Yeah Boy and Doll Face!!

Chapter 8 - Bulletproof Love

[Vic's POV]

It was already 5:30 pm (time sure flew by around here). We went to the venue and started to reherse for tonight. Someone then gives me an envelope.

"What's that??" Mike asked. 

I open the envelope and read the letter in fancy script.

"Its an invitation for a masquarade gala party in Albuquerque. For the start of the tour," i said.

"Masquarade?? Like masks and mystery and stuff??" Tony said as he tuned his guitar.

"And waltzing??!" Jaime said as if the word was poison in his mouth.

"Pretty much. Party is in 5 days, this Friday," i said. It was Sunday.

"Where the hell are we gonna get masks and suits and learn how dance all fancy??" Mike said.

"We go to the internet, the source of, well, lessons??" i said.

The all shrug and continue to get ready. I guess we can figure out waltzing. Soon, we spot the girls come in through the backstage door.

"Hey, babe," Skylar said, wrapping her arms around Tony as they kiss.  Jackie just stands around and admires the venue. She seemed surprised about it.

I walk up to her, my guitar strapped around me and stand next to me.

"Like the venue??" i asked. She shakes her head as if she blacked out. "Yeah, i've never been backstage before. Venues are so big," she said, smiling.

She looked so beautifu when she was smiling. 

"Yeah, well, i get used to it. You will, too. And it will always be awesome," i said.

I look over at the guys who are urging me and telling me. then i see Jaime get on one knee in front of Tony and look like he was begging or something (What the fuck??). Skylar has a confused look on her face.Then Mike poits to my hand. i look and see its the invitation. Then i realize what their thinking.

They want me to ask Jackie to the party this Friday.

[Jackie's POV]

I looked around and saw how big the venue was from backstage. It was amazing, like a huge cage.

"Umm, Jackie, can i ask you something??" Vic asked.

"Yeah, what is it??" i asked.

"Well, there's this party on Friday for the beginning of the tours. And since we've been worked up with these weird thoguhts and flashbacks, i wanted to ask if..." he said, trying to get words out of his mouth. He looked so cute when he looked nervous...

"Yes??" i asked.

"Do you... want to... be my date to the party??" he asked, handing me the envelope i just noticed in his hand. I take it and read it. 

"A masquarade party after the last performance in Albuquerque at the venue before going straight to Dallas this Friday," i read.

"Yeah. So, will you be my date??" he asked. I can see he was super shy, since his cheeks blushed read.

"Well, you are a great guy, Vic. I would be honored," i said, wrapping my arms around Vic and hugging him.

All of a sudden, another memory comes to my mind. The scene of a park comes to view, and i spot me and Vic on a swing set, laughing. The thought disapperes and i look at Vic. He was about to say something when all of a sudden we heard fans screaming.

Pierce the Veil! Pierce the Veil!! Pierce the Veil!!

"Got to go. Hope you enjoy the show," he saids as him, Jaime, and Mike run to the stage. Tony pecks a kiss on Skylar's lps and runs behind the guys.

"You are gonna love this," Skylar saids as the fans cheered and we watched from the side.

Soon, Vic started singing.

I breathe you in with smoke in the backyard lights,

we used to laugh until we choked into the wasted nights.

It was the best time of my life, but now I sleep alone,

So darling, don't, don't wake me up, 'cause my thrill is gone.

(Say I'm wrong)

In the sunset turning red behind the smoke,

forever and alone.

Yeah!

You've gone and sewn me to this bed, the taste of you and me

will never leave my lips again under the blinding rain.

I wanna hold your hand so tight I'm gonna break my wrist,

and when the vultures sing tonight I'm gonna join right in.

I'll sing along, oh

'cause I don't know any other song.

I'll sing along,

but I'm barely hanging on.

No, I'm barely hanging on.

By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone,

and now there's nothing to do but scream at the drunken moon.

This isn't fair!

(No!)

Don't you try to blame this on me.

My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot me.

And god damn it, I can barely say your name,

so I'll try to write and fill the pen with blood from the sink.

Woah oh

But don't just say it, you should sing my name.

Pretend that it's a song 'cause forever it's yours,

and we can sing this on the way home.

I'll sing along, oh

'cause I don't know any other song.

I'll sing along,

but I'm barely hanging on.

No, I'm barely hanging on.

By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone,

and now there's nothing to do but tear my voice apart.

Nothing to do,

and scream at the drunken moon.

The fans cheered like crazy, me and Skylar cheered too. Vic's voice sounded so familiar, but i couldnt remember it. God damn my amnesia.

One thing's for sure, it would do me good going to the masquarade gala with Vic. He is a great guy, and has been a good friend to me.

I just wish i can remember him more, if i did have a past with him.
