I Can't Take Anymore *A Vic Fuentes Love Story* -BEING EDITED-

Ch.8

The first hour of the bus ride couldn't be described as anything else but awkward. Noe and I ended up moving to the back of the bus, to the bunk area, from all the strangeness in the atmosphere. Just as Noe said, she and I ended up having to bunk with the guys. Noe with Tony and I, wait for it, with Vic. Surprised? I didn't think so. Noe and Tony's bunk sat straight across from Vic and I's bunk.

Noe and I were currently sitting in our assigned bunks. Noe's legs were dangling off her bunk, while I had mine crossed, with a blanket covering them. She and I were having a staring contest, the fifth staring contest in the last hour, to be exact. We were a minute and a half in to our little 'friendly competition'. Noe's eyes were practically bulging out of her head, while my face was most likely turning blue. My chest was incredibly tight, I felt as if my lungs were going to cave in at any moment.

"GAH!" shouted Noe as she bent over the edge of her bunk, trying to catch her breath.

I let out a deep breath, my body falling on to the bunk, my right arm, falling off the bunk as my chest rose up and down. My heart pounded against my chest as I tried to steady my breathing.

"I w-win" I heaved.

"So? That was....your what? 2nd win?" she heaved out.

I somehow managed to raised my hand, flipping her off. I chuckled as I heard her scoff. I let my hand dangle off the side of the bunk. I brought my left hand across my stomach, griping it on to the bunk's frame. I let out a small grunt as I pushed myself up. I turned my body, resting my back against the bunk's wall. I watched Noe curiously as she rolled back and forth in her bunk.

"AY! Que mierda! These fuckers ever gonna bring this bus to a stop?!" Shouted Noe as she sat up, pushing her pillows and blankets on to the floor bellow us.

I chuckled silently as I shook my head from side to side. "Noe chill. We'll stop eventually" I said leaning to my right, grabbing my pillow in my hand before returning to my original position, resting my pillow on my lap.

"We've been on the road for hours Pierce! I need to piss and I have no interest in pissing in a bus!" She groaned dramatically.

"Look hun, I'm sure-"

"Hey girls" said a voice cutting me off.

Noe and I glanced at each other before looking to the bunk entry way. Tony was walking towards us with Vic, Jaime and Mike in tow.

Noe and I looked back at each other. I let my eyes roll back in to my head before slamming my face against the bunk mattress.

"We wanted to let you know we're going to be stopping in a truck stop in like half an hour if you guys want to do anything" I heard Mike's voice say. You could here the awkwardness laced within it.

Noe and I shared glances before looking towards the opposite direction of the guys. I let out a sigh as the sound of the door closing filled the bunk space. I found myself releasing a sigh I didn't even realize I was holding in.

"That's it!" I heard Vic's voice shout seconds later.

Noe and I looked at each other in confusion. Our heads snapped towards the door as Vic barged in with Tony. Both clearly furious. At what, I would love to know.

"Pierce. Noelle. Want to tell us what the fuck is going on?" Snapped Vic.

I raised an eyebrow before letting out a chuckle. "Excuse me?" I questioned as I swung my legs over the edge of the bunk, arching my back forward as I pressed the palms of my hands to the bunk edge.

"What the hell is up with you two? Ever since we left the house, the two of you have been ignoring everyone on this bus and acting as if we don't exist!" shouted Tony, adding his voice on the matter.
