Better (A VFC/OC/NLT Fan Fiction)

Chapter 12

*Vicky’s POV*

I had no idea where I was headed but I just had to get away from all of this. The pops had probably taken plenty pictures of me storming out of the house. I wiped my eyes with my sleeves and kept walking, silently sobbing to myself. I finally just got worn down and sat down on the curb, my face in my hands. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself, but that proved to be an epic fail. I got up and steadied myself, getting ready to head back to the house. I looked down at my clothes and straightened them out. Then I was knocked to the ground. From the sidewalk, I got up on my elbows and rubbed my forehead. Ow, that really hurt. I looked up at the person and found Thomas rubbing his forehead. I couldn’t help but smile. He’d come after me.

“Are you okay?” he managed to say through the pain and extended his hand.

“Yeah, yeah, I’m okay,” I said and took his hand, standing up. I wiped my eyes one last time and noticed that my tears had stopped. Just at the sight of him, I had cheered up. See what this guy did to me? It was just even more proof that he was the love of my life.

“You…you’ve never cried in front of me before,” he said, looking me in the eyes.

“Yeah, I know. I never cry in front of people. You’re the first one to see me.”

I looked down at the ground and he started quietly singing. The sweet song came from his lips in a melody that I knew so well. My favorite song, Lighthouse.

“Woah, I can feel it it's rising right through my chest. I'm carried away, I'm carried away when I'm lost and in distress. She is my lighthouse, she's got her light shinin' on me. She is my lighthouse, when it gets much too dark to see she turns it on. She turns it on, woah,” he sang the chorus and once again I started to tear up. I pushed it to the side. I didn’t want to cry again. I just wanted to be happy with him and get back together with him…again.

I leaned up and kissed him when he least expected it, but he didn’t push me away which I was happy about. In fact, he pulled me closer and continued to kiss me.

*Thomas’ POV*

God, I was right about her being a good kisser. I just got lost in the moment every time we touched or kissed. It may sound like a sappy love movie, but it was true. She was THE ONE. And I had broken her heart again. Actually, I broke her heart too many times before. And it had to stop because I hated seeing her cry, even if it WAS the first time.

I pulled away from her and said, “I take back everything I said. I’ll always be there for you. I deserved all of this. We all did. We were @$$wholes who didn’t deserve perfect girls like you. And I broke you heart and you were at that point of defeat where you just blew up and couldn’t take it anymore. I get it.”

She kissed me again. “I’m glad you get it. I regretted it the moment I did it though. More drama doesn’t solve present drama. It just tore me apart to the point where I wanted to hurt someone back to get revenge. And look where that leaves us now. Y’all might be losing your jobs and it’s all because of me…”

“Shhhh, it’s okay Vicks. Like I said before, I understand. Now let’s get back home and face those paparazzi, but this time together. They’re going to have a story after today.”

I laughed to lighten the mood and it worked. I got a smile out of her. When we made it back to the house and opened up the door, the surprise guest that was there was NOT the person I was expecting it to be. We had just walked into one of those awkward moments and awkward conversations.

*Bobby’s POV*

“What’s going on?” our manager Glenn asked as he paced back and forth in front of us.

Nobody spoke up.

“You know, I’m just going to stay here until you answer my question. WHAT. IS. GOING. ON?”

“Didn’t you see it? It’s all over the place,” Jayk said.

“No, I didn’t see it. I already took the liberation of calling Christopher [A/N: That’s One Call’s manager in the story] and told him to come over here. I expect you guys to tell us what the hell is happening. Got it?”

Just then the door opened and Vicky and Thomas stood there. Her face was tear stained, but she was smiling. Wow, Vicky had cried? Something really bad must’ve happened to cause that. Glenn and Thomas looked at one another for a second. This was awkward. Glenn was Thomas’ ex manager seeing as he left our group and now Glenn hated him for no good reason. I couldn’t see why he just couldn’t support Thomas’ career like the rest of us.

“Are we interrupting something because Vicky and I can leave…” he turned to walk out of the door.

“No, you guys stay,” he basically ordered.

“You know, you’re not my boss anymore,” Thomas sassed. “I’m getting Chase [A/N: That’s Thomas Fiss’ manager in the story] to come over because he needs to know about this also.”

“Alright, whatever floats your boat pal. Whatever you want, whatever you need.”

Great, it was one of those days when Glenn was in a bad mood and the fact that Thomas had showed up hadn’t helped at all.

About half an hour later, all three managers were there. Chris and Glenn had decided to gang up against Chase seeing as though the two of them were friends. We didn’t need a freaking manager rivalry going on while we explained this to them.

We explained everything and showed them all the videos. They really didn’t want to see all of them (and neither did we) but we had to prove our point. The paparazzi were ruining our lives.

“Okay, now that we understand the problem, we need to know who caused it. Who’s to blame here?” Chris jumped right into things.

Vicky stood up and said, “It was me. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.”

Chris and Glenn started laughing.

“You see, the funny thing is, I knew it was going to be your boy or your boy’s girlfriend to cause the problem,” Glenn said to Chase. “He always screws everything up.”

“You got that right,” Chris added. Wow, just wow…

“Just because I left your band doesn’t mean that I cause all the problems. You found someone to replace me, right?” Thomas asked. There was no answer. “Exactly. Now leave me, my manager and my girl the f*** alone before I have a reason to punch you in the face.”

“Yeah, go Thomas!” I yelled.

“Shut up Bobby,” Glenn said.

I stood up. “You know what, NO! I’ve had enough of your crap for the past years we’ve been together! We don’t need you! Actually, come to think of it, YOU’RE FIRED!” I screamed.

All the VFC boys clapped and cheered. Man, I’m proud of myself for saying that. But then the smirk that appeared on his face got me even more pissed off.

“Okay, okay, whatever you want. But just remember, you’ll be nothing without me and by the way, you better watch out because I know way more secrets about you guys than you think. Oh and before I leave, if you lose me, you lose Chris too. That means no manager for One Call either. So sad,” he fake pouted. “You better make your decision now.”

I looked over at the One Call guys who all shrugged.

“Man, what do we have to lose? He’s not that good of a manager anyways,” AG said.

“Okay then. Have a nice life and good luck with your careers. If they even survive…” Glenn suspiciously laughed.
