Dark Storms

Chapter Twenty

TREVORS POV

After last night, i've decided it's time i just head home. There's no point in me being here considering she's completely fine with Kellin. I'm basically just getting in the way.

Our stop today was only 15 minutes away from a train station and i could just ride that back to florida. I'm sure the bus could drop me off there on it's way to our next stop later tonight.

I waited until everyone was up and Kellin wasn't looking to grab Macayla and pull her outside.

It's time.

MACAYLAS POV

One second i was hanging out in the kitchen with the guys and the next second i was being dragged outside.

"Hey, what's up?" Trevor stared at me like he had something important to day. "Today, junior," i joked.

"I'm going back to Florida."

My heart sank and my head started to hurt. Why was he leaving? Why would he want to leave me?

Liz. Dammit, i should've known. I'm not allowed to be jealous or anything like that, i have Kellin. I can't expect him to just give up on her to stay on tour with me.

"Okay." He looked hurt. Why is he upset? Wouldn't he want me to not cause a scene about it? I don't want to be the one holding him back from being with someone he actually cares about.

He stormed back onto the bus not saying another word. I stood there in confusion, what the hell just happened?

I heard footsteps and Kellin said, "You okay?"

"Yeah, i just needed some air. Can i come with you to help set up today?"

"You aren't going to keep Trev company?"

"Do you not want me to join you?" He smiled at me and kissed my forehead.

"I'd love for you to join me."

TREVORS POV

"Okay." Okay? OKAY? I shouldn't have came on tour in the first place. I was so stupid to even THINK that she needed me.

I was too pissed to say anything. If i did say anything, i would regret it. So i just walked back onto the bus and went to my bunk, closing the curtain. I decided to sleep off my anger for a little while.

Justin woke me up and told me they were heading out to set up. I groaned, i didn't want to be alone with Macayla today. I was so done.

"Can i come with? I miss having to set up on tour," i lied.

"Uh sure yeah sounds good. We're all leaving in five." I got dressed and ready to leave when Macayla walked into the bathroom that i was already in. I really don't want to do this right now.

"Mac, we don't have to do this. In fact, i really don't want to. Just give me time."

"I am, that's why i'm going with the guys to help set up today."

"Wait what?"

"Yeah, i figured you would want some time alone so-"

"Macayla, i'm leaving to set up. I asked Justin. You don't have to go."

"Well now i have to..I told Kellin i wanted to get to spend time with him."

"And i can't back out, i told Justin i missed setting up for tour.." She crossed her arms and tilted her head.

"Then i guess you're going to have to deal with being around me." She walked out of the bathroom and i sighed.

Today ought to be interesting.

KELLINS POV

So i thought today was going to be great because Macayla chose to come set up with me instead of hangout with Trevor. Then Justin told me that Trev was joining us as well.

We were helping set up tents and i realized Trevor and Macayla haven't talked at all. They were quiet last night at dinner and now they're still ignoring each other. This kind of worried me so i pulled her aside to ask about it.

"I may be crazy, but did something happen between you and Trevor?"

"Kel, it's nothing." Something happened. Why isn't she telling me?

"It's not nothing, you can talk to me about it." She gave in, she knew i wasn't going to let it go until i knew.

"Trevor's going home."

"Oh. Why are you so upset?" She seemed caught off guard by the question.

"I don't know. I mean it's nice having him around. You're not always free to talk and stuff so it's going to be boring without him."

"Okay, i guess you have a right to be upset then." Why do i still feel like something bigger happened? She seemed to be hiding how upset she really was.

"Yeah, just don't say anything until he says something. I don't want him to know i said something to you."

"My lips are sealed," i kissed her.

* * * * * *

The concert went well but Trevor and Macayla still haven't said a word. I don't want him to leave and then have her be all upset for not even talking to him before he left.

They shouldn't be ignoring each other. That's what people do when they're fighting, not when they're sad one's going to leave.

I tried taking her out for dinner, just the two of us, but she wasn't acting normal. Of course she got dressed nice and put on a smile, but it seemed like everytime she thought i wasn't looking, the smile faded in an instant.

I took her back to the bus and when we got there, I told Trevor to talk to her. He seemed surprised that i would allow it, but i knew it was what she needed.

TREVORS POV

We had about an hour before the bus was to take off and drop me off at the train station. Kellin told me to talk to Macayla, which was weird considering he doesn't like it when i even look at her.

I asked her to walk around with me so we could talk and she agreed.

"Trev, why are you mad at me?"

"Mac, i'm not." I was, but not for reasons i could explain to her.

"We haven't talked all day. You stormed off. What the hell happened to us? Why were you the one who was so upset when i'm the one who's getting left behind?"

"Left behind? You say it like you care." I was starting to get mad again. She stopped walking and just stood there.

"I do care." I turned around and faced her.

"That's funny because you sounded pretty 'Okay.' to me," i snapped.

"i had to say that you shithead!" we were now yelling at each other.

"You don't have to say anything Macayla!"

"Of course i do! What kind of friend would i be if i made you stay here with me when the girl you like is waiting at home?" Oh no. No no no Macayla. This is my fault.

"Oh Macayla.." she started to cry, just like always and i pulled her into my arms.

"I don't want you to leave Trevor, and i feel so selfish, but i want you here. I need you here with me, i can't imagine not having you around." She does need me?

"Shh," i smoothed her hair and kissed her head, "i'm not going anywhere. i'm right here."

"You'll stay?" She looked up at me with those big, glossy green eyes full of hope and pain.

"I'll stay."
