Bite My Tongue (Oli Sykes Fan Fiction)

Another Bottle Down

After a day in Arizona and four days in California I was beyond happy to be in Colorado. It wasn't nearly as hot considering it was December but apparently the seasons don't apply in certain states. I'm an east coast girl, and I loved having cold winters. With only six days left on the tour I was getting anxious about going home. I missed my apartment and my best friend, Michael. After leaving home for so long I was certain that Philly was the place for me no matter how often I left. 

Even though I was homesick I would miss touring with these guys, so I was happy that they were staying to record in Pennsylvania and I would still get to see them everyday. I was starting to see why Phil loved his job so much, and it kind of made me want to follow in my brothers footsteps with the whole management thing.

My thoughts about tour ending were interrupted by Ben picking me up from behind and running into the venue with me princess style. I laughed as he ran and I heard yelling from behind him, so there was no telling what could possibly be happening. I've been spending a lot of time with Ben in the last few days, seeing as we were drinking buddies during our time in California. Well, I mostly watched him get drunk and embarrass himself but it's basically the same thing

Once Ben put me down I laughed and asked him, "What the hell was that for?"

"I thought it would be funny. The guys were also trying to get me to not tell you about our party tonight. But, we're having a party tonight. Now you know." He said out of breath. For someone who ran around on stage every night you would think that he would be in better shape.

"Party? And where the hell do you think this party is going to take place?" I asked, crossing my arms and leaning onto one hip. Once I did this I realized how much of a mother I had become to a lot of these guys. Not only did I constantly shadow over the boys in Bring Me the Horizon but I found myself worrying about Asking Alexandria and You Me At Six as well.

"We got a hotel room not too far from here. You're coming, it'll be fun, I promise." His smile and his adorable accent made it hard to say no to him. That and the fact that a night out sounded pretty fun, I agreed to go.

"Fine, I'll go, but we have a show to get through first so let me go get my band ready." I laughed and walked away from him so that I could get ready for the show.

I was fucked thirty minutes into the party. Three shots almost immediately, and I was already on my second beer. I knew that I should stop but I really didn't want to. I wanted to have fun and not stress for a just a night, and that was what I planned on doing.

I walked around drinking and dancing and talking to people all night. I saw that most of the guys found pretty girls to hang around. I couldn't help but notice that the only two that weren't talking to any girls were Ben and Oli. However, Oli seemed very content sitting in the corner watching Kitty try to talk to a girl. I decided from that to go over and talk to Ben who was standing by the bar on his own.

"Hey Ben" I said in a more high pitched voice than normal, something that happened often when I drank too much.

"Hello, Anne." He said, so smoothly. I wasn't sure if it was because he hadn't been drinking too much which is unlikely, or if it was because he was just very good at handling himself when drunk which is quite the possibility. "What do you say we go hang out without a bunch of drunken idiots?" he asked before I had a chance to say anything else. I thought about it for a second, knowing that he probably just wanted to hook up, but I didn't really care. Why shouldn't I have some fun for once?

"Sure, why not?"

Ben led me to one of the separate rooms in the suite that Asking Alexandria has somehow managed to get a hold of so last minute. As soon as Ben shut the door he kissed me, holding me close to him by my waist. I let my hands rest on his forearms and went with it. He didn't waste any time and neither did I. He moved me back a few steps, and got closer to me and before I knew it I was against a wall with my shirt up and almost off. I let him take it off and did the same to him and then dragged my nails down his now fully exposed back. It didn't take a whole lot for us to end up on the bed with even less clothing than before. I didn't care a whole lot about my hair or make up or anything else, I just wanted to forget about everything. So I did.

I threw my shirt back on and tied my combat boots, trying to sneakily leave the hotel room. Ben passed out not too long after we were done and I didn't want anyone to know it was me. I realized that maybe sleeping with Ben wasn't the greatest idea because if anyone found out then it would start all kinds of problems.

I crept out of the room quietly and looked up only to be face to face with Matt. I froze in a panic and said the first thing that came to mind, "Please, do not tell Oliver."

He smirked at me, arms crossed, looking highly amused, "Why do you care if Oli knows you had a one night stand?"

"I, um, I don't know. He would probably tell my brother, and I, um, don't want to hear any shit from Phil." I stuttered, just wanting to get out of the situation entirely. Matt and I both knew that I didn't want Oliver to know because of what he would have to say. I didn't want him to be mad at me and part of me didn't want to hurt him. But I also really did not need my brother knowing about this.

"You like him. Admit it." He stepped closer making me ten times more nervous than I already was. I didn't want to admit anything. I didn't even know if I liked him.

"Please, just don't tell anyone. If Phil finds out that I slept with Ben he will kill me and then I will have to kill you."

"BEN? As in Ben Bruce?" He asked,

I mentally cursed myself, realizing that Matt had no idea who was in that room and I could've gotten away without him knowing that it was Ben. Now that he knew there was a much better chance of everyone else on the tour knowing about it too, and once they knew, Phil would know and I would be screwed.

"Yes, I know, please just don't tell anyone." I pleaded before going around him and joining the party again, hoping to be able to act like nothing just happened.
