We were walking up the driveway of mine and Vic's home and I smiled as he unlocked the door and the familiar homely smell filled my nose. I walked up the stairs and placed mine and Vic's suitcases on the bed and started to unpack them, placing dirty clothes into the wash basket so I could take them down and wash them. I pushed the now empty cases under the bed and then took the basket downstairs to the kitchen where the washing machine was. Vic was stood at the fridge door staring into it aimlessly, I opened the washing machine door and piled the clothes in "Hey shell we go out for dinner?" I looked over at him and smiled
"Sure, would be good for us" Vic nodded and shut the fridge door whilst I carried on with the washing. Vic eventually came back into the kitchen "I made a reservation at a little Italian place in town, so go get changed" I smiled at him and pecked his lips before I headed upstairs to get changed. I decided on a skater dress which had lace incorporated into it. I grabbed my heels and walked down stairs to where I saw Vic sat at the table "You look lovely" he stated as he walked over to the door to open it and head out to his car. He was being distant and I could understand that seeing as we had only just made up and got back together but there was something else... I followed him locking the front door and walking over to the passenger seat door and getting into the car. I looked across at him as we drove to the restaurant I could tell he was trying not to look at me "Vic?" he still didn't look at me "Vic? Can you pull over?" he looked at me from the corner of his eye and pulled off the highway. He pulled up and turned to me his lips curving into a small smile
"What is it?" he asked and I bit my lip
"Is everything ok?" he looked down at the steering wheel
"there's something I need to tell you.. I was going to wait until when we got back" I tilted my head at him slightly. "Well tell me now, otherwise I'm not going to be able to eat" I grabbed his hand which was still gripping the steering wheel and stroked his knuckles with my thumb, he shrugged me off "I-I slept with someone else" I looked at him
"W-what do you mean?" he looked down at the steering wheel
"I slept with someone at warped tour the night I kicked you out" I felt my heart shatter and my eyes welled up with tears "W-who was it?" I asked curious, he shook his head "Tell me Vic!" he looked back up and started the car again pulling out back onto the road. The journey was silent apart from the cries that left my lips.
We pulled up at the restaurant and I sighed pulling out my mirror and wiping my smudged make up away. I followed Vic into the restaurant and we were seated at a table Vic grabbed the menu and I just stared at him as his eyes scanned it. "Vic?" he looked up at me "Who was it?" he placed the menu down "Maybe we should go home" I shook my head at him
"No I'm hungry" I stated as I grabbed the menu myself and looked at it. The waiter eventually came over and we both ordered pasta and a bottle of wine. The wait for the food was long and antagonizing. I sat and thought. Why would one minute Vic be begging me not to go back to England and now he's being distant and acting like a complete arse. The food arrived and the first thing I did was pour a glass of wine "Should you be drinking?" Vic asked as I picked up the glass. I rolled my eyes at him and started to eat my pasta not looking at him. I was starting to wonder whether the rest of his band knew that he had cheated on me, I honestly didn't think Vic would be one to cheat. I finished my pasta and exited the restaurant following Vic I stood in front of the car "Deven come on get in the car"
"I'm not getting in the car until you tell me who you slept with, I'm not going to be made a fool out of" he looked across at me and came over "What does it matter Deven, it's done"
"Was she a fan of the band?" he looked at me
"No definitely not!" I folded my arms across my chest "Just get in the car Deven, if you get in the car I'll tell you" I rolled my eyes at him
"You promise?" he nodded and I got into the car and did my seat belt up. I looked across at him "So?"
"It-it was Jenna Mcdougal" I froze and just stared at him "But it didn't mean anything" I always knew that Jenna had a crush on Vic, it was something I'd seen in her every time she came over and spoke to Vic and she obviously took a chance when he was at his vulnerable. I didn't say a word I just looked out of the window next to me and waited for us to get back home. I got out of the car and unlocked the front door before going inside and up stairs to mine and Vic's room. He didn't follow me or even bother to check on me as I pulled out a duffel bag and filled with some of my clothes before pulling my phone out and calling Tony "Hey"
"Hi Tony, I'm coming over" I put the phone back into my bag and headed downstairs. I saw Vic with his head on the table in the kitchen and I snuck out of the house and started to walk to the apartment that Mike, Tony and Jaime lived at.
I knocked on the door and Tony answered I gave him a hug and he let me in "Why do you have your bag with you, where's Vic?" I looked up at Tony and then just burst into tears, I placed my head in my hands wanting to hide myself away. Tony pulled me towards him and hugged me tightly "Hey, Dev it's okay, what happened?"
"Vic cheated on me" I sobbed into his shirt and his arms tightened around me. I looked up to see Jaime and Mike were now in the room and were looking at me "Did you guys know?" Tony shook his head "We had no idea" Jaime announced walking towards where me and Tony were stood, we all looked to Mike who was chewing on his lip "I knew" I parted my lips at Mike and looked back at Tony who gave me a sympathetic look. "When did this happen?" Tony asked looking over at Mike
"At warped tour, we were all at a bar and it was the night Vic kicked Deven out of the bus"
"Who was the chick?" Jaime asked
"Jenna Mcdougal" Jaime shook his head and Tony was trying not to laugh
"Vic's so stupid, it's obvious that Jenna liked him" Mike sighed
"Vic told me the next day and said he only did it because he was upset about Deven, come on Deven it's not like you've never cheated" I parted my lips at Mike again at his comment yes he was right I had cheated on Vic but he still had no right to say it, me and Vic had past that and moved way on from it. Mike walked out of the room leaving just me, Jaime and Tony. "Come on you can stay in Vic's old room if you like" I nodded
"But I need to go and speak with Mike first" Tony looked at me and nodded
"I think he went to the kitchen" Tony pointed to the way and I saw Mike lent against the work top with his mobile to his ear and his hand to his head "M-Mike, can we talk?" he looked angry "Or maybe another time" I started to walk back to Vic's old room but I heard Mike call me back into the kitchen. I turned around and walked into the room "Close the door" I shut the door and walked over to Mike standing opposite him and leaning on the opposite worktop "Leaving Vic alone was a stupid idea don't you think?" I tilted my head not understanding what he meant "You listened to Tony right? You spoke about your pasts?" I shook my head
"No we haven't gotten round to that yet, I thought it was best to leave him on his own for a bit, I need time to think too you know" I stated and Mike sighed
"Look Deven he won't answer his phone and for gods sake you don't know ANYTHING about Vic" I was taken aback by Mikes tone and anger towards me... I watched Mike as he slammed his phone onto the worktop and opened the kitchen door, I followed him as he shoved his shoes on "Mike? Help me out here?" he turned to look at me before he slammed the front door shut leaving me inside. I looked across the room spotting Jaime on the sofa covering his mouth with his hand, I couldn't work out whether he was laughing or if he was also mad. He smiled at me "I think, maybe you should go get some rest?" I narrowed my eyes at him
"I think you're right" I eventually replied as I thought about how tired I actually was, It had been a long day. I walked back over to Vic's old room and peeled my clothes off before getting into bed and falling asleep.
