Collide With the Flair of Selfish Machines

VIC'S POV

"What's up, Vic?" Jaime smiled, walking on the bus.

"Oh, just Skyping." I looked up at him.

"You're still talking to (Y/N)? I thought you broke up?" Mike said, walking on after him.

"Just leave it alone." Tony rolled his eyes. I sighed deeply.

"You can't just get up and leave after such a long relationship." I whined.

"That's true I guess." Mike shrugged, plopping himself down next to me.

"How long were they dating?" Jaime wondered, getting a drink.

"We were just over seventeen." I looked over.

"Damn, and we're like what...twenty-four now?" Jaime looked over.

"That's a long time." Tony sat at the table. "You just abandoned her on the bus before we left." He shook his head.

"Don't rub it in." I gave him an angry look.

"Poor little virgin." Mike sighed.

"You were saving yourself for her?!" Jaime nearly spit.

"We need to get you laid." Mike slapped me on the back. Tony rolled his eyes.

"No. I'm good." I laughed slightly. 

"Just let him wait until we get home. They'll get back together." Tony laughed.

"What the fuck is a home anymore." Jaime grinned. "We've been nearly everywhere!"

"Yeah, I don't want to go home!" Mike shouted, throwing a fist in the air. "What about you, brother?"

"I don't want to spend another night in this cramped, sweaty bus." I complained, staring at the television.

"You just want (Y/N)!" Jaime made kissing faces.

I closed my eyes and breathed slowly. They were getting on my nerves. If I left the band I'd be alone. What's the difference when I'm left begging for (Y/N) back. I don't need anymore friends, I just miss her so much. I miss the way she'd yell at me for my long hair. I miss how she'd look so alone before her face brightened when I walked in the room. I miss those long sleepovers of writing and recording music. I miss the way she could tie a cherry stem with her tongue. Her kisses were lukewarm and sugary. I'd die just to see her one more time. We fell in love and now we're both alone. Tears fell from my face.

"Are you okay, dude?" Mike bent forward to look at my face.

"Just peachy." I mumbled.

"Come on, cheer up! Look how good we have it! What about us?!" Mike shook me slightly, I kept staring at the screen.

"What about me?!" I turned towards him fast, hissing in his face. He was taken aback.

"You know what? Fuck you. I know it's hard, but who are you to fall apart on us?" Mike stormed out of the bus. Tony and Jaime were frightened with wide eyes.

"I can't take it anymore."
