Kidnapped By Pierce The Veil?!

-Chapter 16-

×Shannons POV×
"W-What?" I said, shocked. "I uh..I love you..Not in a friendly way.." Tony said studdering. My heart stopped. I've had a crush on Tony for so long..and he likes me..?? No..He's way older for me..he can do better.."I cant do better..All the girls that liked me were sluts..but you..You are so beautiful, smart and funny..Not like the others.." Shit.. he heard me?

"Tony..I uh..I love you, too.. But are you sure you do?" I said. All the other boys in the past just wanted to have sex or abuse me. They never actually loved me.

"Yes. I swear I do. Ever since your dad told us to go away and never come back, I cried every night, wishing and hoping that you would come back. I wanted to tell you I love you before but..I always thought I was a creep liking a 13 year old, even though I was about 17.." He said. I smiled. "But..how old are you now?" I asked. There was silence. "..25.." He said quietly.

"Tony..that's n~" But, before I could finish, there was a dead line. "Hello? Tony?" I said into the phone and put it down. A few minutes later, he texted me. "Where do you live?" I sighed and slowly typed my address. He then said he'd be here in a few minutes. I then thought about something. "If they are on tour..and after the shows they leave to go to another place at night...what is he doing coming over here if he's gotta get on the road?"

My bell rang and I buzzed him in. My door then knocked and I opened it, him standing there staring at his shoes. His snap back covered his face. "..Tony?" I asked. He looked up with tears down his cheek. I hugged him, my arms around his neck. He put his arms around my waist and squeezed me. "Come in.." I said leading him through the door. "Oh uh..Vic is here too.." He said quietly. I nodded and left the door open.

We sat on the couch. Speechless. Waiting for Vic. "Where is he?" I asked. Tony shrugged and then I heard a voice say, "Right here! Sorry I was on the phone with Danielle." Danielle? "Who's Danielle?" I asked. Vic smiled, "My girlfriend." He said. I nodded.

"So..why did you guys wanna come over?" I asked. Tony looked at me. "I wanted to tell you face to face that I love you.." He said looking at me. His pupils were really wide and big. Wait..didn't they say that your pupils get big..you're in love or something? Maybe I'm just being silly.

"But..I'm only 19..and your 25..how is that even possible.." I said looking down at my feet. "Age is just a number, Shannon." Vic said, smiling. "It can still work. Plus, you look like your 23 or in your 20's. Who will know?" He added. Tony smiled at Vic and looked at me. I thought about it for a minute.

Maybe he's right..age IS just a number..Yeah..Yeah, I think It'll work. "Well..if you say so." I said smiling a bit. "But..you don't have to, I'm not forcing you.." Tony said. I sat next to him and hugged him, kissing his cheek. "I know you're not forcing me. I love you.." I said. He smiled and hugged me tight. I felt safe for once. I felt warm inside, like I belonged in his arms. (this makes me wanna curl up in a ball and hurl, the things I write for stories..)

"This is so beautiful." Vic said in a girly voice, acting like he wiped a tear. "Stop it." I said, punching his shoulder playfully. "Oh..if you guys are on tour, how come you're here? Aren't you guys on the road?" I asked, kind of upset. "No, today was our last show. We're just gonna go home soon." Vic said smiling. I nodded, sad inside because Tony probably lives really far..

"What?" Tony said, lifting my chin. "Don't you live really far?" I said staring in his eyes. "No. Just a mile or 2 from your apartment, actually. Like we did a few years ago, we have our own house. Jaime, Me, Vic, and Mike live together." Tony said, smiling. "Oh." I said, sending a smile back.

Vic's phone went off again. "It's Mike..Yo waddup bro?..At Shannon's apartment...Yeah..Yeah..Okay.." He said into the phone and hung up. "Mike said to come over the house. The tour bus already dropped our things off. He has some liquor and wants to celebrate." Vic said laughing. I smiled. "Okay. Go have fun." I said walking away from Tony but he pulled me back. "No. Come with us. Please?" He said pouting. I smiled and nodded. "Okay..But I can't drink. I'm not 21 anyway, plus liquor tastes bad to me."
