Chemical Love (Craig Mabbitt Fanfic)

Chapter 21

*Anastasia’s POV*

It was now 9:21 am and Emily was the first awake (thank god). She walked out of the bunks giving me a small smile. I returned it as she sat beside me.

‘Feeling any better?’ she asked me. I shrugged.

‘I guess I won’t really know until one of the guys wake up…’ as if on cue, Craig walked in stretching. I mentally sighed and rolled my eyes. Emily gave me a look. I stood up, walking over to Craig who was now looking in the fridge. I paused before slowly hugging him from behind. He jumped, obviously not expecting it, making me jump and flinch away startled.

‘Anastasia…’he sounded relieved and surprised. I nodded. He opened his arms for a hug so I stepped closer hesitantly and wrapped my arms around him. I instantly relaxed in his arms; he made me feel safe. Emily being Emily had to ruin the moment and cheered happily.

I glared at her, refusing to let go of Craig, and buried myself further into his neck. He hugged me closer and started whispering sweet things into my hair.

‘It’s all gonna be OK. I’m here, I’ll always be here. I’ll protect you as much as possible…’ I finally pulled away and smiled at him, but then frowned. I pushed him out of the room to talk to Emily. I’m can’t bring myself to talk around him yet. I turned to my best friend who was now fascinated by Family Guy. I rolled me eyes and sat on her lap getting her attention.

‘I wanna go meet the other bands today. Since I still can’t talk in front of guys, you’re coming with so I don’t look like a complete idiot.’ I smiled at her. She agreed but pushed me to the floor.

‘Go get ready. Now.’ she ordered. I happily obliged and went through my clothes. I picked out a plain black cropped top, black leather leggings and leather jacket. I took a shower, did my hair and makeup and got dressed. Once I was happy I grabbed my phone and black ankle boots.

After Emily was finally ready she told the guys where we were going and left. I saw the Pierce The Veil bus and ran over dragging Emily. She knocked and we waited. I got impatient for waiting and hit the door with my fist as loud as I could, regret washing over me immediately. I cowered and frantically looked around. He’s not here Anastasia, relax. Finally a tired looking Vic opened the door.

‘Uhhh…hi?’ he looked confused not knowing who we were. Obviously.

‘Is everyone decent in there?’ Emily questioned. He looked at us weird before looking into the bus.

‘Yea-‘ we cut him off by pushing past him an sitting on their couch.

‘Hi. I’m Emily, TJ Bell’s girlfriend, and this is Anastasia, Craig Mabbitt’s girlfriend. Sorry to just barge in but we wanted to go around and meet all the bands,’ Emily explained to a very confused and freaked out Vic. Slight understanding crossed his face.

‘Hi, nice to meet you. GUYS GET YOUR ASSES UP! WE HAVE GUESTS!’ he yelled in the direction of the bunks. We heard groans before three more guys appeared. We talked (well they talked), getting to know each other, before Emily and I left to meet other bands. By the end of the day we met Sleeping with Sirens, (the rest of) Black Veil Brides, Bring Me the Horizon, A Day to Remember and Blood on the Dance Floor. I don’t know why we wanted to meet BOTDF; we’re not fans. Oh well, Dahvie and Jayy are actually pretty nice guys.

We were walking back to the ETF bus when we ran into Max. I was little afraid of Max at the moment since he’s tried to have sex with me but I refused to show that.

‘Anastasia, I’m sorry. I really am, I’m sorry,’ Max apologised. I nodded. I guess I forgave him but I would still be cautious around him. I hugged him quickly showing my forgiveness. He gaped at me for a moment before smiling. I smiled back and continued walking to the ETF bus with Emily.

~Sorry this chapter kind of sucked. Don't worry, I'm building up to something though. It's just too early so far. Anyways, comment, vote and thanks for reading~
