You Just Love To Hate Me || Ricky 'Horror' Olson (EDITING)

Chapter 25: You Said This Would Last Forever

Song for this chapter: Harder Than You Know - Escape The Fate

Vamp's POV

"Galaxy?" I asked as I laid on the couch with my head on Ricky's lap and legs on Flame's. Ricky got his cast and bandages and everything off the other day and is fully recovered, but is still being told to take it easy on his stomach because he doesn't get his stitches out for another week or so.

"Yeah?" He called from the kitchen.

"Come here a second?" I heard his feet slapping on the floor and then he stood in front of me and poked my stomach with an innocent smile. I rolled my eyes at his childlike behaviour. "I need to ask you guys something important."

"What's that?" He asked, more serious than before. I now had Flame's full attention as well, but Ricky was still on his phone and ignoring me like he had been all day. I don't know if I did something, but he's letting me lie like this so I don't think I have.

"Do you know how the doctor told the Motionless guys they weren't allowed to know me?" I asked. They both nodded slowly. "How come I was allowed to know you?"

"Well you'd know us for a long time, Revenge for your whole life basically and he thought spending time with us could trigger something so he allowed us to tell you who we were and everything, but you'd only know Motionless for a couple of years so knowing them would either mean you only get part of your memory back which means you could maybe forget the rest forever or it could mess with something in your brain and make it even harder for you to remember and make those memories permanently lost. Since you hadn't seen them for four years the doctor decided it was safe and since we hadn't triggered anything in those four years there was small hope they would, but no has."

"Oh," I nodded, kind of disappointed. "Galaxy?" I asked again, my voice a lot smaller than it was before and tears welling up in my eyes. I sat up so I was sat between Ricky and Flame and Flame put a comforting hand on my knee. "D-do you think I'll ever remember?" I asked, my voice breaking on 'remember' and a single tear rolling down my cheek.

"It's a possibility, but every day the chances get slimmer and slimmer," He sighed. I didn't know this.

I nodded and a single sob escaped my mouth. I couldn't look at any of them, I was embarrassed so I just clutched the couch, bit my lips to hold in all of the other sobs and let the tears run down my face, my face contorted in depression and pain. I heard a heavy sigh next to me then the weight next to me was lifted and the front door slammed shut moments later.

"What the fuck crawled up his ass and died?" Galaxy said.

"Obviously not his fucking attitude," Flame growled. "We have something to make you feel better," Flame told me.

"Really?" I asked hopefully, looking up at him through my eyelashes.

He nodded proudly. "Guess what band is going on tour with Escape The Fate in a week?"

"Are you serious?" I asked.

"Deadly," He grinned, nodding.

"That's amazing!" I exclaimed then remembered Ricky said something about a guy named TJ who I used to know and is now in Escape The Fate. I'll be meeting him. Did Ricky know? Is that why he's upset?

"Yeah so why don't you go pack and we'll tell the Motionless guys," Flame offered.

"Don't tell Ricky. I want to."

--

There was a knock on my bedroom door, which is strange because none of the guys ever knock. I kicked my half packed suitcase under my bed and yelled, "Come in!"

A sheepish looking Ricky walked in, a small, guilty smile on his face. I haven't heard from him since his random outburst seven hours ago - it's now 11pm. I glared at him and said nothing.

"Hi," He said nervously, his hands shoved in his pockets.

"Hello," I said bluntly. I'm angry at him, irritated; I needed his support and he stormed out.

"Can we talk?" He asked.

"You can," I shrugged.

"Will you listen?"

"If I don't get bored."

He sighed in aggravation, but sat down in front of me anyway. He took my hands and I pulled them away. I can't let him win me over like this, he knows what his touch does to me, I have to stay strong and stick to my ground.

"I'm so sorry for storming out earlier it's just I've been worrying about things and it all got too much hearing that. I know I shouldn't have and I know you needed me, but it got too much and I didn't want to explode on you," He apologised. When I said nothing he continued anyway. "Please talk to me, I know you're mad but I can't lose you and leave like this."

Leave? "What are you talking about?" I asked him.

"I didn't want to tell you because everything's been going so well and we've been together for like four months now and.." He groaned.

"Ricky tell me now," I demanded, slightly scared of what's happening.

"I'm leaving for tour with New Years Day. Tonight."

"Tonight?" I shrieked. "You didn't even think to tell me? Ricky what the hell!"

"I'm sorry I didn't know how to bring it up!"

"So instead you storm out on me earlier and make me believe I've done something awful and then come back to apologise and tell me you're leaving. How soon do you go?"

"Twenty minutes," He mumbled.

"Are you fucking serious? We've always told each other everything, been honest and trusted each other. I don't trust you any more Ricky. That's gone. You can go on tour and have a wonderful time I don't care. I don't want to see you right now."

"Please don't let me leave like this," He pleaded.

"It's your own fault. I'm constantly getting messed around by guys and I'm so fucking sick of it Ricky! I always believed you were different when you promised not to lie and hide things from me. Showing this shows that you could be hiding anything."

"Answer me one thing?" He pleaded. I looked up. "Is this the end of us."

"I-I don't know."

I'm so sorry! Don't hate me! They always make it through right? Hopefully...
