Your Nickle Ain't Worth My Dime (A Sleeping with Sirens fan fiction)

Let Love Bleed Red

*Mariah's POV*

'Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow,' my head was saying. I mentally told it to shut up. How was I supposed to hear what Kellin fricken Quinn was saying on the phone?

"Hi, guys. How are you?" Kellin asked. His voice sounded angelic even over the phone and I was finding it hard to breath.

"We're great," Jamie answered for all of us.

"Good. Who am I talking to?"

"I'm Jeydon," Jeydon said, moving closer to the phone. Well sure. Now that we were one step closer to being those people that know the band, he was all in.

"I'm Jamie," Jamie said.

They both looked at me, waiting for me to say something. All the words were stuck in my throat and, as much as I moved my mouth, no sound came out. I felt like somebody should've hit me. I mean, really, how hard is it to just say it? "I'm Mariah." Easy. 2 words.

Jeydon put his hand on my back and the corners of his pierced lips turned up. He whispered words of encouragement, and I finally said it. "I'm Mariah." My voice shook, but I said it.

"It's nice to meet you all. Well, I mean we aren't really meeting but I'm talkin- never mind. So you guys like our music?"

"Yeah, you guys are awesome," I said. My voice was still shaking but I was getting better.

"Thanks. You guys gonna come see us at Warped?"

"Yeah. I bought the tickets last week," Jeydon said. I started to feel guilty again. I'd definitely have to pay him back, whether or not he wanted me to.

"Great. It's nice that you buy concert tickets for your girlfriend," Kellin said, and we all just looked at each other.

"Who?" Jeydon asked.

"I just thought that one of you-"

"No," Jamie said. "None of us are dating."

"Alright. I just thought that you-"

I felt bad for interrupting again, but I had to. "Let's drop it. None of us are dating."

~a few hours later~

"Guys my battery is going to die!" Damon whined. He was really good at that.

"Okay, okay," I said laughing. "We gotta go, Kellin."

"Aww," Kellin sighed. "Okay."

"Bye!" We chorused.

"Bye, guys!" We hit the end button and handed Damon back his phone.

Jeydon stood up and held his hands out to me and Jamie. He pulled us both up to our feet and, where as Jamie and Damon went to get food, Jeydon and I fell back onto the couch. I sighed and sunk deeper into the couch, using Jeydon as a foot rest.

"You're happy," he said. "I can tell."

I nodded. "Well I just talked to Kellin Quinn for 3 hours. It feels pretty good." I looked over at Jeydon, smiling.

He smiled back at me. "What?"

"You talked to him too. I bet you can't wait to see them at Warped."

"It was just fun to see you guys fangirl like that," he said, reaching over and scruffing my hair.

I shook my head, hoping my hair fell back into place. "Admit it, Jeydon!" I reached over and took his hat off, placing it on my own head, and scruffing his hair.

He flipped his hair and rolled his eyes. "Fine. I want to see them." He was still smiling.

"Ha!" I cheered victoriously. "I knew it!"

*Jamie's POV*

"Damon, you're the best," I told him. I grabbed the ice cream out of the freezer.

He handed me the bowls and said, "It was no problem."

"Its a big flipping deal though!" I started scooping the chocolate while Damon drizzled the hot fudge over the whipped cream.

"Just, you know, a normal day in the life of Super Fizzy. Uniting people with their celebrity idols on a daily basis," he said in a superhero voice.

I couldn't help but laugh. "We've missed you, D."

"You've missed my D?" he asked. Of course. I should've seen it coming, with that dirty mind of his.

"Sure," I sighed. I grabbed the bowls off of the counter and brought them into the living room. I went to hand one to Mariah, but she shook her head and waved it away.

"I'm not hungry," she explained.

All I said was, "Okay." In my head, I was thinking, 'Weird. She normally would never say no to ice cream. Especially anything chocolate.'

I shrugged it off and sat down on the love seat. I indulged myself in the chocolately chocolateness of the ice cream and the sweetness of Kellin Quinn's voice.
