5 - ᴀᴘᴏʟᴏɢɪᴇs

We left the hotel and got back on the tour bus to go to where Warped was taking place in this state.

I sat between Ricky and Ryan.

-So, how was that night ? AJ said looking at me laughing.

-Awful.

-I agree, Vinny said sighing.

-Shut the fuck up you cunt, you couldn't stop snoring.

-You shut up. You literally took the whole bed just for you, I barely had room, he said grumbling.

-Excuse me ? I almost fell off the bed at some point ! I said talking louder.

-What a good joke, he said chuckling.

-You are the joke, I said shaking my head.

-Hey am I the joke ? I could've just slept with a cow and it would've been the same.

-You know what the cow says ? She says fuck you, I said giving him the dirtiest look.

-Goddamn stop fighting it's getting so fucking annoying. Honestly ! I'm so fucking tired of this, Ricky said getting up from the couch and going to the bunk part of the bus.

I sighed and Vinny rolled his eyes.

-I'm gonna try to talk to him, Jaime said getting up and joining Ricky.

-I think I have to talk to him too, I said following her.

We went to Ricky's bunk and opened the curtain. He was looking at his phone.

-Hey Rick... I'm sorry, I said pinching my lips.

-You're sorry but you're still gonna fight with him. He just wants to apologize but you keep on being a bitch. I guess that's not my business but I'm fucking done with y'all, he said looking upset.

Oh okay. He was really upset.

I mean, Ricky wasn't that kind of people to be mean to other people or to hurt other people's feelings when it was unnecessary. But right now, it was sincere and he needed to express it.

I could understand why he was feeling like that. It was true, it was annoying to fight with Vinny everytime we had a conversation.

And I really felt like I should talk to Vinny.

If I didn't do it for Vinny, I should do it for Ricky.

I had a conversation with Ricky about how he felt about Vinny and I fighting and we arrived at Warped.

I came back to the front lounge.

-Uh Vinny ? Can we... like... talk ?

He frowned.

-Uh... Yeah ?

We came outside the bus.

-You wanted us to talk seriously... And I guess I'm ready to listen to you, I said nodding.

-Ah finally, he said raising his eyebrows chuckling. So... I guess that's a bit late but I feel like I still have to do it. I wanna apologize for being a jerk to you three years ago. I mean I know I hurt you really bad and I left you at the worst time. So uh yeah that's basically it.

-Vinny that was three years ago... I don't care anymore, I said shaking my head. But I appreciate it.

He shrugged.

-And I mean we should stop fighting for everything. I know I'm the biggest asshole on a daily basis and you're the biggest bitch but yeah, he said laughing. If we're not doing this for each other, what I can understand, we should do it for Ricky and the others, he said shrugging.

-Yeah right, I said nodding. I still can't stand your stupid face but I'll make some efforts, I said laughing.

-Oh shut up, he said laughing and smirking at me. What about looking at the schedule board for set and sign time ?

-Yeah let's go, I said nodding.

We walked to the board in an awkward silence. We looked at it, looking for the band's name.

-Oh you're right after Chase Atlantic's set. I'll get to see Christian before your set starts, I said nodding.

-Who's Christian ? Your boyfriend ?

-Nah, I said chuckling.

-Oh alright.

-Are you actually jealous ? I asked frowning and teasing him.

-Why would I be jealous ? Jealous for you bitch ? he said frowning too and laughing.

-We never know, I said shrugging and laughing.

We came back into the bus.

-What took you so long ? Shane asked frowning.

-Oh we apologized to each other and checked the board, I said nodding.

-Oh interesting. Things got better between you ? AJ asked.

I looked at Vinny.

-Kind of, he said shrugging.

Honestly, I still didn't want to spend some time with him. I mean I didn't know if I really could trust him now. But on the other side his apologies looked sincere.

Maybe I should try to make things up with him.

hailey: hi cutie is everything alright ?

hailey: babe

hailey: oooo

hailey: hey answer my texts

hailey: hey fuck you. it's been four hours since I sent the first text and I'm fucking tired of you not answering my texts

I sighed and rolled my eyes.

-What's wrong beauty, Awsten asked sitting next to me.

-I've been working all day non-stop. I just look at my phone now and my girlfriend is making a scene cause I didn't answer her texts.

-Dude don't be so upset because of her. You're busy, you're having fun, you shouldn't care about her. You're here to have fun, he said nodding.

-That's not wrong, I said shrugging.

-You should tell her to fuck off tho, he said scoffing.

-Right, I said tapping on my phone.

me: just remember I'm just doing my work. so I'm busy. and warped is supposed to be fun, too. so leave me alone for a sec

-Good, he said smiling at me.
