Chemical Love (Craig Mabbitt Fanfic)

Chapter 11

*Anastasia’s POV*

Once we got back to the bus after their last song, I walked to the bathroom. I saw a bruise forming on my face from where Trish had hit me. My head was a bit sore from the impact to the ground but other than that there was no damage. The fight didn’t last long anyway, only a few seconds before she was pulled off of me.

I walked out and towards the bunk where I saw Kevin, in only his boxers. I rolled my eyes. What’s with these guys and not wearing any clothes? I walked to the kitchen area and got myself a drink. Taking a sip of my monster I said goodbye to the guys and headed towards the door. Yes, I am drinking an energy drink at 10pm, right before bed. Deal with it. I walked past the Falling in Reverse bus and decided to say hi. I knocked on the door with no answer. They must be asleep. I was about to walk away when the door burst open to reveal Ronnie.

‘Oh, hey,’ he greeted me with a smile.

‘Hey Ronnie. You busy?’

‘Uh no, did you wanna hang out on our bus for a while?’

‘Sure,’ I smiled at him and stepped on. Jacky, Derek and Ryan were playing Halo on the Xbox while Max sat on the couch, phone in hand. I sat down on the other couch and Ronnie sat next to me. Max noticed I was here and smiled at me, putting his phone away. I smiled back.

‘Alright,’ Derek yawned, ‘I’m going to bed. Night guys!’

‘I call dibs on his remote!’ I called sitting down next to Jacky and grabbing the controller. Derek shook his head smiling and disappeared into the bunks. I played Halo with the guys until 11 when I heard my ringtone.

‘I’d give up my eyes, to see you one last time. And I’d give up my fingertips to touch you…’

I grabbed my phone and answered without looking at the caller ID.

‘Hey Tay, where are you? We’re gonna leave to the next venue soon,’ I heard Craig on the other end.

‘Hey Craig, I’m just on the FIR bus. I’m on my way,’

‘OK, see ya babe,’ I blushed slightly at babe. No one ever called me that. I said goodbye and hung up. I got up and hugged everyone goodbye, Max being the last person. He hugged me unusually tight. OK, something’s going on with him. I heard him whisper something in my ear but I didn’t quite catch it. I ignored it for now and walked off bus heading towards the ETF bus.

Arms wrapped around me as soon as I stepped onto the bus. I laughed a little and hugged Craig back.

‘Glad you’re back,’ he said smiling, I laughed at him.

‘I was only gone an hour!’

‘I still missed you,’ he pouted which made him even more adorable. I kissed him on the cheek and walked away, to my bunk. I grabbed a shirt and sweats and changed, not caring if any of the guys saw. They would only see me in my underwear and bra. I changed and climbed into my bunk. Just before I closed the curtain TJ’s head popped up from his bunk, which was underneath mine. He winked at me making my eyes roll at his immaturity. I went to close my curtain again when Craig stopped me.

‘Can I sleep in here tonight?’ he asked a little hesitantly. I laughed a bit and scooted over so he could fit. He smiled, climbed in and closed the curtain behind him. I rested my head on my pillow as he wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me closer to his body. I breathed in his scent which always seemed to calm me.

‘Goodnight Craig,’ I smiled feeling relaxed with him.

‘Night babe,’ he kissed my head before I drifted off to sleep.

*Craig’s POV*

I heard her deep breaths even and calm telling me she was asleep. I tried to but I just couldn’t relax myself enough to sleep. My mind was buzzing with what Max said. I’ll get Anastasia. She’ll be mine, that is a promise. It made me mad but I’ll definitely put up a fight. I’m not giving up that easy, not on the girl I love. I didn’t know whether to talk to her about it or not. My eyes became heavy and eventually sleep took over.
