My Only Retreat

Self Sabotage

I'm so excited to write this new chapter. Words can't explain it. What will Vic and Emma's reaction be? who knows. Oh so I was snooping around instagram and this band (The King is Dead) liked my photo and I checked out their only song (they are newly formed) and it was really good. I loved it. So I put it on that little side thingy. Check it out. Its's so good. <3  Oh and try to spread their name around if you liked them because a band like this deserves to get their name out and it's not always that easy. (: 

Anyways, Enjoy this story. Vote, Comment, do whatever. (: 

Thanks for taking the time to read this too. (: 

Vic and Emma walked onto the bus. I squeezed Oli's hand so hard that I'm surprised he didn't yell in pain or yank his hand away from the pain. I looked quickly back at Oli just to see him slouching on the couch and sleeping. I sighed. 

Seriously? I thought we were gonna get through this together. 

I quickly looked back as Vic and Emma were talking and looked straight at me. I dropped Oli's hand like it was on fire. I stood up and let Oli just slid down on the couch so he was now lying down. 

Geez, can that guy sleep. 

After a few awkward minutes just staring at each other, I opened my mouth to speak but I was cut off. 

"Amy, Is this why you talked to me about boys? Is he your new boyfriend?" Emma said. 

"Uh yeah kinda." I mumbled scratching the back of my neck nervously. 

"Oliver Sykes from Bring Me the Horizon?" Vic said raising his eyebrow. 

"Yeah." I looked down. I don't know why but I was kind of ashamed. It past quickly though when the thought came over me that I was dating Oli Sykes, a guy most girls would kill to be with. So I was pretty damn lucky to think about it. 

Vic and Emma just looked at each other and nodded. 

"We'll talk about this later when he wakes up. We can all talk about it ok?" 

I looked up and nodded. 

Does that mean they aren't mad? I should probably prepare for the worst though. I mean life gave me all this good stuff like this family and something bad had to come and ruin it right? I would never just be happy right? 

*Vic's POV* 

Emma and I walked into the back room where we could discuss this. Hopefully they couldn't hear us. There isn't much privacy on this bus. 

"Are you ok with this?" I asked Emma 

"I did say I wouldn't mind if she dated a guy older than her. I mean she's sixteen and she's technically not ours." 

"Yeah, I don't know though. Something just doesn't let me think that this is ok." 

"Let's see what happens. I think it will be good for her. She could use a boyfriend to comfort her. I mean we can't be here for her always right? Especially with you touring all the time and stuff." 

"Ok" 

We walked back out into the living room and saw Amy nudging Oli to wake up and he was wiping his eyes and making noises you would make when you first wake up. Kid must be tired with all the performing. 

*Amy's POV* 

After nudging Oli to wake up about a billion times and him making weird noises, Oli finally woke up and rubbed his eyes. If it were up to me, I could watch Oli sleep forever. He looked so cute and perfect. I hoped that didn't sound weird. I looked up and saw Vic and Emma standing there smiling. I guessed that was a good sign. 

"We approve!" they said in unison and started smiling again. 

Vic came up to me and pulled me and Oli up. We had another one of those group hugs. I smiled and grabbed Oli's hand and put my fingers in between his. 

I couldn't be happier. I got the family of my dreams, the boy of my dreams, and I was touring with Pierce the Veil on Warped Tour. Oh how cliche that sounded but I didn't care I was happy. 

I closed my eyes and opened them, making sure this all just wasn't a really good dream and it wasn't.
