I hurried over to Pierce the Veil's bus. I knocked the door and Matty stepped in front of me. I smiled and heard him laugh. I looked at the window and saw Jaime, Vic and Tony watching me. "Hey," Mike said as he opened the door. I saw him look around for me confused.
"Where's Kayleigh?" Mike asked.
"I saw her behind catering with Oli from Bring Me. They looked friendly," Matty explained.
"What?!" Mike demanded and started pulling a shirt on.
"Hey!" I exclaimed and came into view. He looked at me in shock and I rushed forward to hug him. He wrapped his arms around me and I laughed. We started to kiss passionately, having not seen one another for over a month.
"You're such a bitch," he told me easily.
"I know," I replied and kissed him.
"I hate you,"
"I know that too," I said and kissed him again.
"She's a bitch. He hates her. She knows. Can we let Matty in?" Jaime asked and Mike glared.
"More than a sentence without screwing up. Have you been practicing, Jaime?" I teased.
"Where's my hug, Kay'? I haven't seen you since our west coast shows," Jaime said. Mike reluctantly let me go and I laughed, letting my hand drag over his bare chest.
"I missed you too," I told Jaime. He hugged me tightly and ruffled my hair. I put my head on his chest and he smiled.
"Now we don't have to listen to him whine about how much he wants to see you," Jaime said. I moved to Vic and he grinned. He wrapped his arms around me for a friendly hug and we swayed on the spot.
"Or know when he's going in his bunk for adult face time," Vic added.
"Thanks," I said dryly.
"Or just phone sex,"
"We don't have phone sex," I said quickly. "What are we in? The eighties,"
"Of course not," Tony said. I walked over and went to fist bump him. He did the same but at the last minute he brought two fingers up to do the devil horns. He stopped at my wrist and grinned.
"Snail," we said in unison. I hugged him and he wrapped his arms around me. We slowly broke away and I went back to Mike. I kissed him again and he wrapped his arm around my waist. I saw Matty sitting with the boys and we walked over to the sofa opposite. Mike entwined his hands with mine as we sat and I put legs up onto his lap.
"That's so sickening," Jaime told us.
"I didn't complain when you and Jess started making out in front of me because you lost your hotel key," Mike replied.
"I was drunk!" he defended.
"Was not," Vic laughed.
"Don't you fall asleep when you're drunk?" Matty asked.
"In very awkward places," Tony confirmed.
"The first time I got drunk with these guys he disappeared. Fell asleep in a water fountain," I added.
"Before you punched Mickey Mouse in the face," Vic said.
"Oh yeah," I laughed.
"That's why I wanted you, you know," Mike whispered in my ear and kissed me on the cheek.
"I'm just with you for your tattoos and mad drumming skills," I teased.
"After nearly a year together you tell me!" he feigned a gasp. "I always assumed it was my rapping ability,"
"You know how I feel about that part of your career. Can we not talk about it? It makes me uncomfortable," I smirked.
"You know I got skills," he grinned.
"Hmm . . ." I muttered.
"Where's Abby?" Matty suddenly asked.
"Oh, she went to set up our tent. Apparently I have a phone appointment with another one tonight,"
"Another what?" Vic questioned.
"Teenage kid that wants to chop their step dad into pieces and bury them under the apple tree in the garden," Mike filled in. I turned to him and glared playfully. I hit him on the side of his head and he rubbed where I had hit. He raised his eyebrows at me and I did the same.
"Not all of the people that come to me are like that," I told them firmly.
"They so are," he sighed.
"This is why I don't discuss my work with you anymore. That was one person, Mike,"
"What happened to them?" Tony asked seriously.
"They're in a inpatient. I made the call myself," I explained.
"Your job is so fucked," Vic said.
"You love it though," Matty said.
"Of course I do! And Abby is awesome. She gives me therapy when Mike is being a dick,"
"So every other hour?" Jaime laughed.
"Funny," Mike sneered. Suddenly my phone started to ring. I struggled to take it out of my pocket and Mike helped me. I saw Abby's picture on the screen and smiled. I held it to my ear.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Hey, Kay'. It's all set up for tomorrow. I talked one of the Warped guys into doing it for me," Abby explained.
"Great! Are you going back to our bus now?"
"Yeah. Are you there?"
"No, I'm with Mike,"
"Oh, God! Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt,"
"Not like that," I muttered.
"Oh, your ghetto boy came looking for you," she giggled.
"I'll blow at his phone later," I replied, biting my lip to stop myself from laughing.
"And you have a pre booked next week at our tent. This girl was serious and demanded for you,"
"Guess I have a fan," I told her.
"I'll see you later. I've just spotted the shower is free," she told me.
"Okay, see you soon, Ab'," I said and hung up.
"Aren't you stretching it?" Tony asked.
"What?"
"You don't have a bus," Vic said.
"I kind of do,"
"You have a thing with wheels," Matty reminded me.
"It's an RV," Jaime said.
"Just because you're all so rich you have buses," I groaned.
"I said you could stay with me," Mike said.
"I'm not being that girl," I frowned.
"You being that girl was how you met," Matty said.
"No, I was with PTV. Not Mike," I replied. Mike frowned as his phone went off. He looked at it and frowned. I watched him and he moved my legs off of him. He shuffled away from me and replied to a text. I looked across at Vic who shrugged.
