Suddenly Jake's eyes light up as if he has another one of his 'brilliant' ideas. "Wait we are pretty close to your house, why don't we go over there and see if she can come with us for the rest of the tour?" I smile, that's a good idea. I call my mom to see if Scar can come. "Well I don't know, she has school and friends but if she says yes she can come. I want you to ask her yourself when you get here." I smile, this has got to be a yes. "Mom could you not tell her I'm coming, I want to surprise her."
She reluctantly agrees and we tell the driver to head to my house. When we get there I run out and hug Scar first thing. When we're hugging I remember what I heard on the phone and start to cry. "Why are you crying?" Oh shit "I've just missed you so much Annabel" I lie then realize my mistake. "Jeremy Miles Ferguson, don't you dare call me by my real name!" I back up a bit, I don't want to upset her more than I have. "Hey I'm CC, it's nice to meet you. By the way why do you go by scar?"
She looks nervous for a second then smiles as she replies. "One of my friends once said my personality reminds them of the color scarlet, idk why, but we shortened it to scar and it stuck as a nickname." The guys nod smiling and I smile because they're getting along. "So scar I was wondering if you wanted to spend the rest of tour with us?" She shrugs "I'll have to think about it."
Scars P.O.V.
Once my parents leave the room I glare at Jinxx. "I would never in a million years want to go on tour with you and your idiot band members, but I think I'm pretty much being forced to." Jinxx sends me a soft smile as he whispers "I would never force you" I roll my eyes and walk to my room. I know I'm upset that he left and now he wants to be with me, but I'm still mad at him for making me suffer alone. Plus, I want him to prove he loves and wants me...not that he will.
I sit in my room for a few hours, I'm honestly upset that he didn't even try to beg me to go with him. I hear his voice and the sound of someone coming up the stairs, so I quickly run over, open the window, and sit in it. Jinxx comes in and I smirk as I say, "Take another step closer and I'll jump, I'm not afraid!" He quickly takes a step back with his hands up. After a minute I hear another set of footsteps coming up the stairs.
Suddenly, Vic Fuentes shows up in my room but Jinxx stops him. "She said if I get any closer she'll jump." He tells him and I glare as I say, "Exactly, if you get any closer, Vic is fine!" Vic walks over and picks me up and sets me on my bed. "W-what are you doing here anyway?" He looks at my brother then looks at the door and the idiot gets the hint and leaves. "Your brother came to get me, he said you love pierce the veil and wants me to talk you into going on tour with him." He says kindly.
"I-I want him to first prove that he really wants me to come, and feels bad for leaving." I say and Vic is quick to respond. "Here's proof that he feels bad, he told me that he felt so bad he was considering suicide!" That's not that bad, I do that on a daily bases! "Well I guess now he has an idea of what he put me through every day." I say and Vic's eyes widen as he asks. "Y-you've consid-dered s-s-" I cut him off by shaking my head rather quickly before saying a rather convincing lie. "No but now he knows what it's like to be hurt by his leaving!"
Vic looks disappointed and I feel bad, before even realizing it the dreaded words leave my mouth. "I'll go with him if you never give me that look again!" I quickly cover my mouth, Vic smirks and holds out his hand to shake. I put my hand out, not realizing my sleeve had come up. He grabs my arm quickly and stares at it before speaking. "What are these?" I know I shouldn't talk to strangers about this, but he's my hero.
"My way of coping" I state and he asks what I really don't want to answer. "Coping with what, exactly?" I let a tear fall before answering. "With bullying, my brother leaving me, stress from school, and my parents constantly comparing me to my brother." I say truthfully. He kisses the scars and I thank Satan it's the arm I hardly ever cut. (I do love god I just find it fun to thank Satan.) "Well on tour you won't be bullied, you'll have your brother back, no more school, and you'll be away from your parents. I won't tell anyone, but I want you to try to stop." He says gently
"I promise to try" I say crossing my fingers behind my back. He smiles and hugs me. "You want to go tell your brother you're coming?" He asks and I nod not really wanting to. "But first here's my number, if you need anything I'm here." I smile and quickly send him a text. He reads it then smiles as he says "you're welcome." We walk downstairs and I see Jinxx crying, even though I hate him I still can't stand to see my brother cry.
I run over and hug him, but he doesn't even flinch. "Don't cry" I say sadly, I can't believe I caused this. His head shoots up, he probably thought I was one of his idiot band members. He wipes off his tears and forces a smile on his face. I hug him tighter and tell him the best advice I could think of. "Quit faking a smile for me, sometimes it's better to just let it all out." He hugs back, then starts crying on my shoulder. "I'm s-so-orry I l-left you!" I start crying too as we hug.
"We can make up for all those years on tour." I say trying to cheer him up, and it works. "You'll come?" I nod and he hugs me tighter. "Can I still go to school tomorrow? I want to say goodbye to my friends." He nods and pulls something out of his pocket. "Here are some backstage passes to the show tonight, you can invite your friends. Do you think ten will be enough or should I get more?" He asks and I grab them before replying. "Thank, this will be enough."
