Picking Up The Pieces {COMPLETED} (A Vic Fuentes Fanfiction)

The Balcony Scene

The Balcony Scene.

Holly's POV

After what seemed like forever, Austin had finally found his keys and was driving us to town to do some shopping. You had to love him really, he would always play Pierce the Veil when I was with him in his car. God, I was lucky to have him in my life. I really don't think that I would have survived this long if not for him, he was constantly looking after me; he was the only one that cared, but I guess the reality is that he was the only person I needed to care. I didn't really have friends, and even though I was old enough to leave and take care of myself, I just couldn't leave Austin. I need him, and I couldn't do anything without him.

After about 20 minutes of driving, we were finally in town and looking at albums in various shops. I saw Fall Out Boy's new album Save Rock And Roll and decided I was getting that, along with Paramore's self titled album. Austin ended up buying the Fall Out Boy one for me because we had this little thing that we would do whenever we went shopping together. We then went to a shop which specialises in posters and I managed to find a Bring Me The Horizon and a Green Day one and bought them, resulting in a great day so far. All Austin had bought was a new pair of shoes and a My Chemical Romance album, which I would also probably steal off of him eventually; he really doesn't know how to spend his money, especially on band stuff. It was all you really needed anyway.

We had now walked around for a bit and it was around midday, and we had stopped so I could tie my shoelaces to my converse. "Come with me Holly" Austin ordered softly once I had stood up straight again, but he didn't sound like his normal self, he sounded... upset? "Austin, what's wrong?" He dragged me over to a quiet place where hardly anyone was before stopping me in his tracks. "When was the last time you ate something?" he asked, looking at my stomach and then my face. I went to answer, but stopped when I realised I didn't know the answer to his question myself. "I don't... know... Why does it matter?" I replied, trying to sound like it was no big deal, but I knew I wasn't fooling him, he knew me better than anyone and could always tell when I was lying to him. "Come on, we're getting some food..." "But Austin..." "Now,Holly. You need to eat! I'm not going through this again, and I don't want you to either" he sighed, grabbing hold of my slim, damaged wrist before dragging me towards a small cafe located in the centre of town.

After sitting here for a while, Austin began nervously tapping his foot in frustration as we were still waiting for our food; I couldn't see anything I wanted to eat, but then why would I? He ended up having to order for me, getting me the same as himself because I genuinely couldn't see anything I wanted due to my lack of appetite, which can be a real problem sometimes. "You'd better eat this Holly..." Austin pleaded, turning to face me as he took my hands in his. "I'm not letting you get ill again. I don't want you on any more medication because the doctors reckon they know you when they don't know a single thing."

Austin managed to get me to eat; it was only a little bit, but it was better than eating nothing, right? Not long after we looked around a little more before I was being walked back to his car and we began the journey home.

Austin's POV
(From the beginning of this part)

Holly had gone downstairs and I finally managed to push that asshole away and stop him from asking me questions that he knew he wouldn't get the answers to, I mean, surely he should have learnt by now that he wouldn't get anything from me. I picked up my Pierce the Veil album and ran downstairs; whenever I was escorting Holly places, I would make sure that this album was in the car, because I know how much she loves them. I really wish I could drive her to see them, but I couldn't get out of the plans that Ray had set me. I hated him so much for ruining my life, and then ruining hers; he treats the rest of them like they're angels but he isn't even aware of half the stuff they get up to. He wouldn't think they were so perfect if he did.

I ended up buying myself a My Chemical Romance album and Holly a Fall Out Boy one. The cashier smiled as she handed us our purchases before we turned away, being stared at by some of the more normal people. They were probably thinking to themselves how stupid we looked, but that was a normal judgement we would get, just because of the music we listen to.

We then walked over to this really nice shop which only sells posters, and there were so many good ones it was hard to choose, but I decided not to buy one; it's not like I had any space left on my walls anyway. However, Holly bought herself two posters because she had way too much space on her walls as she had quite a big room.

We bought my shoes and then went walking for a while, looking in random stores. At that moment I saw someone point at Holly and I had the right mind to question them, but then I looked at her and I couldn't stop staring. She knelt down to tie her shoelaces up and you could see her spine, even through her black top. She stood up and looked at me rather quizzically. "What is it?" she asked, giving me a concerned look, although it should have been the other way around. I dragged her over to a small section of town that was rather quiet before finally replying to her question. "When was the last time you ate something?" I asked, staring down at her stomach that was revealing her rib cage as the wind pressed her shirt to her body, and then back at her overly-pale face. I panicked when it took her a while to reply, because that clearly meant she had no clue herself.

I took her into a small, mostly empty cafe and ordered her some food because I was making sure she ate whether she liked it or not. Last time this happened, Ray took her to the doctors and they put her on medication which didn't help the situation whatsoever, it just made things worse. I wasn't going to let her fall down that path again, I would prevent it as though my life depended on it.

Vic's POV

"Good one Jaime!" I screamed, breaking into a fit of laughter at the prank he had pulled on Tony. We didn't have anything to do today because lately we were only sorting out our next tour, so we decided to go into town to try and get some food. That just reminded me of touring more; Jaime was always eating, so we were constantly having to overstock the bus when food shopping. "Hey guys, look!" Mike yelled, pointing to a shop window which had our poster in the window.
'Pierce The Veil - Collide With The Sky - Out NOW!'
"We should go and buy a copy, just for the fun of it" Mike suggested, making Jaime run around with over dramatic laughter. It was at that moment I saw her. A beautiful girl walking out of the shop wearing a Pierce the Veil shirt with long dark hair; She looked perfect! "Hello!? Were you even listening to us?" Jaime asked, waving his hand in front of my face, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Uh, no, sorry. I was daydreaming" I replied, trying not to blush at the thought of that girl who I'm surprised didn't see us, she was a fan after all. A beautiful fan at that.
