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

51. "Hennessy and Bourbon."

(Wattpad made my last chapter private... So you'll have to find it on a desk top/lap top to understand what's going on in this chapter... Sorry guys!)

*VIC*

Jordan, Tony, Mike and I were all still watching the bus through the window to see if a fight would break out or anything between them, but as soon as I saw them come back from the backroom and collapsed together, we didn't quite know what to think about this whole scene unfolding. Tony and I had sobered up quite a bit, I did just because of the gut feeling something would go terribly wrong. When we saw Laney sprint back to the back room out of sight we didn't quite know what to think... I had to hold down Jordan a few times from going over there.

About 5 minutes after they collapsed on the couch together, I saw Laney's head shoot up and spot us, looking scared, but relieved when she saw us. I saw her disappear again and then put a piece of paper get pressed against the window by one of her hands, I tried to press my face closer to the glass to read what it said, seeing Tony and Mike do the same thing.

'Tony Vic Mike. GET HERE NOW.'

I felt my heart sink a few stories and pushed past everyone who was completely oblivious to what was going on and jumping around to the 'its all about the Bass' song Aaron picked out, running towards the door and threw myself inside my own bus, "What happened?!" I yelled, probably louder than I should have. Tony and Mike coming up after me with equal worry on their faces.

"shhh!" Laney cursed, pointing to the fully bandaged arm on Jaime.

Fuck.

I sat across from Laney, while Tony went to her face and wiped her eyeliner and mascara remnants from her cheeks.

"what happened?" Tony asked, again, quieter then I had so he wouldn't awake Jaime.

She sucked in a shaky breath and began speaking in a broken hushed tone, "i came up on the bus and put the bottles in the bag, he called out your name, and so I stayed still so I wouldn't cause him to come out of where he was or anything, and then he called your name again and when I was turning the handle to leave, I heard some crashing from the bathroom. So, I panicked like the girl I am and broke open the door - which I will replace. Pro-"

"no don't worry about it.. just continue." Mike said quickly as he sat next to me, clasping his hands together leaning forward on his elbows.

She looked down and nodded "and so I found him on the ground with deep cuts up his arm to his shoulder. None really hospital worthy, so I put him on the counter, he still thought I was you," she looked at me and nodded, "so I just went with it. I tried to get him to go on the couch, but he tipped over and fell onto me," she said as calmly as she could but I still heard the catch in her voice.

"is he drunk?" I asked, reaching over to wipe away the tear that fell from her eye. She just nodded to myquestion and looked to the floor

"Hennessy and bourbon." she said, motioning with the hand that wasn't trapped under Jaime's body to the empty bottles under the table. I cursed to myself, since those were unopened and full when we had left for the party.

"anything else?" Tony asked who was still crouching in front of her. She closed her eyes, letting a few more streams come down, then nodded taking a deep breath before she spoke.

"he said 'No, Vic Please. Don't leave me like she did. Please.' when I tried to get up." I dropped my head in my hands and pulled the skin on face down, letting a shaky breath release from my own mouth.

I stood and tapped Jaime on the face, "Hey Hime, can I get up and get some water please?" I asked in his ear, he grumbled and nodded, releasing the person he thought was me from his grasp. Letting her wiggle out and fall into Tony's arms. I slid where Laney had been, letting Jaime collapse back onto me, I sighed and looked to Laney who had been picked up by Mike, crying silently into his shoulder as he carried her to the other couch, holding her close to his chest, trying to get her breathing to calm down while Tony headed back to clean up the bottles and the bathroom.

"Im so sorry you guys.. i'm so fucking sorry.." she said after a few minutes and stood up, pulling her jacket tight around her, heading briskly towards the door not giving us a chance to say anything.

"don't you dare think this is all your fault." Mike spoke up, standing up from where he was and pulled her close in his arms again. "Jaime messed himself up."

"he wouldn't be this way if I would have done something when he chased after me on that plane, Mike!" she cried, her words muffled by Mike's chest. "he admitted he was still in love with me too." she shook out, hiding in my brothers chest.

"he what?" I asked, watching her she just looked at me and then buried her head again, collapsing to the couch with Mike's arms still around her.

I looked to Mike and sighed "Take her back to Jordan.." he nodded and picked her up effortlessly in a bridal style, leaving the bus with the bag of booze as well, probably to take over to the party.

I looked down at Jaime who was passed out on me, I looked over his arm, seeing it wrapped from his shoulder to his elbow. I saw the remnants of old scars on his hand, how the hell did I never see those? What a great friend I am.. fuck.

"hey Tone, help me." I said as I pulled up the dead weighted Jaime, Tony using Jaime's bandaged arm over his shoulders, helping me carry him back to his bunk. As soon as we got Jaime in the bunk, Tony retreated to the back lounge without a word as I headed back to the front lounge. I needed to see how Laney was doing, I looked over my shoulder at the Mice bus and saw they were still partying strong, then looked over at the Bring Me bus which was on the other side of us. I grabbed my phone to text, but remebered we were in the middle of nowhere with no service... I wiped the fog from the window to get a better look at the Bring Me bus.

Jordan had her in his arms on the couch, with her curled up in his lap with her head on his shoulder. I made eye contact with Jordan who reached over and grabbed a piece of paper.

'all is good... sleeping finally.' he wrote and held it against the window. I sighed and nodded.

'i'll talk to her tomorrow.' I wrote back on a random napkin I found. He nodded and carried Laney back to what I assumed was her bunk, turning out the lights.

I sighed and nestled into my spot on the couch, turning on Caroline as Mike came back in and collapsed on the couch across from me with a bottle of water.

"Curveball?" Mike asked. I shook my head still not believing Jaime would do this to this extent.

"like you have no idea, Mike."
