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

Chapter 32 - Fucking weird

~~Mike's POV~~

I fix my hair and get redressed into a Hogwarts muscle tank and black skinnies. We finished our set about an hour ago and now, it's probably around 5? I don't know, I'm not a fucking clock.

Point is, we are done playing for the next like day and a half. Which is awesome because we get a day off in Cali, meaning we can do some fun shit in our stomping ground. As for tonight, I don't think we're going to 'party' per se. The guys and I decided to make sure that Sydney and JayCee get the chance to meet all their favorite band members. That is, if they haven't met them already with their backstage passes.

Tone told us that Jace is joining us for the rest of tour which is sick as frick. So, I guess tonight will end up being more for Sydney and the other two... Fuck. I don't remember their names.

In my defense, I haven't met them yet. Tony says they're cool though and I can't not trust my turtle.

"Jace just texted and said they're on their way here. You almost done primping, your highness?" Vic yells, directing the last comment at me.

"Whatever, bitch. It takes time to look as hot as I do." I state cockily as I walk into the front lounge, where my guys are.

"We know. You look like a troll otherwise." Jaime states with a smirk, Vic and Tony nodding in agreement.

"Hey, umm... Oh yeah, fuck you guys." I sass, pointing to the three.

They all laugh. Fucking assholes.

"So, what exactly is the plan here?" Tony asked, launching himself off his seated position on the counter.

"Hm. Don't really have one." Vic shrugs. Typical.

"Yeah, Tone. We're winging it." Jaime says in a 'duhhhh' tone. Tony just chuckles.

"Okay, so, Jace just texted saying her and Sydney are outside-" Vic starts.

"Then why didn't they just knock?" Hime questions in the same tone he just used.

"I was getting to that." He continues. "She said that 'to avoid possible death, we should go out one at a time'. Except Tony, 'cause she's already met him." He laughs.

"Okay. A little dramatic but okay. So, who wants to go first?" I inquire.

"Me! Dibs!" Jaime yells as he jumps up. He grabs a laughing Tony's hand and starts toward the door.

"Tone, text me when the next comes out, okay?" I request as I take a seat by my brother. I get a nod from the turtle and they are out the door.

"She sounds weird." I state plainly. Vic smacks my arm. Hard. "Ow!"

"Don't you dare say anything like that to her." He demands and I roll my eyes.

"Yeah, like I would tell a fan I think they're weird. I'm not an idiot, Vic." I defend.

"Could've fooled me." He smirks, nudging me playfully.

"She does sound weird, though." He adds.

"See! You always make me seem like an asshole but you're just as bad."

"Never said I wasn't, brother mine." He smirks. Dick.

*DING*

"That's Tone." I state, pulling my phone out. "Go ahead. I'll wait."

"Whatever you say, nerd." He pecks my cheek and heads out the door.

After a few moments-

*DING*
