*Chapter 12*
“Wake up!” Someone screamed shaking me awake. I opened my eyes and I saw Jaime standing there. I sat up in a hurry and looked over at Vic’s side of the bed, He was gone.
“Fuck, where is he?” I shouted, I was trying to not cry, but it was hard. The day of tour, where could he have gone, He could never leave the day of tour, it meant too much to him to begin with.
“Calm down, We know where he is, we’ve been up for hours, we didn’t pack last night, remember?” he said with a slight laugh to his voice.
“So why did you wake me up?” I said slightly irritated.
“Why not, we are about to leave on tour, you don’t want to see your fiancée?” He said pulling me out of bed “Really? Still in the clothes from last night” He questioned.
“I was tired, I didn’t feel like changing” I said. He gave me a stern look and chuckled “Sure” He said softly pulling me out of the room and down the stairs. I had no clue where we were going but no one else was in the house, I was guessing they were all outside. Jaime opened the door and pushed me out.
“Courtney!” Tony screamed and attacked me I stumbled around and hugged him. “Hi Tony” I said laughing. I saw Mike walk up and patted me on the back “what’s up sister?” He said. I loved this, it made me smile. He kept walking but I let go of Tony and jumped on mike’s back. “Bro” I screamed, I heard Vic laugh at us.
“Vic, Get your girl” Mike said laughing. I felt fingers lace around my sides, I knew who this was so I let go and Vic put me on the ground.
“Hey sweetheart.” He said smiling me and kissing me softly.
“Darling” I shouted and threw my arms around his neck. He pulled away and looked at me. “We have a surprise for you!” He said dragging me towards their tour bus.
Tony ran up and opened the door for us.
“What is it…?” I said looking around the bus. Vic directed me towards the back. He put his hands over my eyes before opening the door to the back. He walked me in and removed his hands. “Surprise baby” He shouted.
I opened my eyes and there it was my very own guitar. Like Vic and Tony’s. The guitar had a black base, but the slime was neon purple. I loved it.
“Oh darling, thank you! “ I said turning towards him.
“Pick it up darling, see how it feels” he said, I turned and picked it up, the strap was already on and I decided to put it on.
“Looks nice on you” Tony said walking in. “Tony what’s wrong” Vic said. Tony looked at him and shook his head “Nothing man, we just have to get going soon” He said and stood in the doorway watching me mess with the string, I would hit a note but mess up how it sounded. I was close to giving up. “There’s a problem.” I said “I…I can’t play guitar….” I finished with my voice trailing off. Tony and Vic both hugged me “We will teach you, do not worry!” They both said. We walked off the bus and I still had my guitar on. “Hey looks nice!” Jaime and Esther said.
“Guys we have to get going” Their tour manager said loading their last bit of equipment.
“Alright” Vic said turning towards the guys. “You guys ready?” Vic said.
“Let’s go!” Jaime said turning to Esther and kissing her. We were both ready to cry, I could tell, But it was only a week before we would be with them again.
The boys got on the bus, as Vic was turning around to wave goodbye, I jumped on him and kissed him softly and smiled. He sat me down, and learned towards my ear “take care baby, see you soon.” He said and turned to get on the bus. As the doors closed behind him, all 4 of the boys were in the window waving at us. Esther and I were in tears waving back at them. We waved until we couldn’t see the bus anymore.
