Crying Underwater So You Don't Hear the Sound (Vic Fuentes Fanfic)

Chapter 22

Chapter 22

(Alyssa POV)

I woke up in the dark with my head pounding.I guess that's what I get for downing a whole bottle of whiskey. I rolled over to find that I was in a bunk. Who's bus was I on?

I opened the curtain immediately regretting it as the light blinded me. I walked around the empty bunk area trying to figure out where I was. I found my answer as I examined the pictures taped to each bunk to show who's bunk is who's. I found Tonys, Mikes, Jaimes and I turned around to the bunk I was in to find Vics. Fucking fantastic.

Why did this have to happen? I could have gone the rest of my life without this. Couldn't I?

I hesitantly exited the bunk area into the front lounge to find it completely empty. I glanced over at the clock to see it was three o'clock. So they had to be off doing something busy of course. I made my way to the exit about to grab the door handle before the door swung open. Vic stood there staring at me with those eyes. The ones I fell in love with.

Being the idiot I am, I ran to the back lounge and locked the door. I paced the room, running my hands through my hair as my thoughts sped at one thousand miles per hour. This was way too much to take in. How are you supposed to face the person you once loved that shattered your heart into a million pieces for 'the better'? How come every time he's near, I feel that spark again? I can't still have feeling for him.

There was a quiet knocking on the door. They didn't even have to speak and I knew who it was. Without thinking, I opened the door and met with those eyes again. We stared at each other for a while before he stepped closer to me. He pulled me into his arms and held me as if his life depended on it. I held him back as memories flooded and soon, sobs were racking through my body. He rubbed small circles in my back, not saying a word.I let go of him and backed up to look at him.

"I'm so fucking confused Vic, I-"

He cut me off by crashing his lips onto mine. There went that spark again. This felt more like fireworks. I kissed him back roughly and soon found myself pressed up against the wall. He rubbed his hands up and down my sides, pressing his body closer to mine.

What the hell am I doing? I can't do this.

Soon I was pushing him off of me. He stared at me confused. He tried to step closer to me, but I stopped him.

"No..just stop.." I said.

"Alyssa, I-"

"Don't even say anything. Don't come around acting like everything is back to normal. You fucking abandoned me only to make me worse. You think that shitty little hospital helped? No, I sat there every night about what you did to me. You never even came back. Not even when I got out." I said through my teeth. I watched as sadness and regret covered his face.

"It's not like I wanted to do that to you. Its hard watching the love of your life fall apart and not being able to do anything about it. I regret doing that to you. I'm sorry." He said looking down at his feet.

"I could have fixed myself like all the other times." I simply said.

"Aly-"

"Just go, I need to be alone." He didn't say anything as he turned around and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

I slid down the wall and buried my head in my hands. Part of me wants to hate him and kick him out of my life completely, but the other half just wants to run into his arms and kiss him, acting as if nothing happened. I was so fucking confused and overwhelmed. I just need some air.

I stood up and walked out the door. The bus was once again empty. I stepped outside and began to walk to no where in particular. I found a secluded park beside the venue and sat in the grass. I looked out out the small pond in front of me as ducks swam with their little ducklings close behind. A cool breeze blew, giving me a relaxing feeling. I remember when I was stressed, I would always go to the park down the block and just sit. I would watch kids play and the ducks swim in the small pond. Old ladies would sit on the park benches and feed bread crumbs to birds. What happened to those days?

Soon, I felt someone sit beside me. I already knew who it was.

"Hey turtle." I said with out looking up.

"Long time no see. How are you Alyssa?" He said trying to look at me.

"Confused, stressed, hungover."

He let out a chuckle, "I understand."

Silence fell between us for a few moments.

"We missed you Alyssa." Tony said. I responded with a frustrated sigh."We never stopped thinking about you."

"Then why did you guys leave me." I said, trying to hold in the tears.

"We were a bunch of idiots that's why. It was never the same after we did that. Vic took it the hardest. We thought we completely lost him. Hell, we almost lost him. He still isn't the same."

"What do you mean, you almost lost him?" I asked confused.

He let out a long sigh, "The day after he visited you, he tried to kill himself. He claimed he couldn't live without you."

Silent tears ran down my face, "Why in the hell would he do that? He obviously didn't care."

"He did and he still does. Love makes you do crazy things." He said looking me in the eyes.

He still loved me. After all these years, he never forgot about me. That's when it clicked. I still loved him.

I quickly stood up and began to jog away.

"Where are you going?" Tony yelled.

"Love makes you do crazy things." I responded.

It was time to fix this mess. I needed him back, but I didn't want to commit into another relationship so fast. I guess it was time to start over.

Soon I found myself opening the bus door and standing in the lounge to catch my breathe. Vic looked up from his phone at me. without saying a word, I sat beside him. I stuck my hand out to him for him to shake.

"Hi, my names Alyssa."

Confusion covered his face before a smile crept up on his face with realization and then grabbing my hand to shake, "Vic."

"Nice to meet you."
