Sierra's POV

I walked up to the Escape The Fate bus with a jaw-breaking grin on my face; I'm finally with him! After months of having a stupid, unwanted on him that developed into real feelings I finally found out his silly crush at the start did too and I'm finally with him, it seems stupid because it's only been a few months, but I'm just really happy!

"Little Red?" I heard from inside the bus as I knocked on the door.

"Get your ass out here and hug me," I laughed and the door swung open revealing a black blur that ran towards me and hugged me tightly. "Hey Craig," I laughed.

"Little red you're not red anymore," He frowned as he picked up a piece of my raven hair.

"I dyed it last year, do you even follow my instagram?" I laughed.

"Yeah I do, you only post really old selfies, if any at all," Craig laughed.

"I missed you muffin," I pouted, ignoring his statement.

Craig rose his eyebrows at the weird name, but shrugged it off. "I missed you too red."

"How's your wife," I smirked and nudged his side.

"She's amazing, how's Ricky?" He replied, wiping the smirk off of my face.

"How do you know about that?" I asked.

"It's all over social media, the guys and the fans all go crazy about you, they ship you really hard," Craig chuckled.

"They do," I asked, biting my lip to fight back a smile.

"Yeah, and you do too I see," He smirked at me.

"No," I lied in a high-pitched voice and mentally cursed at myself for being so bad at hiding things.

"Little red I can read you like easier than I can read my child stories at bedtime," Craig chuckled. "So I'm gonna ask you again, how are you and Ricky?"

"Depends how much you know," I  teased.

"I know you guys are constantly flirting, I know he likes you and you like him, I know everyone except Ashley is all for your relationship and I know you're both in denial that the other likes them back."

"And where the fuck did you hear all of that?" I exclaimed.

"Tumblr," He shrugged.

"Of course," I rolled my eyes.

"So tell me," He whined and shook me softly.

I bit my lip to hold back the huge smile fighting to get on my face and looked down at the ground. "Okay so today he was saying all this stuff, he told me really nice things-"

"Girl what did he tell you?" He squealed like a teenage girl.

"I was getting to that," I giggled. "He was telling me how much he likes me and how much I mean to him and exactly why he likes me and just genuinely all of these nice things."

"Then what?" Craig asked eagerly.

"He kissed me."

"He kissed you?" Craig exclaimed loud enough for at least twenty people to turn around and look at us, one of them being Balz, another being Denis who was watching intently and another being the man himself: Ricky.

"Will you be quiet?" I hissed as my cheeks flushed.

"He kissed you?" He asked quieter than the first time. I nodded, a huge grin on my face. "Yes Ricky!" Craig yelled.

"Shut up!" I groaned and hid my face in my hands.

"C'mon I'm happy for you, plus I've spoken to him recently and he was moaning about how much he likes you so I'm glad he finally got the balls to do it."

"Me too," I agreed, refusing to look back at Ricky and Denis praying Balz hadn't figured it out because of he tells Chris or Ash, I'm screwed.

--

"Honey I'm home," I yelled, walking into the tour bus after hanging out with Craig all day.

"Where've you been?" Ashley asked.

"With Craig," I shrugged.

"Ooh is that your boyfriend?" Ryan asked in a teasing tone and Ricky glared at him.

"No," I mimicked his tone.

"You're just in time for food my dear," Chris grinned and span me around then placed a plate of chicken wings on the table for me.

"What's up with Sally Sunshine?" I muttered to Ricky once I sat down next to him.

"Well he's spent the day with Ashley so it could be that, or it could be the chicken wings because he really loves chicken wings." Ricky chuckled softly and quickly kissed under my ear when no one was looking. "Also hi," He giggled.

"Hi," I replied. "How was your day?"

"It was good, we played a good set, we played video games, the usual," He shrugged.

"That's cool," I smiled.

"Yeah," He replied, smiling. "I also overheard yours and Craig's conversation, that was really cute." He teased.

"Yeah, he told me about your guy's conversation too - so cute!" I teased back and he shoved me slightly.

"So how was your day?" Ash asked as she sat across from me.

"It was good, Craig and I played loads of video games, I saw Kevin and Robert again and I met their guitarist TJ, he's cool." I felt Ricky tense up beside me and turned to look at him concerned. "Are you alright?"

"Fine," He grumbled.

"They all have a grudge against TJ," Ash whispered. "I'll explain later," She then mouthed at me.

I took a small bite of chicken and then pushed the plate away. Ashley gave me a warning look and Ricky raised his eyebrow at me. "I had dinner with Craig, I'm really full," I explained.

"Okay," He said slowly, eyeing me skeptically.

"I'm going to bed," I muttered, feeling really uncomfortable under his stare.

"Goodnight," He sighed, giving me a quick hug.

"Yeah," I murmured dazily, shuffled past everyone and went into the bunk room, suddenly feeling really lightheaded so I quickly lay down in my bunk, without taking my clothes off and quickly drifted out of consciousness.

Ahh I haven't updated in ages I'm so sorry! I had writers block and I've been so sad lately like it takes me half an hour to will myself out of bed this morning, but I'm sorry, I will try harder to update ever Friday or at least most! I love you all so much! Stay beautiful!
