Bulletproof Love

Chapter 2: One Hundred Sleepless Nights

Tony's POV

Last night was amazing. I got back from tour and saw my girlfriend, Charlotte. She's so beautiful, her longish blonde hair, crystal blue eyes, the way she giggles like a four year old, but is so unaware. She is just perfect for me. We proved our love to each other.

She's already met the band, everyone is friends with her. I only know her because of Jaime..it isn't all a good thing. Jaime and Charlotte dated before me and Charlotte. He's still madly in-love with her, he would kill me if he ever found out about us. I feel really bad for not telling him. Only Vic, and our parents know. I'm not telling Mike, he's never kept one of my secrets. Jaime is my best bro, and i'm afraid that if I tell him it will do something to the band. She doesn't want to tell him either because she doesn't want to hurt him.

*Three weeks Later at my garage The band is trying to write songs*

'Hey look here comes Charlie!' Vic shouted

'Where!?' Jaime sat up and started looking around

'Right there' Mike snapped back

All of us run over to her and give her a group hug. I hate acting like I didn't see her last night, in fact I just hate it in general that we can't be a couple around Jaime.

'hey guys' she says crammed in between the four of us.

we all sit down Charlotte, me, Vic and Jaime sat on the couch, Mike sat in the recliner.

'How was the tour?' She smiled and placed her hands on mine and Vic's knees.

'It was so fucking sick' Mike yelled

She giggled 'Hell yeah, thats what i thought you were gonna say Mike' She high-fived him. I was so jealous, Mike always had a crush on her. Damn, she looks so fine today, She's wearing a Of Mice & Men tank top, skinny jeans and grey vans. Her style isn't different from any other day. I bet it's just because I haven't seen her in so long.

I grabbed my acoustic and strummed a little while Vic hummed the chorus.

Her face lit up and smile at me. She kissed my cheek while I was still playing. I blushed and Jaime gave me a dirty look and shook his head. He stood up and threw his pencil and pad of paper down.

'I'm going to get some water' he muttered and stormed off, slamming the door behind him.

I shove my acoustic on top of Mike and chase him, I meet him in the kitchen. I place my hand on his shoulder

'What's wrong man' I breathe

'Why'd she do that' He didn't even look at me, I knew he was pissed

'I don't know, maybe to tell me good job, instead of interrupting the music?'

'Yeah… I guess that make sense, Tony, can I tell you something?'

'Sure bro anything'

'I really still like Charlotte..' He looked so sad, I feel so horrible

'I know man.. Okay now it's my turn.' I said shyly

'What do you mean?' He sounded mad

'I-uh, um i kind of um like her too' I said

he flashed me a mean but sad expression

She walked in

'Is everything okay?' She looked at us

'Yeah..' He walked past me and faced her. She had her hands to her sides.

He put his hands on her arms, looked into her beautiful eyes and kissed her, then after about 6 seconds he pulled away. She looked shocked, I was pissed. I grab his shoulder and turn him around

'What the fuck!?, I thought you were my friend' I yelled

'yeah well I though you were my friend too, but obviously not' He yelled back

Mike and Vic ran in. 'What the hell is going on?' Vic said

we ignored him

Jaime look back at Charlie

'Alright Charlotte… I'm still in love with you, more than ever before, I miss you. I can't stand not being with you anymore, i just need you.' Jaime said softly to her

She bit her lip, Damn.

'Which one of us will it be?' He ask her quietly

She looked down and shook her head

'You can't do this to me, it's not fair' She whimpered as her eyes started to water up, she was right, it wasn't fair to her.

'Please, just tell me' Jaime said

She ran threw Mike and Vic and out the door, she was gone.

Jaime snapped around to me 'you did this, I can't believe you.'

I walked out the door and chased after her.

*We get to her house and we are on her doorsteps*

She crying, i wrap my arms around her, I kiss the top of her head and rub her back. She looks up at me, her make up running, I wipe away her tears but they keep coming. I made her like this, and that feeling just makes me want to crumble up and blow way in the wind. She buried her face in my chest and shook her head.

'I-i can't do this…I don't want to hurt either of you, and I don't want to do anything to the band, it means everything thing to all of you' She said quietly

'no.., you mean everything to me, I don't want to hurt him either, im sorry for putting you through this.' I said squeezing her tight

'Tony-' She pulled away and looked at me 'I-i can't do this.. I still have feelings for Jaime...' She looked down.

My heart hit the floor, no words would come out and my eyes watered

'I just want you to be happy..., thats all, im sorry, I didn't know you still liked him.. it's been so long I just figured you were done..' I said

'I thought we were too.. then he kissed me and I felt something.. something that I don't feel when I kiss you.. I'm sorry Tony..' She said

'Yeah.. me too.' I started walking away, I felt the tear splash down on my cheeks.
