chapter 6
van
the next day i'm woken up to the bus silent, but my hangover still causes me to wrench in pain as i slowly sit up. as i sit in my bunk, i stick my head out and look both ways, to see no one around and the other bunks all look empty as well. i shrug before getting up, heading to the front of the bus where the kitchen is to get some medicine. once i've done that, i go and get dressed. i check my phone and see that we have to start soundcheck pretty quickly, so that's where i figure everyone probably is.
i make my way off of the bus, luckily there's no fans around and head inside. once i do, larry's already standing there waiting for me, looking irritated.
"what the bloody hell took you so long?!" he raises his voice a tad, causing me to grimace because my hangover still hasn't gone away.
"lower your voice, lad. i got shit faced last night, so my head is giving me a pain." i say pissed off, following him to the back room where we get ready.
"where are we now anyway?" i ask, grabbing myself a cup of coffee.
"we're in new jersey now.. van, you need to get up
and go soundcheck. we have about fifteen minutes left to." larry says pissed off, and i roll my eyes.
"fine, fine." i groan, getting up from the couch.
as i follow larry out into the music hall, i hear the other lads tuning up and i rub my temples to make the throbbing go away. as we step onto the stage, i see bondy talking to one of the guitar techs and i immediately start to get pissed.
"what the fuck is he still doing here?!" i ask quite loudly, scrunching my face up in anger as larry hands me the new guitar they bought.
"van, suck it up. he's in the band and that's it." larry says and i shaking my head, glaring at bondy.
"take this, before i break it once again." i mutter, shoving it into larry's chest before taking off and grabbing bondy by the collar of his shirt, shoving him up against the wall.
"i told you to fucking leave!" i yell in his face, hearing commotion behind me. bondy looks more than surprised, eyes wide as he stares at me.
he doesn't say anything so i swing my fist back, connecting it with his jaw. he face swings to the side, blood flying out of his nose immediately. it's then that i am forced away by steve our "bodyguard", yanking me as far away from bondy as possible.
"let me go!" i yell, and bondy is rushed off to go clean up his bloody nose.
"van you can't just go punching people. especially your band mates for fucks sake!" larry yells, and i soon notice that bob and benji left to go check on bondy i assume.
"yeah, whatever." i grumble, heading towards the exit to go smoke.

my heart races a little as my thumb hovers over van's contact, wondering if i should call him. he hasn't called or texted in a few days, which is unusual recently. it scares me to think that he's found out about me and bondy, and i really feel like i should just take care of this myself. and for the fact that i'm actually starting to feel guilty, and i'm starting to miss van, a lot.
i go and look at their schedule instead, making sure i know where they are. i feel like i should fly to the states, to hash all of this out so i can feel less guilty at the least. after booking my flight, i start packing, not bothering to let anyone know that i'm coming over there to them.
"what are you packing for?" nina asks, poking her head inside of my room, causing me to jump a little.
"oh, it's just you. i'm heading to the states, gonna go fix all of this with the guys." i say, going over to my closet to grab a few sweaters.
"to fix it with van, or to fix it with bondy? haven't been able to tell which one you want to be with." she says, raising her eyebrows and i sigh before answering.
"probably van. i mean, if i chose bondy it's gonna be too awkward. but i figured, it's gonna be awkward no matter what so what the hell." i say, stuffing the last of the stuff i needed in my suitcase. i didn't need too much and didn't need too little because i had no clue how long i was gonna be over there.
"when's your flight?" she asks, helping me bring my suitcase to the foyer.
"in a few hours." i say, taking a deep breath before thinking if this is totally a good decision.
