Forgive Me- Part 1
Bets
Jaime's POV
*** Flash back***
"Jaime, there is no way you could survive without us" Vic scoffed.
"Are you kidding me? Of course I could!"
"Please, you couldn't even get to the next venue without us."
"I bet that I could"
"Seriously? You really want to bet that"
"Yea, I do"
"Okay, off the bus then."
"Wait what?"
"You placed the bet, so get off the bus and find your own way to Canberra"
"You can't be serious"
"I am entirely serious, you either get off the bus or admit that you need us and you have to do everything for me for like a week"

Why oh why did I have so much pride. I thought as rain started to fall. I shouldn't have made that bet. I pull out my phone to call vic and tell him that he won, that I need them. Shit, it's flat, of course it is, right when I need it most! You have got to be kidding me right now! I'm in the middle of nowhere, it's raining, I'm saturated and I have no way of getting in contact with the guys. Great. I'm screwed.
I keep walking, maybe there will be a service station further ahead where I can stop for a while. Maybe not...
I walk for almost half an hour in the rain before a car pulls in front of me.
Thank god!
I run towards the car grateful for an escape from the rain. I pull open the passenger door and poke my head in with a smile on my face.
She's gorgeous. Her purple hair was curled and she smiled at my as I opened the door.
“Thank you so much! I’m getting saturated out there!”
“American?” She asked me.
“That obvious?”
“Well you definitely don’t have an Australian accent. Now quick get in before the car floods.” She had a point...
“Oh! Sorry” I jumped into the car and push my hair out of my face as she begins to talk quickly
“okay I have to warn you, there are rules for being in my car.” Ha-ha of course
“one, if you have any weapons or anything that can be used as one you need to chuck it in the boot, cause I really don’t feel like dying today, two, no dissing my music, I completely understand if you don’t like it, you can go ahead and change the song or put on your own music, but I will not let you stay in my car if you start talking shit. Three; no raping or murdering me and four I can only take you as far as Canberra, if you are intending on going further you’ll have to find another lift.” I couldn't help but laugh at her rules.
“Ha-ha, okay well, I don’t have any weapons so I am good there, I can deal with music, and I promise that I won’t rape or murder you. And actually I am headed to Canberra, so is that okay?”
“Yes, very good,” she began to drive and pressed play on her music, it was ours. I felt myself smirk. Does she not realise who I am? Or is she just playing it cool?
“You like Pierce the Veil?” I asked her.
“Yea, I love them; they’re probably one of my favourite bands.”
“Do you know much about the band members?”
“Umm, just their names, I don’t really see the point in going any further than that. It’s not like I will ever meet any of them or ever need any of that information really.”
“So you’re just in it for the music?” To say that I was surprised would be an understatement.
“Yea, that’s what it’s all about isn’t it?”
“Yea, I totally agree.” I smiled at her, should I tell her who I am? “You want to know something funny?”
“Umm sure, I guess…”
“My name is Jaime.”
“Like the guy from Pierce the Veil?”
“Yea,” she really doesn't know.
“Wow, that’s awesome, what a coincidence.”
“Yea, I know right, you don’t mind if we don’t listen to them though do you? I mean it’s just that my friends and I listen to them so often that I think I need a break for a while” I don't think I could stand listening to my own music for an hour.
“Oh okay, yea sure, you can go through my music if you want, I don’t have a passcode on my phone”
I'm a little surprised that she trusts me with her phone, but I unlock it and go thorough until I find a song I know and press play.
“I never asked your name…”
“I’m Amelia.”
“It’s nice to meet you Amelia,” I think I'm going to enjoy being unknown for a while. To be treated like a normal human being for once.
