Bulletproof Love (Pierce the Veil fanfic)

Don't Even Start.

*Mikes P.O.V*

We walked towards her work in silence, just enjoying each other’s presence – well I hope she was enjoying mine because I was enjoying hers. We turned the corner and had a few shops to go before we reached hers. “Soooo,” I said dragging out the ‘o’. “You wanna hang again sometime?” I looked down at her to see her pull a sly smile and purse her lips. I looked back up straight and smiled. “Sure thing. When would you like to?” We stopped outside of her workplace and she swivelled on her feet to stand in front of me. I thought for a minute, of when I’d actually be free. “How about, hmm…” I was actually going to ask her if she wanted to come chill with the guys at a new club. “What about comi-” I stopped mid-sentence and remembered that she was still with Dylan. My face fell a little and I pulled my mouth to the side. Well fuck. I looked down and saw that she raised an eyebrow. “Okay well how about I just text you when we can hang again yeah?” She said with a little laugh. I smiled and nodded, shoving my hands into my pockets.

“Yeah, that sounds great.” She smiled then put her hands into her back pockets. “So I’ll see you later I guess?” I said taking a few steps back to head back to the escalade that was still parked outside of the coffee shop. Oh fuck great, a parking ticket will be waiting for me. She pulled a face then raised her arms. “No hug!?” I stopped in my tracks and smiled, walking back towards her and wrapping my arms around her body. Her arms wrapped around my neck and she felt so tiny, so fragile yet strong and free. Does that even make sense? She eventually unravelled from my arms and blushed a little, taking a few steps back to go into the shop. “Bye Mike.” She whispered and headed inside.

“Bye Ness.” I watched as she walked inside, her eyes holding onto my stare then disappearing. I looked up into the sky and grinned happily, walking back to the car. “Fuck yeah!”

*Vanessa’s P.O.V*

I walked up to the desk and picked up the stapler heading towards the room where the tattoo gun was buzzing. “Freeze motherfucker! Put up yo hands!” I said in the manliest voice I could make. Matt shot his head up and let out a laugh, but then raising his hands and playing along with my pretend robbery. “Ahh! Please don’t shoot me miss! Money’s in the till! Take it all!” I laughed and shot a few staples at him before heading back out the door. “Oh by the way Ness, Sophia said you didn’t have to work today. She’s taken the day off herself, so someone should be coming in shortly to take over her shift. Feel free to head on over to hers, I don’t know what’s up with her today.” He pursed his lips and continued tattooing away on his customer. I nodded and frowned a little, curious as to why Soph would be this way. “Okay sure. I’mma head over right now.”

“Take my car if you want, just don’t forget to come get me.” He said with a laugh. I nodded and headed out back to grab the keys from the bench. “Thanks Matt! See you later.” I called out and headed towards his car.

I pulled up to the house Soph and Matt shared, and put the car in park. I let out a big sigh, taking in everything that had happened today and hopped out. “Soph, you home?” I knocked on the door and stood rubbing my arm waiting for an answer. I heard movement from behind the door and stood straight waiting for it to be opened. It opened slowly, and revealed my distraught looking best friend. “Holy fuck Soph what happened!” I took a giant step towards her and pulled her into a hug, her immediately bursting into tears. I closed the door and helped her towards the couch. “What the hell’s wrong Soph? What’s going on?” I sat right next to her and ran my hands up and down her arms trying to calm her down. She kept shaking and sobbing, the tears continuing to fall. “I-I c-can’t even d-do this N-Ness. I-” She broke down again and held her head in her hands. I sat closer to her and rubbed her back, getting more worried every time she spoke. “It’s okay Soph honestly, tell me what’s going on.” She took in a deep breath and exhaled slowly then looked up into my eyes.
