My Chance - The Vamps fanfiction

Chapter 34

After finally landing in America, we hopped off the plane, eager to get back to his apartment to sleep. He was letting us stay in his flat as it was only a ten minute walk away from the college. He called a taxi which arrived a couple of minutes after and we headed back down the busy American roads into the centre of California.

 I hauled my luggage out of the taxi and thanked the driver, I was so exhausted and I just wanted to sleep. Yanking my suitcases into the lift, Charlea and I followed Elyar up to the 4th floor where his apartment was located. He swung the door open and my mouth flew open. It was the most beautiful place I'd ever seen.

"Welcome to your new home for the next 6 months" Elyar grinned showing us around. "And this will be your room, sorry you don't have one each, I'm just next door if you need me and the bathroom is just across the hall! I'll leave you to sleep, unpack, whatever you want to do" He winked at me before leaving me in the guest bedroom.

I took in my surroundings and realised there was a balcony overlooking the city. I didn't expect anything to look so pretty, in the distance you could see the blue sea directly in front of my window. I smiled opening my suitcase and only pulling out my pyjamas and wash bag so I could get ready for bed. Once I had changed, I flopped onto my bed and crawled under the covers, falling into a deep sleep in record time. Charlea did exactly the same and hopped into the other bed falling asleep just before I did.

**************************************************************

I woke up to sunlight streaming through the gap in the curtains; I must have slept for hours. But at least I wasn't as tired any more. I checked Twitter and Facebook replying to some of the messages I had. A few people had tweeted me asking if I'd seen Tristan’s YouTube channel and curiosity struck me. I didn't know Tristan uploaded videos but then again, we never really spoke about their music.

Typing his name into the search bar I quickly found his old channel, there were only 4 videos which had been uploaded. I noticed 3 of them were quite old and were of him when he was a lot younger. However, the 4th had only been uploaded last night, clicking on the video, it hit me, I realised how much I was going to miss them all.

"Hey guys, Tristan here" he said into the camera. "I know a lot of you haven't ever heard me sing and honestly I don't really think I'm very good. But after a lot of encouragement from Brad, James and Con I decided to give it a shot. So yeah, here's a song I wrote a couple of years ago... Erm it's called Jack and I hope you like it."

I noticed the slight sound of pain in his voice as he spoke; no one else would have been able to pick it up unless they were as close to him as I was. He started strumming a few simple chords onto his guitar, he never liked to play in front of people, and he didn't feel as confident on guitar as he did on drums obviously.

Jack when we were younger we hung out
We were inseparable
But now jack you stole my thunder
Like my girl became my nemesis

He might be Mr. popularity but
I wouldn’t wanna change a thing about me
Uh oh oh don’t take this as jealousy,
Just cause you’re with him and not me

He drinks Daniels at the bar,
Drives his daddy’s jaguar.
Rocking clothes with wills on the tag
Girl he’s all up on your face
Wanna put him in his place
But right now I'd rather be Jack 
Saying look can’t you see
He’s a dick compared to me
You should know he ain't really all that
I still need you in my world
But he's got you as his girl
And that's why I'd rather be Jack

I can't delete his story,
Wipe your smile from my memory,
And forget you ever crushed me
By sleeping with the enemy

I think he's just another wannabe, so
I wouldn't wanna change a single thing about me
Oh Oh, you need to take this personally, cause
You're with him and not me

He drinks Daniels at the bar,
Drives his daddy’s jaguar.
Rocking clothes with wills on the tag
Girl he’s all up on your face
Wanna put him in his place
But right now I'd rather be Jack 
Saying look can’t you see
He’s a dick compared to me
You should know he ain't really all that
I still need you in my world
But he's got you as his girl
And that's why I'd rather be Jack

So when you get tired of the same old lines, same old faces, places,
There's always somewhere you can run
Pretty soon you will work it out
And I will be right here waiting,
Right here waiting 'cause

Jack, Jack is not the right guy for,
Jack, Jack is not the right guy for you
Jack, Jack is not the right guy for you [2x]

He drinks Daniels at the bar,
Drives his daddy’s jaguar.
Rocking clothes with wills on the tag
Girl he’s all up on your face
Wanna put him in his place
But right now I'd rather be Jack 
Saying look can’t you see
He’s a dick compared to me
You should know he ain't really all that
I still need you in my world
But he's got you as his girl
And that's why I'd rather be Jack

I loved his voice and I didn't know why anyone wouldn't like it. Looking through the comments I could see that many people disagreed with me. They said things like "I can see why Tristan never sings" and "I love you and everything Tris but you should really stick to drumming." It upset me that people were saying this about him, he deserved a lot better and the fans should still support him.

I listened carefully to the lyrics knowing that there must be some reason as to why he chose this song. I knew immediately something had happened, someone had upset him but I just couldn't think who it would have been.

I jumped out of bed planning on messaging him later so we could have a chat. I could hear Elyar and Charlea talking in the kitchen so I went in and joined them.

"Morning sleeping beauty" he greeted me.

"How long was I actually asleep for?" I asked curiously.

"About 16 hours" he laughed handing me a cup of coffee.

"Oh God, I wasn't expecting that" I laughed with him.

"Do you want to go to the beach later and I'll show you around?" He asked kindly.

"Yeah, that would be great thanks" I giggled taking my coffee into my room so I could get changed. I put my bikini on under my clothes so I was ready to swim if I wanted too. The scars on my hips were covered by my bikini bottoms so I didn't have to worry about anyone seeing them; Elyar was the only person who knew. I chucked on some shorts and a baggy t shirt, I gathered a few necessary items and threw them into a bag and went to join Elyar and Charlea again who had both gotten ready when I was asleep.

"Ready when you are," I called into the kitchen.

"Someone's eager to go out, you've never managed to get ready that quickly before" he laughed shoving some things into a bag.

"You know it's always been my dream to come here" I replied excitedly.

"I know, I know, come on let's go" he laughed pointing toward the door and turning the lights off as we left.
