I stood next to Jaime just staring at that blank computer screen when my chest was slapped. "I don't like you like that Tony!" Jaime spoke with anger dripping off each word. "You admitted to us you liked him!" Alysha came onto the bus as those words poured out.

"Liked who?" She asked skeptically.

"Like you, love you." I said quickly, wrapping my long arms around her slim waist.

"Jaime said he." She said raising and eyebrow.

"Jaime was doing that dramatic, why don't you love me! But in third person." I leaned down and whispered, "He's silly like that." She giggled and nodded.

"I'm not dramatic." He huffed.

"Yeah, sure you aren't big guy." Alysha laughed.

"Big guy? I could snap you like a twig, I'm mainly muscle bitch." He grumbled under his breath.

"Excuse me? Does Mike need to teach you like he did Tony?" I cringed at her words, hurting Tony was a big mistake. I never wanted to hurt him, I just wanted Alysha happy.

"Oh? Get me thrown off tour too? Go ahead Mike, come at me." Jaime spoke angrily, but I didn't move a muscle. "That's right. I have to go talk to my niece who actually owns up to what she does." He knocked into my shoulder and walked off the bus. I wanted to break down and cry, throw things across the bus, but Alysha grabbed onto my arm.

"Finally, some alone time!" She squealed.

"You know babe, I'm not feeling it." I sighed, rubbing my temples.

"Oh, okay. Can we cuddle then? You look like you need a hug." She said kindly.

"Yeah, yeah we can." I opened my arms and she slid into them happily. I sighed, pulling her closer and feeling happy with the warmth.

We laid like that for an hour or two before Jaime came stomping back onto the bus with Vic following behind him and who's behind Vic, of course...Danielle. "What the fuck is wrong with you!" Jaime screamed.

"What are you talking about?" Danielle asked curiously.

"Nothing Dani, how about Alysha and You go for a bit. Please." He looked at Alysha and she nodded walking off the bus with the ginger while I sit here confused.

"Yeah! Let your girlfriend leave so she doesn't know you're disgusting!" Jaime spit.

"Jaime, please listen to me!" Vic pleaded. Jaime crossed his arms over his chest then looked at me and new fire struck into his eyes.

"You both are so fucked up!" He angrily said then shoved past Vic and ran off the bus. Why was I in this? What did Vic do?

"What did you do!" We both yelled simultaneously. "I asked you first!" Again we yelled. "Stop it!" We yelled for the last time and Vic nodded for me to speak.

"Someone stole my phone and lead Tony on and he wants nothing to do with Jaime and I. I don't know about you. Jaime is mad at me because I do like Tony, but I lied to him because I would like to keep Alysha." I sighed out. "How about you?" I asked curiously.

"I kissed Jaime." He said quickly and my eyes widened.

"What!?" I exclaimed.

"I don't know why! I just kissed him and he kissed back. Then after we kissed he said he liked me...then I responded..," he paused and ran his hand through his hair. "No homo." I slapped my hand on my face and laughed really hard. "It's not funny!" Vic whined.

"Oh yeah, not funny. Let me just kiss a band mate then say no homo." I laughed even harder, "You're right it's not funny," Vic nodded thankfully. "It's priceless!" I laughed harder until he slapped me and whimpered. "Not cool." I scoffed, he was about to say something, but his phone cut him off.

"Hey Tony." He said as he picked it up. "You're what!" He said shocked. "No! Can we talk about this! Cmon! Tony!" Then it was quiet and he looked down at his phone to see Tony hung up.

"What?" I asked nervously.

"He quit the band." He stated quietly. "He said he couldn't work with someone who intentionally hurt him...twice." I gulped and looked up at Vic. "I need to go." He said and walked off the bus. Leaving me with my thoughts about broken hearts.
