Your Nickle Ain't Worth My Dime (A Sleeping with Sirens fan fiction)

All Around Me

*Jamie's POV*

I woke up with a pounding headache and only a faint memory of last night. Ugh. Hangovers suck.

I sat up and looked around. This was not my room. Nor was it Mariah's room. Or Jeydon's room. Or any room that I had ever seen before. What the hell happened last night?

I heard a shower turn off and a bathroom door open. "Want some coffee?" somebody called out from in there.

"Coffee sounds good," I answered. But who exactly was I answering too? And why did I wake up with a hangover in the same hotel room as them? A hotel room that I realized only had one bed.

Jaime walked out of the bathroom, in only a towel, carrying a mug of steaming coffee. Wow. Did not see that one coming. With the coffee came the memories, which were welcome only to a certain extent. I was not a good drunk.

~FLASHBACK~

I had a new water bottle filled with any alcohol I could find and was standing at the stage door. Pierce The Veil was just finishing their last song. I chugged the contents left in the bottle and dropped it to the floor again. New and different dreams coming true tonight, I decided.

Mikey walked off, then Tony, then Jaime, and Vic last. I smiled at 3 of them as they walked past, then I grabbed Jaime by his belt loop and pulled him towards me. "I'm bored," I whined.

He handed his guitar to somebody walking past and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. "How can we fix this?" he asked as he slid his hand into my back pocket. It seemed like he already knew what I had in mind.

I smiled at him before grabbing another one of his belt loops in my other hand. "We can leave here," I suggested.

He raised his eyebrows, clearly intrigued to see what I had in mind. "Sounds like you have a plan."

I shrugged, flicking my hair over my shoulder and batting my eyelashes. "Would you like to know what it is?"

He nodded and, instead of telling him, I grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the venue. We went out one of the back doors. I didn't really feel like getting mobbed by the group of fans that were leaving the show. I pulled him all the way to the hotel that Mariah, Jeydon and I had decided that we would stay at tonight.

We got a room, and I went straight into the mini-fridge, taking out the little bottles of alcohol and making myself a drink. Jaime took the drink out of my hand. "Jamie, you're not allowed to drink," he said.

I pouted my bottom lip and sat down on the bed. "Party pooper," I muttered. "I thought you were going to entertain me."

He took a sip of the drink. "I can do that without giving you a drink."

I crossed my arms over my chest. "They're going to charge you for that, so you might as well let me drink it."

He shook his head and drank the entire thing. Oh well. I tried. He sat down on the bed next to me and pulled me onto his lap, smiling as he kissed me. I could still taste the drink I had just made on his lips.

The alcohol soon took over, at least for me, and it all escalated pretty quickly. I would have some explaining to do in the morning.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

Well that cleared some things up. "I was really-"

"Drunk?' Jaime suggested. I nodded and looked down at my hands. "I could taste the vodka."

That was an awkward thing to say. In general, this was a pretty awkward situation. I was, like, half naked and drinking coffee like it was the most normal thing. I excused myself, pulling on my tee shirt and jeans from the day before.

Now, my goal was to get rid of the reoccurring thoughts of Adam and find the room that Mariah and Jeydon were in. This could take a while.

*Mariah's POV*

What do you do when your best friend runs off with a member of one of your favorite bands? Well, I don't know what you're supposed to do, but I went walking around Syracuse for a few hours. After a while, it was almost 3 in the morning, and I was tired. I decided that she was with Jaime, and he wouldn't let her do anything stupid.

We went to the hotel, hoping that she knew she could find us there. No sense in breaking a routine, so as Jeydon showered, I texted Damon and asked him if he's awake.

Yeah, Skypsies?(:

As soon as the message came through, so did his Skype call.

"You work fast," I told him.

He shrugged. "So, how was the show?"

I shrugged. "Are you wearing your cat shirt?" I asked him, trying to change the subject.

"Yeah. It's a new one, actually. But how was the concert?" He wasn't going to let this go, especially because I had already tried to change the subject.

"You've been to one, backstage and everything. You know what it was like. There were tons of people and loud music and it was kind of chaotic."

"Mya, tell me what's wrong or what happened."

My phone vibrated next me and I heard the shower turn off.

From: KellinQuinnsmileyface(:

Jaime called Vic and sounds like some shit went down. I want all the girly details later!

To: KellinQuinnsmileyface(:

ew. i don't even want all the girly details. but i will call you in the morning

"MARIAH!" Damon yelled. "Stop getting distracted!"

"You know, you sound like kind of a hypocrite."

"Just tell me what happened." Jeez. He was pushy today.

"Well, for starters, Jamie apparently stole some liquor and took off with Jaime last night. Don't really know what was happening there," I admitted. I mean, I know that Adam was a douche bag who broke her heart and all, but I think she may have taken the whole distraction thing to an unnecessary level.

"Don't forget to tell him how you left before Kellin went on," Jeydon said, sitting down next to me.

I glared at him and felt myself flush. I had been trying to avoid that topic. "That's not really important," I said. shaking my head.

"I disagree," Damon said. "Tell me more."

"There were a lot of people, and I was uncomfortable, so I left. Okay?"

"Way to go, Jey," Damon said. "You made her all awkward now." Jeydon shrugged next to me. "Now smile for me, Mya."

I shook my head.

"I'm gonna make you smile," Damon said.

"Oh really? How do you plan on doing that?" Like I'd said before, I was stubborn. They were not going to get the satisfaction.

"I'm-skies going to-skies say-skies '-skies' after everything-skies because it-skies will make-skies you smile-skies," he said.

I swear, he knew me too well. I couldn't help but laugh. Damn him. "Yeah, that worked," I told him.

He did it for the rest of the conversation, but I kind of fell asleep before it was officially over.

I woke up to a loud knocking at the door. I got up, nearly running into the wall, and answered the door to see Jamie. She came right in and sat down on the bed I had just left empty. "I need to talk to you," she said, sounding pretty distressed.

Ugh. I had a feeling I would need a few pots of coffee for this one.

*A/N My friend and I decided that Jamie needed some drama, so there it is. I'm thinking maybe Damon needs some next. What should it be? Thanks for reading! Please, COMMENT, VOTE, and KEEP READING. (: xoxo
