Runaway Dad~ Mike Fuentes and Tony Perry Fanfiction

Ch. Tweleve

Tony's POV

I've never wanted to hurt someone more than after Ronnie told me about what happened to her. How could someone hurt a girl like her? Now I know why she seems so fragile and reserved, yes I know I told her I wouldn't see her as broken, but can you blame me if I do? Just look at her? She's been hurt more in her life then most people can in a thousand lives. I feel horrible for what's happened to her. When she left last night, and honestly I've never felt more hard broken. She means the world to me already, her and Zeke. I hated that they left, I just want to protect them.

We're in the studio today, we're just wrapping up recording our new album Collide with the Sky. It's going to be our best album yet. Vic made a song for Ronnie, he hasn't let anyone hear it. He's bringing someone in to sing a part in the song. Mike's really irritated that he won't let him hear it. I think something happened to Ronnie in her past, something more than just Jack. Maybe her and Vic are more alike than Mike and Bianca know. 

"Okay, I know you guys have been waiting a long time to hear this song, but it's finally done." Vic tells us coming out of the booth. He walks over to the stereo and starts playing the song, it's acoustic. "The one I recorded with Lindsey is faster, but personally I like this one better."

As we sit here and listen along with the song I can't help but think of Ron, I miss her so much already. When the last few lines are sung I sneak a glance at Mike, his fists are clenched and his eyes are rimmed with tears. When the song ends Mike opens the studio door and runs out it. I flinch as the door slams, Vic stares at the stereo. Jaime and me just stand in our spots, waiting for Vic to respond. When he finally shows us his face, it haad tears streaming down it. 

"People need to know her story, how she felt. I don't care what he thinks, the song is going on the album and thats it." Vic storms out the door, I sigh and look to Jaime. He just shrugs as I shake my head. I walk over to my guitar case and pack up. I take my phone out and see I have four missed calls and two missed texts.

4 Missed calls from Ronnie

Hey Tone, i miss u Me and Zee can't wait 2 see u Saturday-Ronnie

Tony meet me at my place....we have some things to discuss-Mike

I gulp and send a quick reply to both of them. I grab my keys and head out to my car. I start it up and head over to Mike's hoping I'll come out with my head still attached to my body.

When I get to Mike's the lights in the living room were on and I could see him staring out the window. I gulp and shut my car off. As soon as I got the text I knew what this was about....Ronnie must've told him about us. If not Ronnie then someone who saw us, I mean I wasn't very discreet when I went out with her. One of our fans could've easily taken a picture and posted it. I know Mike, he was the one who introduced me to the guys and wanted me to join Pierce the Veil. He doesn't take anything when it comes to Ronnie. Who knows, maybe it's something about the band. Maybe something about Vic's new song.

I get out of the car and head up to the door of his house. I tale a deep breath and knock on the door. The few seconds I wait for him to come to the door feel like hours. I've never felt my heart beat this fast, not even during my first performance. When he opens the door a forced but cruel smile plays on his lips. I flinch when he laughs and puts his arm around me. He pulls me into the house and forces me to sit in a chair while he paces back and forth in front of me.

"So I heard something interesting about you today," he says as he paces in front of me. I cringe when he says that, well that throws him not knowing out the window. "You think you can date my daughter and me not have any feelings about it?"

"Mike buddy look I can-" I begin to say but as I do he cuts me.

"Look I'm not happy about it, but I know you'll treat her and Zeke right. They need someone who's going to protect and love them. I see it in your eyes that you already do. You're a good guy Tone, and I know you'll keep them safe. You'll protect them, especially around Jack." He says 

"I promise I will, they do Mike. Especially around that asshole. He won't hurt them." I say, I clench my fists in anger at the thought of him. He won't hurt them, they've been hurt enough. I don't care what I have to lose I won't let them feel anymore pain.

"I know you'll keep them safe, that's why I'm not gonna say anything about you two being together." I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.

"I'm going to take her out this weekend and ask her to be my girlfriend. I wanna do things right with her. I'm not gonna screw this up like I did with all the other girls, she's different," I tell him, when I look up into his eyes he smiling down at me. 

"Go do it Tone, believe me you two have something special, and you'll either make each other better or learn to make someone else better," As he says this I know which one it'll be. I love Ronnie and I'm gonna make her happy and help her raise Zeke. "Go do what you gotta do Tone, but if you hurt my daughter or grandson, I will kill you." He smiles and nods towards the door. I go outside and climb in my car. I press the call button and before she even answers I ask the question that will change my world.

"Veronica Fuentes, will you go out with me?"
