One Hundred Sleepless Nights-A Pierce The Veil Fanfiction

~~Chapter 10~~

***Silver's Pov***

I pull away slowly and blush. Mike smiles. "Stop doing that youre adorable." "Doing what?" I ask looking down. "Blushing" He replies. Mike scoots of the bed and stands up. "Where are you going?" I ask. I know I sounded pouty but I didnt want him to just leave after we kissed like that. My cheeks burn slightly at the memory. "You mean where are we going." He corrects. I stand up confused. "We're going somewhere?" He laughs and grabs keys of his dresser. "Thats right, come on princess."

We take the back stairway, so Im not able to see if Skylar was awake or not. But... we were in Mike's house. I mean, nothing bad could happen to her here. As we step outside the warm florida sun makes me feel better and I follow Mike to his car. He opens the door for me then jogs to the other side and gets in. Mike pulls out the driveway smoothly. I notice how careful a driver he is, obeying all stop signs and speed limits, slowing down whenever the light turns yellow. I giggle a little and he turns to look at me.

"Whats so funny?" "You, silly. I just dont picture a careful perfect driver when I think extremely hot skateboarding punkie." Mike laughs and so do I. "Where are we going anyways?" My attention turns back to the seemingless endless stretch of highway in front of us. Mike smiles secretly without looking at me. "Wont be long now." He exits left and pretty soon we're at a small little shop. "Florida Tunes" are painted in red letters on the building. The letters however, were faded and chipped. "Need new drumsticks or something?" I ask him as we get out. "Oh I dont need anything." I noticed how he emphasized the I and raise my eyebrow. He just chuckles lightly and we go inside.

The air smells like lemons and we're greeted by chimes on the door. Despite the slightly messy outerior, the inside of the place was really nice. The whole room was one large square. In the very back acoustic and electric guitars were hanging neatly on walls. A sound booth was set up nearby for costumers who wanted to test out their instrument first. On the wall to the left, several drumsets sat lined up. My eye particularly lingered on an electric pink one. Mike noticed this and casually strolled over to it. "Mike what're you doing? You already have a drumset." I rush over to where hes standing just as he waves over who must've been the store owner or an employee.

The guy had had long wavy ish sandy brown hair that kind of reminded me of Vic's. He had a short stuble beard, blue eyes, and was wearing a long white T-shirt over beach shorts. He looked about 17. I figured him to be the surfer type. "Yo Marcus, this is Silver, Silver this is Marcus, a friend of mine." Marcus reached out and shook my hand with a surprising force. "Ah very nice to meet you Silver, seems like Mikey here has really outdone his self." His voice had a smooth country tang to it. "Its very nice to meet you as well Marcus."

Mike cleared his throat. "Marcus here has been a close friend of mine since grade school. He moved to Florida about a year ago, didnt think I'd run into him again, but when we finally moved down here, well, here he is, my little Marcus all grown up." Mike pretended to sniff and wipe tears out of his eyes, which earned him a playful punch from Marcus. We all laughed. "Well now then, what can I do for a old friend?" "Id like that drumset" Said Mike pointing to the electric pink one I was eyeing earlier. My eyes nearly popped out of my head. "Mike?" I called out. But Mike just grinned and asked Marcus for a price. Marcus leaned in and whispered. "That right there is about a thousand dollars, but since youre here treating your lady.." He paused and looked at me which caused me to blush. Seeming satisfied with that, he continued. "I'll let ya take 'er home for eight hundred." "I'll take it." Said Mike. I squealed with delight and threw my arms around that boy's neck. He laughed and hugged me around my waist.

"Why dont I dismantle her for ya and get you two some boxes to put her in. All youll have to do at home is set it right back up." With that he winked and headed to the back to retrieve some boxes. When he was gone I kissed Mike right away. "Why are you so amazing?" He laughed. "Youre the amazing one princess, now why dont you go up front and pick up some drum sticks? I'll join you after I help Marcus get your new drumset into some boxes. I smile and my heart flutters when he calls me princess. "Okay dont take too long." After I plant a kiss on his cheek I go to the front where I saw drumsticks earlier.

I bump into a girl about my age. "Im so sorry I stammer. She doesnt reply. Instead she stares at me for a long time. Under the hood of her hoodie I could see a tangled mess of chestnut brown hair. Their were dark circles under her eyes like she hadnt slept for days. Her nails were bitten down and I saw that her jeans were a bit dirty. "You..." She said finally. "You, better stay away from him! It took me weeks to finally catch up with him...so I can make him mine again. And no emo whore is getting in the way of that! She screamed in my face. What was this girl's problem? "What are you talking about? I asked backing away. She seemed to relax and smiled sweetly. "That guy over there," She pointed in Mike's direction. "Is mine. He loves me and his son by me! In fact we are supposed to be getting married once he turns 18. He loves me! I dont know what type of one night stand thing you two have going on but it ends now! Now you hear me?!

I shook my head, this couldnt be true. This girl was lying I knew she was. But I was shaking. Just then Mike stepped from behind some vinyl records. "Silver is everything alright? I heard some yelling and-" He stopped mid sentence and stared at the girl next to me. Recongition flashed in his eyes. Something else was in his expression though. I couldnt figure out what it was. "Monica?' He finally called out. Thats when it all snapped into place. He did know her. This mustve...what that girl had said, it was all...true. I take one last look at Mike and shake my head, tears spill from behind my eyes and I push through the front door, running and crying. I wasnt sure where I was going but I sure as hell needed to get away from Mike. He lied to me. He was using me. I was a.. a one night stand. The words flashed through my head. Was our relationship no more than some summer fling? I cry harder as these thoughts run through my head. "SILVER!" I hear Mike yell but I keep running. I wasnt about to have my heart broken. More than it already was anyways. No not this time. In fact I was done with guys. As far as I knew. Completely done. And there was only one way for me to be completely sure of that.I had had enough of this. First I lose Snake, now I find out that Mike was never even really mine. I started to head for the beach. The ocean.

***Vic's Pov***

Sky's cuddling against me and I have my chin resting on her head. Her long blue hair is partially covering her face. I push it back and kiss her forehead. "Vic?" "Mmm?" She snuggles against me some more. "Do you like me less now? Now that you know everything about me?" I hug her tight against me. "No Sky, now, I think like you even more. And like I said at the beach, I want to be your reason for recovery." She looks up at me and smiles that amazing smile of hers. Im debating wether or not if I should kiss her when my phone vibrates. I take it out and check the screen.

Its Mike. Why would he be calling me if hes downstairs? I slide from underneath Skylar, shes already fallen asleep. "Hello?" I say answering the phone. "Dude its Silver! Shes gone!" Mike sounds hysterical. I can tell he's been crying. "What the hell do you mean shes gone Mike? How do you lose a pers-" He cuts me off. "It was fucking Monica man! Turns out she followed us to Florida and managed to spot me and Silvs at the music shop. Well she mustve told Silver some shit the moment I turn my back because when I come back all Silver can do is shake her head. I called out to Monica to be sure it was really her and Silvs just took of running and crying! I tried to stop her but shes gone! Ive been circling the area for almost an hour now...please...Vic...tell me that Silver is over there. Now he really starts crying.

I step out the room incase Skylar was listening. "Listen man calm down. Did you check the beach? "Mike stops crying a little. "No I..I didnt think about that.." I sigh. "Mike go to the beach right now. If she was that upset theirs probably only one thing she has in mind. Now I hope Im wrong but I suggest you speed over to the beach and I suggest you do it now. Mike hangs up without asking another question. He understood. But for his sake, and Skylar's sake....I hope Im wrong. God,I hope Im wrong.
