Our Secret

part 17-thursday-

Vic

Tommorow would be Halloween which meant that me and our band would have a gig around the evening. I was nervous since it has been a little over four months since the last time we have peformed.

Julia on the other hand was over the moon. She was happy and excited as always. She had helpped us plan the gig for the most part and she did her job as a stylist for us.

Right now it's wednesday evening, around seven and me and her just came back from the last band practise. Dad was at work and would be tommorow as well so he couldn't come to watch us like he usually would.

Me and dad had a weird relationship, or normal, I don't know what you have but for me I don't really know him. Like yes I know his name, profession and age, but that's about it. When we are both home we don't really talk besides 'good mornings' and 'do you need anything from the store?'.

I could feel Julia's eyes on me, "are you alright? You seem down".

She can read me a little too well.

"Yea I'm just tired, don't worry"

I could feel her eyes on me for a little more, "If you say so".

We were eating dinner and Julia was snapchating her friend, Indy. She hadn't told her that she was staying with me, or mentioned about her parents divorce. She said that Indy was a huge fan of our band, The Pretty Boys. She had apparently sent a screenshot of a story that Max had posted where Julia was on my lap last friday. Thankfully I had told Max to keep Julia's identity hidden as I didn't want her to get any hate.

"Are you sure you are okay?", Julia asked again.

She was so caring.

"Yes just thinking"

"About what?" Her big chocolate brown eyes looked up at me with curiosity as she leaned closer to me.

"Oh nothing", I said purposefully avoiding her eyes.

"Don't lie to me darling, I know that you have something that you're keeping to yourself".

I would miss these converstations when she left.

What am I going to do without her?

"Just thinking how am I going to spend my time when the school starts again", I said now meeting her eyes.

"Aww are you gonna miss me?" She asked cupping her face with both of her hands.

"Maybe".

I will.

"If you let me I wouldn't mind spending weekends", she said but I could hear the hope in her voice.

"You are welcome to come around whenever you want", I said.

Julia

When I woke up it was around midnight. Me and Vic had gone sleep a bit earlier since we were getting up around seven in the morning to drive few towns over where the gig took place.

Right now I couldn't find Vic with my hand.

She wasn't here.

She had seemed a bit stressed earlier but told me to not worry about it. I opened my eyes to see if she was anywhere near but nothing. No lights in the bathroom, the bed was empty besides me, no one on the couch.

I felt a breeze from the balcony door.

Did she go outside?

I carefully got up and walked towards the door in the dark. I was just wearing one t-shirt of hers so I could feel the cold breeze of the night on the bare skin of my legs.
