Can't Be Touched

No Regrets

Kayla in multimedia! *so adorbs*

*Kayla's POV*

Chris was pretty upset. Actually, that was kinda an understatement. He was currently chastising me on how reckless I was being. He was doing it pretty loudly as well.

"What the hell were you thinking, Kayla? Brad hurt you and you wondered right back into your studio, into his arms. What if he hurt you? God, Kayla, what if-"

"Shut up, okay! Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I was going back to get my camera so I could get back to work! I am not your sister, your pet, or anything of the sorts!"

I had gotten up from my seat and was slowly pushing Chris against the wall, jabbing my index finger into his chest.
"Get a girlfriend, busy yourself with work! Ya know, just because Brad slept with another woman doesn't mean that he's some wife beater." I crossed my arms and held my stance.

"If he's such a wonderful person, why'd you have all those bruises when you came to my house?!" He retorted.

"Rough, consensual sex from a week earlier! I came home from work and we got into it on the dining room table. So i apologize that my sex life is more interesting than your fake bad boy act." I threw my hands up in the air and stalked back to my bunk.

*Chris' POV*

I watched her walk away, stunned. She'd never lost her temper like that before. She also never touched the subject of sex. Hell, she's never pushed me away until now.

"You fucked up, big time." I turned around to see Vinny on the couch, eating a bowl of cereal. He wasn't looking at me, but was watching the TV.

I sighed and walked over to the couch opposite to him, sitting down. I leaned forward and rubbed my temples in annoyance.

"I did it for her own good."

"No, you did it because you like her." I began to protest but he cut me off. "You like her and you don't want to see her around her ex, in fear you might become obsolete."

I just stared at Vinny. He was the guy that was never serious. I was shocked he picked up on something like this. It aggravated me that he knew me so well.

Vinny stood, walking to the mini kitchen and threw his foam bowl away. He leaned his arms on the table and watched me before speaking.

"This is the only time I'll have that conversation with you. You either man up and tell her you love her, or you pussy out and she leaves. Your choice."

With that he walked back to the bunks, more than likely to check on Kayla. Ricky and Balz had already gone back there to comfort her.

"That statement was misogynistic" Ghost piped up and I couldn't help but crack a tired smile.

*Kayla's POV*

I sat in my bunk, crouched over my pink laptop. I was making sure that he didn't delete any pictures or leave messages.

I was scrolling through my folders when someone knocked on the frame of my bunk. I opened it to see Vinny, two chocolate bars in hand. I smiled and scooted to one side so he could sit at the other.

He showed me the bars and let me have my pick. Raspberry filled dark chocolate or raspberry filled white chocolate. I plucked the white chocolate from his hand and thanked him.

We sat in comfortable silence. Vinny was always a reliable friend if I was ever upset or just wanted someone to hang with. I decided to break that silence.

"I think that...I think that after tour I need to move out of Chris' apartment. We're around each other too much for our own good." I awaited his response, closing my laptop and pushing it to the side.

"I think that could have it's benefits. Although, you know Chris is just trying to look out for you. He's doing it wrong, but he's trying. I would be sad to see you go." He gave me a small smile.

"C'mon, not like I'd be leaving for good. You'd still see me. Besides, I promised you I'd take your pictures for the Trap Demon EP. We signed a contract, remember."

"Yeah, that contract was written on a pizza box." He pointed out.

"A contract is a contract. I framed that pizza lid. I'll take your ass to court if you don't abide by it." I threatened.

He laughed at me and put his hands up in mock surrender. Vinny was a good egg. I was overjoyed when he was put into the lineup. Official member or not, I relied on him for basic and complex things.

"Besides, I already called a friend of mine who lives in the same area. He offered his guest room. Plus, he needed a roommate and a photographer so it worked out."

Vinny sighed and scratched his head.

"Alright nugget. If that doesn't work out, there's a bed in the attic of my house. I'd let you stay there if you needed."

I smiled and leaned over, hugging him. It was an awkward hug, but a hug nevertheless. He got out of my bunk after that, leaving me to my work.

I finished up my candy bar and just went through some old files. Like, files from almost two or three years ago.

They were pictures I'd forgotten. Pictures of Bradley and I. Some were of just Bradley and others were us together. I had honestly forgotten how much fun we used to have.

I closed my laptop and got out of my bunk with it. I needed to plug it in for the night so it could charge. I walked into the back lounge where Ryan and Balz were playing Hockey video games.

I plugged in the laptop, trying not to disturb them. By the time I got back to my bunk, it was close to 12pm. I yawned and shut everything off, taking a very much needed nap before set up time.

The concert was tomorrow, which gave us plenty of time to just hang out, but I wanted to get set up done and over with.
