Ancient History//Cody Carson

Chapter Eight: When You Cannot See The Light

Cody POV

I had to go back on tour. I decided that I would take Eisley with me. We were currently packing up our bags and making sure we had everything.

"Guys, let's go!" Maxx yelled from downstairs.

"Alright!" I yelled back and turned my attention to Eisley. She had her dark brown hair put up in a ponytail, her eyeliner thin and simple. She was wearing one of our shirts, my black hoodie, and a pair of black shorts with toms. She looked absolutely perfect. I kissed her and grabbed her hand, walking down the staircase.

"Ready for Warped Tour? I'll tell you now it's going to be hell." I chuckled.

"I am. Besides, spending 3 months with 4 sweaty guys isn't gonna be easy." She playfully punch my arm and kissed me. We grabbed our bags and headed onto the bus. Eisley raced to the back to the back to get the bigger bed.

"Of course you would. Sadly, that's for our manager. But this bunk is ours. I decorated it so you would feel at home." I pulled her up gently and kissed her, opening the curtain of our bunk. Inside was small white room lights and framed pictures of us from when we were in high school. A wide smile grew on her face. She stepped up on the bunk and climbed in, choosing her spot.

Eisley POV

I climbed into the bunk and found a spot to settle into. I seen a box that Cody had always kept in his nightstand. It was all of our old photos that we took throughout high school. I teared up a little just looking at the box itself.

"Cody... You saved all of these?" He jumped in and pulled me into his lap, wrapping his arms around me.

"I did. This one here is my absolute favorite." He opened the box, grabbing the one on top from Junior Year when we went on a class trip to Washington D.C. Cody and I were paired together and we went around to different places like Cocova, which is was a nice chocolate restaurant filled with fancy, handcrafted chocolates. In the photo, Cody accidentally poured chocolate onto my shirt and he had his arms wrapped around me while we were laughing.

"That day was absolutely incredible. It was just you and I, going around and being complete idiots in a big city like Washington D.C." He kissed the side of my head.

"Let's go again. When we hit Washington, we're going to go back. I know it's been about 5 or 6 years, but we'll go back"

"Really?" He nodded his head and gently rubbed my back.

"I'd love that." I whispered.

2 hours later 

Cody POV

We hit the road and we were headed to Pomona, California for the first day of Warped. Eisley had fallen asleep in the bunk and I was in the lounge with the guys.

"So... Cody, how are you and Eisley?" Maxx asked.

"Better than ever. I don't know what it is, things are just a lot better between us." I smiled and continued to scroll through my phone.

"You better not hurt her again, Carson. She's my little sister. I will hunt you down if you ever do what you did to her again." I looked up at Maxx who now had a serious look plastered on his face.

"I don't plan on doing that again. I can't lose her again. I promise you that I will never do anything to hurt her." He sighed sharply and stood up.

"Don't make promises you can't keep, Carson. I mean it." He went to his bunk and it was just Dan, Zach, and I. They looked at me like I was a complete asshole. They knew what I did. I really didn't want to be reminded.

//FLASHBACK//

"Fuck... God you feel good.. Oh god.." I look down at the mystery girl, slurring my words and my vision almost fading. Her moans filled my ears, causing me to get sloppier and sloppier. I finally came and took off the condom, throwing it to the floor. All of a sudden, I hear the door slam open. It was Eisley. My body instantly filled with regret and anxiety. I just realized what I had done.

"ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?" She screams.

"Eisley please! I'm sorry!" I jump out of the best and rush to get my jeans on.

"NO FUCK YOU. I'M DONE." She storms out of the house. I grab her arm, but she loosened out of my grip.

"Please Eisley... I'm sorry!" I yell as she runs to her car.

I knew at that moment, it was over.

//PRESENT DAY//

I snap out of my thoughts, almost in tears. I shoot up from the couch and walk over to our bunk and climb in. I quickly wrap my arms around her, holding her as tight as I could and kiss her head.

"I'm sorry. For everything." I whisper.

"It's okay. All is forgiven" She whispers back.
