Can You Chase Away The Darkness - Fuenciado

Chapter One

Jaime's POV:

It was that time again, as of this morning we were officially back on tour. I hugged my parents one last time as my mum told me for the twentieth time to be good and stay safe. I jumped into my car, that was already packed with all the stuff I'd need for the next month or so. The tour bus was picking us all up Vic and Mike's parents house.

The truth is, this job is exhausting and loud and touring for months on end wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. But I wouldn't have it any other way. The fact that three of my best friends would be right beside me the entire time. Mike, who was a party legend. Tony, who was quiet but when he did open his mouth it was always something quirky and amazing. And then there was Vic, there was plenty of words I could use to describe Vic. I would never tell the other two, but I preferred Vic that little bit more. There was just something about him, his laugh - I was constantly trying to make him laugh just to hear it. Because the truth is, no matter how much I hate to admit - I'm falling for him, big time.

It was strange really, I had never been attracted to any other guy in my entire life. And I was still attracted to girls, but there was just something that a girlfriend couldn't give me that Vic could. Usually I buried these feelings deep down, I was 100% sure Vic didn't feel the same way. A smart person would have stopped themselves from falling for him when they knew they didn't have a chance. I, on the other hand - kept pushing it. In those small fuenciado moments (as the fans call it) I could dream for just a few seconds that this is how it could really be.

I could never admit to him how I felt, we were too close for me to lose him over something like that. I didn't mind hiding my feelings, some Vic was better than no Vic at all.

Vic's POV:

A tall figure made it's way to my front door, the sun behind him making it virtually impossible for me to recognise it. Tony was already here and so were the rest of the crew, so it could only be one person.

"Hey guys" he smiled.

"You're late Mr Preciado" I joked.

"Sorry for any inconveniences Mr Fuentes" he joked back.

I loved our jokey conversations, he definitely is one of the things that stops me going crazy on tour. Our friendship was so laid back, it was the best kind of relationship. The kind where we can make a joke out of the worst situations but can be serious when the situation calls for it. We could sit in silence without it being awkward, in my opinion that's how you know just how close you are too someone. Things weren't even weird when we would just randomly hug each other, he could just grab my hand in an interview and it was just normal.

We helped Jaime load his bags on to the bus, the rest of us were already ready to go. But since Jaime was late we decided a combined effort would get us on the road quicker. If we were ahead of time, it meant we could spend more time exploring the place we were heading too.

"Geeze Jaime, how much stuff did you bring?" Mike grumbled, taking a bag in one hand.

"Just the necessities" Jaime grinned back.

"Jaime is secretly a woman" I said with a straight face.

"You're one to talk" he said back, playfully hitting me on the arm.

Of course this turned into me hitting him back and then doing that over and over again. Until eventually we were chasing each other around the garden. That is until Jaime caught me and pinned me down.

"Take it back" he laughed, sitting on my legs.

"Never" I shouted.

"Don't make me tickle you" he threatened.

He knew I hated being tickled.

He began tickling my sides as I screamed and fidgeted underneath him. Continuously trying to push him off me, but doing this while being ticked was very difficult.

"C'mon gay boys, time to go" mike shouted from the door of the bus.

Jaime jumped up and headed over to the bus, leaving me lying on the grass. For some reason what Mike had said "gay boys" stuck in my head. Is that how he sees us? Is that how everyone else sees us? But I don't feel that way about Jaime, and he doesn't feel that way about me, right?
