A Match to Water

Until She's Satisfied

Ridley’s P.O.V. 

Moving around on the couch I see that Tidal is gone, I feel my heart start to race. Where did she go. I stand up fast and start looking around the house. Upstairs and downstairs I looked. Did she leave...? To go to her old house...? I dash into the kitchen and see a small note on the counter. Grabbing it I start to read it. 

Morning my friends, hope you had a good sleep. Judging by how you were out you ate well too. :) I am at a Sleeping With Siren’s concert in town. That is where I will be till about 5, the concert starts at 1. So yeah.. Later! -Tidal 

I let out a sigh of relief, she wasn’t at her old house. But she was at a concert and she didn’t wake me up? Ruuuude. I flip on the tv and start to watch the news, nothing good was on. Nothing was good with the news, always deaths and killing. This world is a mess. I go through the channels and find the old Pokemon series, I find myself smiling. I wish Tidal was here..

I wish I could wrap my arms around her. But she is happy right now, and that is one of the best things for her..

Tidal’s P.O.V.

Once the concerts over I was able to meet all of the members. I literally waited in the line with Star for over 2 hours, but it was worth the wait. Seeing all the members of Sleeping With Sirens. Kellin, Justin, Gabe, and Jack, it was just amazing.. Like for those who have met them, you know it’s amazing. I get a picture with all of them, and get my t-shirt signed. And with the picture’s, since I can’t take serious pictures I get a funny ones. We all did a funny pose, and the light went off. I smile and give them all hugs, when I hug Kellin I say too him. 

“I really love your new song, it’s so amazing..” he smiles and rubs my head. I move my hand to fix my hair and he stares down at me. I gulp and put my hand how, he gives me a smile. Reaching into his pocket he pulls out a bracelet, its one from his store he joined along with other bands. (nevertakeitoff.bigcartel.com) he takes my wrist and slides on the bracelet. It had black string with a silver heart, and a silver piece with x crosses against it. 

“Just a reminder the next time you ever feel like cutting remember the song, and how people and music can help you through painful times.” he says pulling his hands away from my wrist. I feel tears start to form in my eyes, he opens his arms and I gladly go into them. I cry for a little bit but then I feel calmed by him. Drawing back I whip my tears and smile up at him. 

“That’s better..” he says smiling down at me. I walk away from the band as others start to get picture’s with them. Star smiles and pokes my side, I let out a small yelp. 

“You got to see Kellin..” he says raising his eyebrows at me. I flick his nose, he let out a small whimper. “Rude..” I laugh at his simple statement. Walking out of the concert I decide to ask Star something.

“Are you still single?” he stops walking and scratches his head. Giving me a unsure smile he blurts out.

“Yes.” he says dragging his pointer finger down his face, acting like he is crying. I smile and dance happily at his answer. Poking his cheek I smile at him. 

“I can get you unsinglized.” I say winking at him, a blush forms on his face. He cute and shy, adorableness. CC will be happy, and I hope Star will be happy. 

Getting off the bus we head too my house, I feel Star’s hand go around mine. It wasn’t that interlock like with couples, it was a friends holding. Not serious or uncomfortable, just a sign that the other was scared or needed someone. Which I don’t blame Star for being like this, new house, going to meet new people. It made sense in my mind.

“Ready too meet my friends I have made Star?” I ask him, he gives a small nod to my question. I think I just made it worse for him, but once he sees everyone he won’t be as terrified. Knocking on the door I hear heavy footsteps coming toward the door, and it was Ridley. He smiles widely but then that face turns to confused.

“Tidal...who is he?” Ridley asks, I look to my side and see that Star is hiding behind me. I jerk him in front of me and smile.

“This is Star, he’s one of my childhood friends from my old house,” I see the shine in Ridley’s eyes start to fade away, “don’t worry, he likes guys.” I say bluntly, and the light in Ridley’s eyes comes back. Star elbows me in the side.

“You didn’t have too say it like that..” he says giving me a huge pouty face, I poke his nose and laugh. Ridley grabs my other hand and takes me in, this feels weird; getting pulled on one and dragged by another. Going inside I see CC with a huge tub of strawberry ice cream with Magma and Adi cuddling watching American Horror Story. I smile and jump up on the couch with Ridley following behind me, I see Star sit close to CC. He leans over and asks. 

“Can I have some ice cream?” he asks so innocently, CC looks over and I promise it was like wham. Or zham. They got connected like that, CC handed over his spoon and tube. 

“Sure..” he whispers quietly, I could only squeal as the two couples were starting to share ice cream. So cute. I sigh sitting down on the couch, Ridley wrapped his arms around my waist.

“Is that why he came?” he asks, his voice slightly monotone which is odd. I turn and face him, giving him a nod.

“Yes, he has always been gay, and it kind of cute how he acts..,” I stay starting to see them feed each other ice cream. I smirk then, I remember the question I was going to ask. “Ridley.. are we actually dating..?” I ask him, his face becomes bright red.

“Um.. I guess?” he asks nervously, I shake my head and give him a small kiss. His red face goes away fast, that was the answer I was looking for.

“So yes?” I say, he nods his head and buries it in my shoulder. Rubbing his nose against my neck it sends shivers up and down my body. Electricity. He stays here and keeps a tight grip on me, I keep watching the episode till it ends. Tate and Violet are just so cute together. Same with Misty and Ash, it’s just like..so sweet and somewhat innocent. Somewhat.

Looking around I see CC and Star holding hands, along with Magma and Adi starting a make out session. I smile and kiss Ridley’s head. All this, I was happy with.

Only a few hours later everyone is wanting too go somewhere, which that is to the park. Wait let me rephrase that, the skate park. I know, there’s one around here thats close! I dash up stairs I change into some clothes that actually matched. A Pokemon shirt that had Eevee on it, black skinny jeans with a lot of holes, black vans, and my black beanie to top it off. Going back downstairs I see the others with all the need, their skateboards. CC, Ridley, and Adi had theirs, Magma and Adi always shared. 

“Come on Tidal! Lets go to the park!” Star says as he and the others dash out of the door. Heading for the door I see them skipping like idiots to the park, reaching my hand for the door I am jerked back. I let out a scream but is quickly covered, what is happening?! A voice whispered in my ear. 

“You..you will make up from what happened to my sister..” I try jerking away from the grip but then a point came to my back.
