Falling Into Place (Jaime Preciado) (*PTV* Fanfic 1)

68. "Wh-o who is this?"

*LANEY*

"You're What!?!" I yelled, standing up and throwing my hands down on the table "No freaking way!! This is amazing!" I squealed, falling back onto my chair making in slide back and spin around a few times as my happy dance continued.

"Yep. All the executives came to a conclusion and want you to move to San Diego and head out out brand new Costa Mesa branch as the head Tour Manager and Business associate" Charlie said again, making me squeal with happiness again,

Of course I would miss England, because it meant I was away from my Bring Me boys and Hannah of course, but at this point Jaime was the only one I wanted to be with.. it was killing me that I didn't have a phone on me to call him and I couldn't use the office phone because of the crazy over-seas prices... Which is stupid since it's mainly based in the US... I dunno man.

Charlie laughed and stood up, sticking my post-tour reports in his brief case. "you're welcome Laney. We couldn't think of a better person for the Job." he nodded. "Oh and there is a meeting on Thursday to discuss the change with the current board of executives from San Diego. So after that you are free to move."

I squealed, "this is awesome!" I clapped to myself, obviously very excited about the fact I would be moving back to San Diego and living with Jaime... And keeping this rad-ass job... "but I have one question... can I still be Bring Me's first choice manager when they go on tour again?" I asked curiously, not wanting to completely separate from my beloved boys.

he chuckled and nodded a yes, he held out his hand and I took it, shaking it professionally.

"YES! thank you so much Charlie!!" I yelled and hugged him, heading out of the office buildings.

First stop- the damn phone store.

--

I held the new phone in my hand, thankfully the store restored all of my contacts and photos I had on my old one thanks to the glorious and mysteriously confusing Cloud.

I grinned as I saw Jaime's spam of funny faces in my photo stream, clicking on my favorite and set it as my new home screen.

Once that was set, I quickly found his contact and hit call, pressing it up against my ear and waited for him to answer while I walked the 3 blocks back to my house.

I didn't really expect him to pick up since I had to get a new phone number, but I seriously hoped he would.

I got up to my porch and opened the door, but my phone was still ringing...

I sighed and looked up, seeing Hannah still on my couch, wrapped up in a blanket looking like she had this morning... dishoveled and hung over. I laughed at her but she kept her attention on the TV as she flipped me off.

I rolled my eyes and headed to the kitchen, "want a beer?" I asked, getting a silent nod in response.

"Hello?" a voice on the other line came through as I stepped foot into the kitchen.

It definitely wasn't my happy-go-lucky boyfriend... It was a more sadness filled person with a more sorrowful and crackling voice, like they had been crying for hours on end, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion.

What happened??

"Jaime? Whats wrong, baby?" I asked, setting down my backpack on the counter, reaching into the freezer for the beers.

There was a tiny scuffle on the other line, like sheets moving and then more silence came.

"La-Laney?" he croaked, sniffling away the sadness that laced his usually happy voice.
