I was twelve when I heard my first Pierce the Veil song. It was Kissing In Cars and it was a perfect dog for me and my boyfriend, we both LOVED that song. Now, I'm nineteen and almost ready to graduate from high school.
I'm sitting in the basketball court on my phone checking my email and watching my boyfriend Seth practicing with his basketball team, when I started fangirling. "EEEEEEEK!!!" I squealed and trembled with excitement.
Seth jogged over and rested his chin on my knees. "What?" He asked, wiggling his eyebrows at me.
"PTV IS WHAT!!!!" I squealed.
"What you mean?"
"PTV's, Vic Fuentes emailed me and said I get to tour with PTV!!!!!!" I squeal loudly.
Shay walks up and throws her arm over my shoulders. "PTV?"
"Yup."
"Vic Fuentes?"
"YUP!!"
"Touring with PTV?!"
"YES!!!!!!" I squealed as I began fangirling again. "How did you know?"
"Me and Alex got the same email as you."
We both fangirled as Shay's boyfriend Matt jogged over too, and rested his arms on Shay's knees. Matt and Seth are both on the basketball team. Matt chuckled, "PTV?"
Seth looked at him and raised his eyebrows. "Was it obvious?"
Seth and Matt both chuckled and fist bumped. "Wait.." Seth looked at me, pain in his eyes. "That means you're all gonna be gone for the whole summer, doesn't it?"
"Yeah..." Matt said as he gave Shay a sad look.
Shay and I both looked away, shaking our heads. "Yeah... that.. that means we are."
(A few weeks later)
I'm in my room packing for our PTV tour when my phone rings. "Hello?"
"Hey! It's Alex."
"Hey Alex! Sup?"
Alex began to fangirl and I couldn't help but fangirl with her. "Excited?"
"Oh yeah!!!!" she squealed through the phone.
My home phone rang and I picked it up. "Yo. Emm, it's Shay. I tried calling your cell but it said it was busy."
"Yeah. Cuz Im talking to Alex on my cell and you on my home phone."
"Oh. Anyways, you almost packed?"
"Yeah... why?"
"Cuz we gotta be ready to leave NEXT WEEK ."
Alex's voice on my cell was muffled. "Emm!"
"What?!" I was getting annoyed with this.
"What you doing?"
"Talking to you AND Shay."
Alex groans. "Yeah, okay. I've gotta go pack." And there's a dial tone.
I put my home phone back to my ear. "Shay, I've gotta finish packing."
Shay answers but her voice is muffled and I hang up. My cell rings seconds later and I pick it up. "What?!"
"Woah... should.. should I call back?" Seth's voice on the other end calms me.
"Sorry. thought you were Alex or Shay. they've been calling me and won't let me pack."
"It's okay. Listen, babe, we need to talk."
"Ok. Talk about what?"
"You're gonna be gone the whole summer with PTV, aren't you?"
I cover the speaker of my phone and try to stifle a sob. "Emm..."
I hold the phone back to my ear and uncover the speaker. "Yes. It means I'll be gone the whole summer."
"Oh..."
" 'Oh'? what oh?"
Seth chuckles, "Nothing. I was just planning on seeing you and doing stuff together this summer."
"Well... I'll be back in August. I know that as a fact."
"Okay babe. I'll let you get back to packing. I love you."
"Love you too."
I sigh. I just ruined mine and Seth's summer plans together with my PTV tour. What am I gonna do?!
I throw my clothes into my suitcases, not bothering to fold them, due to my frustration.
(The next week)
"OMG!" Shay squealed in my ear. "Are you as excited as we are?!" she asked for both her and Alex.
I nod and look past her, trying to see if Seth had come to say good bye. I had something I wanted to give to him before I left for the summer. The squeal of a tire causes me to look behind me. A big bus, with PTV on the side, pulled around the corner an parked by the curb. I lift my eyebrows at the pictures on the side of the van. I couldn't help but fangirl. "OMG! VIC FUENTES!!!"
Alex and Shay looked at me like I was crazy. "What?" I ask defensively, shrugging.
"Nothin..."
"Mhmm... nothing my ass." I smirked at them.
"Well, I have no idea what you're talking about but you all were talking about asses." a voice spoke from behind.
I turned and looked. It was Vic Fuentes, the HOTTEST band member of PTV by far. I smiled at him and shrugged. "It's a joke. they always say nothing so I always say 'nothing my ass'"
I blushed. I had just talked to him like he was a friend. He put his hand on my shoulder. "Cool. My friends an band mates do that to me, too."
"Emm!" a shout sounded behind me.
I turn and look as Seth comes running up. "SETH!"
I run to him and throw myself into his hug. I bury my face in his neck to hide that I'm crying. I don't want Alex or Shay or Vic to see. Seth puts his hand in my head and murmurs in my ear. "I don't want you to go but I can't make you stay."
I lift my head and wipe my eyes. I laugh quietly and pull out a bracelet and a stone for him. I clip the bracelet around his wrist and had him the stone, it's engraved with 'love' on it. "Wait for me."
He nods. "I love you." He whispers through tears.
I turn and start to walk to the tour bus. I get to the door and turn back and look at him, throwing him a kiss. "I love you too." I say through tears.
The doors close and the bus begins moving. I find an empty seat in the back by a window so I make my way to the back, throwing my stuff in the seats as I sit down. I hug my knees to my chest and rest my forehead on my knees as I cry quietly. Eventually I feel a hand on my shoulder. "Emm?" Shay's voice is soft, concerned.
I pull my shoulder away, not bothering to look up as I continue to cry softly. Shay leaves me alone and I hear her tell Alex to 'give her some space' suggesting that Alex was gonna come see what's wrong. I cry my heart out, yet, not bothering anybody by crying quietly. I rest my head on the window and cry. "Emm?"
"Go away!" I scream.
I see Vic putting his hands up defensively. "oh my god.. I'm so sorry I thought you were one of my friends." I say softly.
"But I am one of your friends." Vic says, sitting beside me, putting his arm around my shoulders in a side hug.
"I meant Alex or Shay."
"Right. Everything okay?"
I nod and bite my lip. Tears begin flowing again. "You're lying Emm."
I nod and sob into my sleeve. "What's wrong Emm? you can tell me."
I wipe my eyes and put my head in my hands. "I miss my boyfriend... He had plans for the two of us to do stuff together this summer..." I trail off.
"But you're touring with us."
I nod. "That's... That's why I miss him..."
