Picking Up The Pieces {COMPLETED} (A Vic Fuentes Fanfiction)

You Should Sing My Name...

You Should Sing My Name.

Vic's POV

We arrived back at Austin's before announcing to everyone that we were heading off, but that we would all go out soon. Holly was once again hugged by everyone, understandably, and we made our way back to my car. I held the passenger side door open for Holly whilst she climbed in before making my way to the drivers side, and so began the silent journey back to my place.

I parked my car outside my place before climbing out of the car, walking around to Holly's side, holding the door open for her to join me. I was nervous, really nervous, but then why wouldn't I be? I had just got Holly back, and here I was, about to show her a song I wrote during our time spent apart. I had every reason to be nervous. She waited for me as I locked my car and flashed me a smile before reaching out for my hand, which I gladly took hold of, feeling warmth radiate through me at the contact. I missed holding her hand, in fact, I even wrote in the song  that I wanted to hold her hand; 'I wanna hold your hand so tight, I'm gonna break my wrist'. I was just glad that she was back here and okay, or at least okay from the looks of things; I honestly doubted that she was actually okay after everything, but we would talk about that soon. Not now though, I just wanted to enjoy her company for now, make sure that she knew I love her and that everything I said was a mistake.

I felt slightly calmer once we were inside; I knew she was safe and that she was really here, and that's what made me more nervous than anything. "So, what do you want to do?" I asked, turning to face her with her hands locked gently in mine. "If it's not too much trouble, I'd really like to hear that song" she replied cautiously. "Oh right, yeah, of course" I smiled shyly, slowly pulling her in the direction of the living room. She sat down as I grabbed an acoustic guitar, choosing to make it more acoustic because I hadn't really worked on the song fully yet; all I had really managed to do was work out some lyrics and chords, but nothing else, I needed the rest of the band for that. "Okay so uh, yeah, this is a little nerve racking for me so yeah, if I mess up, I apologize" I smiled lightly, flicking my gaze up at her, noticing a nod before I focused back on the guitar in my hands.

'I breathe you in with smoke in the backyard lights
We used to laugh until we choked into the wasted nights
It was the best time of my life, but now I sleep alone
So darling, don't, don't wake me up, cause my thrill is gone'

I was doing well until I reached the bridge section.

'This isn't fair! Don't you try to blame this on me,
My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot me.
And god damn it, I can barely see your name
So I'll try to write it and fill the pen with blood from the sink...'

Tears threatened to spill as I threw all the emotion from the past couple of months into the song, but I carried on.

'But don't just say it, you should sing my name
Pretend that its a song cause forever its yours...'

I felt a tear roll down my cheek, and no matter how much I tried to hide it, I was fairly certain she noticed. She came and sat in front of me, a look of sadness on her face as she placed a hand on my knee and watched me with content.

'I'm barely hanging on
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone
Now there's nothing to do but tear my voice apart
Nothing to do, and scream at the drunken moon.'

I placed the guitar down beside me and threw my head into my hands, my elbows resting on my knees for support whilst silent sobs escaped my body. "That was beautiful Vic, please don't cry, I love you so much and I'm so fucking sorry for leaving you" she rushed out, throwing her arms around me. I literally fell into her arms; fuck being strong. No one can be strong all the time, just like I couldn't now. "I love you too Holly" I choked out. She soothingly brushed my hair with her fingertips, and it was definitely helping me calm down.
