Picking Up The Pieces {COMPLETED} (A Vic Fuentes Fanfiction)

It's Driving Me Crazy

It's Driving Me Crazy.

Kellin's (short) POV

As Pierce the Veil finished their set, you could see that Holly leaving took its toll on Vic. He was still doing his best, but it was obvious this had upset him. I couldn't really say I blamed him, but at the same time I couldn't really say I blamed Holly for leaving.

Holly's POV

As Austin drove I found myself feeling more relaxed, but at the same time, I felt terrible for leaving everyone. It was for the best though, that much I was certain of. "So Holly, how've you been?" he asked; I had missed his voice. I had missed him in general. "Well, somewhat stressed but apart from that great, thanks. What about you, have you been good?" He looked a little discouraged by my answer, but didn't pry, instead answering my question. "Good, yeah. How're you and Vic doing?" The question was cautious, but I knew I could tell my brother anything. "That's the stressful part. Something's up with him and he's sort of been pushing everyone away, except Jenna from Tonight Alive. That's actually why I asked if I could stay with you until the end of tour. That, and the fact I've missed you, like, a lot" I replied, laughing slightly at the end. "Well I've missed you a lot too for what it's worth" he smiled, placing a hand on my knee in a supportive manner.

"Okay, so thankfully there are two rooms so you get your own" Austin smiled as I stepped into the apartment he was given. "Thanks Austin, for everything" I smiled, looking up to catch his gaze. "No problem Holly. You're my sister, I'll look out for you until the day I die" he smiled, pulling me into his chest. The contact felt nice, really nice. "I'm sure things will sort themselves out soon" he whispered as we stepped apart. "Thanks. I hope so too" I smiled.

For the next couple of nights, Vic tried to call me. but I just didn't have the courage to answer. I very much doubted that he was back to his normal self, and I wasn't sure I was ready to talk to him while he wasn't himself. When he had finally realized I wasn't going to answer, he had sent me a text, practically begging me to at least let him know I was okay, and I at least owed him that. He seemed glad that I was okay, and apologized for everything, and that was the last I had heard from him until a few days before tour was due to end.

It was the day before the guys returned from tour, their last show being one here, and after talking to Jaime on the phone, it was agreed that he and Vic were going to collect me before the show, drop my things off at Vic's and then I would join them. Saying I was nervous was an understatement; Jaime had assured me that Vic was better than before I left, but he didn't assure me that nothing was wrong with him. I just wanted to help Vic like he had helped me when we first met, but how was I meant to do that? "Hey Holly? Do you want me to order some food to commemorate your stay here?" Austin smiled from the doorway of the kitchen. "That would be great, thanks" I smiled back, turning my attention back to the tv, where I was watching one of my favourite films. He gave me a confused look before turning back into the kitchen. I would definitely miss staying with my brother, but I wanted to fix things with Vic. I needed him more than anything right now.

"You ready?" Austin asked, carrying the rest of my belongings through to where I was sat. "Yeah. I'm a bit nervous though" I replied, a small laugh escaping my throat. "Everything will be fine" he reassured me as he sat beside me, pulling me into his side. "Yeah... I hope so." Things were silent until the door knocked, Austin going to answer it while I prepared myself to see the man I loved and one of my closest friends. There was quiet talking in the hallway before Jaime appeared on his own with a smile, walking straight over to me to give me a hug. "Holly! I've missed you so much!" he beamed, pulling me straight into his chest. "I've missed you too Hime" I replied, instantly wrapping my arms around his waist. "How've you been?" he smiled, stepping apart yet resting his hands on my shoulders to keep me still, looking to make sure I would give an honest answer. "I've been okay. Austin has taken good care of me, obviously. What about you?" He smiled, clearly happy with my answer before he replied, telling me how boring it had been without me there, and I couldn't help but smile at that. "Vic in the car?" I asked anxiously, noticing he wasn't here. "Uh no, he and Austin are talking in the hall" he smiled half-heartedly. I nodded, not really knowing what to say or do; should we wait until Vic or Austin walk in here? Who knew, what I did know though was that the reunion was going to be awkward. Why wouldn't it be? Vic and I had barely said a word to each other before I left, and here he was, ready to drop my things off at his and take me to the show. I just hope he can make this less awkward.
