Falling Into Place (Jaime Preciado) (*PTV* Fanfic 1)

40. "i uh.. never mind"

*LANEY*

I woke up early the next morning, checking the time 05:30.. dear lord jesus... I pulled a beanie over my amazing wavy-curly-straight poofy mess of morning hair and slid out of my bunk, making myself a cup of hot water. And yes, just straight hot water. It was soothing to me.. everyone thought I was weird. I opened up my laptop and had the grand idea of checking my twitter for the first time in almost 7 months.

I clicked my mentions, seeing Fans mentioning me in all of these posts about hurting Jaime, asking where I was, asking if I was dead, or anything else like that. As I got farther down the list I saw Jaime's tweets about trying to find me because he fucked up and some of the most heart wrenching tweets as well.

I saw that Vic had posted about me being their tour manager now, with fans going all over the place asking about the status between Jaime and I once again. I sighed at the comments and posted something of my own.

@LaneyChristoffer:Is there a right way for how this goes? You've got your friends And you've got your foes...

I mean.. technically Jaime wasnt a Foe.. but the lyrics fit.. so why not.

As soon as I was going to close down Twitter I got a notification from Austin, I clicked on the bubble and laughed under my breath since the rest of the people in this bus were asleep still. It was a picture of me and him dressed up in matching Red Panda footie Pajamas that I had bought for his last Birthday,

@Acarlile: Dinner Date with my Panda buddy today, cause you know.. we tiiiiiite. #BestWifeyEverrrr

@LaneyChristoffer: I'm only going for 'Embarrassing Stories of Alan Time'.. ;) #SorryGingerFluff

@Acarlile: Oh hush.. you know you've always wanted to see me in a tux.

@LaneyChristoffer: Whatever flatters yourself Carlile.(peace sign emoji)

@Acarlile: Wifey, you should get breakfast with me.. cause no ones up and i'm lonely.#AustyHungry

I looked down at my stomach that was angrily eating itself over and over, food sounded so good right now.

@LaneyChristoffer: Be outside in 5, Husband! #HungryLaneyProblems.

@AlanAshby: Bring me a waffle.

I laughed at Alan's intervention in the conversation and closed down my laptop before heading back to pull my black skinny jeans on and a crew neck from Love Before Glory, throwing on another jacket pulling my hair into pigtails and stuffing them back into my hood after sliding my beanie back on.

I zipped up the jacket and smiled, Throwing on some eyeliner and grabbed my wallet, phone, and tour pass before sliding out the door into the slightly snowy outside world, instantly coming in contact with someone outside of the door, almost sending me to the ground.

"Oh, shit sorry.." the person said holding onto my waist, preventing me from falling all the way to the ground, I knew that voice though. Please God just let this be a mind-trick..

I looked up and caught those brown eyes I couldn't stop thinking about. my breath caught as I realized I was affirming my assumptions. "uh, no.. its alright" I said quietly and moved around him. It was a great way to start out my morning.. bumping into the one person who killed me with his mind every time I was in eyesight of him.

I heard fast footsteps behind me "Laney wait.." he called. I turned around and looked at him "Yeah?" I asked, wondering where the heck Austin was.

As soon as I thought of him, there he was next to me, throwing an arm around my shoulders pulling me close. He knew I was really uncomfortable, knowing everything that had happened between me and the man who stood in front of us. .

"i uh.. never mind." Jaime said and turned around, walking away with his hands in his pockets.

Austin looked down at me, his aviators gracing his scruffy face perfectly, "What happened?" he asked, looking back to Jaime who disappeared around PTV's bus. I shrugged "nothing, nothing at all.." I said. I was confused as to why Jaime didn't yell or something at me. I was expecting the worst but it didn't happen, probably because Austin showed up. but maybe it will happen later on? I shook my head and felt my tummy rumble with french toast-anticipations

"Breakfast time?" I smiled up at him trying to get the vision of those brown eyes out of my head, he let out a soft chuckle and nodded. "i'm feelin' French Toast."

"as you wish Wifey." He smiled and I snuggled closer to his side because of the wind chill as we headed to the nearest breakfast place

*JAIME*

'Jaime you should just give up, she hates you, she doesn't want anything to do with you. Why do you even still care? She left you. She flew right out of your life. Why would she want you back now you fuck up?' Kyla's face floated around my mind with her whiney voice, "NO FUCK YOU." I yelled. Feeling like my hands were tied behind my back. It was her fault we were in this mess in the first place. I broke out of the binding and looked up to see Laney standing in front of me in a white dress, coming up just above her knees, a bouquet in her hands looking at me smiling brightly "Come on , were going to be late!" she called, beckoning me to come closer, I raced towards her, but was cut off by another guy coming and taking her hand, disappearing into the darkness in front of me together. No no.. not again.

I sat up quickly, a little too quickly because I I smacked my head on the table above me.. for some reason I fell asleep underneath the table last night. Pretty sure we played spoons and shot-pong last night, but I honestly couldn't remember due to the alcohol that had worn off too quickly. I looked at my phone seeing the time, 6 am.. fantastic.

I pulled on my sweatshirt and headed outside, going for a morning run to clear my head from that dream last night. I put my head down and started wind sprints to warm up outside of the bus, then continued on. Keeping my head down due to the wind pushing against the direction I was going, crashing into someone exiting a bus.

"Oh shit sorry.." I said, holding the person in my arms from falling to the ground. The girl looked up and caught their gaze, those beautiful eyes, "uh, no.. its alright" she said quietly, taking herself out of my grasp and continued walking towards the other buses in the parking lot. Every urge in my body was saying to keep going the way I was, but my feet said differently as I started chasing after her "Laney wait.." I said, reaching her as she turned around to face me, her arms crossed on her chest. "Yeah?" she said watching my face. Then I saw Austin come up behind her and pull her into his side, giving me a 'don't upset her or i'm going to have your head on a platter' kind of look.

"i uh.. never mind." I nodded, looking from Austin to Laney a few times then walked away back to where I was doing my sprints.

Austin and Laney were together? How did I not see this sooner? Maybe thats who I saw in my dream leaving with her? no.. couldn't be.. she wasn't one to go for guys like that.... but then again.. a lot can change over a year.
