, what happened to your eye?" Jaime's eye? What was wrong with Jaime's eye?

"Nothing man, don't worry about it..." I realized that I was still standing outside the bunks, and if they were to walk out right now, they'd know I was eavesdropping. I continued walking into the bunks, pretending as though I hadn't heard anything they had just said.

"Hey Vic!" Tony waved at me, and I waved back.

"Hey Tony," I looked at Tony then looked at Jaime, putting a big smile on my face. "and hey Jaime!" Jaime smiled and waved, and I saw his face. "Dude, what happened to your eye?!"

"Aww, nothing, just walked into... something." Jaime said unconvincingly. Tony looked at him and his mouth dropped open.

Tony leaned over and whispered something in Jaime's ear. When Tony was finished, he got a sad look on his face and nodded softly.

[Jaime]

"Oh my god... it was Kellin wasn't it?" Tony whispered in my ear. I couldn't help a sad look. No sense in lying to Tony, so long as he keeps it a secret. I nodded. "THAT BITCH!" he yelled.

"Hey guys, no keeping secrets!!" Vic pouted, sticking out his lip. I couldn't help a little smile; I wish I could kiss those lips of his. When I thought he wasn't looking, I snuck a look down his gorgeous body.

"Eyes to yourself Jaime!" Vic joked with a laugh, catching me staring at him. I blushed and looked down at my hands, which were in my lap. I noticed Vic bit his lip.

"Well guys, I'm going to go do... something. Not sure what yet, but if you guys wanna come help me decide, feel free to!" Vic looked at me, and our eyes met.

"I think I'll just stay here and watch a movie?" Vic replied, looking at Tony. "Care to join me Jaime?" He smiled and held out his hand to me, offering me help up.

"Sure!" I took his hand and he led me to the couch, his hand over his shoulder. We sat down and Tony called out bye over his shoulder as he shut the door. I looked at Vic and he smiled at me.

"What movie would you like to watch?"
