3 - ᴄᴏɴғʀᴏɴᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ

[Y/N's point of view]

-Get up old cow, Ryan said opening my bunk curtain.

-Ryaaan leave me alone, I said whining and burying my face into my pillow.

I went to bed at 3AM last night after going to Knocked Loose's bus, so I really needed to sleep.

-Alright. We're going to the Wage War set, he said.

-I don't give a shit, just let me sleep, I said whining.

He laughed and walked away.

I sighed, turned around and fell asleep again.

I opened my eyes and grabbed my phone to look at the time. It was almost eleven. I opened the curtain, rubbed my eyes and got out of my bunk.

I went in the front lounge and saw Vinny sitting on the couch, looking at his phone. I sighed.

-Hey, I said opening the fridge.

I took the orange juice and closed the fridge.

He looked at me and frowned.

-You ? Talking to me ? I must be dreaming, he said scoffing.

-Oh shut it, I said rolling my eyes. I can stop being polite to you if you want, I said raising my eyebrows.

-Nah I won't be that restrictive, he said chuckling.

-For once.

-What do you mean ? he asked frowning.

-You think I forgot it ?

-Forgot what ? I know you didn't forget it and I didn't either. It was years ago, get over it.

-Do you even know how long it took to get over you ? You can't even imagine, I said shaking my head.

-Do you think it was easy to break up with you ? he asked me frowning and talking louder.

-Looks like. You left me when I needed you the most. But I guess that's what being a douchebag is, I said shrugging.

-Oh god I'm so hurt, he said putting his hand on his heart.

I wanted to slap him.

-You're an idiot. I don't even know why I'm still talking to you.

-You started the conversation hoe, he said chuckling.

-I didn't actually. You could have just responded hi and I wouldn't have talked to you any more.

-Always wanting to be right, uh ? he said raising an eyebrow.

-Vincenzo you're getting on my nerves. You know what ? Don't talk to me. Don't even look at me. Pretend that I don't exist, since that's the thing you did the best three years ago, I said sighing.

-Ok cool. Are you finally done talking to me ? he said looking at me, looking annoyed.

-You're so annoying, I said sighing and coming back to the bunk part of the bus.

-When's your set ? I asked Justin while I was editing yesterday's photos.

-At 2:45. The signatures are at 4, he said nodding.

-Oh okay.

-What's the next band you'll take pictures for ?

-Well I think I'm gonna shoot Boston Manor in like 45 minutes, then it will be Chase Atlantic's turn. Then I'll come back here to upload them to my laptop, I said smiling at him.

-Oh alright, he said nodding.

-Y/N ! Jaime said running to me.

-Yes what, I asked looking at her.

-You have things to tell me, she said grabbing my hand.

-What ? I asked frowning.

-Follow me, she said making me get up.

She lead me to the back lounge and we sat on the couch.

-What's the deal ? I asked her frowning.

-Listen. I haven't seen you in ages. You have some things to tell me. Like, how you met your girlfriend. Talking about that, is your relationship better ? You already told me your relationship with her was toxic.

-Oh yeah not really. We keep on fighting for everything but then she says that she loves me and everything...

-Break up with her already dude, she said frowning.

-But I love her...

-Yeah I know that's not that simple, she said pinching her lips. How did you meet her ?

-Well that's kinda complicated and I always feel bad. We met in a club. My friends from uni dragged me here to forget about Vinny, I said nodding.

-Why do you feel bad ? Metting someone from a club is fine, she said shrugging.

-Yeah but that's not about that. At that time I was still in love with Vinny. But I got drunk and kissed her. That wasn't really my intention but yeah... We exchanged our numbers and texted very often. Since we kissed she... Thought there could be something between us. But I still loved Vinny and she was a friend to me. We texted everyday for months. She was basically a best friend to me. And one day we hung out together and she confessed to me. I said yes and we started dating. I didn't love her. I felt so bad... And little by little, I started having feelings for her. It was a real relief but I feel like a piece of shit everytime I think about it, I said nodding.

-Oh my god... How long did it take her to confess to you ?

-About seven months I think. Then it took me four months to love her. Imagine dating someone for four months without loving them.

-It must have been so hard for you, she said stroking my back.

-It was. I was depressed. My whole university years was a mess, mentally speaking. Fortunately I got my diploma, I said scoffing.

She laughed.

-I'm so sorry, she said shaking her head.

-That's fine Jaime. You're not the one who should be sorry. And I'm happy now so who cares, I said shrugging.

-Yeah but I haven't been there for you so much at that time. Not enough.

-That's fine.

-How did you live the break up though ? I mean if Ricky broke up with me now I don't know how I would live. If you don't wanna talk about that I can understand, she said nodding.

-I didn't expect it in all honesty. I was at my worst point and it just buried me even more. I loved him so much and he didn't want to talk to me anymore. That was horrible. I hated him for loving him... See what I mean ? Then I fully hated him. I still do, though, I said laughing.

-Oh fuck, she said laughing.

-Yeah, I said chuckling.

-Hailey... she said bitting her lip. You love her, right ?

-Yeah. She's my girlfriend. She's so amazing, I said smiling.

She smiled back at me.
