Things Will Work Out

Bret's eyes slowly fluttered open and I smiled slightly. His sleepy eyes slowly studied my face but then I covered my face with my hands. He smirked as he kissed my hand. I smiled big and removed my hands from my face as I snuggled closely to him.

"Good morning beautiful."

"Good morning handsome." I replied hiding my face into his chest. He smiled and kissed the top of my head. I sighed realizing what he might be thinking. He may be thinking we will be getting back together....I'd love to but I can't give him what he wants...I can't have sex with him. I'm not emotionally ready.

"Can we talk later?" I asked. I looked up at his face and watched his face go from happy to questionable as my heart dropped.

"Sure. When?"

"After Warped Tour today?" He nodded and kissed the top of my head as he pulled himself out of the bunk. I suddenly felt all alone again. I sighed and dragged myself from the bunk and Bret helped me down so I didn't have to jump. I went into the bathroom and changed into a tank top and some shorts. I guess its time to let go of what people think of my whip marks....

I slowly emerged from the bathroom. Bret was the first one to see me and he kissed my cheek as encouragement as he went into the bathroom. I found my way into the living area and I saw everyone's head snap up and stare and smile at me. I felt somewhat uncomfortable but I knew it would take some time for them to adjust.

"Guys I think sexy Scar is back in business!" Shade yelled and wolf whistled. I laughed and smacked the back of his head. I sat next to Jace and he put his arm around me and hugged me tight.

"Glad to see you back to you Scar." He said as he kissed the top of my head. Suddenly his phone went off with Cassie's ringtone and he excused himself and went off of the bus to accept the call.

"So what changed?" Tristan asked looking me over. I chewed on my lip trying to gather my words on how I was going to answer his question.

"Ummm I took the advice Mrs. Rines gave me?" Then I mentally slapped myself because I worded it to sound like a fucking question.

"Alright Doc! Remind me to send her a Christmas card!" Crystal yelled getting up to take the bathroom after Bret. Bret came into the living area and sat next to me.

"Ah nah. Something happened with the two of you!" Shade said excitedly.

"We've decided that we can't ignore each other forever." Bret said covering for me. I guess he gets that I don't know what we even are now.

"Ooooo Scar be lookin smokin'." JC hollered as he emerged from the bunk area. I hid my face quickly laughing. This feels great. To be able to get back to the old days!

"Well if you all will excuse me I am going to go see BVB and maybe Asking Alexandria." I said getting up. Bret tagged along and we walked in silence to the BVB bus. I knocked on the tour bus door and Jake came to the door.

"Scar and Bret are here! CC get dressed so you don't scare the poor girl!" Jake screamed towards the bunks. I giggled remembering that CC always sleeps naked. Jake let me on the bus and Andy came through the bunk area smiling big.

"Scar! " He picked me up and swung me around and finally hugged me.

"I missed you!" He shouted.

"I missed you too Andy." I said giggling. We sat down and Juliet Simms came through the bunk area and came to sit in Andy's lap.

"Good morning Dragonfly." Andy said kissing her gently.

"Good morning white rabbit." She said as she yawned.

"Oh Scar! You never met my wonderful girlfriend Juliet!" Andy exclaimed.

"Yeah I haven't! Its nice to finally meet such a talented woman such as yourself Juliet. Loved your music since Automatic Loveletter."

"I've heard so many amazing things about you too! And Bret!" She smiled leaning over looking at Bret as she said that.

"Scar!" CC screamed.

"CC!" I jumped up and hugged him.

"I missed you girl!"

"I missed you too CC!" I smiled and took my seat.

"So I see you and Bret are back together-...?" I froze and looked down at my shoes as Andy was giving him the signal to shut the fuck up.

"We aren't back together but its ok CC. We're friends."

Friends. I thought. What a terrible word to describe us. We were more than friends...just not right now.

"You look hot Scar!" CC said quickly changing the subject.

"Haha thanks."

"So you gonna come watch our show tonight?" Jake said.

"Most likely! I wanna see if I can somehow get onto Asking Alexandria's bus tonight."

"Oh I can get you on there." Andy said.

"Great! Yay! I finally get to meet them and maybe not embarrass myself in front of Ben!" I laughed and Bret smirked as I saw he started to stare at me.

Eventually we had to leave the boys but I promised to come see them backstage at their concert. Me and Bret walked in silence until we came around to our bus.

"Scar...I can't wait until tonight. We need to talk now." I nodded and we got on the bus and made our way to the extra room in the back that the tour manager sleeps in. I sat down hesitantly and he sat next to me.

"Scar. I love you. I know you love me. I know you still care about me. If you didn't you would have never showed me your whip scars...I know I broke your trust when you came home and I had Rayna. But she left after one thing. One tiny thing that I had to do because I was forever in love with you alive or dead. If she couldn't understand that I was trying to protect her and that I didn't wanna hurt her then she wasn't for me. You however..."

"Bret...stop. All of those words are true but I can't give you want you need. "

"What do you think I need Scar? Because I'm fine with just you." I clenched my hands taking deep breaths. I didn't wanna even say the word. I feel like some little kid that says 'ew' each time their parents kiss in front of them.

"Sex, Bret. I can't give you sex," I blurted out finally.

"...Scar is that what you think I want? I don't care if we have sex ever again or not! All I need is you! Forever! Just to wake up to you makes me wanna thank a god that I don't even believe in!"

"Bret..."

"No, Scar. Listen to me. You don't know something. Before you were kidnapped I was going to propose to you. That's how ready I was to spend the rest of my life with you! I put that ring around your neck that night they brought you home! I don't need sex! I need you! I wanna help you! I wanna help you get over your insecurities. Those whip scars mean nothing because you are still so perfect to me. I wanna kiss you and be able to call you mine and mine only. Will you be mine again?"

"Bret..."
