My life has moved along quite nicely actually (SEQUEL MLFYWB)

Chapter Twenty Nine

Vic's POV

We were on the bus on our way too the first date of warped tour Deven had been sleeping a lot recently, she had started eating properly again which I was relieved about, I just wish she would talk to me and let me know what was going on with her. I walked into the bunk area and opened the curtain to check on her, she was still fast asleep. I sat and just looked at her, Tony came over "Is everything alright Vic?" I nodded not taking my eyes off of Deven 

"I'm just worried about her" Tony placed a hand on my shoulder 

"She's fine Vic, you know how we get on tour, she's just the same, tired" I nodded as the bus stopped and the engine shut off. I shook her awake and she smiled at me "We're here, did you want to go and see Ronnie?" she sat up 

"Really, how long have I been asleep?" 

"Pretty much the whole journey" I helped her up and she went into the bathroom to sort herself out. She returned 10 minutes later and I handed her shoes. 

We found Falling In Reverse's bus and knocked on the door, Ronnie answered and smiled widely at us "Deven, Vic, hey come in" we followed Ronnie into their bus and saw the other guys sat in the lounge area chatting. Ryan came over and hugged me "How are you Vic?" 

"I'm good" Ronnie was looking at Deven not saying anything, usually she would be super excited about seeing Ronnie but she was silent looking anywhere but at Ronnie. I walked over and placed a hand around her waist "She's really tired Ronnie, she's literally been asleep all day" Deven looked up at me and smiled "How are you doing?" Deven asked Ronnie. he looked at her

"I'm doing a lot better, I still miss her everyday though" Deven nodded 

"M-me too" 

After we had all caught up we decided to head out and all hang out for the day, it was super fun and Deven seemed to cheer up a lot more. 5pm rolled around pretty quick "Hey we'd better get to the stage we're on in 30 minutes" Ronnie was pretty excited to see our set, although Tony was missing... Deven looked around as we stood side stage "Erm I think I'm going to go back to the bus, I'm not feeling so good" she stated I looked down at her and she wasn't looking too good but she had been pale recently "But we're on in half an hour can you not wait till then?" she shook her head "No Vic I have to go" she turned around and I watched as she walked through the crowds. I called her name but she didn't respond. "There's something not right with Deven Vic, What's going on?" I shrugged and shook my head at Ronnie.

Tony's POV

I was in the shower when I heard the bus door slam and a scream. I turned the shower off, I'd been in here for quite a long time I didn't even realise I was going to be late for our set. I got out of the shower and quickly got changed before exiting the bathroom seeing Deven stood by the sofa crying "D-Deven is everything okay?" she smiled and wiped the tears from her face

"Fine, I'm fine Tony" 

"Deven, you're not fine! You're crying, please just tell me what's wrong, if not at least tell Vic" she turned to me "I'm not crying Tony! I'm fine, now go you're going to be late for your set" she walked over to the kitchen and went into the fridge grabbing Jaimes bottle of Jack Daniels. She stormed over to the bathroom and went in, locking the door. I followed her and knocked on the door "Come on Deven, that's not a good idea!" 

"PISS OFF TONY!" I shook my head

"Fine!" I exited the bus and practically ran to the stage where the guys were already doing are little pre show ritual "Tony where the fuck have you been?" Vic stated, he was irritated for some reason

"I was in the bus, erm Deven, er she's locked herself in the bus bathroom with Jaime's Jack" 

"MY JACK!?"  Jaime shouted in disbelief

"Wait what do you mean she has locked herself in the bathroom with alcohol?!" we all looked at Ronnie he was pale "Don't look at me like that, don't tell me she never told you!" I watched as Ronnie jogged off "I think i'd better go see what's going on" Vic stated I grabbed him 

"No, no leave Ronnie to sort it we have a show to play" I grabbed my guitar and pulled Vic to the stage. 

Ronnie's POV

I entered the bus and went straight over to the bathroom knocking on the door I wasn't expecting a reply but she did "FUCK OFF TONY! I'M SERIOUS!" 

"It's Ronnie" I replied "Now I suggest you come out of the bathroom, or I'll break this door down!" she didn't reply "Fine" I went into the kitchen to look for a knife or something I could use to pick the lock. I found a paper clip which I unravelled and placed into the lock, it came open pretty easily and there she was. Just like the last time, my stomach turned and I wanted to just run away from her but I couldn't leave her like this. Her make up was running down her face, half the Jack had already gone. I walked in and crouched down next to her using my thumbs to wipe the make up away from her cheeks. She wouldn't look at me so I grabbed her face and pulled it up, she squintted her eyes shut "Look at me Deven! Just look at me!" she eventually opened her eyes "You are fucking better than this you hear me?" I grabbed the bottle from her hand and she attempted to slap me but totally missed due to her being intoxicated. I poured the remaining alcohol down the sink and left the bottle on the side.

I picked her up from the floor and took her over to the sofa "Now, you'd better talk to me and tell me what's going on" she looked up at me 

"I-I just don't feel right"

"You've relapsed that's what you've done" she shook her head 

"No I haven't I just fancied a drink" I hugged her "I did Ronnie I promise" I didn't reply I just waited until she had calmed down but instead she just fell asleep. I lifted her up and took her over to a bunk placing her in it. I decided to wait on the bus until the other's got back.

Vic's POV 

I got to the bus on my own, the guys had decided to stay out a bit longer. When I went in I saw Ronnie with his head on the table, Deven wasn't around. I sat next to him and he sat up "She will be okay" was the first thing he said. I looked at him "Has she been drinking recently?" I shook my head

"She hasn't drank at all, the last time she drank was when we were in Vegas" Ronnie nodded "Do you know what's wrong with her?" 

"She was an alcoholic, it was a good four years ago now though" I looked down at the table "She was in rehab for a while and eventually she stopped when she almost killed herself" I listened intently as he explained everything that had happened and I started to understand why she was acting so weird recently "I think she's stressed and she doesn't know what to do, so she thinks drinking will help" I nodded understanding but, I don't know whether I could handle this. "She's asleep, just keep an eye on her, I'll try speaking to her again tomorrow" I stood up

"Did she tell you what was wrong?" Ronnie shrugged

"She told me she wasn't feeling herself but that was it" I felt angry. I saw Ronnie out and thanked him before punching the wall next to me. Why could she happily tell Ronnie everything that was wrong with her but she couldn't tell me! I thought she trusted me I thought we said no more secrets. I went over to her bunk and pulled the curtains back. "Deven, wake up we need to talk!" she stirred and then I heard the guy's walk in. "Is she ok?" I shrugged 

"I don't know she won't tell me" I stated "I think I'll sleep on the couch tonight, someone keep an eye on Deven please" they all looked at me like I was crazy 

"Why won't you stay in the bunk with her Vic?" I heard Jaime ask 

"Look I'll have one of your bunks, someone sleep in there with her!" I climbed into Tony's bunk 

"Hey man!" I ignored Tony's voice as I pulled the covers back. 

Tony's POV

I rolled my eyes and took off my jeans before climbing into bed next to Deven. I don't know whether this was a good idea, she had already had a go at me when she was sober earlier so god knows how she'd react when she woke up tomorrow morning.
