After their set the boys practically sprinted back to the bus. I thought Vic was going to pull my shoulder out of place because of how fast he was running. Not long after, we had to take a break so Jaime and Jesse could calm their breathing. We decided to stay at a steady walk for the rest of the way.

Vic absentmindedly wrapped his arm around my waist, which I didn't protest, before kissing the top of my head. I'm surprised Mike didn't yell at him again, but instead the tall boy just held a smile on his face while watching Vic and I.

"Hey Tony, what are you doing tonight?" Jaime's words caught my attention. He was next to me with his phone pressed to his ear. "Would you want to Skype us in a few hours we want you to meet someone."

I'll admit I was really worried about this. Tony was going to be the hardest for me to get to know because, according to Vic, he's really shy around people he doesn't know.

A hand waved in front of my face, bringing me out of my thoughts, "we've been standing outside the bus for a couple of minutes now and you haven't noticed. Is everything okay?"

"Y-yeah," damn my stuttering, "I'm just really nervous about meeting Tony... What if he doesn't like me?"

Vic pulled me into a tight hug and chuckled lightly, "Hon, how can someone NOT like you? You're really sweet, you're easy to talk to, and you're beautiful."

I felt heat rise to my cheeks when what he said finally processed in my head. Vic just called me beautiful....

"Hey love birds, let's go. I was able to convince the driver to leave early," Jesse said while sticking his head out the door.

The drive wasn't all too bad. Jesse and Jaime had gone to their bunks to take a nap; Mike and Vic were watching a soccer match, leaving me to fend for myself.

I silently crept back to my bunk and pulled out one of my psychology textbooks and my laptop. I'll admit I hate school, but we all have to do it so we can get good jobs, you know? Me being my stupid self I decided to waste my early twenties partying with Jordan instead of going to college, so here I am now; twenty seven and just finishing my senior year.

Due to the fact that I came on this tour I've been turning all of my projects and such in through email. My teachers somehow understood where I was coming from when I said my friend was dragging me to America without a choice.

"What are you doing?" Vic moved from his spot next to Mike so he was now next to me watching me work over my shoulder.

"Just finishing the last of my assignments," I whispered while turning to the page with a sticky note hanging out of it.

Vic's hot breath on my neck was making it incredibly hard to concentrate. "You're still in college? What in the world are you studying?"

"I started when I was twenty four," my eyes skimmed over the page and I quickly typed up some answers to my teacher's questions.

A pair of lips teasingly attached to mine causing my breath to hitch in my throat. My eyes shot up to where Mike had been only to see that the tall boy was knocked out. Vic's lips attached to my neck again causing me to let out a low whimper, "V-Vic I need to do this..."

He groaned but kept placing little kisses down my neck. I slammed my laptop shut before pushing the boy down on the couch so I could get on top of him, "you stubborn shit."

Our lips clashed in a hungry kiss which lasted for a few minutes before we had to pull away for air. "You know you love it," he whispered huskily trying to catch his breath.

I bit my lip and chuckled at him before crawling off and pulling my laptop back onto my lap. This time Vic didn't mess with me much, just watched me work and snuck in a couple little pecks here and there.

I nervously watched as Jaime signed into his Skype account so we could phone Tony. Vic had run off with Jesse to find some food and Mike was behind me attempting to braid my hair, which was actually quite entertaining.

"So are you excited to meet our little turtle?" Mike whispered from behind me. I bet he could feel the nervousness radiating off my body because he let out a hearty chuckle, "he'll love you there's no need to worry. "

"Pizza!" Jesse yelled while Vic walked into the room holding three boxes in his hands.

"Guys he's online!" Jaime shouted from his spot in front of the computer before quickly hitting the video call button.

Vic handed him a piece of pizza then one to Mike. I watched in anticipation as the call was connecting before Tony's face popped up on the screen. He was wearing a tank top that I couldn't exactly read and a snapback on his head, "hey guys!"

"Tony!" everyone in the room shouted except for me. I still felt awkward for the fact that I don't know the poor boy.

"Oh there's a girl! Who fucked her?" I felt my face go pale from shock. Did he really just ask that?"

"HE FUCKED HER!" Mike, Jaime, and Jesse yelled while pointing at Vic whose face was red. The group fell into laughter after, including Vic.

"I didn't mean that literally," Tony said while awkwardly scratching the back of his neck, "one of the first songs I learned on guitar was Damnit by Blink-182, so whenever one of the guys has a new girl I'll say that."

"One of the lines in the song is he fucked her," Jaime clarified for me. I nod in understanding before giggling slightly these boys are really something else.

"So, on a different note what's your name?" Tony asked with a shy smile covering his face.

I shot him a small smile before speaking up, "I'm Claire."

The six of us ended up talking for about five hours. When we finally said our goodbyes the sun was beginning to come up, but I didn't care. I threw my face in one of the pillows and was out within seconds.


I like writing parts with Tony in it. This story felt like it had a missing piece without him.

So, what was your favorite part of the APMA's?

Thank you for reading lovelies! :)
