The Roommate

More Secrets...

~Mia~

I take Lexi onto the Pierce The Veil bus with me. They know everything, so I guess they could help me explain without her flipping shit on me. Plus they love Lexi. We've been friends ever since I can remember. So I knock on the door and Tony answers. He was probably expecting me. I pull Lexi onto the bus smiling. The guys were sitting in the lounge area, Vic on his phone, Mike on his phone, Jaime eating cookies...on his phone.
"HEY!" I scream getting all of their attention. Jaime's cookie falls out of his hand and drips onto the floor. He frowns, but goes on to grab another one. Vic smiles when he sees Lexi.
"Chex Mix Lex! What's up!" He says. He has odd nicknames for everybody. Literally everybody. I walk over and sit on the couch next to Tony. I kick my shoes off and cuddle up next to him. I felt it was okay now. He puts his arm around me and smiles. Oh god his smile.
"Lexi, how ya been?" Mike asks her. She looks around and gives everyone a thumbs up.
"I think the more important question is what the hell is going on with Mia's life!" She shouts. Shit maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
"Okay, I'll tell you everything, just calm your nerves." I say to her.
"So, my mom and Jaime got into this huge fight, and basically I was banned from seeing him, or talking to him. Any type of communication was a no no,"
I proceed to tell her how I met Johnnie. It wasn't that interesting. I actually found him in the middle of Hot Topic looking at the wall of tee shirts in awe. That's it. Boom best friends. It's a wonder what a tee shirt can do for you..really. I tell her about everything that has been going on with Johnnie and Bryan and how that whole situation happened. Once everything explained, that's when she was able to ask questions.
"Does Johnnie know your real age?" She simply asks. It was actually sarcastic. I look over at Jaime. He just looks at me and shakes his head, smiling.
"No," I say almost laughing. Tony tried to hold in his laugh too.
"Shit Mia how old does he think you are,"
"Um..I think I turn 19 in August," I say smiling. Vic and Mike started bursting out in laughter. Jaime just smiled and shook his head again. It was pretty funny being that I'm 21. Oopsies.
"Okay, um. Do they know anything about your actual life. Like the one you enjoy living."
I shake my head no. But that wasn't entirely true. They know about Jaime and Tony..well past Tony not present Tony. And they know about Kellin...
"Oh, they know about Jay." I say. She just smirks at me.
"Okay seriously, it wasn't my fault."
"Mia it was.." Vic says.
"NO! I was completely drunk, and all I wanted to do was go to bed, but nooo Jay had to come and flirt with me, and before I knew it I was making out with him!"
"Was it enjoyable..?" Tony asks. What Tone? Seriously? You're comparing him to you. No it wasn't enjoyable.
"No, Tony."
"That's not the worst that's happened. How are you going to get that one past them?"
"There is a worst and he's here and I don't want to talk about it." I say. Tony rubs my back knowing what I was talking about. It was quiet for a few moments, and then Vic raised his hand. Come on Vic this isn't math class. Speak your mind.
"We all know what happened..okay. But we don't know exactly why." He says. I sigh. I did not want to talk about it. But I guess I should. Tell them..
"So..Ronnie and I were pretty good friends, but I didn't tell any of you because..well I didn't want to. He thought I had feelings for him, and that I was leading him on and believe me when I say I wasn't trying to. So, that whole interview thing happened because we got into a fight, and he actually hit me," I say. Mike gasped. I look at him. You little girl.
"So you didn't run into a wall?" Jaime asks. I shake my head no.
"No that bruise was all Ronnie. So after the interview, I went to go talk to him, but I was sort of scared...but I went anyway, and that's when I found out he was spreading the rumors about Jaime and I."
"The pregnancy rumors?" Vic asks.
"Yeah, I know you thought it was just the heroine rumors, but it was all of them." I confess. I felt Tony tense up. Shit he's gonna kill him. Literally kill him.
"Tony-"
"Who in their right mind does something like that!?" Tony screams.
"Um, someone who doesn't have a right mind," Vic states. Okay Vic. Sure. I look over at Tony. His face was red with anger.
"Tony, this happened like forever ago, don't freak out,"
"Mia, do you not see yourself every time you see him?"
"Tony-"
"No, I'm sorry Mia, but I love you too much for him to do this again." He says. I look at him.
"Again?" I ask quietly.
"Mia, he's not going to leave you alone. I saw the look on his face when he saw you today, I'm telling you I won't have it." He says. Awe he's so cute. I beg him not to do anything dumb, but he just stays silent.
"What exactly is Ronnie planning?" Vic asks. Jaime stays silent through this whole situation.
"I don't know, but whatever it is, it's not happening." Tony says. I look at Lexi who was looking at me. Tony stands up and goes over to the fridge. He takes out a beer and starts to drink it.
"Alcohol is not the answer my friend," Vic says trying to make things a bit less tense. It just made it worse. Good try Vic.

~Bryan~

Mia walks over to me with her new..well old..friend Lexi. She runs up to me and hugs me happily. She then giggles and looks over at Johnnie who was starring at us.
"What's your problem Johnnie?" I ask him still hugging Mia.
"Oh nothing. Nothing at all." He says. I watch him walk over to Lexi and start talking to her. I think he likes her, but he claims he doesn't. Liar.
"So um, I have a question." I say to Mia.
"Okay Bryan, what is your question?" She asks me.
"Do you and Lexi purposely have the same hair-do, or is that just a coincidence?" I ask her. She smiles.
"Well, mine is blue.."
"Mia it's the same thing, the only difference is the color."
"No, we got it together a while ago, I guess she just stuck to it, and I changed it four times." She explains. I nod my head and turn around to see Jaime standing behind me smiling at Mia. I let her go talk to them. Oh I know it's a them...Tony has to be there. When is he not? It's like he stalks Mia, it's weird. However it's not as weird as Jay. That..yeah that was weird. Johnnie walks over to me, and sighs. He watches Mia and Jaime closely, yet they were a bit far away to tell what they were talking about. I didn't understand.
"Johnnie,"
"Shut up!" He says still watching them.
"You can't hear them, why are you-"
"Mia has a whole different life that she didn't tell us about."
"You mean her Pierce The Veil life, yeah I know," I say to him. She's told us about this. No I wasn't happy that she kept it from us, but I mean I'm getting over it. Slowly, but I'm getting over it. He shakes his head.
"Bryan something is going on that she isn't telling us,"
"Do you know something that I don't?" I question him. He stares at me for a second like he did know something. But I knew he wasn't going to tell me even if he did.
"No, I'm just as confused as you are,"
Liar. You know what's going on. You just don't want to tell me. Either because Mia told you not to, or because you think I'm going to flip shit. But you definitely know something. I watch Mia give Jaime a hug then walk back over to us.
"What are you two looking at?" She asks confused. Johnnie just stares at her, while I shrug my shoulders.
