Vic's Pov:
Mike and I instantly looked at each other in shock. What do we say? Definitely not the truth. Before I could think of speaking matty started talking.
"He was extremely dehydrated and because of that and it being so hot out he was showing signs of a possible heat stroke. The paramedics said he is fine and should wear the sweatshirt for a little so his body temperature returns to normal." He said it so calmly and it was so believable.
"Oh okay, well when are you guys leaving?"
"Around 10 tonight. It's 7 now so we should start packing." Mike said
"Can I catch a ride to the airport with you guys then?"
"Sure kells."
They kept talking but I spaced out, matty must have noticed because he motioned me back to reality and helped me to the back of the bus. He helped me lay down and started to pack my belongings up so I wouldn't have to. He was such a great friend, he put his own needs aside and made sure his friends came first. He finally made his way to the front with my bags and Mike came back to pack. All I remember is him telling mehe loves me and giving me a kiss on the forehead before returning to the front of the bus.
I woke up to a strange pair of arms around my chest. It was Kellin. Why would he be here, someone may see us..
"Why good morning sleepy head!" He said with a smile plastered on his face.
"Why are you in my bed, someone may see us.." I said rubbing my eyes.
"Oh no worries Mike and matty went to my bus to say bye to Jack, Jesse, Justin, and gabe. We are all alone" he said winking at me.
He made his way on me and straddled me, I knew where this was going buy I couldn't risk his seeing my cuts..
"Kells, not right now. I need to get ready to leave and I'm not feeling the best yet. I'm sorry"
He looked st me with saddened eyes and hopped off. I knew he understood but I still felt bad.. I grabbed his cheeks and pulled him onto me. I slowly bent in to kiss him. I made sure to brush my lips against his and slowly saying I love you. He finally had enough teasing and kissed me, I licked his lower lip and he let my tongue in. I let this go on for a while and had to stop before I wanted more and couldn't stop myself. I pulled away and looked into his beautiful green/blue eyes and smiled. I loved him so damn much. We finally got out of bed and made our way outside to the car. Mike and matty had things all loaded so we got in and headed toward the airport. We had finally pulled in and unloaded, when we got to where we needed to be we all gave Kellin one last hug and he watched us walk away.
I slept most of the time on the plane since I couldn't text or call Kellin. We finally landed and made our way to the car waiting outside to take us home. When we finally got home we all went straight to the studio, we didn't have time to waste. We needed to start writing songs now so our album would be out on time. I sat there for a while clueless of what to write about. I started thinking of all of the sleepless nights I've had because of these voices in my head, because of getting my heart broken. All of those things broke me and then it hit me.
Failing lights amass one hundred sleepless nights And I might be holding on too tight
But there is a beast in my heart and he won't let you leave alive
Nightmares
No longer wait for sleep
Crawl on the ground on both your hands and knees
Just like a, lion and you're the queen of the pride
And we will feast together till the bones are dry.
Matty read the lyrics and smiled at me with an approving look. Mike patted my back and said, "Thats my big bro"
I kept writing until I was done with the song. I just needed a name for the song. I thought for a moment and then it hit me, it was simple.. One Hundred Sleepless Nights.
I was on a roll and wanted to start another song when Kellin called. I denied the call and kept thinking of lyrics for another song. "I got it!" I yelled, receiving weird looks from Mike and matty. Music, writing songs and playing and listening to music was my escape from these painful thoughts.. My fans feel the same way, my music is their retreat...
I've waited all this night to honor you and say, I know it's hard, but who are you to fall apart on me, on me
This is a wasteland, my only retreat
With heaven above you, there's hell over me
Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat
With heaven above you, there's hell over me
You said what about us, well, what about me
Hang from the gallows asleep in the rain
Cause this is a wasteland, my only retreat
Paralyze me
Don't let me jump, don't let me fall
I knew that would be the end of the song but I was blanking on the beginning.. I finally looked at the clock and it was 2:30am... Shit... Kellin is going to kill me for not answering. I sent him a quick text trying to explain myself and saw 10 missed texts from him... Shit I'm dead.. I headed to my room to relax since I wasn't tired. The next time I looked st the clock it said 10:10am... Shit Kellin must be pissed.. I decided to call him and when I did he declined it.. I'm in serious trouble now, he never declined a call from me, even when he was pissed..
