The Way It Is (A Pierce the Veil Fanfic) *EDITING*

Chapter 19 - You broke them

~~Vic's POV~~

I fucked up.

I fucked up so bad.

I don't even have any kind of excuse.

I know what I did.

I was drunk. God, was I drunk. Danielle just kept hitting on me. Casual touches, flirting, twirling my hair in her manicured fingers. I don't know. My mind just started to wonder what it'd be like to give it instead of take it, if you catch my drift.

Of course, I knew it was wrong. But I was intoxicated and I wasn't really thinking about it at all. I didn't think about it, that is, until the next morning.

--Flashback to the morning after the party--

I was woken up by my phone blaring 'Bulletproof Love' and groaned before grabbing it. Why would one of the guys be calling me? We literally live together. I crack my eyes open just enough to read which of them it is. Mike's name lights the screen.

I close my eyes again and answer the call.

"Morning babe." I croak out in a raspy morning voice.

"Vic? I fucked up. Oh, did I fuck up." He sounds frantic. I instantly start to worry and sit up, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

"Woah woah, what happened? What do you mean you fucked up?" I ask, trying to stay calm. I let my eyes drift around my room.

Wait...

This is not my room.

Then, everything from last night hits me like a truck.

I slept with Danielle last night.

Shit.

"Vic?! Please answer me! Please don't hate me! I was so drunk and I didn't think abo-" He rushes out before I cut him off.

"Shit Mike, I fucked up too." I breathe. I can hear the shower running in the connected bathroom and soft shrieking. Her singing voice is so bad, I nearly cringe.

"I... I didn't mean to cheat. I really didn't." He chokes out between soft sobs.

"Me either... Oh god. Mike, what are we gonna do?" My eyes start to water just thinking about the look on Tony and Jaime's faces when they find out.

"I don't know, Vic... I just left Alysha's. Meet me?" His pleading tone snaps me out of whatever weird daze I've been in and I shoot out of her bed, looking for my clothes.

"Yeah. Yeah, of course. The Starbucks by the book store in town?" I rush, trying to get dressed with a phone connected to my face.

"Yeah... I'll be there in 20." He states just as I zip up my jeans and hear the shower shut off.

Shit.

"Okay." I respond, about to hang-up.

"And Vic?" He says as Danielle enters the room with a stupid smile on her slutty face.

"Yeah, Mike?" I state as evenly as I can. Seeing her face has me seething on the inside.

"I love you." Hearing him say that calms me considerably.

"I love you too, baby brother." I sigh out before hanging up, noticing Danielle's smile has not faltered.

She notices I'm almost fully dressed and smirks, dropping her towel to the floor. Is she trying to be seductive? It's not working. That only works on drunk Vic, apparently.

"Aww baby." She steps toward me and I cringe hearing her call me that. "Leaving so soon? I thought we could have a little more... fun this morning." She giggles lightly taking another step closer. I resist the urge to gag.
