Fashionably Late. {Pierce The Veil}

Chapter Twenty-Four:Friends Again.

I yawn and stretch my tired and sore limbs. The blanket that's wrapped tightly around my body soon gets pulled off, but with great force. I open my eyes and glare at Tony who frowns at me in return.

"You aren't going to sleep all day." Tony says as he pulls the pillow out from under my head.

I groan and close my eyes again, every thing from last replaying in my head.

*Last Night:*

I ran as fast as I could, my feet were begging me to stop and give them a break but I couldn't. I needed to get away from Mark and his happy life. I kept running even though I felt light headed and exhausted from lack of oxygen. I find myself stopping in front of a familiar house, making my way to the door I have a mental agrument with myself.

Stop, he's mad at you remember?

So? Who cares he's my boyfriend!

No, he's Tony Perry. He doesn't like labels.

The door swings open and I freeze, my heart pounds and I can hear every beat in my ears. I breathe heavily and Tony just stares, his mouth open agape. I try to say something, anything, but nothing comes out. Come on Alexis, say something!

"Is it true you don't like labels?" Is the first thing that comes out and it's too late to take my question back.

"Uh...I guess I don't?" He raises an eyebrow and my face falls.

"Oh. So we aren't anything?" It comes out rather harshly but I was kind of angry.

"What? You're my girlfriend, Alexis! Sure you haven't been yourself lately but that doesn't mean I don't consider you my girlfriend anymore." He sighs and so do I.

"Good." I whisper.

So you could say Tony and I had some makeup private time together.

*End Of Flashback*

"Where are my clothes?" I ask.

"Don't know, but here." He tosses one of his shirts at me and I put it on right away.

"So what's the plans for today?" I say while yawning.

"I need to talk to you. I know you probably don't want to hear it right now but it's important. Jaxin spoke to me about everything and he said that he didn't mean to hurt you, that was never his intentions-"

"He lied to me." I remark, cutting Tony off.

"Yes, I understand that but he lied because you weren't stable enough to handle information like that. He was afraid that you would of taken your life." He says calmly.

"That would of made things easier." I mumble under my breath.

Tony sighs and looks down at his hands, he was clearly stressing out over this. I don't know exactly what Jaxin told him but I'm sure it was a lot more than what he told me. I hate seeing him like this but there's not much that I can do, well except one thing.

"I'll talk to him." I watch as Tony's face brightens up with a smile.

"Really? I'll take you there later on if you want." He says excitedly.

"Sure."

Was I really ready to talk to him after what he did to me, after he lied to me? Is it worth trying to fix something that's almost broken to pieces? This wont be easy but it can't be that hard, can it?

So after getting dressed in a pair of Tony's track pants and hoodie I throw my hair in a bun. I wash off my makeup and clean my piercings, can't forget about those. I take a deep breath, walk out of the bathroom and to the front door where Tony is waiting with his keys in his hand.

My eyes meet his, his smile falters at my glare and I can't help but frown. I can't be mad anymore, I'm still going through a hard time with the lose of Payton and now finding out that Pierce killed himself. It's too much to handle and I don't think I can really blame Jaxin for lying to me, I guess it was in his best intentions after all.

"Look I know you probably hate me and I don't blame you at all but I'm sorry I lied. I was scared, I was afraid you would end your life too. I couldn't lose you both and I know it was selfish but I'm just so fucking sorry. You're like my little sister and if I lost you too then my life would be hell. You are what brightens up my day, you are what gives me hope." He whispers.

"No Jaxin, YOU are what gives me hope and without you I'd be another hopeless dreamer looking for an easy way out. I don't blame you for lying. I wouldn't have been able to handle it." He smiles but it's full of sadness.

"Do you think you'll forgive me though?" He asks.

"Through time but I can't stay mad at you, I need my best friend." I pull him towards me and wrap my arms around his neck tightly.

He hugs me back, his arms around my waist and his head placed on the crook of my neck. I hear somebody come in the room but I don't bother to turn around to see who it is. Right now I just want to be in my best friends arms forever.

"Finally." I hear Tony say with a sigh of relief.

I smile and pull away from Jaxin to look at my boyfriend. He had a similar smile on his face as he looks at me and then Jax. It's just like old times except with a big part of me missing. Things will never be exactly the same but they're pretty damn close and that's all I can ask for.

"So, now that you two are okay again we can go see the guys?" Tony says excitedly.

I nod my head anxiously and run outside to the car. I miss Jaime, Vic and Mike. I've been so distant with everyone lately and it isn't fair because all they do is try and take care of me. I was surprised that Tony stuck around after everything I put him through but then again I would stick around if he did what I did.

All three of us get out of the car and I'm greeted with big hugs and wet kisses on the cheek. I don't even complain, I just hug back and giggle at the jokes they all make. We all walk together and into the Fuentes house where we kick back and enjoy each others company.

"So are you pregnant yet?" Jaime asks randomly.

"Um, no." I laugh and shake my head at the goofball sitting across from me.

"Engaged?" Mike asks.

"No!" Tony answers.

"Well then what took you so long to come see us?" Jaime asks sadly.

I sigh and look down at my hands, "I'm sorry about that. I was being selfish and you guys didn't deserve any of it." I say honestly.

"It's okay we still love you." Vic smiles and winks at me causing me to laugh once again.

Tony smiles and leans over, he kisses my cheek gently and squeezes my hand that's intertwined with his. It feels great to be reunited with everyone; Mike, Jaime, Vic, Jaxin, Tony. I definitely missed this.
