Band One Shots

2. Jaime Preciado

JAIME PRECIADO (PTV)

I was standing on the stage, watching over the crowd since it was really crazy here at the UK Riot Fest. But my mind was somewhere else. You see, me and my boyfriend, Jaime, haven't spoke in 3 days. Yeah and we live on the same bus. But I somehow had pissed him off to the point where we were both mad at each other.

It was my fault initially...

-Flashback-

"Jaime, what the fuck?"

"What the fuck what Jess?!" He screamed at me. I cowered back a little at his words, but held my gaze at the ground. "What you're mad at me because I didn't tell you where I was last night? Mad at me because I don't want to tell you?"

I stared at him with a disbelieving eye "Are you cheating on me?" I asked just above a whisper. He furrowed his eyebrows at me and gaped at me, crossing his arms

"are you fucking serious right now?" I stayed quiet, not wanting to hear the words I dreaded the most. "Jess, don't you fucking dare think that I would cheat on you. Is that the kind of man you think I am? Im in love with you Jess!" he yelled, his voice echoing though the small corridor of the bus. The rest of the boys were out helping our merch guy get boxes into the trailer

"Well what else am I supposed to think, Jaime?" I asked, crossing my arms tighter to my body. I hated arguing, I don't like confrontations at all. "you've been sketchy all tour, not touching me like you used to, not even saying 'how are you?' and 'I love you' for days at a time...what else am I supposed to think!"

A little look of realization came over his features and just started to shake his head side to side slowly, not breaking my eye contact.

"If you think thats the kind of guy I am, I don't think this is going to work." he said calmly and turned to walk out of the bus. I watched him leave, standing there as my blood went cold, no... Fuck.

-end flashback-

I shook my head at the memory, bringing me back to the current situations at hand. Being tour manager was tough. And it was even tougher when your relationship was falling to pieces.

I heard my phone ringing as the boys played Props & Mayhem. I walked off of the stage area and picked up the tattered iPhone by sliding it open.

"Ey! Jess. It's Kyle at the production offices."

"Whats up Ky?" I asked, looking back at the boys who were playing their heart out.

"The band after you guys just cancelled, so we're filling it with a live Q&A. Want it?"

I thought about it for a moment and shrugged to myself. "why not, sounds fantastic Kyle. Thanks."

"You alright? You sound a little down Jess."

"I'll be fine." I nodded although I knew he couldn't see that "Thanks again." and with that I hung up. Seeing the boys finish their last few chords and started putting their stuff away.

"BOYS! Live Q&A from stage." I nodded out to them

"Isn't Vanna supposed to be on?" Vic asked, downing a monster Tour Water as he came off stage.

I shook my head "Last minute cancel." The boys just nodded and got themselves situated before going out and sitting on the edge of the stage.

I sat on the drum riser as Casey pulled the drums and equipment off, sighing to myself as I flicked thought my phone. I looked up to see Jaime standing watching over the crowd, not taking part in the Q&A.

Suck it up Jess. You can talk to him. You love him for crying out loud. You've been together for 3 years.. this is ridiculous.

"Jaime." my voice squeaked, looking up at the 5'10 ball of amazingness.

He looked over his shoulder at me and all I could do was motion him over with my hand. He complied although I saw the hesitations in his steps. "what is it?" he asked as he sat next to me with an annoyed humph.

I couldn't hold back any more.

I leaned over and hugged him tightly "i'm so sorry Jaime.. I love you.." I said shutting my eyes, hoping he would hug me back. But the warmth of his arms never came. Instead he pushed away from me and shook his head, standing up.

He stared down at me for a while, I was bring myself for another heartbreak. But it didn't happen.

What did happen was him scooping my face in his hands and kissing me with such a force I made us both fall back onto the stage off the drum riser. I slid my hands into his hair, holding his head there as he forced his way to make the kiss deeper, more hungry. "i love you too Jess.." he whispered against my lips, making me smile like crazy.

"OH FINALLY." Tony looked over his shoulder and yelled, the crowd cheering and the boys as well with wolf whistles. I flushed and pushed him off of me "go do your thing lover-boy." I winked, kissing him again and watched him take a seat next to Tone.
