My stomach erupts in butterflies and my cheeks go a tint of dark red. Tony Perry just admitted that he loves me. I smile widely, he smiles too and I can't help but giggle.

"I love you too." I whisper.

Without realizing, him and I are both leaning in and he closes eyes and I do too. I feel his warm breath on my face as his lips gently brush against mine. Our lips move in sync with each other and I couldn't help but smile.

"I'm sorry I left." I say sadly.

He laughs and sighs, "It hurt me but I finally got to make you mine so the wait was totally worth it."

I push him playfully and he smirks. His beautiful dark brown eyes staring into mine gives me a chill making me look away. The effect he has on me was intense but I really didn't care.

After catching up he decided it would be a good idea to go see the guys. I wasn't very fond of this but I didn't want to be a whiny bitch so I agreed. He squeezes my hand tightly as we walk up the driveway of Vic and Mike's house. Jaime's car isn't anywhere to be seen and it worries me because I really want to see him.

The door opens and there stands the spiky haired man himself with a smile plastered on his face. His eyes dart to our hands and he fist pumps the air. I let go of Tony and I run into Jaime's, now open arms.

"I missed you so much." He whispers.

I hug him tightly and he pulls away after awhile to let us in. I take off my shoes and Tony grabs my hand again before pulling me into the living room. Jaime's close behind and he clears his throat. Vic looks up at me and his eyes soon find mine and Tony's hands as well.

"You don't waste time Tone." Vic says with a chuckle before getting up and pulling me into his embrace.

I pull away from Vic and look over at Mike who's now standing in front of me. He looks down at his feet before putting his attention back onto me. My anxiety kicks in and I start to feel nervous. I could feel the tension between us and it makes me let go of Tony's hand. Tony doesn't seem to mind, he stays at my side and watches Mike.

"I'm sorry for everything." Mike whispers.

He pulls me into a big hug and the tension is now gone. I relax into his bone crushing hug and wrap my arms around his small fragile body. I sigh with relief as I find myself forgiving him just like that.

"It's okay Mikey. I still love you." I say with a smile.

We pull away from each other and he smiles as he looks at Tony. I can't help but notice that Mike looks older. His face is a little more filled in and his eyes are more full of emotion rather than full of hatred.

"I knew you guys would admit your love for each other." Mike chuckles and sits back down on the couch.

A girl soon comes out from the kitchen and walks over to me. She's a brunette and she's tall but not as tall as Mike. She's fit but curvy and absolutely gorgeous. She smiles at me and extends her hand out.

"I'm Frenchie, Mike's girlfriend." I smile widely as I take her hand and shake it.

"Alexis, Tony's girlfriend." We both laugh and pull our hand away.

She sits down beside Mike and he wraps his arm around her waist. Tony takes my hand and brings me over to the other couch to sit down with him. I'm much more relaxed and at ease now. It's quiet in here but it's not an awkward silence.

"How have you been?" Vic asks breaking the silence.

"Okay, how was tour?" I change the subject, suddenly not in the mood to talk about myself.

"Great. Tony wouldn't stop talking about you." Jaime cuts in.

I look at Tony and see him blush. He gives Jaime the finger and tightens his grip on my hand. I awe and giggle a little before looking back over at Vic. His eyes are dull and he has bags under his eyes from lack of sleep, probably also from jet lag.

"Go get some sleep, Vic." I say softly.

Vic nods and yawns. He gives me a lazy smile before standing up and heading off to his room. He waves but doesn't look back to see if I wave back. He must really be tired.

"He hasn't been sleeping well for the past few nights." Mike says quietly.

"Why?" I ask worriedly.

"Must of been home sick." He guesses.

***

Tony and I ended up staying for the night and so did Jaime. We were all a little too drunk to go anywhere.

"I think that I want just maybe another shot." I slur out through giggles

"That's enough for you." Tony demands.

I pout and try to keep my balance as I walk over to the kitchen but I fail and end up falling. Jaime falls to his knees in fits of laughter while I just curl in a ball and lay on the floor. Mike starts to laugh too but that's all cut short when a very sober Tony comes and picks me up.

"Bed time." He whispers to me.

I groan and let him carry me to the guest bedroom. He lays me on the bed and I start to take off my clothes leaving me only in my panties and bra. Tony chuckles and takes off his pants and shirt before getting under the covers with me.

"Goodnight baby." He kisses my head and pulls me into his side.

I lay my head on his chest and I listen carefully to his soft breathing and his thumping heart beat. It soothes me and I soon find myself in a deep sleep.

Tony's P.O.V:

I wake up with a warm body pressed against mine. I open my eyes slowly and let them adjust to the bright room. I stare at the beautiful sleeping girl beside me, her chest rising and falling with every breath. I kiss her head and slowly get up from the bed.

I walk into the kitchen to see Mike only in his boxers, sitting on the counter. He has a cup of coffee in his hands and he doesn't bother looking up at me.

"Hi Tone." He says quietly.

I can smell the lingering scent of alcohol seeping through his pours and it makes me back away.

"You should really shower." I mumble.

Mike groans and jumps down from the counter. He slowly walks away to the bathroom and shuts the door. I smirk a little, I was thankful I didn't drink last night because I too, would be hungover.

"Tone." I turn around to see Vic standing behind me.

I smile at him and nod my head. I pour coffee into two cups and I put milk and sugar in each before handing one to Vic. He looks terrible, his hair a mess and the bags and black shadows under his eyes still there. I frown as I watch him take a small sip from his coffee.

"You feeling okay?" I ask.

"Yeah." He says quietly.

I know he's lying and it bothers me. I sigh and sit at the dinning table. Vic sits across from me but doesn't bother to look at me. It's killing us all to see him like this.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing, can you guys back off." Vic snaps.

"Vic, there's something clearly wrong." I say calmly.

"It doesn't matter." He tries to push me away but I don't allow it.

"Vic."

"Just drop it." He growls.

I sigh and decide to give up for now. He clearly doesn't want to talk about it yet so I'll let it be for now.
