I stepped onto the stage, a wide grin on my face as I waved at all of my fans. There wasn't a ton of people, but it felt huge to me. "How are y'all bitches tonight??" I shouted into the microphone, turning it to the audience, and receiving various answers back. "Alright we're-" I was cut off when I saw Kellin run on stage, in front of me, with roses in his hands. "Kellin? What are you doing?" He bit his lip as he looked at me.

"These are for you." I blushed slightly, taking a hold of the gorgeous flowers, and looking back at Kellin. Before I could say anything, he stepped forward, grabbing my shoulders. "I want to say sorry for being a dick, and changing the way I am. It's not me," he began to lean forward, while I stood there, shocked.

In a brisk motion Kellin was yanked away from me, landing on the stage a few feet away. I quickly glanced to the audience who had the same shocked faces as mine. I looked up to who tossed Kellin back, to see Andy there, the same roses I got from Kellin in hand. He reached a hand to me but I backed away. "What's going on?"

"Please just accept my apology," he took a hold of my wrist but I pulled it back, a frown on my face. "Please (f/n)! I've never meant to be a dick to you, or cheat on Juliet with you, I-" I put I hand up, trying to stop him from thinking. Tears threatened to fall and I don't know why.

The audience started to pool out of the grassy area, leaving Archie, Roy, and Anthony to stand behind me just in case. "Guys, what is with you two?" I asked as Kellin finally made his way closer to me, even though I took another step back.

"Can't you see? We both want you and want you to be ours," I frowned at Andy's choice of words. I shook my head, setting a hand to it.

"And I'm winning," Kellin sneered, Andy turning to him and shoving his chest. Kellin's eyes darkened as he punched Andy, sending him back. Andy flipped them over, sending a punch to kellin's nose.

"Stop!" I shouted, finally mustering together enough strength to go behind Andy and try and yank him away. A growl escaped his lips as he shoved me back, sending me to the ends of the stage. I fell right at the edge, toppling down to the ground, and landing on my head. I'm just prone to pain I suppose.

Groaning, I set a hand in my forehead, that was already pounding with a head ache. After all this stuff with Vic and Kellin and Andy, I can't help but feel stressed. The only one acting like themselves is Vic. Finally focusing again, I saw all the guys standing around me, worry across their faces. "Are you okay?" I recognized the voice as Vic's. He took my hand, helping me up and putting an arms around my shoulder, knowing of my dizzy state.

"We'll get the bus," I nodded weakly, leaning into Vic as Archie, Anthony, and Roy ran off.

"See what you fucking did!?" Kellin shouted, pointing straight at me as if I couldn't tell. Vic shook his head, passing straight by the two fighting singers, setting me in the stage steps to sit on.

"Why does Vic always get to comfort her?" I frowned at Andy's words. The two sound crazy, like they worry more about competition rather than what I feel.

"Stop," the blabbing silenced and I sighed, setting my head weakly onto Vic's shoulder. "The reason why Vic gets to comfort me is because he isn't the one hurting me," I said in a flat tone. I'm done, so very done of my heart being tugged in different directions because of a competition.

Vic, he's never hurt me. He's been there, with a shoulder to cry on, a hotel room to share, and love to give. No matter what, he never turned and acted insane, even when I said we should all be friends. He was hurt, yes, but he didn't express it.

Vic has respect for me, something Andy and Kellin don't really have. I've noticed that a lot more per interaction with them, that Vic, no matter what, is sweet and kind, and Kellin and Andy no matter where or when or what or why, they are silently killing each other. And to think it's because of me is worse.

I've made up my mind. It's taken quite awhile, but I like Vic. I just do, there isn't anything specific but Vic is just Vic- and Vic is perfect, and means a lot to me. A small smile appeared on my face at the realization. I repositioned my head in Vic's shoulder, making sure to breathe in a little of his scent. It may be creepy, but we all do it, don't we?

He smelled of cologne. Not cheap cologne, but the cologne you want him to spray extra on his hoodies so that when you wear him it's like you're always cuddling him. It's the best smell, especially when mixed with syrup, which he also smelled like. A strange combination, but it was like heaven as a smell.

I was snapped back into reality by my name being called. I was still in Vic's arms, sitting on the steps of the stage, and before me was my tour bus, Archie, Anthony, and Roy. From what I see before me, Kellin and Andy were gone. "Come on," Vic gently ushered, guiding me with a tiny push of my elbow.

I got into the tour bus, Vic following in after me. "Want me to stay," I smiled a little bit, earning a smile back. "Alright, I'll call the guys," I nodded as he set his phone to his ear. He gave me a small smile, before leaving the room saying 'Hey Mike,'. I sat down on the couch, replaying today's strange events in my head.

I have no idea why Kellin and Andy were acting like that. They both are treating me like id be their property, a brand new shiny toy they got to show off, and I didn't like that. I feel like I've ruined their friendship. They used to be so friendly to each other, always hanging out, and I can't help but think I killed the peace.

Their love is blinded, though, and I can tell. They're masked with their 'love' for me, and that's why I have to for sure stay clear of any moves they might pull. A sigh escaped my lips just as Vic walked in. "I'm staying!" I grinned, pulling him into a hug.

"We don't have extra bucks I don't think," I said with a frown, looking at Vic after the floor.

"I can sleep with you?" He offered, a small smile on his face. I knew he was genuine, not wanting to pull anything so I smiled as well.

"Sure,"

The rest of the day was completely uneventful, mostly consisting of jokes about Vic being a 'girl' (Bryan Stars though), and Roy, Archie and Anthony making bad puns and telling random stories. They knew me well. The best way to cheer me up was by being random, and for any situation that worked. "You're yawning again, you should get some sleep. This week has been rough for you," I nodded in agreement.

I gave them all a hug, looking at Vic and he held up a finger. "Goodnight guys," I blew then all a joking kiss, heading off to the bunks. I found my way to my bunk, getting in the bed and curling up in the warmed blankets. I closed the curtain, wrapping the blanket tighter around me as I faced the wall. I turned around though, when the curtain opened again to reveal Vic, without his usual beanie in.

He crawled into the cramp space, squishing up right next to me. "Okay please don't get mad but I'm just gonna-" he paused and pulled my body slightly in top of his, so I was cuddling him. I smiled again his chest, laughing a bit as he pulled the blankets over both of us. "Now sleep, ok?" I nodded against his chest, drifting off to sleep.

(Vic's P.O.V)
I saw that (f/n) was drifting off into sleep slowly, her eye lids shutting. It sounds creepy, but she looks so peaceful when she sleeps. I placed a gentle, small kiss on her forehead, closing my eyes so that it was now my turn to fall asleep. I couldn't help but fall asleep to the thought of (f/n). She's just perfect.

And I know I like her a lot more than I thought.
