Cherish // A Devon_Mines x Duljuice FF

Chapter Two

-=Devon’s POV=-

I awoke to Julio shoving his camera in my face. I smacked the camera out of his hand onto the carpeted floor.  All I heard was incoherent grumbling as I sunk back into the sheets, only to again be woken up by asshole Tomahawk and pillows hard enough to knock out a grown man. There was a faint knock on the door and I sprung out of bed and opened the door. Little to know I was still in my underwear.

“Oh hey Dul!” I say happily and lean against the door frame.

“Uh Devon, where are your pants?”

I glanced down only to realize that, in fact I wasn’t wearing any pants. I felt my face heat up and I placed my hands over my undies.

Dul sped past me and over to where i was sleeping, “Missing these?” She said placing my pants on her face.

I quickly grabbed them off her face and ran backwards into the bathroom to change. I could overhear laughing from the other room so I slid my pants on and joined Julio, Dul, and Thomas sitting on the bed. Did I miss a party invitation in my own room? I felt a pang of anger when I saw Dul sitting next to Thomas.

Why do I feel this way?

I jumped on the bed and pushed Thomas onto the floor, “Oops, sorry Thomas!”

I sit down next to Dul with a slight smirk. Dul moves off the bed quickly to help up Thomas, a pang of guilt hits as she looks at me. “Devon, lets go talk outside.”

I look at my feet as I stand up, feeling like a child about to get a scolding from their mother. We both get into the hallway and shut the door behind us, “What was all that about?” she asked giving me a stern look.

Next thing I knew I blurted, “I’m jealous okay! I saw you holding hands with Thomas yesterday!”

Oh god, did I really just say that? Her face softened, “Wait what?”

I could feel my face start to burn up, it wasn’t helping that she was staring right at me either. “Why would you be jealous?”

I stuttered out a response,”I mean, I’m not jealous. I just don’t think you can take care of yourself.” The look of confusion quickly fell from her face.

“What do you mean? Do you not trust me to take care of myself? Is that what it is?” Her voice increased in volume, I didn’t mean to offend her or anything! I need to think about my words more.

“No Dul, I just meant-” Next thing I knew I pressed my lips to hers and she pushed me away and ran back inside the hotel room.

I bury my face in my hands, what have I done? I didn’t ruin an amazing friendship just because my feelings got in the way, did I? I walked back inside to find Dul nuzzled in Thomas’ arms with tears running down her face. I feel a pang of guilt hit me in the chest when I see her, it hurts seeing her so sad and vulnerable. It hurts even more that I’m the one who caused it. I run out of the room and down the stairs.

As I sit on the sidewalk with my hands pressed up against my face i feel someone sit down beside me. “Hey there.” I look up to see Julio. Where the hell did he come from?

“What do you want.” I said bitterly.

Julio sat down beside me, “Thomas texted me about Dul crying, what happened?”

I rub my palms against my eyes, “I said some stupid things, did some stupid things. I don’t even know if I regret it.”

“Devon,” He placed his hand on my shoulder, “Do you have feelings for Dul?”

“Please don’t tell her! Even though it’s pretty obvious now.” I said with a bit of panic in my voice.

-=Dul’s POV=-

Thomas ran his fingers through my hair as I buried my face into his chest. Why did Devon kiss me? Today was meet-up day, the day where we meet with fans. I let out a sigh, this is all going to be on my mind all day. Thomas seems to be the only one who really cares about how I feel right now. Devon just flat out left and Tomahawk is… where is he?

I heard footsteps in the hallway and watched the door swing open as Devon and Julio walked inside. “Devon!” I practically yell and hug him.

What am I doing? Only a few minutes ago I was furious with him. Devon hugged me back and laughed.

“Do I still need to apologize or have you forgiven me by now?” He hugs me tighter as a bury my face into the crook of his neck.

“You’re still a jerk but I hate you a little less now.” I whispered in his ear.

Once he let go of me I looked back at Thomas to see him glaring at me, what’s his problem? It’s not like I love him or something! That stung. I only ever saw him as an older brother but now...I don’t even know anymore. I’ve known Devon for months, yet I never felt the way I do now. I wouldn’t want to ruin friendships just because of a crush which I’ll probably get over it two weeks.

Besides, VidCon only lasts for 4 days. I thought about how even if I were to fall in love with Devon or Thomas, we would never be able to meet face-to-face except for at conventions.
