"Just Friends" -Vic Fuentes ❤

Chapter 5

  I woke in a small room with bright lights that reminded me of a hospital. As I sat up from where I was laying, I realized I was in the emergency room back stage. Seeing my arm was wrapped in fresh gaus, memories of what happened before I blacked out raced through my mind. My head shot towards the door when I heard it open, A very distraught Vic walked in. 

  "Aleah, what happened baby?" He gasped rushing to my side. I didn't answer him right away, I only wrapped my arms around his waist as tight as I could without putting too much strain on my still very sore arm. "I was so worried." He breathed into my hair, kissing the side of my head. "I'm so so sorry Vic. I really am, I promise I wont do it again. I don't know why I did it! I shouldn't have let someone as horrible as Kellin hurt me. Please forgive me." I babbled letting fresh tears fall. 

  Vic looked into my clouded eyes, looking like he hadnt slept in days when in all actuallity i was only passed out about an hour. "You mean so much to me Aleah, I could never lose you. I never want this to happen ever again beautiful." he spoke softly but firm. I shook my head slowly as he rised my bandaged arm to his lips, kissing it gentely. "Come on, lets get you back to the bus." He forced a smile turning around and hoisting me up onto his back.

  "Vic, I can walk!" I laughed clinging to his body so I wouldn't lose my balance and fall. "maybe I want to carry you babe." He said slyly running down the backstage hallways weaving between people sending us strange glances. "Everyone thinks we're crazy!" I giggled as he yelled out random things every so often. "I'm okay with that." He replied tilting his head so he could kiss my hand that was still wrapped around his chests. 

  "Guys, Aleah's back!" He shouted managing to make it up the stairs of the tour bus with me still on his back. An eruption of gasps and worried looks were sent in my direction as I slid off of Vic and walked towards the guys sitting on the couch. "Whats wrong with you Lee?" Jamie was the first to say something after the awkward silence fell. Vic walked by him hitting him on the side of the head before standing behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist.

  "Ow, the fuck man?" He shot at Vic clutching his head. Tony and Mike laughed a bit before returning to their serious composure.  "A lot is wrong with me, obviously for me to do that. but I'm really sorry I didn't mean to make any of you worry, I just need to learn to stay away from guys since they're all dicks." I sighed giving them a half smile to reassure them I'm okay. Tony reached his arms out from the couch and I gladly moved closer to welcome his embrace. after, I moved down to hug Mike and jamie's faces since their position made it difficult to hug anything else.

  "Not all guys are all that bad Aleah." Mike smirked pointing behind me. My face scrunched up in confusion, turning I realized Vic was still holding onto my waist. I smiled up at him as he lowered his face inches away from mine. "Aleah Rae Mason, please be mine." Vic's warm breath tickled my lips as he spoke slowly. My eyes went wide, and I tried to open my mouth to speak but his lips came crashing into mine. Butterflies? Yes, butterflies. This time I was certain what I felt when we kissed. A tingling sensation shot through my body, right to my finger tips. As he ended the gentle kiss, I moved my hands up to his neck and stared into his worried eyes. "Yes." I whispered still in shock.

 The guys behind us, stood up from the couch clapping and cheering. "finally." Tony laughed. Vic lifted me from the ground, positioning me on his shoulder while laughing brightly. "Vic! Put me don't before I break my face!" I yelped clinging to the back of his shirt. "Hey, that's Vic my sexy boyfriend to you princess!" I couldn't help but laugh at the thought of him being my boyfriend, it seems unreal. I would never had thought the guy that was perfect for me in every way has been by my side for nearly 7 years. I smiled thinking about it.

    "Stay safe you two." Jamie called as Vic headed for the bunks with me dangling from his shoulder. Vic made sure to throw his middle finger into the air in jamie's direction before placing his hand back on me so I wouldnt fall. He laid me down on his bed and crawled in beside me, positioning us so I was able to rest my head on his shoulder. "Vic.." I said softly looking up at him. He kissed my forehead before mumbling a 'hmm' signaling me to continue. I thought for a while before i knew exactly what I wanted, needed, to say. "I love you." I let out pushing my body closer to him.

  "I love you too, Lee." Vic replied almost instantly, wrapping his arms tighter around me.
