Love Triangle // A brikey/brackson love story

Chapter 20

*bryces pov*

Mikey has been laying down for hours. Usually he's awake being energetic so I decided it would be best to check on him.
"Mikey?" I say walking to where the beds were
"Leave me alone" he says
"I thought you said we were cool..." I guess he wasn't over yesterday.
"I'm not upset over that." He stays rolling over and facing me. His eyes were bloodshot and his cheeks were rosy red and that's how I knew he had been crying.
"What happened?" I say concerned
"I .. I can't.." he was trying his hardest not to cry.
I laid beside him m and whispered, "tell me."
"I can't perform for 3 shows." Tears fall from his face
"WHAT? WHY?"
"They think I was responsible for your hickey, and I stayed out too late today." He says and lays his head on my shoulder.
I lay there for about 30 minutes and mikey fell asleep. I gently get off the bed and find our manager and confront him
"First , mikey didn't put this here," I point to my neck. "I met a girl and we kinda hit it off."
"And secondly, someone forced mikey to drink , you can check his hand. He has an X on it. He was wasted. Not his fault." Both were lies but somehow it would be better if they were true.
"So a girl did that ?" The tour manager
"Veronica." I say thinking of a random name.
"I see .. and mikey was pressured into drinking?"
"Yes. You know mikey. He doesn't drink. It's the only explanation." Also a lie.
"Well I suppose he can continue on the tour, but one more slip up and you're both off the tour. Understood?"
"Clearly." I say and walk to where mikey is.
He takes about an hour nap. When he awakes I tell him the good news.
"Hey, you're back on tour" mikey cracked a smile.
"Seriously?" He said
"Yeah and don't worry.. it's not a dream." We both laugh and his face slowly turns to guilt.
"What is it?" I say confused
"Bryce.. I kinda met someone at the rave." He scratches the back of his head
"Lmao was she hot?" I laugh
"He-"
"Wait..."
"Look I was upset yesterday and I thought I could make you jealous by sleeping with someone" he looks at the ground
"What you made me was scared. Why'd you do that?" I say feeling betrayed
"Because... I need to move on somehow." Sigh.
"Well sleeping with strangers won't do the trick. Anyways if you were upset over it you should have came to me .. even if it was about me or not."
"Yeah... I'm sorry"

"Bryce?" It was Jackson.
"I'll be back" I say to mikey and walk to Jackson
"We need to talk."
"Okay sure." I say and we walk to the "living area" of the bus.
