Dreamless Graves || Vic Fuentes

Chapter 4

After my conversation with Jordan things have become awkward between him and me. He's not happy about me liking Vic, but from what I was told he's a pretty good guy.

Right now I'm headed towards the MMF bus alone for the party since the boys had left earlier. The music could be heard from our bus, so I knew this was going to be an interesting night for the five of us.

It was only day six of Warped and everyone was already exhausted from Lack of sleep.

"Claire!" I was brought out of my thoughts by a drunken Alex making his way towards me, "You're missing all the fun girl come on!"

A few of the busses were moved so they formed an octagon, and it was obvious that the party was getting out of hand. A lot of the bands were completely wasted by this point and I knew that we had to start heading out soon.

"Here drink this," I hadn't even noticed Alex leave let alone come back, "It's nothing too bad I promise. You just gotta let loose a little."

I smile and take the drink from the boy, "Alright but only for tonight."

About five cups of Jaeger and two Jack Daniels in I was wasted. Alex and I had been dancing together for what seemed like hours before finally taking a seat on one of the tables, "Hey can you get me another shot?"

"Lazy shit," I muttered before getting to my feet and stumbling towards the makeshift bar. Before I made it though I ran into someone and fell to the floor.

"Whoa are you okay?" My eyes met familiar brown ones and my jaw dropped in shock, "Hey you're that girl who hangs out with the YouTubers."

Vic held his hand out to help me up which I gladly accepted, "Thanks, and yeah I'm good friends with Jordan," How I was able to form complete sentences I don't know.

"I'm Vic by the way," a smile crept on my lips and my hands slid into my pockets, "I sing for Pierce the Veil, but you might have known that already."

I nod in response, "I'm Claire and yeah. On the first day I ran into a couple and they made me come watch your show. You guys are pretty good honestly."

"Thanks. Music has always been a huge part of my life," someone shouted his name and I recognized Jaime jumping from the middle of the crowd.

"I think your friend is calling you," a chuckle left my mouth at the obnoxious screams coming out of the other guy.

Vic chuckled and shook his head at the other adult, "he can wait," a smile formed on my face at this, "so are you here for the whole tour or are you just here for the first leg?"

"I'm here until Jordan kicks me out I guess," I joked and shrugged, "I can get pretty wild at times."

"You haven't seen anything yet," Vic replied, but before he could finish what he was saying Jaime began yelling for him again.

"Victor get you scrawny Mexican ass over here!" My hand instinctively slapped across my mouth to keep from laughing.

The long haired boy in front of me shook his head at his friends comment before looking back at me, "well it was nice to finally meet you instead of watching from afar. I'll see you around."

With that he disappeared in the crowd.

"I think I'm going to head back to the bus now," I whispered to Alex while holding my head in my hands.

It was around midnight now, and everyone was somehow still going strong. Jordan and Johnnie had ran off somewhere with Ben and Andy from As It Is, and I haven't seen anyone else since we were on the bus earlier.

Alex nods and looks around to find someone to replace me, "Alright just be careful okay?"

I nod and begin walking back in the direction of the bus only to see Vic now on a table twirling his shirt above his head and shouting things that didn't make sense, "Damn Jaime what did you do to Vic?" I whispered to myself and chuckled a bit.

Instead of watching where I was walking my eyes were glued to Vic's figure, and I ran into someone once again. Although this time two arms wrapped around me before I could fall, "I'm so sorry are you okay?"

When I looked in front of me there was a tall figure there wearing a beanie. His top and bottom lips were pierced and his body was covered in tattoos, but his eyes were the familiar shade of brown ones that I'd been captivated by since I arrived, "No I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I was going."

"I'm Mike Fuentes from Pierce the Veil," the tall guy said while scratching the back of his neck awkwardly.

That's why his eyes were so familiar. He's Vic's younger brother, "I'm Claire Larson. I'm just a friend of one of the YouTubers on the tour."

He nods his head slowly and takes a sip of his drink, "well it was nice to meet you Claire but I need to go save my brother from embarrassing my last name even more than he already has."

I nod in agreement and glance at Vic to see him down another shot, "okay I guess I'll see you around."

Mike began to walk away only to give me a quick glance as if he was debating on something, "hey you should come watch our set from backstage in Arizona."

I bit my lip thinking the request through before nodding, "um sure, I guess I can."

He smiled slightly before running over to Vic and throwing his older brother over his shoulder as well as grabbing Jaime's arm before heading for the exit.
