One Winter ↠ A MunchingBrotato Fanfiction (Sequel to One Summer)

Chapter 2 - Catch

Brielle's POV

I claimed to have jet lag for the rest of the night to just stay in my bedroom. I honestly didn't want to encounter Tyler tonight.

(The Next Morning)

Brielle's POV

I woke up around 9AM and walk downstairs to see some of the guys sitting in the kitchen.

"Well you guys are surprisingly up." I look at the table to see Mitch, Preston, Ryan and Adam eating some breakfast.

"We got some leftover eggs and bacon for you, just cause you're special." Adam smiles and I shake my head. I grab the eggs and bacon from the counter and sit at the table beside them.

"Have you talked to Tyler?" Ryan asks.

"Yeah. I have." I sigh.

"I'm guessing by the tone in your voice that it didn't go too well. Sorry about that Elle." Mitch leans towards the side and side hugs me.

"What did I expect, that I'd come back and everything would be back to the way they were? Trust me, I don't think we will get back together any time soon." I shove some eggs in my mouth and chew them angrily.

"Did you guys have a blowout?" Ryan asks.

"Yeah, kinda the reason I didn't want to see anybody last night."

"That sucks, I mean, you just got here why couldn't he have waited a few days? Kinda shitty..." Adam sighs. "He's like my brother but he pisses me off sometimes."

"Don't be pissed at him Adam, I don't want to drag you guys into this, it is just between Tyler and I and we will work it out somehow...I hope." I shrug.

"Doesn't he realize what a catch you are?" Mitch asks. "Like you could have any guy in the world because you are Brielle Aceti from Stealing The Unknown. I think if he really likes you, he better say it now and apologize for it before another guy comes along and decides he wants you."

"Thanks for the confidence boost Mitch, but don't worry about me okay? I'll be fine."

"Okay then let's go somewhere today! Have a fun time since you decided to come back to LA!" Ryan says.

"Like where Ryan?" Preston asks.

"Actually I gotta meet up with Carla, Brendan and Patrick. We are planning our summer tour today and I won't be home till late." I half lied. Honestly I had to plan out the tour but I hoped that Carla would decide to hang out with me.

"Oh alright. How about tomorrow then?" Ryan asks.

"Definitely. I promise we will do something. I better go get ready. Mind if I take one of your cars?"

"My keys are on my desk. Feel free to take them anytime." Mitch smiles and I nod. I run up the stairs and pass Tyler on my way up, not a single word, not a single glance was shared between us.

I shower before changing into a pair of leggings and a sweater. I grab Mitch's keys and take his car to a coffee shop where we would plan the tour.

"Hey guys!" I smile at Patrick, Brendan and Carla who was sitting down with their coffee.

"Hey! Just in time." Carla smiles and I sit beside Patrick as I look at the papers in front of us.

"So we have some of the older songs being played like Cool Kids and Oh Well-"

"Don't." I cut Carla off. "I...I don't want to sing Oh Well."

"It's our most popular song Elle, we can't not play it." Brendan says and I sigh.

"That song means a whole lot more to me than just our number one hit and I don't want to play it." I close my eyes and inhale as Patrick looks at me and realizes. "You and Tyler aren't back together..."

"Worse." I sigh.

"Oh geez Elle...I'm sorry." Carla sighs. "We can just put it as on encore and if you and Tyler decide to get-"

"No just put it on the set list. I'm making this a bigger deal than it really should be and it's about the fans. I shouldn't be so selfish."

"Okay but if you ever want to pull it just let us know." Carla sympathizes and I nod.

"Okay so we plan to leave for the first show on May 28th and come back to our homes on October 2nd. We haven't figured out the rest but it's all good. We have like two months to figure it out and hand our plan to Jerry for him to finalize it."

Jerry has been our manager ever since our band was formed.

"Sounds good to me, and there's gonna be some new singles coming out before then so we'll add those. The set list needs to be finalized before March. Agreed?" I ask and they all nod.

We spend the next hour beginning to finalize the tour. We decided to call the tour "The Reckless and Brave Tour" in which is the name from our new album we released months after the "Wild Dreams" album. (A/N- Yes it's an all time low song, but for the purpose of the book it's theirs. I love atl xD)

"Alright we will pick this up in a week or two." We all stand up and hug each other goodbye and I pull Carla aside.

"What's going on Elle?"

"Huge blowout between Tyler and I and I need an excuse to not go home."

Carla smiles and laughs. "I got the best excuse for you."

"What? Please no bars...even though that was my idea. Besides the point, I don't want to end up on TMZ again for disturbing the peace and underage drinking."

"Well, this might involve drinking but it's not at a bar."

"What is it then?"

"Party. Ben's house tonight."

Ben was part of the band "Last Night's Mistake" and is as popular as Stealing The Unknown. We met back where our band and theirs shared Brendan's dad's studio.

"Is he really having a party?"

"Yeah and he invited all four of us. They are celebrating their summer tour a bit late. It's gonna be fun and I think it's a good opportunity for you to talk to some guys. Including Ben."

"Yeah right. Okay Carla." I shake my head.

"Oh c'mon. Ben has had an eye on you ever since we started sharing the studio back home. He's kinda cute too. I say you should go for it."

I laugh. "Okay maybe, but more importantly, what are we gonna wear?"

"I can stop by my house and grab a bunch of dresses for us to wear and bring them by to the TC house in a few hours."

"Sounds good. I'll see you then." We both walk out to our cars (technically Mitch's car) and drive away.

Now how do I explain this to Jerome?
