Fashionably Late. {Pierce The Veil}

Chapter Twenty:Two Birds, One Stone.

Alexis' P.O.V:

To say the amount of screaming coming from downstairs is brutal is an understatement. I can hear Vic yelling as well as things being thrown around.

"Lay off!"

"Why are you acting like this?"

I sigh and pull on my clothes that were scattered around the room before heading downstairs. As I get downstairs I hear a loud bang that makes me jump a little.

"STOP!" I hear someone scream.

As I walk into the kitchen I see something come flying my way making me duck. The jar smashes off the wall behind me and shatters. I look up slowly to see Vic seething with anger and Tony staring at me with a shocked expression.

"You're bleeding." Tony whispers as he walks over to me.

He grabs my arm and stares down at my body that is still crouched down in a little ball. I soon feel a warm liquid run down my arm.

"It's okay Alexis." Tony soothes.

He pulls me up so I'm standing and pulls me towards the sink. Vic looks at me then the glass on the floor.

"Oh god, I'm sorry." He mutters.

I take my eyes away from Vic to look at the cut on my arm. Tony turns on the water and slowly puts my arm under it. The coldness of the water sends chills throughout my body but it's soon replaced by a stinging sensation. I wince at how much the contact of the water on my cut hurts and it causes Tony to turm off the water.

"Sorry." He mumbles as he places a paper towel on my gash.

"What's going on-"

"MIKE WATCH THE GLASS." I scream.

Mike stops and backs away as he notices the shattered mess in front of him. He looks at all of us but doesn't say a word, he disappears but soon returns with a broom and dust pan and starts cleaning up. I watch as he looks up at Vic and shakes his head before throwing the glass into the garbage. Does he know what's wrong with Vic?

"What's wrong with you?" I ask Vic.

He shrugs and looks away, his body tenses as I step towards him and it makes me stop in my tracks. He looks at me with his dark brown eyes, but there's nothing but hurt written on his face. I want to help him, I want him to tell me whats going on so I can give him advice.

"You can trust me, Vic." I say softly.

His eyes search my face for any kind of hint that would show him I'm lying but that's the thing, I'm not. I sigh as he looks over at Tony and then down at my now bandaged arm.

"Cara might be pregnant.." He pauses and takes a deep breath, slowly exhaling as he looks down at his slightly shaking hands, "with my kid."

Tony's eyes widen and I'm stuck in place. I don't know whether I should bombard him with questions or let it be for now?

"Is that why she came to see you during tour?" Tony asks.

Vic nods and closes his eyes, why does he look so hurt though? My mind goes over every possible reason but nothing seems to make sense to me.

"I was finally getting over her, I was finally getting use to not having her around but if she is actually pregnant, with my kid than I'm stuck with her."

I go to open my mouth to say something comforting and supportive but my mouth just closes and forms a straight line. Vic looks back down and shuffles his feet from side to side.

"I'm sorry." He whispers before walking out of the kitchen, leaving Tony and I speechless.

I look at Tony and he shrugs, he runs his hand through his hair and lets out a sigh. I watch Tony as he starts to pace back and forth in front of me. I go to reach out to touch his arm but I stop myself, I know better than that. He stops and looks at me for a breif second before turning his back to me.

"I'm going to go talk to him." With that he leaves me standing in the kitchen alone.

I awkwardly stand there and stare at my feet as I try and wrap my head around this whole situation. I'm still a little shaken from the whole freak out incident but I understand that he didn't mean to hurt anyone. 

As I go to walk away something stops me. I can hear my name being mentioned from one of the guys in the living room and it immediately draws my attention. I try to ignore it though, I don't want to be nosy but my curiosity just gets the best of me and I soon find myself walking out of the kitchen.

"Alexis probably doesn't even care, so why bother bringing it up?"

"Well because maybe she does want to know!" Jaime protests against Mike's assumption.

"Know what?" Mike and Jaime both turn to look at me, shocked looks on their face.

Jaime looks at Mike before turning back to stare at me, "Capture The Crown is in town for the next month or so to record some music." Jaime says quietly.

The walls that I finally cemented and kept up for long enough are now crumbling down brick by brick. I try to hide the panic and worry from the guys but I know they can see right through my shitty act.

"Oh," I pause to think of something to say, "Mike's right. I don't care because they're from my past and it's all forgotten."

I lie straight to their face and it makes me feel like complete shit but I can't let them see how much it actually bothers me. They don't know what Jye did to me and I don't want them to find out but I'm afraid that if I see him at all they might end up finding out. I sigh in frustration before putting on a fake smile, one I know all too well.

"Ok, I'm sorry to bring it up." Jaime smiles sadly before turning and walking away from Mike and I.

"Are you sure it doesn't bother you?" Mike asks.

I shrug before saying, "It does a little, only because Jye and I had a little thing before and I'm scared Tony will get upset if he sees him."

My lie sounds pathetic and doesn't make much sense, considering that Tony and the guys are friends with the whole CTC band. But that is exactly why I can't let the guys find out what happened between Jye and I because I know it'll only make problems, which means instant band rivalry.

"He wont?" Mike looks at me confused and I can only nod and gulp down the bile that starts to rise in my throat.

I know how Vic feels because I finally got over the whole Jye situation and I finally moved on but now I'm afraid that it'll just bring back bad memories and forgotten feelings making me forget about the boundaries I've set for myself. Those boundaries are slowly crumbling down with the wall inside my head as I think about this all, I know I'm over thinking it all but there's just so many things that can end up going wrong here and it scares the fuck out of me.

[A/N: I am soo sorry for the wait and I am so sorry for the shitty chapter. Happy New Years to everyone and I hope you all had a great christmas :)]
