One Shots

Darling You'll Be Okay (Vic Fuentes)

Aqua's POV

Here I am standing in a long line in the blinding sun. The heat is unbearable. I had just finished watching Pierce the Veil play. It is the first concert I'd ever been to. Warped Tour is amazing so far. I am waiting in line to meet the guys. I am so excited. Vic is my favorite and I'm really nervous about talking to him. The further in line I got, the more nervous I became. What if they didn't like me? What if they thought I'm ugly or stupid or fat or, the list went on and on. By the time I got to the front of the line I was about to have a nervous breakdown. But I'm pretty good at hiding that sort of stuff. "Oh my god! Are you okay?!" asked Tony. Oops, so maybe I'm not so good at hiding it. "Yeah. I'm fine." I said, taking in a large breath of air. "It's just the sun. It gets to me." He nodded. "It is pretty hot out today. Here, have a water bottle!" I turned to see Vic Fuentes looking at me, holding out a water bottle. I want to keep that water bottle forever. "Thanks" I said slowly. "I love your bracelet!" he said. I quickly hid my arm behind my back. "Oh, um... thank you." I replied. It was a bracelet that I made about a year ago. It said Pierce the Veil on it with music notes. "Let me see it!" he said excitedly. He grabbed my arm and I jumped back in terror. This couldn't be happening. "What's wrong?" he asked. I frowned. "I just wanted to see." He stopped mid-sentence. He had turned my arm over to inspect the bracelet when he saw them. Cuts covered my arms. Too many to hide with bracelets. My worst nightmare had come true. I wanted to die or disappear. I backed up and ran away as fast as my legs could carry me. "No wait!" Vic yelled. But I didn't listen. I ran until I came to an empty set of bleachers. I sat under them and curled up. I began to cry. Why do these sort of thing always have to happen to me? I sat there thinking for hours. I had a feeling growing inside of me. A very familiar feeling. The urge. I couldn't take it anymore. I reached in my pocket and pulled out my Altoids container. I opened it revealing a shiny, new razor. I hadn't even used this one yet. I took a deep breath holding it over my wrist. "STOP!" I heard someone yell. I jumped about six feet in the air, making me drop my razor which landed with a loud clash as it hit the concrete. I looked up and saw Vic. "Go away!" I screamed. He already thought I'm a loser. I covered my face with my hands and started crying again. I suddenly felt strong, warm arms surround me. "Shh. It's ok. Everything will be fine. I'm here" Vic whispered. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." I said. I didn't even know what I was apologizing for, but it seemed like the right thing to do. "I've been looking for you all day! Are you alright? You didn't hurt yourself did you?" he asked. He'd been looking for me?! ALL DAY?!? I just sort-of shook my head in response. I felt my chin being lifted by his finger, forcing me to look him in the eyes. His amazing eyes were swimming with concern. "I don't know who, or what caused you to do this. But I want you to know that you're better than them. You are beautiful, and strong, and there are lots of people that love you." he said. No one had ever said anything like that to me before. "It's not true!" I said violently shaking your head in disagreement. "No one likes me, and I'm most definitely not beautiful." I said as he cut me off by stroking your cheek with his thumb. "You're wrong" he whispered, "You are beautiful. And I like you. A lot." he said. He leaned in planting a soft kiss on my lips. I felt sparks as he kissed me. It was amazing. I spent the rest of the night there being in his arms. I talked about everything. By the morning I knew everything about him and he knew everything about me. "Come on tour with me?" he asked. "I would love to Vic." I said kissing him. He kissed me back and smiled. "There's a catch though." He said. I became worried. "You have to agree on being my girlfriend." He said. I laughed and kissed him. "Of course and by the way my name is Aqua." I said. He laughed and kissed me. We stood up. I threw out my Altoids container and headed back to his bus with him so we could go get my stuff.
