Dreamless Graves || Vic Fuentes

Chapter 10

"It's like I'm sleepwalking." Mike had a scared expression covering his face as I screamed along to the familiar Bring me the Horizon song playing. He and I were the only ones on the bus because Vic, Jaime, and Jesse decided to eat lunch later than us. "You know, you're surprisingly a little ball of energy."

His comment made me laugh a little, but I will admit this is the happiest I have been since I moved to this bus. I don't even know why I'm so happy, but I am. "Mike, let loose and have some fun!"

I grabbed his hand and started jumping around. Soon enough he melted into it and was dancing along with me as Hello Brooklyn by All Time Low began playing causing me to squeal. "You're a fan of them I see."

"Shut up," I muttered feeling heat rise to my cheeks. Mike laughed at my embarrassment, and I responded by shoving him lightly.

"Wow I thought you'd be stronger than that," with that comment I crossed my arms over my chest and fake pouted. "Awe that's adorable," Mike wrapped me into a hug before both of us erupted into a fit of laughter.

"So, what do you want to do? " I asked when he pulled away causing me to look up at him. Me only being 5'5" was a disadvantage at this point since he was about 6' tall.

"Well," he glanced down at his phone then back at me, "I need to run into town for a couple of things, so if you want to tag along you can."

Target was practically abandoned when Mike and I strolled inside after an hour walk. For the most part he and I were silent except for singing a few random lyrics lowly to ourselves. I haven't really had the chance to get to know him enough to know what to talk about yet.

"So, what's your story?" The silence was broken. I glanced up at Mike trying to make sure it was actually him who had spoken.

"What do you mean?" My eyes caught the DVD rack, and I started heading in that direction.

Footsteps followed behind me so I knew he was following me, "I mean I want to get to know the girl that my brother has the hots for."

My head immediately snapped back at him and a smirk was apparent on his face. "What are you talking about?"

"Come on Claire it's so obvious that Vic likes you," Mike said laughing slightly at my shock and confusion, "the way he watches you makes it obvious. Whenever you're brought up in a conversation lately his eyes just light up, and ever since you came on our bus he's been ten times happier."

"Maybe he's just happy to have a new friend in his life," I didn't really know what to think about the situation.

Mike moved closer to me and draped his arm around my shoulders, "Claire I know my brother. You make him happy and I think it would do him good to be with you, but that's only if you want to be with him also. I know you still have feelings for Jordan, even if you don't know you do yourself."

I open my mouth slightly before closing it and leaning my head on Mike's shoulder, "there are so many things Vic doesn't know about me, and if he finds out I feel like his opinion of me will change drastically."

"You don't need to worry about that happening." Mike's hand rubbed up and down my arm slightly which I found comforting, "Vic has had his problems. He'd never judge someone for theirs because he wouldn't want that in return."

"I was born in Portland." my voice came out as barely a whisper, "I grew up with one of those cliché fucked up families. My parents refused to get a divorce because of me, even though they were completely miserable."

Mike was listening intensely at my story, "nothing really interesting happened while I grew up, but once I graduated I met this guy Jackson at a My Chemical Romance concert... He and I ended up having a fall out, and so I decided to move to Australia. Although, that decision was mainly because I really wanted to see some fucking kangaroos."

"You wanted to watch kangaroos fucking? What?" He joked causing me to laugh. Mike glanced down at his watch before back at me, "shit we need to get the stuff and go."

I quickly grab a couple movies before sprinting to the cosmetic section and then the grocery section and lastly to the checkout lines. Mike also forcefully paid for the movies before grabbing my hand, and rushing out of the store and in the direction of the busses.

I could not stop laughing as the mark on Mike's cheek became more prominent by the second. On our way through the gates this girl walked up and said it was rude to impersonate band members for attention and called me a dumb slut before slapping him. It was probably one of the funniest things I've seen since tour began.

"I can't believe she actually hit me," he muttered still in shock about the confrontation, "I've never been hit for being myself before."

"I can't believe it either, but mainly because she didn't even ask for proof that you weren't Mike. She just automatically assumed you weren't," I did my best to hold in my laughter.

Mike and I slowly came closer to the bus, but a familiar voice caught my attention and caused my eyes to widen in fear. When I turned Jordan and Bryan stood there just staring at me in shock as if I was a ghost brought back from the dead.

"C-Claire?" Jordan choked out before glaring up at Mike who was still behind me, "what the hell man? You told me you hadn't seen her."

"Jordan I think you need to leave. She wanted some space which is why she's with us. I told you she was fine," I was pushed behind Michael and I heard the bus door open and reveal Vic and Jaime.

"Whatever," I could tell that he was frustrated and felt betrayed, but I needed some space from him. Before we came here I was with him every day, and after a while you do honestly get annoyed with a person and just want some space.

Vic ran over and pulled me into a tight hug, rubbing my back lightly and placing light kisses in my hair, "are you okay?"

I pull him closer to me and tucked my face into his chest, "yeah, I'll be okay." When I pulled away Mike sent me a weak smile before Vic pulled me onto the bus with him.

Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I'm really trying to break open Claire's relationship with everyone. 

So I assume everyone reading this story is a fan of Pierce The Veil.

What's your favorite album?

It's too hard for me to choose. I love all of them honestly.

See you soon!
