Find Me Hiding [Vic Fuentes]

Not Again

+Mike's POV+

I left Lily to sleep away her worries. I walked out the main area of the bus where the boys were chatting. 

"Is Lily okay?" Vic asked. He leaned his elbows on his knees, rubbing his hands together. He was so tense about her.

"She's okay, you kind of freaked her out a bit." I explained, sitting on the couch.

"How did I freak her out? If anyone did, it was Jaime. Telling her she's hot isn't the most pleasing thing after what she's been through."

"Hey!" Jaime said in defense, meat from his burrito hanging off his chin.

"Jaime, you've got a little something on your face." I gestured towards the area on my own face. "She didn't freak out from Jaime because it's Jaime for fuck's sake! Lily knows that Jaime was just being a jokester. You, on the other hand, ogled at her like she was a taco." Vic's head went down, obviously knowing what I was talking about. "She felt grossed out, man."

"I can't help it, she's so freaking gorgeous." Vic exclaimed, running his fingers through his hair.

"Do you like her?" Tony asked from his spot next to me.

"I, I don't know. I've missed her, and she's so, so different. She's not how I remember her. It's not a bad different. I'm just not use to it, and it's kind of attractive. When I took her to the doctor that day, she had to change into a gown-"

"Wait wait wait, you were looking at her naked already? You dog, you!" Jaime spoke.

"Fuck off, Preciado. I didn't get to finish. I was peeking, alright? I didn't see anything I wasn't suppose to. But her body was littered with scars and bruises. There was practically no bare skin." Vic continued.

"No wonder..." Tony spoke, trailing off.

"No wonder what?" I asked, nudging his arm.

"When we went shopping, she didn't buy anything that would have really showed skin. She always bought pants, not shorts. She bought one or two tees, but not many." Tony proclaimed.

"I need to go talk to her," Vic said, getting up. I grabbed his forearm.

"No, you don't. Not yet. She's tired as fuck, worried that you hate her, her father's been fucking with her emotions still, and give the girl some god damn space! She's been here for two weeks." Vic's eyes widened.

"She thinks I hate her?" Vic tumbled back down to his seat.

"She doesn't actually think it, she's just worried you don't like her because she's changed." I explained. I grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, downing it in seconds.

"Vic? You okay, man?" Tony asked.

"I have no fucking clue." 

"Go sleep, you looked tired as hell." I said. Vic nodded and walked to the bunks.

+Vic's POV+

God, Lily hates me. The girl I might love thinks I hate her. What could possibly make her think that? She can't be scared of her dad anymore. She's safe with us. She's safe with me. Instead of going to my bunk, I put my shoes on and grabbed a skateboard. 

"Vic, where are you going?" Tony asked.

"Police station. I'm finally going to report that fucker who considers himself Lily's dad." 

"Let me come with you." Tony grabbed his board and we were off.

+Lily's POV+

I sat on the couch with Jaime and Mike, watching Harry Potter. Vic and Tony came in, beads of sweat dripping on their foreheads.

"Where were you two?" I asked.

"We were at the police station, reporting your dad." Vic said. Anger and fear welled up inside of me.

"You did what?" I shouted. Vic was taken back by my response. "He's going to find me, and kill me. All because of you!" I pointed my finger at Vic and pushed past him, leaving the tour bus. 

"Lily, wait!" Vic shouted, running after me. I turned around.

"Know what, Fuentes? I'm so done with you right now. I'm suppose to be resting, taking it easy. I was told by that fucking doctor to stray away from stressful things and drama. But it's obviously not possible with you around. Just leave me alone!" I screamed, running away from Vic. Tears rolled down my cheeks, hitting the pavement. I heard the boys yelling at Vic, asking him what happened. 

"Lily! Lily!" Jaime yelled. He caught up to me. I walked fast, away from the bus. Jaime walked by my side. "Come on, babe. What happened?" Jaime asked. I stopped walking, and threw my arms around Jaime's neck. "It's okay." Jaime rubbed my back, holding me there. I didn't care who saw, I needed to let it out. It hasn't even been a month and I'm already having a breakdown.

"How about we go find something to eat? I'm sure you're hungry." I nodded, wiping the tears from my eyes. Jaime and I walked around the unfamiliar area until we came across a burger joint. We sat inside and a waitress took our orders. She gave me a look of sympathy, obviously seeing that something had gone wrong.

"Wanna tell me what happened?" Jaime asked. I gulped down a breath of air.

"Well you witnessed the beginning. But Vic ran after me and I blew up on him. I can't handle having him look at me like he did. I need space. I don't give a flying fuck if Vic is in love with me right now. I am not able to handle that kind of pressure."

"Can I tell you something?" Jaime asked. I nodded.

"We talked to Vic, and he's almost as confused as you. He's not sure if he likes you. He's not use to you like this. Vic's just a big mess right now." Jaime said, taking my hand in his. "When we get back home, which won't be long, we can figure it all out." 

"Home..?" I questioned. That word had no meaning to me anymore. Jaime realized what he said.

"You can stay with any one of us. Jessica and I would love it if you stayed with us." I furrowed my eyebrows together. Jaime noticed, "Jessica is my girlfriend. She's amazing..." Jaime started talking about her and how fun she was. I could tell Jaime really liked her. 

"That's wonderful, Jaime."

"What is?" He questioned, lettuce hanging out his mouth. I laughed, and I took it out of his mouth.

"The fact you're head-over-heals for someone, who obviously loves you back. That's a type of happiness that's really rare." Jaime blushed.

"Really? Thanks. Not many people tell us that." Jaime and I started laughing. 

"Thank you, Jaime. I needed this." Jaime nodded and smiled at me. 

"I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back." Jaime said.

"Okay." I pushed the food on my plate around, not wanting to eat anymore. Someone grabbed my arm; I looked up and it was my father.

"There you are, pretty bitch." My heart sped up and I felt sick. I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. He pulled me up and walked me outside.

+Jaime's POV+

I finished washing my hands and walked back to our table. Lily wasn't there. Panick washed over me as I ran to the doors of the restaurant. I saw a man pulling Lily down the street. I started running after them, screaming for Lily. She turned around and shook her head no. He turned the corner and I lost them. I lost Lily. Vic is going to kill me.
